chromatic writes "One of the highlights of every OSCON is Larry Wall's annual State of the Onion address, covering Perl, philosophy, linguistics, music, theology, science, and usually a few other things thrown in for good measure. His talk from OSCON 2003, State of the Onion 7, is now online."

    It's not hard to keep adverts off the internet! Just install squid proxy server {the best place to put it is on your firewall machine}, and block out doubleclick.*, fastclick.net, servedby.advertising.com and any other site that chucks banners and/or cookies at you. If you're very, very nice to your ISP {or you work for your ISP and have all their root passwords}, they might even do this for you on one of their servers.

    I never asked my color blind roommate to make sure the cloths I picked look all right. On the other hand, he always insited on doing the driving when we needed to go somewhere at night.
