Sucks or Scores is a game where the player/victim is asked their opinion on a topic. The response is either "sucks" or "scores", sucks being bad, scores being good. Another option exists, that being "pass", but it ruins the alliteration in the game's name.

Linus' response on Girl Bands is great. The man is clearly a thinker.

Hi Adam,
This is just a bit of fun. We'll look to take the camera to this year's Microsoft Tech.Ed conference and other developer events with a similar video.

Adam,
The title should have clued you in ("What's hot with Linux Luminaries"). Wtih that said, stop turning OS selection into a religion. The last religious war from a thousand years ago is still on going in the Middle East. There's enough hate going around ... the last thing we need is another excuse.
