This result is not a surprise, the question was when...

Often, lots of talent comes with lots of burden.

We would create one, but then people like you would crap all over it like you did in this one (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?11600-Remember-9-11).

A thread was created to remember 9/11 and you said:

I wonder how many Americans know of the top off their head how many were killed in Srebrenica. In fact, I wonder how many have even heard of it. Hell, not even the spell-checker in my browser has...

I believe I was making a point about the lack of knowledge/coverage of non-American atrocities, so thanks for proving my point!

Incidentally, how goes your battle with paranoid schizophrenia (http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=699&start=30)? We were all worried for you, and slightly amused as well.

Of course, but people are far more apt to enable the likes of junkies like Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, etc, because of the fame, fortune, blah blah blah.

Good thing this thread going off-topic/rude posting/combative behavior is in the "Off-Topic" sub-forum, and that it's not specifically Geekhack related, or I would have pressed the BIG RED REPORT BUTTON.

On post 300 on the Deskthority Wiki Discussion Thread (http://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=70&start=300) they are now arguing about font rendering.

I was busy updating all my wikis while that was going on.

Do remind me, what do you do around here anyway? Other than talking about Deskthority of course...

I'm sure we could always let you back in. We could always do with some more wild conspiracy theories about Webwit stalking you.

Oh man! If you're going to derail this thread (which I think is fine in a non-keyboard, off-topic forum)....at least post a photo of geekgirl wannabe as a sort of pay-off....

Why does she have my old keyboard?  I know its mine because it has my Titanium Esc key.  Creepy,  going to go scrub myself ala Ace Ventura Pet detective.

For the past couple of days, I was too busy for revisiting the thread. More action than I would expect.

I chose not because Norway was already in every news papers and TV channels. At least over here in Canada. I didn't see any reason to add one more channel to it.

Amy's death was a surprise, as opposed to a flood of information about the even sadder events in Norway.

Does she has the right to rest in peace even if she was troubled?
Can she rest in peace even if a crazy fk killed more or less 90 innocents in Norway?

I like her early work.

RIP Amy

Her death is a tragedy, but I hope her life wasn't anyone's gold standard, either.
