This reminds me of the novel/Dust/ by Charles Pellegrino. See http://www.sfsite.com/05b/dust33.htm for a pretty good review. ISBN-10: 0380787423 ISBN-13: 978-0380787425 http://www.amazon.com/Dust-Charles-R-Pellegrino/dp/0380787423/
Gates demands results from people to whom he gives money. In the criminally overcompetitive environment of Microsoft, this generated a meme pool of ferociously competitive behaviors that were optimal for maximizing Microsoft's profits.
However, in an environment of scientific research, the same meme pool has two disadvantages. First, it is unfamiliar to scientists who have never been exposed to it, and therefore their ideas suffer in comparison to ideas defended with Gates-level ferocity, not because of the merits of the ideas themseelves, but just because of the ferocity of the defense. Second, the ferocity itself interferes with communication among scientists, forcing them to be mutually suspicious and mutually destructive to defend their own livelihoods. This phenomenon already exists in scientific research, but it is electrically intensified by the Microsoft meme pool.

That's how I see it. The savagery of the deletions (purging and destroying everything) reminds me of PKing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_killer#Player_killing>; I suspect it has the same psychological motivation.
QR codes are being used to affix "What's This?" tags to objects in Real Life, so you can aim your cellphone at something and get directed to its Wikipedia article. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semapedia>.
The concept of Linux geeks caring about Nascar is just bewildering. Spectator sports are for beaten terminally-soul-ravaged wage-slaves, not for hackers. What's next, betting on the Detroit Penguins to win the World Series?
I searched Wikipedia for "Detroit Penguins" and the first page of results didn't have a page with that name, but it did mention NHL a few times; good enough to be sure I'm remembering the name right.
The essence of the Third Amendment ("No Soldier shall, in time of
peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor
in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law") is that the
exigencies of war are to be dealt with according to the prescripts
of the legislative branch, not the edicts of the executive branch.
Bush the Younger has consistently defied this essence throughout
his presidency, repeatedly asserting and demonstrating that the
executive branch will get away with breaking laws "because we are
at war". The effect has been to make it clearer to Americans than
it ever has been before that we no longer live under a rule of law.
Unfortunately, government can simply
make videoing police activities illegal,
then use its access to cellphone company
records to determine who made the video.
That messes up the experimental discussion system, where
the first line of each message is shown as a preview.
The experimental discussion system, like tagging, uses
Javascript. Smart people therefore refuse to use it.
Several times per year another security advisory
is released warning that another exploit for
Javascript has been found allowing the execution
of arbitrary code with the permissions of the
user, and the workaround is to disable Javascript.
I expect Javascript from malicious troids who
want to do things like reset my browser's
home page to their home page. (Safeway tried
that.) I don't expect it from geeks, except in
very rare cases where it does something that
really is impossible on the server side.
I agree that efficiency WBN, but reliability is even
more important. I switched to KDE when Gnome Panel 2.8
kept abending on my first day at a new job; because of
Gnome, it actually wasn't until the third day that
I had a usable workstation, and that was because on the
evening of the second day I emerged (Gentoo) KDE.
Gentoo is unreliable to build as well as to run.
Emerges of Gnome 2.10 abort more often than not,
whereas emerging KDE 2.4 Just Worked.

That should be 'without using any punctuation OR paragraphs';
