As the battle between the music industry and Peer-To-Peer nears an end, the major record labels are preparing to launch a new offensive aimed at wiping out sneaker-net, loud stereos, and people humming.
"Just yesterday while I was driving my new bmw to the country club, I stopped at a red light. While I was sitting at the light I heard the low bass rumbling of what sounded like music! and this morning I swear I heard my children's nanny humming "Always Look on the Brighter Side of Life", I don't even have a licenses to listen to that song and here that nanny was giving it away for free!"

My wife saw lines backed out into the street for gas that cost $5 a gallon. She knew I was almost out of gas so she called me and I went to fill up. I waited in line for twenty minutes and paid $1.81, which is only about 30 cents higher then normal, however I do not work in the city.
While waiting in line I heard on the news that some people had report gas prices as high as $6 to $7 dollars a gallon. There were a few minor car accidents because of the lines backed out into the streets, in some cases for a few blocks, just to get gas. A local reporter had been told by the owner of a local gas station that he had received a call stating that they would quit production of gas tomorrow. A lot of gas stations in the area have ran out of gas (even those selling at $5 a gallon).
The governor came on the air around 2~3pm (I cannot remember) and stated that since we were not in a state of emergency at the time, the stations were not breaking the law, however people should quit buying at stations that are jacking the prices up and there were hotlines setup to report what stations those were. The oil companies denied saying that production would cease, most people think that was just an excuse on the part of the gas stations owners to jack up the price. By the time I went home (5:50pm), most of the prices I saw where only 30 to 50 cents higher then normal, with the highest prices being at $2 dollars a gallon. The more respectable gas stations were the least affected, every 7-11 that I saw tonight (at least eight or nine) had completely taken their prices off of the sign.
It uses RPMS and ends with.0, what more do we need to know? I don't trust it, it'll probably load a vga message into lilo and screw the crap out of the mda video card in my server.
"Years back electronics companies used to give a schematic with their product, yet those items still game with a warranty."
Their products, meaning products that they themselves produced, designed, etc. and that they sold for a profit.
The software that comes in the RedHat dist is NOT their software and in many cases they don't sell it, they provide bandwith for us to download it for free, so I understand them not wanting to warranty it.

I would have read the site, but when I went there a window opened saying that my internet connect was not optimized. I tried to close it then it took me somewhere else and I got lost. Now there is a picture of Brittany Spears as my wall paper, how do I change it before my wife gets home? Does someone have a pulse phone so that I can call to enroll?
"Ritz, a divorced former radio and recording engineer, pursues his campaign against Internet abuse out of a cluttered Milwaukee suburban apartment equipped with an ordinary dial-up Internet connection for his desktop computer. He sends out a constant stream of messages to dozens of freelance spam-cancelers and thousands of network administrators."
Am I the only one that finds this funny? Ritz sends out a constant stream of messages to thousands of people from his dail-up connection. I hope he has a static IP so someone can put him on MAPS.
As my father said:
"China had to pay Clinton for our military secrets. Bush just sends a plane over with them for free."
(just to clearify, he doesn't support Clinton)

"In this sense, open source software based on the GPL mirrors the .com business models that proved the least successful during the past year."
Does this mean that there are going to be banner ads in the 2.6 kernel?
