...is this considered a post-worthy piece of news?Surely McBride will say countless other stupid things today. Must we have a post for those, too? We surely have enough reason at this point to have a weekly roundup of SCORN (SCO References/News)?
Seriously, save screen real estate for more interesting things (things with a point, dammit!), like, "Georgy Russell: What will she do now?"
For those who don't wish to read the article, please allow me to break it down for you:
Da pimp shows up and offers some free smack to da bitches, a few of whom don't want it. Most of da bitches take it, and da pimp says, "It's all good, yo! No strizzles attizzled!" Then, da bitches get hooked and become hoes, and start working for da pimp turning tricks. Da pimp just smiles and makes jokes only da pimp's cronies would ever find funny. Da Big Daddy Pimp says, "It must be da money!" and flashes dat bling bling all around.
This easy to understand break down was brought to you by a truckload of money, eMTV, and Bill Gates. Music provided by The Roots.
Although not explicitly stated by ESR in his letter, it would appear that he considers Darl McBride to be a "varmint" in the classic Warner Bros. cartoon sense.

FWIW, I think that ESR should stick to terms in common use, and should be gracious enough to fully justify anything he would put in the JF regardin so-called hacker culture.

Lots of people are going to be looking forward to your scoop on this (I among them). Good luck getting to the bottom of it, and hope your dinner wasn't spoilt by the news.
I really have to agree with the suggestion that you do it up in XML if possible. Maybe this would be a good open-source-style project others would be interested in helping with? If people were actually able to get context sensitive information out of EULAs, which could then be cross-referenced and compared, --- well, that would be sweet!
Well, one can certainly see the benefits of having a pacemaker hooked up to the Internet. For those with such heartbeat regulators, it's important to stay calm, nothing too exciting. With your pacemaker hooked up to the Internet, you could set your browser to limit the amount of Pr0n you see in any given period of time.
Probably a lot of you could benefit from having such an Internet-enable pacemaker installed.

Okay, so, the Computer Industry is like Earth Gov., right? And Micro$oft are like Psi Corp... or, no, are they the Shadows? This would make Babylon 5 itself like the Bazaar, right, and, um, maybe then Apple employees are Rangers... no, wait... I can figure this out... Is Jobs or Torvalds Ranger 1? And what about RMS??? Gah!!!
I've read both Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and will gladly attest to Murakami's talents. They were both very good books, well worth the reading. However, I should note that these are not (thankfully, to some degree) American or European books. Their denouements don't come along in the usual way or at a constant pace, and the stories themselves, much like the films Maborosi and Wandafuru raifu (English title: "After Life"), focus more on details and setting than moving a plot along. Not that this is a complaint; I quite enjoy such story telling.
Having not (yet) read the books reviewed here, I can't say anything about them. But I think the name Murakami, like that of Akira Kurosawa, warrants a look-see regardless.

Thank you very kindly. :-) If you enjoy any of those at least half as much as I do, you'll probably be glad to have them on your playlist.

Regarding our announcer: It's good to see that the Swedish Chef has gotten work since his Muppet days. (Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up.)
Seriously, though, I am overjoyed to see this. If all goes well over the next few months/years, it's only going to get more exciting.
Good luck to the venture and everyone involved with it.

So... I guess that

No, no, no... You misunderstood. The French said it will be the first worthwhile person to set foot on the moon.
Well, at least we can point to the fact that Lunatics have made it from there to here.

God, I saw this and thought it said "DUNG"! Of course, now that I know what it's about I still see DUNG.
