Of course this is an April Fool's joke. Why?
1) His email adress is SOB 2) It's dated April 1st 3) It's absurd and impossible 4) Harvard, come on... Everyone knows that's a school for idiots who couldn't get into CalTech. They couldn't cook something like this up. 5) Restatement of Torts (1934) does not allow (even in its most obtuse interpretation) this type of punitive measure. 6) HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS SOB@HARVARD!

I used to do research for a major computer company, and we were studying the image quality of LCDs vs. CRTs. We found (mind you this was two years ago) that CRTs are substantially better. There are various reasons for this, mostly because of the color properties of LCDs. Either way, I doubt that LCDs have caught up, or surpassed the image quality of a good CRT display.
Thus, if there is still a market for high quality displays, I doubt CRTs will be phased out anytime soon.
argh, why must everyone in the government/news agencies/popular media/academy relate EVERY issue to terrorism? I'm sorry, but the idea that this has ANYTHING to do with terrorism is like saying that petitioning could be used for terrorism. Pretty soon anything that goes against businesses/government/assholes will be a "terrorist act". Wake UP America, there are other things to worry about (e.g. The increasing nat'l debt, growing inequalities between rich and poor, shitty public schools, RIAA, pissing off the world community, deregulation of the media, NO FRIGGIN' JOBS, tanking economony). Damn man, talk about WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION!
I have this OLD windows laptop, and I never thought I could get something this good on it. In my EVER-SO-HUMBLE opinion, AbiWord is the best of the open-source wordprocessors.
If anyone ever put an experation date on open source code, they should be knocked upside the head with a blunt object. The onus is on the sysadmin, not the friggin' coder. The leason in this is: don't be an overzealous twit. People can't be that stupid, especially if they are using open source stuff;-).

I would keep linux for my servers but switch to OS X
in a heartbeat for my desktop.
I recently went to look at Mac Boxen to see if I would be worth switching... NOT FOR 2000 BUCKS, WHEN MY MACHINE IS JUST AS FAST AND COSTED 1100.
I love Linux, but OS X is drop dead gorgeous.

I hate to be the dorky Philosophy nerd, but this article commits quite a bit of fallacious reasoning... Quaternio Terminorum. Equivocation is a bitch.

nobody had to rip one at my movie theater... 50+ people started laughing based on the scene alone.

Now I finally have a reason to go buy a GBA.
Damn, wish I had $6M, I'd really love to turn it into an RV for a cross country trip.
