[QUOTE=OhioRacer,Jan 12 2005, 05:27 PM] shouldn't you be "whipping it out" about now and walking on the beach looking at the sunset?

Hershey's vs. Nestle's?

Coke vs. Pepsi?

Good thread, Rob (as usual)... OK, my closest-to-home controversy right now is Linux vs. Windows. This is probably a meaningless controversy for 99% of you out there, but the whole process of open source development vs. "closed" source is fascinating to me and reaches way beyond computer science...

Chaz, did you see that IBM announced today they were releasing a shitload of their code to open source?

Can we get back on topic and get someone pissed off? Where's Jerry?

No, I didn't. Interesting. Thanks for the tip, Carmen.

I can't believe it. We've found common ground. We finally agree on something.
I didn't think it was possible.

Wow

It's good to be back. I was just at the beach where a crazed woman with an overly large head and a funny haircut was chasing me with a chain saw!!

Glad I escaped

I like your color too Rob. We both have good taste.
