Two words: goatse opportunity.

[substitute]

I'm sitting at D's right now and there's a tech guy here installing things. A 37" flatscreen LG monitor is up on the wall with the root@localhost prompt. There are driver messages all over the screen. He looks sad. It's like a trip back to 1996, when everything was done by hand. Apparently the mode lines aren't quite right.

Soon this will be one of those scrolling news/sports/ads/bullshit things on the wall; the others have them mostly already. It's not nearly as bad as a TV, though.

Linux kernel 2.6.10 on Redhat Fedora core release 3 (Heidelberg). ATI driver. Ça ne marche pas. I wish him luck.

Those screens are going into all the D's - their traffic maps and nothing else!

Also, D's is planning on opening up 95 stores in the next five years - they're serious in taking on Starbucks.

Hey - I'm down wit dat - more work.

Had some Peet's coffee for the first time the other day and was confused by it's lack of burnt flavor. Did I pay extra for that? D's and Starbucks gives it for free.
