In response to Aaron's post...


cannon: A large tubular firearm designed to fire a heavy projectile over a long distance.

Canonical: An innovative company designed to "realize the potential of free software". The Canonical logo may look like a cannon, but any such resemblance is merely coincidental... or is it?
