Dear Bob,
Considering that Microsoft seems primed for a takedown and the world is ready and waiting for a paradigm shift, why doesn't someone make it a prime priority to make linux easier to use and install for the masses?? *One* desktop paradigm a no-brainer install and network set-up and bundled and installed with the 3 killer apps that the lay-people seem to want (ie. word processer, spreadsheet, simple database).
Seems to me that Microsoft is marketing increasingly with the corporate world in mind - someone needs to marlet "an operating system for the people".
Why not you?
National Foundation for Cancer Research - Shady?!

FYI: A Few dubious links to the "the National Foundation for Cancer Research" - they don't generally get high marks by independent organizations designed to oversee "charitable" orginazations. In most cases the National Foundation for Cancer Research refused to answer watchdog requests for information.
Check it out for yourselves:
Here an interesting link and a quote from that link, "Among recent flops, according to the spring edition of the NCIB Wise Giving Guide, are the American Institute for Cancer Research, the National Foundation for Cancer Research and the U.S. Committee for UNICEF."

It must be true- I saw it on the Internet!
In the midst of a growing government PR campaign to demonize those with a bit of knowledge and to reduce the abilities of the rest of us to access information (all in the name of protecting our children from porn of course) comes this wonderful piece of fluff from MSNBC.
I mean if you can't trust the combined corporate integreties of Microsoft and General Electric corporation well then - I mean who can you trust?
Bob Sullivan, the article's author, is a corporate tool who has brought us such notable articles as: "Now, e-mail is even more dangerous", "'Melissa' Continues To Wreak Havoc" and (who could forget) "Surgeon general of the Web? - The eruption of a new virus leads to confusion"
Can you say agenda? I knew that you could?
The article about the alledged hackers smells worse then a Unix geek on a three day coding binge - I don't believe a bit of it. Wonderful piece of fiction though.

Ha! I can top that
I (re)discovered the Hertz/Einstein photoelectric Effect in first year physics class at the U of P in '76 (nope this is not a troll )
We were doing some lame lab involving spectroscopy and he/ne tubes in boxes. We had to record the voltage on the tube as part of the error in the experiment. Except I noticed that that when the box that the tube was in was open it took a little less voltage to make it glow then when the box was closed.
So I call over my physics prof and showed him what was going on but he tells me to just get with the lab and stop fussing over things like that.
I didn't understand the significance until next semester when we learned about the quantum effects and relativity --Dooh!
The bad news is that I eventually flunked out of college.... the good news is that I make a chunk of change doing software and drive a Vette....still though...I should go back one day...I suppose...
