Not only a dare, it is a double-dare!
Come on, you know you want to... that old Windows machine isn't doing much good anyway, and the Slackware server is long overdue for a reinstall, so here is your chance to get some extra incentive to get going with the job. :)
Or?
Update: Interesting, I get a lot of downvotes on this one. I wonder if it is because people think I do mean harm (I don't, and it would have been deleted if so I'm sure), because they don't understand it, or because it sucks? :) Please comment, I won't hold it against you. :) Or /msg me if you don't want to waste a post... I respect the opinions, but I am really curious. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
