One of my favorite words is actually "idiot". I used it one myselft
sometime which is easier to accept than when someone else uses it. Smile

Actually, it more like one of those cable science shows, "Eaten Alive",
"Monsters Inside Me", etc., where the parasite burrows in and causes
pain, itching, and gross welts, until the host gets it excised.

Then the victim pickles the little parasite in alcohol for a memento.

Quack has been pickled sine he was Larry. Probably long, long before
that, in fact. Alcoholism may be one of the prime reasons s/h/it's such

That's exactly it: install, tinker around, uninstall. Next day the same
thing.

It's so useless 99% of the world demands it and pays for it, but Linux can
barely be given away.
