More on Massachusetts' Push for Open Source
pbaumgar writes "With more than $32 billion in sales last year, Microsoft Corp. doesn't usually worry about losing one customer. But this one may be different. In a memo sent last month, Massachusetts Administration and Finance Secretary Eric Kriss instructed the state's chief technology officer to adopt a policy of 'open standards, open source' for all future spending on information technology." Follow-up to this story.

Suck it Trebek!
I just downloaded that shit off Kazaa. All I have to say is: WTF!!!
After 12 years, the Linux zealot's ancient 386 machine gives up up the ghost! The machine went through alot, going through DOS 5.0, 6.0, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Debian gnu/Linux. It even had a Geforce 4 on it using a AGP to ISA converter.
But now the machine was dead. So the Linux zealot decided to go to the local PC world to get a new machine.
He decided to get a Athlon 3500+ Packard Bell, when all of a sudden he heard a giant DUNNNNNNNNNN! And behind him, was the largest cheese greater in the world! Behind him was this fat bearded geek with an Apple logo on his chest. He was an Apple zealot. Suddenly Linux zealot had a weired feeling as a Giant Titatainum X appeared on a huge LCD display.
The titanium X span around a huge smiling blue face, while a cube appeared and rotated towards a desktop. The Apple Zealot started to talk about his Mac affection, and how he was going to buy a G5 to complete his collection, but the price, was almost 5,000 EUR, while the packard bell only costs 2000 EUR, and was noticbly faster. The spinning rainbow ball span for ages while it attempted to copy a 17 Mb mp3 file onto the zealot's iPOD. The Zealot said it was due to the fact that this machine was running the 68k version of OS X, and if you ran the G5 version it would only take two minutes, if that.
Anyway, he decided to "convert" the linux zealot, so he offered to give him one of his Imacs for free Since Linux zealot dosen't have much money (Flipping burgers to pay the bills of developing gnome software!), he agreed to get a free computer (that is, if you can actually call macs a "real" computer). So the Mac zealot told Linux zealot to meet him at his house later on that afternoon.
So at 5:30 pm, the Linux zealot arrived at the mac zealots house. He rung the bell, which made that annoying "DUNNNNNNNNNN" noise which macs make. The Apple zealot came to the door, and said, ahhh, you must be here for the imac.

Comment
David Blaine has emerged, emotional, drained and confused at the end of his 44-day self-imposed fast.
Stepping weakly out of his Perspex box, he stammered: "This has been one of the most experiences of my life."
His tortuous diet of just taco-snot saw him lose four-stone and the exertions, both physical and mental, had clearly taken their toll on him.
Struggling to overcome the manic screams from the crowds at Tower Bridge, and his own floods of tears, he said: "This has been one of the most important experiences of my life.
"I have learned more in that little box than I have in years. I learned how hard it is to have any senese of humour in life because nothing makes any sense anyway.
"I have learned how strong we all are as human beings, how strong we all are.
"But most importantly, I learned to appreciate all the simple things in life - a smile from a stranger or a loved one, the sunrise, the sunset.
"Everything that God has given us."
And repeating words that had been thrown at him by many during his experiment, he added: "I thank you so much. I love you all, I love you."
Shivering despite being wrapped in a blanket, he seemed agitated as paramedics on the scene carried out an initial series of tests.
They gave him oxygen and checked his heart rythym before taking him to a waiting ambulance an on to a hospital, thousands of fans waving him on.
The parent's reference is from a SNL joke picked up by some trolls on their hideout page called Geekizoid.
