Actually this is worse: it runs Wolfenstein: ET too well! My addiction runs so high these days that I can barely get the time off to read/. any more (naturally not the linked articles themselves).
it's becoming increasingly common practice for MS to hire insiders to plug MS products and protocols... Moles have also been hired [... and] Finland
In Finland they hired the aide to the former prime minister -- probably due to his connections to the information society projects and people within the government. According to MS's official text he is to become a (surprise!) "Leader of Information Society Relations in Finland and the Baltic states" (rough translation, I found the text only in Finnish):

You can guess what kind of "information society" will be built by the Finnish state government from now on.
two towers because you don't like things that are rectangle-shaped.
We really need an i18n version of slashdot: it took me nearly a minute to figure out why are we dragging LOTR into this. Then I realised that LOTR's not the only thing which had two towers...
Linus probably hasn't been paying enough attention to and has neglected offering his firstborn to the Finnish Present-day God of Good Fortune (whom everyone seems to take for a Japanese company).
I think that the development
kernels should be named after Spanish cities to celebrate Linux' Spanish
origins. Linux Milano or Linux Rome anyone?
I think GWB should next look for WMDs in both Spain and Italy so that you gringos could get your geography straightened out for that part of the world, too.
I'll be shortly attending a studying seminar with a main theme revolving around hypertext and finding information, and their progress and development from "classics" into the modern World Wide Web.
The seminar homepage has currently only a few links, but they point to the classics, e.g., V. Bush's As we may think and some Xanadu stories. (Seminar homepage text is in Finnish, but links point to articles written in English.)
Indeed, it is a very selective list. I see nobody checking why *exactly* 85 masterpieces of minds were selected? (hint: RTFA)
It is not just the freedom of choice, it is also about the multitude of choices available.
I would say that is prolly for the better for everyone, since we will be able to reach more people with more information.
Exactly! Once we lose our freedom(s) due to crazy digital copyright acts and other such legislation (both in US and EU), the Asians will hopefully have been fully liberated and *ta-daa* come to the rescue and demand that the oppression of poor US and EU citizens must stop!
Now that would be a victory for freedom and Lucas could maybe then reconsider making the last 3 movies of SW with the republic-turned-bad turned back into good by the rebels!
You are going to be one sad person on the day your bookmark file gets scorched and your homepage-setting deleted... (unless you have some google ips memorized)
Maybe they should co-operate more with the UnitedLinux companies -- oh wait, they might be holding some minor crudge and require it to be called UnitedLinux/Hurd then...

How the hell do you get anything done in that noise?

One thing that really makes their advice look good: the site had not been slashdotted -- at least not yet a moment ago!
