Money Talks, Open Source Walks

Sandman wrote in to tell us that this morning Salon has released an article that talks about several Interesting Developments in the Open Source World resulting from the increase in money available to the movement. The most interesting comment is the bit about the colaberative effort between VA, Red Hat and LinuxCare on the new "LinuxSoft" company. Is there a Pink Floyd concert going on outside my window?

This April fools sh*t is getting out of hand. I had several friends of mine call last night to tell me about all of this cr*p. I had to slowly explain to them that it was April Fools day. I am getting sick of having to explain to the fools that it's just a joke. We should be careful here, some people just won't "get" it. Someone might actually fly off the "hook" on this stuff.

Okay,

you know, you're right. we should start by having the Onion shut down -- some people might take that seriously! after that we'll move towards illegalizing sarcasm; slashdot itself is a perfect example of how often people don't 'get it.' this will be part of a movement to remove the inefficient and harmful device known as 'humor' from the world altogether.
