Seriously? Motherfucker decides to open fire IN A MILITARY BASE and kills or injures more than forty people before they... take him into custody?

Any lingering shreds of respect I had for the military are now gone, gone, gone.

1. They took him alive. What are you guys thinking? You're now going to have to spend a hell of a lot of money on this fellow for the rest of his miserable life to make sure that he can't commit suicide or be revenge-murdered.

2. I would expect he should have been driven to the ground by the weight of the bullets that had converged on him. MILITARY BASE. These aren't ordinary people, these are soldiers. That there was enough left of this guy to stabilize in the hospital is pathetic.

Flash support in ubuntu still sucks for my box. Although I read some encouraging reports about 64bit flash version 10, I wasn't able to realize those performance gains.

"Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?"

Hm. Tough call. The smoking, nymphomaniacal Iris from Assault on Precinct 13? Or the chaste, brilliant veteran Nell, she of the girl's primer? Carnal or intellectual?

Hm hm hm...
