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."
I found the problem: They haven't updated their viru--er, law enforcement definition files. That's why the average user should always have auto-update enabled. In other news... McAfee is clearly suffering from some kind of mental disorder beyond simply having homocidal issues, and it's probably due to drugs, maybe even bath salts. He's showing clear evidence of paranoid delusions and his blog posts seem increasingly detached from reality. The only reason he's been able to hold out this long is because he has a lot of money -- way more than the government trying to catch him. Money covers up a lot of intellectual deficits, but he can't stay ahead of them forever because he's a wounded animal; He doesn't have a full deck of cards anymore.

Um, because it's about a pretty important person in technology? It makes more sense to post about something major like this than whether Linus Torvalds likes GNOME or KDE.
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
The man hasn't been 'pretty important' or even relevant to technology in over a decade and even then the only relevance he had was in creating the world's worst AV software.
Seriously, it's true. Even better to be an actual girl. Poseurs like "Raven" Alder can cut and paste text from a cookie recipe and still get automagically upmodded to +5 every time.
As a female person I cannot help but feel that you have some petty, childish axe to grind. Did you steal it from Toys 'R' Us? I mean, I don't see my own comments automatically getting upvotes. Most of the time my comments don't get voted either way, and atleast I view that as a good thing; when you don't automatically get upvoted to +5 every time you post something you can actually consider your comment score as somewhat proper feedback.
