My sincere apologies for any comment of mine that was out of line. Based on the light warning for TechieMoe, I am taking this to mean that everyone understands that I normally do not have condescending intentions. I edited the aforementioned post to be more appropriate.
Thanks for pointing it out to me, TechieMoe.

Thanks for pointing it out to me, TechieMoe. | No problem. We all have off days. I've had to edit, lock and/or delete several of my posts in the past. | |

| Another side of the Ubuntu Tipping Point article
Here's hoping we get something more than a "lack of interest" at contests like these in the future. I see them as being valuable for weeding out bugs, particularly if they're performed ethically like this one. Linux isn't perfect, and it needs the attention these folks devoted to try and exploit the Mac and Vista laptops. | |

| This is what we call in Hungarian " Explaining our school card records".

| When a pupil gets a bad mark, he/she uses to explain his/her failure to the parents, friends... Of course the teacher is guilty for his/her fall. It's hard to translate Hungarisms but, I've attempted.
