alphacowboy, don't get me started on boyband bashers
kombatmud, really? that's how it's pronounced? as in eye-soos? i always thought it was pronounced phonetically, A-sus
deeko: yeah, I used to pronounce it that way too, but they play back a lot of recordings on hold with tech support, and most of them mention the name of the company. At least I learned something while waiting to get my video card fixed.
John,
Linus Torvalds himself calls it lin-ix
A lot of Linux people say that also.
But here is why is does not make sense:
The name Linus is pronounced Line-nus
They also modeled the sound after something Linux was based on: Unix which is pronounced U-nix (long vowel sound) not Un-nix (short vowel sound).
