Thankfully, it doesn't actually matter that I can't.
But the misunderstanding of my use of "dark side" can't go unchallenged. The Dark Side is what drives Linux development, the need to discover new ways in which to make Linux and Gnu software larger and larger, irrespective of whether that leads to greater functionality or merely cosmetic, irrelevant decorations. That's all that I believe needs saying, the details will make for interesting archeology, a few hundred years, if that many, from now.
