LWCE Wrapup

An anonymous reader writes "Extremetech.com reports that: 'Computer scientists from think tank SRI will present a novel take on distributed computing at LinuxWorld, all in a search for a little lost penguin.' For more information on Centibots, head over to the Centibots Project homepage." ReadthePaper writes "I just read a great interview with Jon "Maddog" Hall of Linux International." And finally, Hawkxor writes "Sun Microsystems VP Jonathon Schwartz demoed Sun's new desktop-oriented Linux distro 'Mad Hatter' and 3-D Desktop Environment 'Looking Glass' at LinuxWorld. Sounds pretty cool."

    Don't break a sweat. Since americans have been proven to be of an inferior intellect, we have recalled sleeping subversive cells. America will soon be bombed out of existence, to ensure the building of a new free world.

    Why bother with IP infringing Linux?

    As the US government continues its violent surge to the extreme right, no court will take the side of freedom when there is a buck to be made (by the people who already have the bucks) or a freedom to be destroyed (among the few remaining freedoms the lower classes still have).

    Any Judge attempting to reestablish the concept of fair use will be ostracized by the political hierarchy. It would be the death of their career.

    We have news for all you Linux people--Clinton is gone. The bums lost. We'd tell you to get a job, but since you refuse to conform and bow to your master you are useless as a slave and therefore have no value to the corporate oligarchy.

    You will die lonely and afraid. Your females, your sisters and daughters (assuming you had even one), will be made whores once they have aged to the point when they are no longer desirable to us. We will sell them to immigrants and foreign powers, they will bear illegitimate bastard children and we will control them, too. We will take great satisfaction in this.

    No more government handouts or unnecessary freedoms. Darwin was right, the strong dominate the weak and become stronger in the process. This is not a theory to us, it is a moral imperative, our mantra, that we dominate and control you. It is the path of history, it is your fate.

    Microsoft is going to be on your computer and you will pay for and install the upgrades we demand or you can live in the wilderness with the other beasts. Should that be your choice, our controllers and catchers will hunt you down and render great justice upon you.

    We will make you disappear, your ideals and beliefs relegated to the smallest footnote over time, eventually forgotten, while the glory of unhindered wealth, power and strength will shine as a beacon long into the future.

    Accept this and die your well-deserved death, Linux fools. Everything you have will be taken to make us more powerful...it is our way and your destiny.
