It's nice to see that Linus is getting a bit more riled up about SCO now that SCO has started taking personal potshots at him. In a recent interview:
"I care deeply about IP (intellectual property) rights. I've
personally got more IP rights than the average bear, and as the owner of the copyright in the collective of the Linux kernel, I shepherd even more. It's what I do, every day. I personally manage more valuable IP rights than SCO has ever held, and I take it damn seriously," Torvalds said in an e-mail interview.

I live in Texas, (we don't have school shootings, too many teachers would return fire) but school administrator knows that i carry 3 knifes of varying size on me at all times, and knows that if something gets violent it will be students like me, not the cops that will be the first to put it down.

For those of you who didn't catch Slashdot's recent interview with IT journo Dan Gillmor, it contained what I consider to be a very insightful comment:
"It's definitely cheaper to send work offshore, and it's also getting easier. Whether it's sufficiently easy -- or ultimately all that cheap when companies account for the hassles -- is unclear for the moment, though the long-range trend is not good for the U.S.
The cultural differences, not to mention time zones, are always going to be something of a barrier. I've spoken with folks who have tried to manage international engineering projects, and they tell me it can be hugely difficult.
But the communication/collaboration tools are getting much better. English is becoming a default language of business and technology. And as people outside the U.S. get better technical educations -- even as America keeps killing its own educational system -- we're going to see more and more competition from abroad. "
Exactly. "The Empire Strikes Back" is the only one of the Star Wars movies which was not written by George Lucas. Screenplay credits go to Lawrence Kasdan and Leigh Brackett (although Brackett's name deserves to be written in mile-high flaming letters).
The one SW movie which doesn't suck, and the one movie that Lucas didn't write.
So what? Gabe Newell is a MS exec from way back. Where do you think he got the money to start Valve, and pay everyone's paychecks out of his own bank account until Half-Life was released?
From memory, a cat's fur markings are to a large degree determined in utero rather than determined genetically. Variations in the fetus's position, and in the shape and pressure of the placenta are what determine the final look of the cat's fur.
As I understand it, the cat's genes determine the palette, but physical influences determine the actual pattern.

Slashdot Mirror
if he has the knowledge to determine it is insecure, and knows basic crypto (which by the quote he must claim he does)
Are you telling me that you're trying to contribute something to a crypto-oriented discussion, and you don't know who PETER fucking GUTMANN is?
Register a domain with Verisign, and put your target address as a contact for that domain.
IBM doesn't do things half-assed.
My one-word rebuttal: DESKSTAR.
JESUS, this is the most virulent worm I've ever seen! I personally know ten people who have been infected this morning alone.

If there was ever a game that was worth FAR MORE than what I paid for it, it's Wind Waker. That game is a work of art.
Hey, sometimes it works out better for everyone.
Just look at Daikatana!
Don't you mean ESR The Absurdly Rich?

Nice
I have had the belief for some time now that a genre that may surface in the future will be a mixture of 3D shooter and graphic adventure
Metroid Prime on GameCube.
If that AC is in Michigan, he just broke the law. Someone call 911.
God. Bless. America.

Can someone explain how a film with English dialogue can have English subtitles?
Or how a 16:9 widescreen-format movie can require subtitles in the body of the movie instead of BELOW it?
I think it's a hoax.
On a side note, I still beleive the best Atari game for the 2600 is Combat.
Amen, brother.

Great, just what the USA needs. An egomaniac control-freak prone to temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way.
No, I think the US should just stick with Dick Cheney.
