  1. Headline: DoCoMo Worm is Godzilla! Crushes Tokyo. on Japanese I-Mode Phones Under Attack · · Score: 1

    This little worm doesn't bother me at all. I know the email addresses of the girls that have my DoCoMo address. But there is such a large and suprising amount of spam on these phones... I get at least 10 new pieces of junk mail that I CAN'T EVEN READ. Its blasphemous. But it's worth it for the color iMode browsing, the cheezy whack-a-mole game, and the fact that its smaller than a StarTec, has a cool flashing light mini-LCD display on the face (when closed), and I can get a blinkenlicht antennae! And it vibrates good. Mmmmm. But I didn't know it uses Outlook. Any tips on installing slack on it? :D

  2. GPL is confusing. on The GPL: A Technology Of Trust · · Score: 1

    Its great that the OSS and FSF movements are getting behind the GPL (God, I feel like I just came out of boot with all those acronyms... "AE2 I need to get to PSD ASAP 'cuz I ain't got an LES since RTC!") presenting a united front towards MicroSoft and all those other generally bad folks cannot be mistaken as a bad thing. But I'm extremely confused by the GPL. Thus, from reading it about e^189 times, I have come up with these thoughts:

    Whomever wrote the GPL must be some form of primitive AI (a la MadLibs, so from now, we shall refer to the aforementioned "Whomever" as "MadLibs"). You input the words you want to include and it creates a liscense. Ohh... purdy.

    The program, MadLibs, is producing semi-erroneous output. Obviously its grammar checking modules must have some bugs. It also doesn't seem to screen for bad user input.

    MadLibs, since it is used by the GPL, must have used some GPL'd libs or at least something like gcc. Thus, through some time of wierd time-warp redundancy, it is victim (sorry, I couldn't think of a better word) to its own measures!

    And to the grand finale...

    We, as the OSS/GPL/FSF community, should have complete access to the MadLibs source, so that the GPL can truly be at least understood completely and without question by more than maybe, 6 people. And thus, the world is a happier place. Oh yeah, and somewhere in there, Bill Gates is rendered blind, half-witted, and impotent (like his software).

    No need to thank me, just doing my job.
