The Iranian ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and
walked out into the lobby where he met the United States ambassador John Bolton.

They exchanged pleasantries and as they walked the Iranian said, "You know I
have just one question about what I have seen in America.

Ambassador Bolton said, "Well anything I can do to help you, I will."

The Iranian whispered, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there
is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese,
but no Iranians. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there
aren't any Arabs or Muslims on Star Trek."

Bolton laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador and whispered back,
"It's because it takes place in the future."

What kind of suckers are you, when anything you want can be created from atoms?

I'll figure out wtf with the email when I get home. The site I was trying to send you is:

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper

You should attempt to install:

1) mplayer
2) xine (dvd player)
3) k3b (kickass burner, authorer)

You can also use this site to fix MANY problems... search the page for ntp, and it'll tell you what you need to do to synch the clock. There were others you should install, but I can't think of what they are right now. I'd seriously hold off installing the myth software until the tv-card arrives, as you will be building many components that need to have other compenents installed... the hardware should be in place first to do this. Plus I've got a killer site that goes over it.

Also: gutterman needs another disk.
