Slashback: Norwegian, Nader, Handheld
Putting it all online. "As earlier reported on Slashdot, poor Ottar Grepstad has difficulties getting into his database. Now they're available for download! This is one geeky challenge you don't want to miss. :-) You'll find the story here (click on 'the password mystery'). 'use Xbase;', anyone? :-)"
The loyal opposition. Helmholtz Coil writes "Yahoo! is carrying a rebuttal to the letter James Love and Ralph Nader wrote to the OMB, from the fine folks at ZDNet. Some interesting points, very interesting tone to the whole piece. The question is, though-when can we expect a rebuttal to the rebuttal?"
They need a Free OS focus group :) Gecko writes "Remember the PCs without a pre-installed operating system, selling at Wal-Mart's? OSNews got their hands on one of these and they test Windows, Linux and BeOS. Apparently, the company behind these products had immediately replaced the on-board winmodem with a hardware PCI one, in order to be compatible with Linux, but their new AthlonXP/Duron PC models now come with a newer S3 Savage4 DDR integrated graphics card that is not supported by XFree86. One keeps wondering why they sell these PCs without Windows, if they are not able to test their hardware with other OSes before sending them to Wal-Mart for sale."
A new meaning for Pocket Rocket. Hot on the heels of XScale introductions and announcements from Toshiba and Fujitsu, Brian writes "Acer, Inc. today announces the Acer n20 series, eight months after announcing support for the Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 platform, the announcement also made Acer one of the few manufacturers to support both the Palm and Pocket PC platform. PDA LIVE.com again has the scoop and the photos :)"
I hope the pace picks up on the introduction of machines based on Intel's XScale processor.
Dog Star. DHR writes "An update to an earlier story shows that Sirius the satellite radio provider has finally come to their senses and withdrawn their petition to restrict the 2.4GHz band."
Intermission. bubblegoose writes "Yahoo has a story about Film88 being taken down by the MPA. They say it's because the servers were in the Netherlands, I think it more likely due to a good /.'ing."

I hope high gas prices are depriving your children, you fucking dumbass.
This is exactly the point I was trying to make. No excrement is created by Pac-Man, allowing him to not get bowel disease.
Isn't it obvious, it is cheaper for the customer to get Windows Preinstalled and MS looses potential sales this way. So they make machines without an OS, which most consumers will install Windows on anyway, and sell them cheaper. People think they are getting a bargain and then have to buy Windows for more. So the company is most likely in cohoots with MS to design OS'less machines that can only run Windows. I like a good conspiracy theory.
I am not paranoid, just ask the people following me.
i lay quivering naked before her strangely overwhelmed by her prescense. you like this dont you, you sick bitch she growled. gracefully she lifted a long leather clad leg. theen abruptly forced her obsidian high hell down deep between my buttocks. i left out a cry of pain tears flowing from my eyes. strangely i had never been more aroused. my penis was glowing beneath my belly with incredible heat. suddenly the pain in my anus abaited. roll over, bitch the mistress commanded emphasizing the point with a switf kick to my ribs. instinctively, i complied. and then i got bored with this little erotic fantasy. we reversed roles magically. i took her riding crop and shoved it six inches into her anus. then i forced her to suck my throbbing cock. i grabbed her by the throat and sprayed cum on her face. she choked surprised by the sudden turn around. locking my finger into her dark black hair i forced my penis into the deepest recesses of her throat coming to an escatic climax as she jerked her body in heaving choking rythmn.
Guess what?
CLIT is actually a single imbecile pretending to be a movement. FUCK YOU CLIT
Who trolls the trolls?
He left behind the key to his post office box.
Jesse W. Murphy, 21, was booked into jail Tuesday on a charge of burglary in the break-in early that morning, sheriff's Detective Mitch Alexander said.
A backpack left at the scene contained a set of keys, including one for the post office box.
Alexander and Pinehurst Police Chief Brad Kitchen determined who had the box and headed to Murphy's home in Smelterville. Alexander said the next clue was at their feet.
"There was a price tag for a snowboard with the regular price and sale price laying right at the foot of the front door," Alexander said. "It was the same type of tag I had seen in the shop while we were processing the scene."
