"One of the barriers to linux on the desktop has been the hoops that have to be jumped through to rip and store music in a format compatible with other devices."
What are you talking about? I've been ripping and listening to MP3s on my Linux boxes for over 15 years! No more difficult to download and install the relevant MP3 bits on Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE, Umbongo and Mint than on Windows.
And was a Know-It-All too. Anything he couldn't wrap his mind around was bullshit as far as he was concerned. Couldn't talk about cars, astrophysics, regular physics or why women go shoe shopping without him jumping in and telling us why we were all Wrong. Even basic puns like the one about the dykes of Holland went over his head.
One day, with a little help from a co-worker, I got the conversation moving in a particular direction in which I told Mr. Know-It-All that down in Brazil the gauchos hunted the gazebos to the verge of extinction.
He believed it.
So I laid it on a bit thicker and told him that first they hunted the white ones for their hides and their horns (they used the horns to make nice inlays for their dagger handles) and, now that those are gone, they just kill the crappy looking ones for their horns and leave the carcasses to rot on the pampas.
He believed it all.
