As a new parent myself I would not stand for my son pulling such a stunt. It would not illicit respect and admiration from me.
On the other hand if he wrote a paper or letter to the editor protesting the Homecoming King/Queen status quo I would applaud him and stand behind his personal conviction.
To pull cheap stunts is wimpy. It was ignoble to play along only to drop out at the last (possible) moment.
Don't pull a stunt, take a stand.

After reading through the questions and answers, am I the only one who gets the odd feeling that the candidates -- but the Shrub especially -- has no sense (at least from their answers) that they're writing for Slashdot's audience?
Don't confuse cosistency with ignorance. I was impressed that Bush's answers did not differ when addressing this particular (and peculiar) audience. His answers were straight.
I guess after so many years of auto-morphing candidate(s) such consistency appears strange.
Whether we agree or disagree with the positions, isn't it nice to know what the candidate's position is?

What about RollingStone-Cover-Gate and Esquire-Cover-Gate? Two of the funniest things I've ever seen: presidential crotch shots. Hillarious!
What about chameleon-gate: the auto-morphing Gore during the 3 debates (would the real Gore please stand up?).
What about Nader's statement that if Gore can not beat the bumbling Gov from Texas on his own, why should Nader help him? Should be a slam dunk. "Is he entitled to these votes?" Funny.
What about the sloppy kiss at the end of the Democratic convention? Icky.
What about "I've been known to mangle a few syl-LA
-bles...," which Bush the Second used so self-depreciatingly (and effectively)?
What about the fact that the incumbent president who has overseen a fantastically strong economy during his 8 years being completely shunned by the Vice President? Who woulda thunk it? Ironic...
How about the Vice President picking the aforementioned incumbent's most vociferous intra-party critic as his own running mate? "In your face, Bill!" Funny.
I don't know--I've had quite a number of laughs this political season. But, I guess it depends on one's affinity to the laughing stock candidacy...

I've been running the beta of Win4Lin at home using my Mandrake 7.0 setup. I have a retail edition of Win98SE that is running beautifully at home.
Now, Restart-ing is fun!
Moreover, my company will begin to use this for our web app development--we are Linux freaks with Windows customers and target our intranet products to IE5.5. Using Win4Lin makes it easy to live in Linux and check out results in IE5.5 for Windows.
Thanks for the recommendation!

I wonder if this could be the beginning of Microsoft being forced to open its code to major customers (at least)--those that will demand the code for independent review (say, Fortune 500 companies and major governments).
Along this line I am reminded me of controversial tactics used in the homosexual community to "out" prominent persons publically against their will.
Is it time to start a Planet Open? A movement to force companies to "open" their wares against their will?
Such a thing would be illegal--and participating would make one liable to Mitnick-type incarceration (or worse!).
But, it this inevitable?

By "free" I mean as in "lunch" (you can drink yours if you want; I'll have a sandwich). My clients do not need a "free" as in "-dom" browser. They have no interest in open vs. closed. Heck, they're interested in getting their job done, regardless of the politics of the developer.
That does not mean I have no need of a "free" as in "born -" OS or development tools. AAMoF I only use "free" as in "- expression" OSes for my backend and middleware servers and for my development tools. Well, mostly (we have a legacy application that uses Acucobol and that's bound and pricey). Anyway, as a developer I respect freedom. As a service provider I hate licensing fees (maintaining and paying). But as users, my clients want a low-cost, reliable solution. That means IE 5 to run our mason/mod_perl/apache application.
So there.

I'm so glad this has been brought to our attention. This problem (the proper use of or avoidance of hyphens in coined words) sorely needs a solution! We must dedicate our anal and pedantic efforts to fix such crises.
Once we've solved this problem we can move on to alot versus a lot and perhaps decide if its a sofa or a couch. Is it Chicken-fried Steak or Southern Fried Steak? It's or its? Then/than?
The world is waiting. They are depending on us--heck, they've handed the whole responsibility of this nightmare to the Nerds of the Net, opting to focus on simple problems like Israeli-Palestinian conflict, opening up of North Korea, the largest Ebola outbreak to date, genetically-engineered corn reaching human food markets and other trivial minutia.

JW Systems Outperforms Imperial Systems in NCMag Benchmarks PR News, Jan 12, 2011
NC Mag (NanoComputer Magazine) names JW Systems' new grain-based nanocomputer system as the winner of the latest SystemSpeed benchmark contest. JW Systems new Red-class servers outperformed its nearest cane-based competitor by more than 400%.
Imperial Systems, maker of the cubeLast year's leading cane-based system, the Cube, called the tests "unfair" and "biased". However, industry experts had expected these results since the original whitepaper by JW Systems (formerly, Johnny Walker, Inc.) that began the rush to develop the processed-grain-based technology.
Analyst Dave Wyggert explained, "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."
JW Systems expects to beat earning expectations this quarter. Also, the company announced a developer's preview of its new Black class of enterprise servers on February 19, 2011. JW Systems was up 3 points in after hours trading; Imperial Systems dropped 3.765 on the sour note.

So if you designed the next utterly popular hardware/software that raked in millions, would you still have it open sourced?
When it happens, we'll see. What I do know is that I will not base the future of my company on closed-source technology. If not *PL, then at least source code license.
I don't care if my word processor is Open, but servers and middleware components are Open/Free and have been since 1997.
Besides, when I do develop a killer app I will release it for a simple reason: doing so makes it better.

Why? Because my clients need a rock-soild, easy to use, fast, compliant, stable, free browser for our Internet/Intranet applications. That's IE 5.
Until then I will need to run Windows to test my development work. If Wine really runs IE5--then I'm done with dual boot/VMWare/etc. kludges.
