They have to be the right heat. Today's Hot Thai Special from the Wrestlers at lunchtime was really quite hot. Lets just say I'll expect to know when it when it's on it's way out...

Hi Bugs,
They're both fine, giving us two eggs a day.

I cant say much about work, other than 'hacking the kernel"....
Running Linux on lower spec machines is all about what you get it to do. Not really a kernel issue, as long as it runs. Eg the ma ... |

No seriously. Try them. I think duck eggs are soo much nicer than hens eggs. I like them boiled with a little salt. Since they are bigger you need to boil them a little longer than you would ... |
