But do they know where to find me? At any rate, it looks like I will now be
spending the rest of my vacation in fear, looking over my shoulder to see
what that loud noise was...

The hippos have your IP now. You think *you* know traceroute? No, the
hippos can tell you about traceroute, when they find you. It's only a
matter of time.

Ooh, where's that? Is that a fun place to be? How long is the flight
from the US? Do you need a visa?
OAU
P.S. Me too.

No, you don't need a visa, in fact you don't even need a ticket, the
itinerary goes something like this:
1. Escape from Cygwin
2. Hippo pursuit
3. Guantanamo bay
4. ???
5. Open source!
cheers,

Btw, the reason that linux has such a small market share has got to
be due to the fact that Hippos aren't very stealthy. Despite the
ninja outfits, I suspect that Eric will have plenty of time to plan
his escape since he'll notice the hippos coming well in advance of
their arrival.
I think Microsoft uses wolverines for their retrieval process.

Hmm. I'm back from vacation, and while I did see some hippos (including
Spot and Sonia [1]), none of them tried to drag me back. Better luck next
time!
http://www.longleat.co.uk/attractions/safari-boats.html
I especially like the phrase that these two hippos are "Longleat's most
dangerous animal". But no photos? And what's with using "hippopotamus"
as plural?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hippopotamus
says that it is either "hippopotamuses" or "hippopotami" (reminds me of
the Far Side cartoon of the octopus convention with the MC getting
confused on how to make a plural)

I don't think the Cygwin project can allow two weeks of vacation
from a key resource.
Maybe a couple of days, I could see but how is free software going to
survive if people keep taking vacations? This tendency for open source
people to "go on vacation" shows a clear focus on fun and that's why
open source will *never* be taken seriously.
