A long time ago I watched a really bad movie called Armaggedon. It was so bad I puked in disgust for several weeks, so it's easy to understand why I was so reluctant to watch Deep Impact. Oh boy, this movie is great! No, in fact it's just average, but it's the best movie ever made if compared to Armaggedon. Even with stupid characters like Leo Biederman or the fact that nobody noticed that huge comet after the astronomer got killed.

Also rechristened my test machine at home "mrhankey", because it's a piece of crap. Also replaced a lot of system daemons -- let's try with smail, proftpd and roxen.

The guys at Brasil Telecom are not bright. Call them stupid would be an offense to the stupid people. They offer ADSL and you can choose between a crap^H^H^H^Haffordable 3Com PCI modem or an expensive, overpriced Cisco router (677, I guess). The router price is so obscene they thought nobody would want one. The company that installs the modems charge absurd setup fees, and sells external 3Com HomeConnect ADSL bridges for almost the price of the Cisco router. Blah.

Someone buy linus an UP box, otherwise he'll keep releasing SMP-only kernels. Perhaps I should donate mrhankey.
