Greetings!

A quiet day- so far...
Yesterday, at the library, I found a couple hillarious Star Trek mash-ups. One: The Kirk\Spock Luv- AKA The Lost Gay Episode. I will try to track down the site where it came from and link it. Two: Lene Taylor's The Truth About Kirk And Spock. Don't be put off by the the mellow 40's music at the beginning. Rated NC-17 for mentions of oral sex between Kirk and Spock. Again, I will try to find it...

Now I shall drivel, drabble, and blither cross-eyed badger spit. You have been warned. =p

You know what some good songs are? (Retorical question.) "Believe", by The Bravery. Another one? "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" by The Offspring. Then Rihanna- SOS (to the tune of Tainted Love!) and Depeche Mode. All Depeche Mode, though I prefer Marilyn Manson's do of "Personal Jesus" to their original.

You know what some sucky songs are? (Retorical again.) Cat Stevens. No offense, but after you've heard one, you've heard them all. Also Carly Simon. And, no offense to lovers, most Paul McCartney. The Beatles are okay, as are John Lennon (R.I.P *sob*- and he was cute in his 20's! Have you seen his eyes? They're like a cats!) but not plain Paul McCartney. My dad loves him, so we hear a lot of him.
Okay, I have a feeling that this is a dangerous topic. Moving on....

WARNING: IF YOU LOOOOOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT WIN***S AND HATE LINUX OR IF YOU ARE (a) BILL GATES OR (b) STEVE JOBS, READ NO FURTHER!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! CONTAINS EXPLICIT LINUX LOVE!!!


Check that bit about Bill Gates- if you are him, read on and feel the waves of torment because Win***s is only #1 in the US... Linux is all over the rest of the ENTIRE world! And the only reason Win***s Explorer (what an oxymoron) is the #1 web browser is that the crappy Win***s operating systems will most often crash your computer and sue you if you try to install Firefox or Seamonkey or any of the other Linux browsers.

Sorry. I hate Win***s. But you probably guessed that rather early on.

BEGIN THE LINUX LOVE TIRADE:

Can you customize Win***s? I mean REALLY customize? More than changing your avatar or wallpaper or icons? I didn't think so.
WAIT NO MORE! Switch to Linux!
I have included some screenshots of my Wolvix so you all can see what a customized version looks like, and later when I get my StarSlax done- uber personal Slax with a Star Trek TOS theme!- I will post pics of that too.
AND- as all Linux systems are all TOTALLY FREE you will never need to pay another $90 monthly fee to Win***s, PLUS you will never get sued in any way for infringment or whatever other bullcrap Microsoft makes up just to be ***holes.
And that's not all!!! What do you do if Win***s crashes, or gives you "the blue screen of death" or gets a virus despite all your expensive Microsoft anti-bug firewalls? There's only one thing you can do short of trashing the damn thing- pray. Pray HARD. Win***s won't do ANYTHING to help you.
In Linux- Wolvix for example, which I am using right now, say a program crashed and froze your mouse. Don't pray just yet- FIX IT! Key-command (you can program your keyboard to different shortcuts uber-easily, BTW) up a Terminal and type in "xkill" and just click on the thing you want to kill. Over in seconds, no hassle, no sweat. And in a super-extreme case, you may have to restart your machine, either manually or with a "reboot" command.
Try doing anything even close in Win***s.

And here's the REAl kicker:
WIN***S SPYS ON YOU. THEY REALLY DO. THEY ALSO SELL YOUR INFO.
In Linux, there is no info to sell.
And I do have firsthand experience with the Win***s spying business.
My mom was listening- only listening- to a CD (I think it was Goldfrapp) in her Win***s XP- running machine. (I know. She has one- ONE!- program that must have Win***s.) Within minutes- MINUTES!!!- the computer had gone into red-alert copyright mode- AND CRASHED.
This was a pain in the *** because we had to rebuild the damn thing TWICE.
But the real kicker?
The computer began acting really strange-like, crashing when we tried to play certain files and when we put a CD in the tray to hear it. After a while Dad got fed up and -in Linux- tracked down the source of the problem.
Guess what it was?
Windows spyware.
All those times we had gone online after rebuilding the laptop, those few, simple strings of code had sent a detailed inventory of ALL of our- well, my parent's- files to Microsoft. Including all our music, pictures, documents, e-mails, and Bob-knows-what else.
Well- after discovery, Dad tried to just delete the nasty little f***er- but guess what?
It moved.
It moved its little *** faster than greased lighting to some obscure Win***s directory we had never seen before.
It took two days to crack the nasty little spy and "modify" the code somewhat.
I won't tell you in detail what we did in case Bill Gates really does read this, but for the name we wrote "fubill."
Hah.

But it was too late. Microsoft now has Mom and Dad's computer in their database.

Not mine, however. I just got it this Christmas from my parents. It had Vista on it when it was bought, but that was bulldozed before I even got to touch it, let alone get online.

And there is more. But it is probably way to boring for most of you who. If you feel it would not be, e-mail me at bugzaboo@gmail.com
No hate mail there. Tell me on this site. And anyway, I warned you before I started the rant. So really, you have no basis for sending me hate mail.


Well, that was a fraction of a peek into my views. That will probably be the closest to politics I will ever get on this site, as I can't even vote yet. And I think it is rather dangerous to bare your political views to people you don't know, especially online.

So....

On another topic, THE STAR TREK MOVIE OPENED TODAY! (I wrote this May 7th)
The only reason I am even thinking of going to watch it is that the old Spock, Mr. Nimoy, is in it. That is all. The new Spock, no offense to him, looks NOTHING like the old one! The original Spock was drop-dead fiiiine, whereas this Quinto guy- well, for starters, his nose isn't big enough. (And I mean face-nose, not the other "nose".) Plus his face is lopsided and un-symmetrical, and how about that Kirk?
OK, OK- I'll shut up about them now. I've already been quite heated about it with a Burger-King guy who said that the original Spock "wasn't much to look at."

On to another ST topic....
The wild, wacky world of fan fiction.
Some of my faves are Saavant- www.geocities.com/saavaant (yes, two 'a's for the address), Farfalla-

Oh geez- gotta go right now or risk groundation!

Live Long And Prosper
