The mouseover had me doubled over. I will have to share with Beloved Husband when he gets home.
He insists that one of the house computers must be able to run Linux, but since most of his nearest and dearest (particularly the under 17 set) don't want to use Linux, the computer that runs Linux has a double boot set up, which means that if one turns on the computer and then gets distracted, the moment to state a preference will come and go, and the machine will default to Ubuntu. This state of affairs is referred to locally as "being Ubuntu-ed", as in "Hey, stop chatting and pay attention! You're about to be Ubuntu-ed!"
We maintain he is a System Lord. Just a virtual one, perhaps less evil than the more powerful Billgates.
Perhaps from now on I won't say "You're gonna get Ubuntu-ed!" I'll just yell "Kree!"
