100%? No.
95%? Yes.
For someone working on his PhD, you sure are fucking STUPID.
What's wrong, does the prospect of the un-annointed posessing
firearms and keeping the money they earn bother you for some reason?
You are the goddamned WORST statist I have come across in months.

The term "popular" is MEANINGLESS in consumer computing. DOS3
was more "popular" than contemporary Macintoshes despite the
likelihood that someone like you would pay the extra money to
not have to deal with DOS3.
Network effects are everything in computing.

Interesting notion: should unearned income be taxable, and earned

Illogical, given that these "habitual flamers" never actually
seem to reply to you. I doubt it's because of your .sig's
mystical powers of deterrance. Your .sig *IS* full of petty
attacks, and you didn't reply to the fact that you waste
bandwidth.

Well, they had the 180mm "Long Tom" gun on a tracked platform.
Self-propelled Artillery are always accompanied by ammunition
carriers, which can pack up and skedaddle quickly in case of
attack. (It takes a lot of time to limber/unlimber a gun).

Actually, death taxes and income taxes exacerbate the problem by
CONCENTRATING wealth into the hands of the politicians.
And then people wonder why government becomes corrupt.
The higher the tax rates, the more corrupt the politicians.

F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.

When I tried to install XF84 4.0.1 I had a miserable failure. Just recently
I've started to fuck around w/ 4.0.2; not surprisingly, my first attempt was a
failure. No problem. Rename some directories around (old/new /usr/XF116 and
/etc/X11 directories). I've only spent 5 minutes fucking around w/ getting xf86
4.0.2 vs. 3.3.6 to work, but I'm not hurried. I can switch in a matter of 10
seconds.
