I used to date a woman who did PR and marketing for MS, so you can imagine we had some in-depth and sometimes heated discussions about MS vs. Linux and Macs.

Well, one day we were going hiking, and she presented me with a really nice backback. The only issue with it was that it had the MS logo emblazoned all over it. Of course, she knew I wouldn't refuse it.

Anyway, she said to me, "Isn't that nice? See? What'd RedHat ever give you for free?"

I replied, "An operating system."

That was one long, quiet hike.

Now this is a cool project to mess around with. Medical equipment doesn't really need to cost thousands of dollars!

This is a dinky script to replace id tag with incrementing ids, IE, it replaces @id: with @1:, @2:, @3: etc.

I can't get it to work quite right. And I know it's hideous, but I only spent 30 minutes on it!

#! /bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
	echo "Useage:  tagManager.sh -[a|r] file"
	exit 1
fi

INPUT=$2
BACKUP=$2.bak

function addtags()
{
	COUNT=0
	IFS=$'\n'
	
	mv $INPUT $BACKUP
		
	# must fix this so it handles comments correctly, this turns "/****" into
	# a file listing of / and dumping it in your file.  Here's a lame 
	# workaround that removes those comments.

So I guess it's official. The retarded cowboy has been re-elected. This is a black day in history.

This country is going to hell. I'm definately not moving to Portland or any other areas of concentrated populations now.

This is what we need:

I will not vote for Bush. I'm not that concerned about who actually *wins* the election, as long as it's not Bush. The vote I wish I could cast is Bush -1.

This lady took the time to write down some reasons for that.

I have several dear friends and family members who are struggling with the
