    Mozilla 1.0 RC1 has been released. If we all remember Windows 2000 RC1 this means "pretty damn stable" (but since this is open sores, I'm skeptical). Get your copy today!

    The cure sounds worse than the disease. As I read this story I thought it was a bad joke.

    THE CULT OF THE DEAD COW OFFERS A HELPING HAND IN AMERICA'S TIME OF NEED

    This hyprocritical line caught my eye:

    So we intend to re-architect Back Orifice
    from the ground up. There will be absolutely no
    shared code between the two projects,
    in order to skirt detection by commercial
    antivirus packages. The code will remain
    totally secret. The software will never
    surface publicly.
    And it will be far
    more stealthy than anything we have ever
    released, demoed, or publicly discussed.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, we like Open Source for everyone except for us - because we know better. Save it for the newspapers, Oxblood.

    The only torture going on is the torture you do to yourselves screwing every single thing up to be "This is the worst thing that's ever happeded!"

    Torture is another matter entirely, however

    I'll get modded down for this (and you) are completely off topic, but toture is just as bad.

    Interesting read? Try Matthew 5 - 7: Sermon on the Mount. That's some radical religious thinking for you.

    Don't mean to stir up a religious battle or flamewar. Just thought I'd respond to your misperception.

    Hmm. Murder, not Kill? That might explain the ease with which the Israelis just took out all those Palestineans in Jenin.

    Check out sites like weseeyou.org. Great info and it lets you act on the news you read. It's now my homepage. I'm tired of standing quietly by while Republicans and Democrats let corporations dictate U.S. policy.
