McAfee May Have Been Captured

netbuzz writes with a quick update about John McAfee on the run. From the article: "A blog being maintained for the past three weeks by antivirus pioneer John McAfee and others is claiming to have received "an unconfirmed report" that McAfee has been captured near the border of Belize and Mexico. However, authorities in Belize say that report is not true and that the whereabouts of McAfee, wanted for questioning as a 'person of interest' after the Nov. 11 murder of his neighbor, remain unknown."

      Back in high school one guy encountered the message "netscape.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down", and pondered "why would just going to a website be illegal?"

    He doesn't have a full deck of cards anymore.

    That's true, but if he can hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

    When Linus Torvaldes is arrested for shoving drugs up his asshole, I want slashdot to report it.

    They should have used 64 bits. Then McAfee wouldn't run.

    It's an excuse to take a very serious situation and to make security/software/virus puns about it.

    The Slashdot I used to visit was always like this.

    We should probably start a new website devoted specifically to tech-famous people shoving drugs up their rears. Assdot?

    ... he was using a Linux laptop with ReiserFS the time of the murder.

    Can we stop with the ReiserFS jokes already? The meme has been beaten to death.

    I think a basic, bug-free and fast desktop is exactly what Linux needs. A "best thing since sliced ham" kind of thing.

    Open source ham.

    You raise the pig yourself and your kids give it a name. You get very disturbed by the screams it makes when you kill it, and come back covered in blood. Afterwards you decide to become a vegetarian. Occasionally you buy a ham sandwich that doesn't scream or cover you in blood from the supermarket but don't enjoy it as much as you used to.
