Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.
Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.
DOS is for those who want to know why their computer doesn't work.

Surviving Mars would be nice.
In case of a problem:

I`d like Surviving Mars.
- So, I heard you`re going on vacation. Can your penguin live in my place while you are away?
- No, that`s not possible.
- Why?
- You always have your windows open.

Linux and Windows were fighting a battle. Soon, Linux won. When Tux was asked how they won so readily, he said "We can customize our Colonels."

* 1 to suggest to try to turn the lamp on through command lines.
* 1 to complain that the user broke the thread.
* 1 to ask what new bulb will he install.
* 1 to advice that we shouldn't use the word burn for meaning a broken lightbulb, because it would mean that the bulb was set on fire and that it wold be right to say that the bulb broke due to an excess of electrical current.
* 25 to suggest to install all the kinds of existing and imaginable
* 5 who say that the burnt bulb is an upstream issue that doesn't belong to the distro. There's an open bug on the bulb's developer mail list.
