    Not that this isn't pretty freekin cool, but nowadays to have an on-board linux machine isn't too tough.

    Throw a Gumstix Overo or Sheevaplug in your saddlebag and you motorcycle can have a linux server too ;) #mavizenttx02

    Consumer: "Can I have it with Windows?"

    Reseller: "No, It's a bike"

    (Think about it)

    ...

    Consumer: "Hi, I have a problem with my computer. It doesn't seem to work anymore."

    IT Help Desk: "Let's see if I can help... When did the problem first arise?"

    Consumer: "First came up when I lost control and rode off the side of a cliff."

    IT Help Desk: "Umm..."

    @Nitesh Singh: Kernal panics sound so much crazier than the whole BSOD. I mean, it almost makes me want to use linux just to experience one. I can just imagine a computer running down the street screaming as zombies and military personnel clash in combat.

    You make 1 crash, and thats just like you threw your laptop out the window (or into the back of a car at low-high speed).

    And that thing better have a Solid state HD in there for when you do things like go over speed bumps and bumpy roads. #mavizenttx02

    @jamjen: I used to live in Australia and had my fair share of Koala.

    1st: they aren't soft like they look. They feel hallow and matted

    2nd: They smell! You know how you see the little Koala hanging on to the mom's back. Well the reason is all they eat is Euculiptis (sp?) leaves which are toxic. To build an immunity they babies feed only off of their mother's feces which has smaller amounts of the toxin until they have immunity. So while its cute that he's hanging on to her back, his other hand is catching the feces and shoveling into his mouth. #ubuntu910karmickoala

    @Ridley: I've never lived in Australia but I visited once & held a koala for a tourist photo op (sorry) and I loved every second of being with that smelly, furry, awesome being. I don't know what Ubuntu is nor do I care - I only clicked through to hopefully see more photos of koalas and to discuss koala related things. Um, yeah. I know. #ubuntu910karmickoala

    My apartment is infested with Koala bears, it's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light a bunch of koala bears scatter, and I don't want them to, I'm like "Hey hold on fellas" let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf.
