Linus Sighted At LCA2004

Linus is at location X!
This is news folks, make no doubt about it.
Elvis has left the building.
He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy..
blah blah blah

A walking penguin is a far bigger sight.
Havoc of Red Hat/Gnome/freedesktop/ex-Debian fame will be there too delivering the keynote AFAIK. He has some interesting things to say, so people listen up. :)
Even the smilies are upside down in Australia
I must save my pennies (sorry, in Australia - 5cent pieces) so I can grab a plane ticket to go to one of these Linux Conferences, maybe next year!
Would dearly love to see what goes on at one of these events! and maybe even get to meet the man himself, Linus heh..

its a "commonwealth." Australia is still the Queen's bitch.
A decayed and rotten Elvis was seen attempting to enter the same conference without a pass. When questioned by security staff, the King was reportedy upset that such a "square" could become such a celebrity. "What is the world ocming to? Where are my fans?" He reportedly sobbed and he was led away by Australian police officers.

Yes, i seen him too. He is running SuSE linux 9.0 on a Sony VAIO laptop. Me too. He is working on some patches for Kerenel 2.4.25 when I seen him. There are a lot of people here, with all sorts of computers and laptops. Some running Windows, Some running BSD, some even running Mac OS 9, but I didn't see OSX.
This place is great. I will update you with more details over the next few days here at LCA2004.
Nero-burning ROM for Linux!
Where do you think http://www.linux.org.au/org/penguin.phtml
I hate to break it to you but the Queen counts for shit all. Just a rubber stamper (and her representative choosen by the Government actually does the 'work'). You must be American.
Will the man himself be making any announcements? Any expo keynotes? Will Russel Crowe challenge him to 12 rounds on Lin-Doom III Chortle, there goes my frigging Karma
"If you want to see him, maybe you guys should come down to South Australia and register for linux.conf.au 2004."
What about the gals? Surely linux.conf.au 2004 is a chick magnet, ain't it?
Solid proof that Australia truly is The Lucky Country.

I thought it's because of all the topless sheila's on the beaches
That right now the entire planet is between me and Linus, as I am in Belgium...

Charles Schultz is dead dammit! Unless you caught a reprint, there's no way you could've seen Linus!
And what the fuck does this have to do with penguins?
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
as trolls go, that one is pretty funny
Sure, and plane tickets from europe to australia cost virtually nothing, and the plane trip is short. :)
"Yes, yes!" the King of Hyrule called out, noticing his daughter appear in the doorway of his great hall. "Come here, Zelda!"
The princess of his kingdom, a young girl at the tender age of eight, came striding gracefully down the carpeted passage, beaming broadly at the excitement of being called before her father. "What do you want, daddy?" she asked angelically, bounding jubilantly back and forth on her heels.
"Actually, I'm a bit worried about you, my dear." the monarch said in a suddenly serious tone. "You've been hanging out with that Kokiri boy a lot lately. I need to make sure he's not doing anything improper with you, so if you'll please take off your panties and pull your skirt up..."
"But..." Zelda whispered, her cheeks flaring brightly. "I'll be naked... they'll see my privates!" She glanced around worriedly, noticing the many guards around her. None of the, though, seemed to care about seeing a bashful kid revealing her vagina, even though some in the land would pay a golden rupee to see the princess unclothed.
"Oh, there's no shame in letting anyone see something so beautiful!" the King replied, his tone obviously out of place for someone supposed to watch and protect their offspring. "Now, just slide them off quick..."
Zelda began undressing before he could finish, mortified, but not knowing what else to do. Her pink slippers came off in a flash, showing a determination to get this over with as quickly as possible. With agile movements, the princess managed to pull the violet tabard over her head without disrupting her carefully folded headgear. Then, after pausing a moment to draw enough courage to continue, she slipped her hands underneath the fluffy pink dress and pulled down her underwear before hiking the hem up past her waist.
Her pussy was on glorious display at last, quivering somewhat in the cool air. Zelda felt as if she'd rather let the dark man Ganon see her like this instead of someone so familiar, but still her father imposed.
"Come closer, please..." His Majesty commanded, beckoning her with a quaking voice. "Let me get a good look."
"Daddy, I'm embarrassed!" she with strong chagrin, walking slowly until he grabbed her bare legs and effortlessly hoisted her up on his lap. Zelda let out a yelp of astonishment, but nothing else.
"Don't be!" the aging ruler said comfortingly, looking directly at her big, blue eyes for the first time. "There's nothing wrong with listening to your father!" Still a little unsure, Zelda tried not to watch as he pulled her robe up again, but curiosity forced a peek anyway.
"Perfectly pure." he remarked impressedly. "Not a hair to be found, you're just as fresh as when you were born! And..." he paused, extending two fingers to spread her fat lips apart, forcing a surprised gasp from the exposed child. "Still intact as well. You must be so
proud to finally be old enough!"
"Old enough for what?" she asked quizzically, bouncing up momentarily as her sire shifted in his chair.
"To succeed your late mother as my Queen!" the doddering figure announced happily, not noticing his little girl's lack of excitement.
"We merely need to consummate in order to make the bond complete."
"Come... soon?" Zelda asked innocently, sensually juxtaposition the words. "What does that mean?"
"Well..." the jubilant sovereign began, his smile growing wide as possible. "It means I have to put THIS..." he made a swipe of his hand, and a large fleshy rod emerged from his lap. "Into THAT!" With another flick, he pointed his penis towards her tiny slit, nearly erupting all over her unused crack on the spot
"But I'm too small!" the diminutive youngster pointed out, spreading her legs unconsciously to prove it. "You'll never be able to put that inside me!" The bulging head did indeed dwarf her kiddy hole, but it did not appear to concern the royal male one bit.
"Worry not, my child!" His Highness said, cheerfully irresponsible. He lifted her small frame easily, positioni

