    Er, kinda obvious innit?

    I actually applaud pornview for being honest about a major use people put their computers to. I notice none of the browsers that have recently rolled out a "porn mode" feature have gone within a hundred miles of calling it porn mode. Sure, maybe it is useful for doing somebody's birthday shopping, but I think we all know that's not what most normal healthy grown-ups will be using it for the other 364 days of the year.

    Christians view porn, they just feel guilty about it & seek counseling when they get busted.

    As you can see from my history, i was once an enthusiastic ubuntu user. I would hereby like to assert that i no longer recommend using ubuntu to anyone. I recommend using one of the many distributions that do not include ad-/spyware by default.

    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

    I think caca means poo in every language except Brazilian, where it means "great football(soccer) player ".
