    BEGIN RANT

    Look Jon, rather than sitting there and counting down to the Delisting of LNUX from NASDAQ, why not do something about
    it. I mean, why not got out and buy some stock in VA?
    Now is the time to put your money where your mouth is and invest in this company. You can trade in LNUX stock right now for only $0.82.
    Unless you cannot even spend a buck to save the company. BTW That is lees than that Fat Ass Sally Struthers begs for to feed the children.
    Exactly! VA is down to only 205 employees, and planning to cut more jobs before the end of this quarter.Understand?

    So, what is it going to be? Are you going to support this company and invest. Shit, look at the ads on the OSDN network. 90% of them
    understandably promote other OSDN sites. We need to get those big pocket investors in here to buy adspace.
    Contact the VA National Sales Director Eric Kazanjian eric.kazanjian@osdn.com, Voice: 650-551-0175, Fax: 650-551-0195, Mr.
    Kazanjian can also be mailed at eric.kazanjian@osdn.com. Call and see what you can do, buy a banner stating YOU HELPED!
    So, in conclusion :o), Another 2 cheeseburgers at Burger King, or supporting a great company? You Cockeater.

    END RANT

  7. Missing Man's Body Found in Freezer by Yahoo!+Messenger · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese police on Thursday arrested a woman on the northernmost island of Hokkaido after the body of her husband, who had been missing for five years, was found in a discarded freezer, a police spokesman said.

    The decomposed body of civil servant Hidenori Iinuma was found the previous day by employees of a real estate company who were trying to move the freezer, apparently abandoned on the firm's property.

    The body was clothed, doubled over to fit into the small freezer and covered with a blanket, police said.

    Police arrested Akemi Iinuma, 40, on suspicion of murder. She had reported her husband missing in 1997.