He is right, you know. This "story" is teh gay.
...I can be sighted at LCA2004 :)
Trying to grasp at his thoughts, Raynor broke away. "What in hells are you doin' woman?"
Kerrigan looked put out. "I'm trying to fuck you, what does it look like?!"
He hadn't expected it to be this easy. A token protest, a token fight, and they were naked. And gods, did Kerrigan like to play the Dom. He didn't even object to his hands being tied while she played with him.
And play she did... His nipples were licked, sucked and bitten til he thought they'd bleed, his stomach was teased with the tips of her breasts, half tickling, half seducing, and then, she'd gone to work on his cock. Pretty soon, Raynor realised she wanted him to beg. He'd tried not to laugh at the realisation, after all, he could wait, or so he'd thought. Instead, he'd found himself begging after the third time she'd brought him to the edge and denied him release. Laughing, Kerrigan had freed his hands and responded; "Only after you please me."
She'd laid down on the bed with an expectant look in her alien eyes, and for a moment Raynor was overwhelmed with Xenophobia. That was until her eyes seemed to shift, and the softest whisper danced across his mind.
Jimmy...
Raynor shook himself mentally. If he did this right... With his own wicked grin, he set to work, laving her face with kisses, before working slowly down her neck, his tongue flickering against her skin, half-tease, half-tickle. Kerrigan gasped. Her senses heightened during her transformation, Raynors touches were sparking deep desires, especially in the part of her soul she'd long assumed dead.
"More!"
Smiling against her skin, Raynor obliged, turning his attention to her nipples and repeating her attentions to his, nipping and sucking until she was about to scream, and then he dived lower, licking her stomach, even lower, parting her thighs.
"If I do this wrong you gotta tell me..." He muttered.
"Its still there Jim..." She replied, "I'm modified, thats all..."
As soon as his tongue found her over-sensitive clit, the scream that had been building broke free. Sex had never been like this with anyone, even Duran, and she thrashed on the bed, needing more, needing completion.
"Now, now Jim, NOW!"
He slid up the bed, reaching for her as she reached for him, and in that moment both forgot time, place, situation, and only focused on the sliding of his body with hers as he sheathed himself, groaning.
"God, Sarah..."
The pace quickened as the fires rose, but the dominant in Kerrigan soon rose, flipping the pair over so she could be on top, riding him hard to her own completion, and he followed soon after, cradling the fallen, saited Queen of Blades against his chest.

Let me tell you, it's great to have guys like Miguel and Nat at conferences. They're natural crowd-pullers, and unlike most geeks who like to avoid contact with humans as much as possible, these guys are very crowd-friendly, willing to take extra time out to answer people's questions, etc. People who were at the conference can tell you how these two monkeys sold Mono to the crowd--effortlessly and in style

