Wow, in the past only the OEM was able to fuck up a perfectly good plastic surface with gaudy logos for commodity hardware and software packed in with my machine; now I can do it all by myself!

Now that's not true! When you build one, an AMD processor, Abit motherboard, Nvidia vid card and Soundblaster Audigy all came with "Powered by XXX" stickers...

When I built my wifes, she insisted I put all of them on her case.

When I build my next computer I gotta put all the manufacturer stickers I get on top of each other, and then stick an Ubuntu sticker on top!

No, no, unacceptable.  Your computer must be one color and free from exterior adornments.  The only acceptable things to have on your computer are an Intel (or AMD) case badge, and a "designed for Windows" badge.  Anything else is criminal, and probably against your EULA.  As bedouin of the desktop computer police says, it is wrong to "fuck up a perfectly good plastic surface".

Is it also illegal to tear off the M$ Certificate of Authenticity sticker on the bottom of laptops and backs of desktop cases ? I tore em off :D

On my Dell, the sticker has the Windows XP product key on it.  Just in case I ever have to reinstall...

Just thought I'd point out that n almost never stands for infinity.  Rather, it signifies the final number at the end of a finite series.  So, it can be arbitrarily large, but not necessarily infinite.

Well 'n' doesn't actually stand for anything. But yes it is often used in series purely by convention, however it is also used in approximations of infinite series where it's value aproaches infinity. Ok, it is not infinity, but what if it were ?

No, since N is undefined.

Why do people say shi and tsu so much? ;) シツ!シツ!シツッッッッッッッッッッッッッッッ!

And badges. Nice. I was looking for something that made me more of a dork to people. They already think I'm a hopeless freak for using nothing but linux. I'll show them. I'll start using solaris and bsd.
