Hall On Worldwide Open Source Movement
adamsmith_uk writes "There's an article up on ZDNet
summarizing an interesting speech from Jon "Maddog" Hall about non-US open-source, as well as protecting open-source from 'looters' - well worth a read: 'The open-source development community is an international treasure and should be protected as such, said veteran Linux advocate Jon "Maddog" Hall, in a talk in Birmingham, UK, that emphasized the role of open-source software outside the United States.'"

I just assumed he drank a lot of very cheap wine
I'm sorry for posting this but I just have to express that Jon just has to be the cutest linux luminary out there. Is he single?
Speak truth to power.

So don't slashdot it, please. They had Linux ATM's for about 2 or 3 years.
"ALL the way up in your little sister," Momma insisted. Momma had
caught the two of us "making out." We weren't really fucking or anything
like that, just feeling each other up, and kissing, and stuff like that.
Momma caught us. Boy was she mad! After yelling and screaming, calling Lori
a slut, and me even more unmentionable names, Momma finally calmed down. Or
at least, she seemed to. What she did next, I still find hard to believe.
At first, I figured that Momma had cracked. You know, gone over the edge.
Loony-bin. That stuff. Well, I guess Momma cracked all right. Cracked right
out of her shell. Inside, Momma is a very kinky lady, and I guess she had
been holding it back for years. Anyway, once she realized what we were
doing, Momma decided (probably correctly) that no matter how much she
screamed and hollered, we probably wouldn't stop sneaking around and
playing with each other. So, she decided that if we were going to play
around, we might as well do it right. In fact, that's what she told us.
"Huh?" I said. Lori's mouth was gaping too. "I said, if you're going to
fuck around with your little sister, you might as well REALLY fuck her, and
do it right." I still couldn't believe what I was hearing. My staid, prim,
old-fashioned mother, actually TELLING me to fuck my own sister? No way!
Momma had just started, however. "You're not on the pill, are you?" she
asked Lori. "Momma!" You could tell by the tone, that my little sister had
never even thought of such a thing. I mean, you don't go on the pill,
unless you PLAN on being fucked. Lori was still a virgin. Momma semi-
apologized, "Well, you never know. Some kids get them from school, or
the free-clinic. They aren't allowed to notify parents any more, unless the
kids tell them to." Momma looked at Lori even closer. "How long ago was
your last period?" she asked. Lori thought a bit, then responded, "I dunno,
about two or three weeks ago. Somewhere in there." "Good," said Momma. "Now
why don't you two get undressed, and do this properly." "Steve," she said,
turning to me, "if you're going to fuck your little sister, you'll both be
more comfortable on the bed." Momma WANTED me to fuck my sister? I looked
at Momma in astonishment. Momma's face clouded up again. "NOW!" she said,
making us both jump. "I'd better see nothing but two naked bodies in your
bedroom Lori," she said emphatically, "in two minutes, or you're both going
to be sorry!" If there's one thing about Momma (Or Daddy, for that matter.)
she doesn't threaten lightly. Lori and I were moving before Momma finished
her threat, shedding clothes as we went. By the time Momma made her slower
way into my little sister's bedroom, we were both naked as jaybirds, and
sitting on the bed waiting. Momma STILL looked annoyed.
"Well, what are you two waiting for?" she asked. "I told you Steve, fuck
your sister. What's the matter, do I have to put it in for you?" she asked
sarcastically. "But Momma," wailed Lori, "we don't have any condoms! That's
why we were just feeling around." Momma looked as if she were going to blow
her top. "Not in MY house, you don't," she exploded. "As I said before, if
you're gong to fuck, you're going to do it right. Now get started, or get
out!" Momma looked as if she meant it. Well, at 15, I sure wasn't ready to
leave home, and if I wasn't, my little 10 year old sister wasn't either. We
looked at each other and shrugged. Well, if that was what Momma wanted,
that's what she would get. If my little sister had a baby, well Momma asked
for it. Somehow I knew that Momma would be overjoyed, if Lori showed up
with a big belly. Lori lay on her back; and I put my cock inside her. Yeah,
just like that. No foreplay, no sucking cock, no twiddling her twat. Just
up and stick it in. After all, that was what Momma wanted, wasn't it?
Besides, we had gotten hot and slippery enough, before Momma caught us.
That, and the thought of actually fucking my littl
Declaring yourself to be an international treasure has to match just about any feat of ego from any celebrity. Naturally, such a declaration will suck in support from hordes of wanna-bes that have their identity tied up in some software, so it will be quite popular. But it's still pretty laughable.

ask yourself this question: have you ever went underground to visit the vile world of rotting feces steeped in urine and the roaches and other sick bugs that dwell in this strange underground world? This could make a great place for vacations. Imagine receiving postcards with pictures of festering crap in the background. Wish you were here! I think if everyone visited the depths of the sewer systems in groups, we could safely come back to the top and breathe easier knowing there's so many little creatures dining on precious feces.
Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard the part about the "2000 minor pieces". I'd like to know how the Guardian defined "major" and "minor" before I would agree that there was a significant loss.
"And this is my boy, Sherman. Speak, Sherman." "Hello." "Good boy."
Net-enabled society goes too fast for old-school rules to keep up.
All throughout history, the name of the game has always been to keep the young punks down and hoard the fertile females in an "old boy accomodation" system that works out to the satisfaction of the meanest sonofabitch. Until it becomes their time (after the old farts start to lose it, the young progenies push their luck), the great thunder and lightning are threatened.
