Help The War on Terrorism

Posted on by

As you know, al Qaeda considers it a sin for a man to see
a naked woman who is not his wife. So, next Saturday at
2:00 PM Central time all American women are asked to walk
out of their house completely naked to help weed out any
neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour
is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.

All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in
front of their house to prove they are not al Qaeda,
demonstrate that they think it’s okay to see nude women
other than their wife and to show support for all
American women.

And since al Qaeda also does not approve of alcohol, a
cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your
anti-al Qaeda sentiment.

The American Government appreciates your efforts to root
out terrorists and applauds your participation in this
anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America!

Linus Interview

Posted on by

This is pretty old. But I really agree with it.

“What’s fundamentally wrong is that nobody ever had any taste when they did it. Microsoft has been very much into making the user interface look good, but internally it’s just a complete mess. And even people who program for Microsoft and who have had years of experience, just don’t know how it works internally. Worse, nobody dares change it. Nobody dares to fix bugs because it’s such a mess that fixing one bug might just break a hundred programs that depend on that bug. And Microsoft isn’t interested in anyone fixing bugs — they’re interested in making money. They don’t have anybody who takes pride in Windows 95 as an operating system.

People inside Microsoft know it’s a bad operating system and they still continue obviously working on it because they want to get the next version out because they want to have all these new features to sell more copies of the system.

The problem with that is that over time, when you have this kind of approach, and because nobody understands it, because nobody REALLY fixes bugs (other than when they’re really obvious), the end result is really messy. You can’t trust it because under certain circumstances it just spontaneously reboots or just halts in the middle of something that shouldn’t be strange. Normally it works fine and then once in a blue moon for some completely unknown reason, it’s dead, and nobody knows why. Not Microsoft, not the experienced user and certainly not the completely clueless user who probably sits there shivering thinking “What did I do wrong?” when they didn’t do anything wrong at all.

That’s what’s really irritating to me.”

– Linus Torvalds, from an interview with BOOT Magazine, Sept 1998

Netware cosies up to Linux

Novell reveals plans to offer parts of Netware operating system to run on Linux

Novell is adding more open source tools to its Netware operating system as it fights to keep the product’s market share from diminishing further.

The company has admitted that Microsoft and Linux will be the future dominant forces in the operating system market, and is planning to offer core elements of Netware as services that can run on Linux.

Novell adopts Linux as NetWare migration path
By DON TENNANT [APRIL 14, 2003]

SALT LAKE CITY — Faced with the reality of a steadily falling share of the network operating system market, Novell Inc. today answered the NetWare migration question. And the answer is Linux.

At its annual BrainShare user and partner conference here, Novell executives announced that NetWare 7, due out in approximately two years, will be a set of services that sits on top of both the NetWare and Linux kernels.

“We are not dropping NetWare; we are adding Linux. This is not a departure from NetWare,” said Jack Messman, Novell’s chairman and CEO. “We will not abandon you, and you need not abandon us,” Messman told the Novell faithful in his keynote speech.

cdbakeoven

Posted on by

Just installed cdbakeoven. Excellent program. Works much like k3b does, but seems a little lighter. It detected my ide-scsi enabled plextor wonderfully. MP3 -> CDAudio is working great! I didn’t see an option for writing directly to the disc instead of decoding the files first. I know K3b has that.
Setup was very simple. Nice clean and pretty interface. Wish it wasn’t kde dependant, but I dont mind seeing as I have all kde libraries and other necessaries installed.

Saddam stars in gay pr0n!

Posted on by

KUWAIT CITY — Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been caught with his pants down — literally. A shocking 1968 porn film has surfaced, in which the flamboyant strongman appears performing raunchy homosexual acts!

The image quality of the grainy 16mm film, uncovered by the Kuwaiti secret police, is poor — but experts who’ve taken a close look at the hairy-chested actor are “100 percent certain” it is a younger, trimmer Saddam.

“There is no doubt in my mind that this is Saddam — there’s no mistaking those eyes and that distinctive nose,” declares Hussein biographer Sadiq al-Sabah of Kuwait, who’s seen the eye-popping footage first-hand.

“It may be hard to believe that a man who now leads one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East once acted in blue movies, but to anyone familiar with how reckless and sexually promiscuous Saddam was in his youth, this will come as no surprise. It’s also a known fact that the young, desperate soldier did anything for money.

Michael Moore is a fuck

Posted on by | 14 Replies

This Michael Moore guy is a stupid little bitch. He should be in Iraq running around the streets with a towel around his head. I know this is america and freedom of speech applies. But I wish he would keep his damn thoughts to his pathetic excuse for a person. It’s not his beliefs that bother me, but his ignorance. I consider him a much worse person than Sadam himself.

Michael Moore can eat a big fat… dick.
That is all.
