OK, Patrick, I understand that you want this thread to go away. (Sorry!) But on re-reading Jacob's statement about "hot burning oil" I must point out that biomass (such as oil from cannabis, alcohol from corn, etc) can not be grown in sufficient quantity to replace our current technological society's need for fossil fuels. Here is a link to more on this subject: http://www.dieoff.com/synopsis.htm
Hey, we wouldn't even *have* computers to run Linux on without oil! When the oil stops flowing (or becomes too expensive) our computers will stop running. World oil "production" is expected to peak around 2012, that is when the madness will really set in. Without oil, America and Europe are sunk, all our freedoms go out the window, and human slavery makes up the difference. That is if anyone survives the oil wars (think desperation!) Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Enjoy it while you can.
