Well said, Sam. Glad to year you're enjoying the Maccy goodness. I'm sure some would be naysayers, holders-on to the old ways of Macs being the sole dominion of grandmas and graphics weenies. But then again, actions sometimes speak louder than words.

Hey, Novell

How's that agreement with Uncle Bill working out for you? Well, now you know why we didn't sign it. It looks like we've all got a few lawyer fees in front of us.

Microsoft's puppet group is probably going to ask for an injunction against Novell and Red Hat. Sadly, the entire future Linux could be decided by a judge in the next few days. Whether the suit has legs or not, an injunction would pretty much mean the end of every organization that depends on the distribution of Linux.

Sadly, the patent covers virtually any tabbed interface on computers. Software patents: They're awesome.

Freediot.com. "Idiots in love with free stuff" is their tagline. How do you turn a Wordpress Blog into a money pit? Well, you go 'round the net paying rubes to post links to you. Oddly, I wasn't able to find too much free stuff I would have been interested in, seeing as most of it is composed of free food or age creams and I am immune to Father Time's hoary touch; but there is probably the odd 400ml sample bottle of personal lubricant that you can still get past the TSA.


You might call it spamming, but I would remind you: even the great Orson Wells did commercials for wine he probably wouldn't have cleaned lug nuts with. Gotta pay the bills.
