    the artical didn't say anything about linux, windows, or os x. One could assume windows systems were targeted, but assumptions are the mothers of all (word i can not say cause this forum is way to strict.. and i wouldn't want to get yet another warning) ups

    No, he didn't.
    He implied they are all either high-class hookers (something completely different ;)) or gold diggers, considering it takes a MacBook. :)

    I was wearing a firefox shirt one day and the hostest chick ive ever seen comes up out of nowhere and starts talking to me. she starts going into all this linux jargen and and kernals and all kinds of crap I have no idea what she was talking about. I remember thinking omg this girl is so hot and she knows all this linux stuff. was pretty cool.

    im not acustomed to running into geek chicks.

    my brain was not functioning at a normal level at the time. some kind of undocumented hot smart chick system shock. There was a whole lot of stuff I didnt get. I failed basically.

    not only was her knowlege way over my head but she was so hot I couldnt function a normal conversation. I know where she works thats about all I got.

    Track her down man, then "accidentally" run into her at a cofeshop near her palce or something. We linux users dont give up that easily :D

    Give hope to the rest of us. Be our saviour :D

    In that case, act as the romantic uber geek and tell her that her lshw caused an inner kernal panic and that it took some time to finally grep yourself together but that she can chmod you as she pleases. ;)