Linus sighted?
This puts Linus right up there with the Yeti, UFO's and Elvis.
I saw Linus buying hair shampoo at the local 7/11!!!
It's true. Australia is a racist nation. 77% of aussies are racist.
Check this out:
Many of you would probably remember the coroner's inquest earlier this year into the death of Puongtong Simaplee, a young Thai woman smuggled into sexual slavery in Australia at the age of twenty. She was picked up by the Department of Immigration, sent to Villawood detention centre. She died there of heroin withdrawal symptoms (there was no adequate medical care - she was not even put on a drip), complicated by pneumonia and malnutrition, after vomiting for three days. She was 27 at the time of her death.
Then check out that dude's record...
What a pathetic prick.
All you Linux geeks, don't forget that on Friday and Saturday is the annual Schutzenfest! Head west along the River Torrens to Bonython Park (or alternatively, along North Terrace and Port Road... you'll know you're on the right track as the concentration of drunk people increases =]
For those of you who don't know, schutzenfest is german for "shooting festival". The one held in Adelaide each summer is the largest in the southern hemisphere. Though of course, being aussies, we've turned it into a mostly piss drinking festival, hence why a lot of people (like me) say they're going to get 'shitzenfaced'. Either way, it's a bloody great time... plenty of german culture and food and beer for all!
Hopefully it'll be stinking hot again - you can get smashed really quickly because you'll be sweating so much and you gotta drink that huge stein of beer before it warms up!
I was going to volunteer at the conference on Saturday, but then I remembered Schutzenfest was on. Beer and babes: 1 Linux: 0. Though of course, if I happen to see Linus I'll shout him a round, as I'd expect everyone else would.
=D
...or is Linus looking more and more like a ferret
every year.
I mean, I like the man, but he's gotta get a
personal stylist or something.
(Private Adelaide joke) Wow, as an Adelaidian I can confidently say this Slashdot article is the most exposure our little town has had since Melbourne stole our Grand Prix.

When I first read this on the Ars-Technica web
page, I read: "Linus expected to see small, young,
hotter and bluer chicks."
Boy was I bummed when I realised they were talkin
about astronomy!

those crabby sheilas down under! Watch where
you stick it, okay, baby.

From Ars-Technica:
Nothing beats starting a new week with a fresh edition of Science Sunday. In this week's edition, we bring you up to date on the Mars exploration while taking a look beyond the reaches of the Solar System:
A survey using the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii has shown that large mature galaxies formed quite early. When astronomers looked at a period 3 billion to 6 billion years after the big bang, they found a lot of massive old galaxies where they expected to see small, young, hotter and bluer galaxies. A press release from the National Science Foundation points out that this and other recent discoveries may challenge the theory of cold dark matter. One thing is for sure, astronomers and physicists have a lot of new data to chew on.

OMG, news for nerds it may be but Stuff that Matters it is not.
Indeed Linus is here, as well as Bdale and others. We got together for a meal at one of Adelaide's fine resturants. Lots of great conversations were had, the ususal stuff. Discussions of dumb vendors, brilliant past innovations and at other end of the table invisible Rabbits were mentioned. See the usual stuff... An image for you gratification... The really interesting thing is that this is being posted from a pub on Rundle street via free wifi! Ahhh yes, this Linux.conf will be good. Oh and it's the Second year in a row that Linus has attended, not the third... But where is Hemos ???
He's Linus, after all, the man vmlinuz and linux are named after. On your knees, sir.
fuddite corepirate nazi time machine, also?
for the same reasons they are questioning the reasoning for their participation in the moon/bars/bars shot with the won-eyed girl, plus:
they wonder why anybody would travel to the future to steal the pateNTdead next big thing for the nazis, so it could be used to keep them (the aliens) in the same state (no state) as they've been for a tousand +- years already? not to mention, they were initially tolled they would be travelling to the past to undo the life0cidal damage still being done buy the megalomaniacal felonious wons/walking dead.

Bikie warning at nightclubs
The warning follows several incidents in the city after midnight on Friday night when a busload of up to 50 Finks motorcycle club members bombarded venues, assaulting staff and refusing to pay for drinks.
Boring ? Just got to know where to go.
An eyewitness, who refused to be named, told the Sunday Mail the Finks first went to Heaven nightclub on West Tce, then to Cargo in Hindley St, Traffic in North Tce, and The Garage, in Waymouth St - where a violent brawl involving the Finks occurred in October.
The bar manager who suffered serious facial and head injuries in that incident was again punched in the face early yesterday, resulting in stitches to his mouth.
Was introduced to this guy a week ago, and he bought me a drink. He is a good guy. Hope he gets better soon.
The Internet's nature is peer to peer - 20050301_cs_profs.pdf
Spotted him at a gas station in Santa Clara when we both worked in that town. Was pulling away when I saw him. My thought process was as follows:
"That guy looks familiar."
"Hey, that's Linus!"
(about 1.3 seconds of staring in disbelief later)
"Hey, I'm about to run over a gas pump!"
(heavy braking, Linus glances at me quizzically)
So yeah, Linus, if you see this, that was me in the white Grand Am that day.
