After thinking about it, I realized that you are a GENIUS. Redefining the problem is exactly what's needed here. Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Be it known throughout the land that the linux project is a resounding success and is #declared Completed. Behind the scenes, armies of gurus tend headless linux machines that ARE the essence of the world wide web that we know and love. This Saturday in Times Square and similar venues worldwide, there will be a party to celebrate. There will be wine, food and song. Each linux programmer and user will receive a symbolic link to /dev/70virgins as your reward for selfless devotion to the project. Party Hardy, fellow Herons. But all you linux geeks won't be out of work. Next Monday marks the launch of a significant new initiative. The goal is to build a desktop version of linux with a display and user interface designed to be interactive with ordinary people in ordinary personal and business situations. This endeavor will embrace the good parts of windows, but go beyond, unencumbered by installed base, obsolete standards compliance and organized, managed development. It will forge and maintain new standards, coordinate hardware and software vendors, create standardized regression tests and will maintain a common repository for 100% compatible applications. The tentative name for this initiative is windows-unix or winsux for short. For more details, dump the contents of distrowatch.org to a file, grep it for the name of your linux distribution on the same line as a 7-digit hash code containing at least two, but not more than four (letter [A-F]) hex digits. Use that number to index into the linux_is_easy file found at youbetchaitseasy.com Download the source code from the link found there and execute the Makefile to compile the application that accesses our secure information server. Windroids, just click here. This is a bold new direction for linux. Soon, there'll be a winsux computer on every desktop. We've been successful in the server market, we will be successful in the desktop market.

You can call yourself a creative genius when you've done what I've done. My walls are covered with the first run editions of /intricate valuable artwork/. I have the originals safely stored away too. All these pieces were commissioned before they were started, and they represent thousands of dollars in revenue. They were all done by the same artist.

You did know that in Junior high school I memorized the Latin genus of all the snakes in North America? I was a herpetologist by age 15...the same time I began to sell my cubist paintings.
