The next thing you know, you got to stand in a line for 3 hours and get a permit to shag in your own house. When a country wants to take advantage of the Information Technlogy as they call it, they should be ready to accept the fact that with good Information, comes the not-so-good-for-kids information too.
Mark Shuttleworth's $$$ + Larry Ellison's $$$ == "World Domination". Muhahahahahahaha...
This might sound totally crazy but I want to see if works or not. What the hell, it's not my money.
Anyway, talking of Ubuntu, I've recently installed it after 4 years of RH/Fedora. I must say, it's amazing. I've even got my free CDs with shipit. And I've seen quite a few people taking up Ubuntu in my university. Way to go.
Elections in America are no longer a domestic matter. The consequences this particular country's elections can be felt to the remotest corners of the civilized world. Open up the Diebold's code so everyone can be sure there are no world domination attempts going on behind the scenes. Or, move the damn thing to Linux. That would solve atleast half the problem, isn't it?
A good programmer makes himself good and better. Teach the kids the need to share our intellect. Tell them how to help the community and hopefully, one of them would be able to create another Slashdot. Make sure your kids get how important it is to have to the freedom to read and modify the code. That should be enough motivation for the kids to make themselves better.
I'm totally drained out about thinking what would be the next damn thing to come out of the Google house. What else can a human being possibly do with the internet?
Microsoft says that this integration couldn't be done with past architectures
Past architectures? M$'s been developing this SFU thing for PDPs or what? I bet Vista isn't shit different from XP.
Now I can smoke all the pot I want and drink all the booze I want. Looks like in the near future, I can regenerate my lungs and liver too. Fuck the brain...who needs it anyway. I second Bob Dylan - EVERYBODY MUST GET STONED.
I participate in Folding@Home. Gives a small pleasure that your CPU is actually useful for curing cancer (well, not partly useful) rather than just for playing FPS games and playing rock music.
Anyway, any idea what is the world's largest distributed computing (volunteer computing) project? Is it SETI or Folding?
In addition to high-paying salaries and perks, Google/Yahoo/M$ also provide a better work environment. Since a startup can't beat these big shots with money, all it can do is to search hard for guys with enough motivation to join a startup and make his own mark.
Anyone who does't want his own talent product marked with "Google®" or "Microsoft®" should go for a start-up. That's all anyone can do about this brain-drain.
In India, M$ is paying a fresh graduate around Rs. 7,50,000 which is way higher than the average of Rs. 2,80,000. Not to say anything about extremely flexible work hours, relaxed/no dress-code etc etc. Now, which one would you chose? A start-up with no guarentee to see light in next decade or a high-paying software giant?
It's good to finish off high school and join a college. As a part of high school chemistry, we were expected to know the periodic table by-heart - all the groups and atomic numbers and stuff like that.
Start your own Fight Club and have fun. Screw the work. Screw the boss. Screw all that sh!t you buy even though you don't need it. If this is your first night of Fight Club - you got to fight. And this is a damn offtopic post.
I really don't care about computer implants. I'd be happy if no one tries to clone our dear Bill. Food for thought. Which would be worse - Adolf Hitler cloned or Bill Gates cloned - 100 years from now?

Taiwan should attack Afghanistan. That would trigger some Al-Queda reactions and those people are good at damaging really tall structures.
Yeah. All sorts of outrageous stuff happens in fiction. I mean, how in God's name can someone "swim" in gold coins!!!
AFA I remember, he was on the last spot last year. Any news what happened to him?
Good to see both the "Scrooge"s on the list. Looks like Uncle Scrooge is still making some good money after all these years.
Remember the Turing Test?

Donate that $100 million to the Ubuntu folks.

This news means that I'm surely one step closer to dumping windows altogether from my system and get one of those Mac babies.

Looks like it's Beta still and members only by invitation. Anyone to help me out?
Those a**holes should've controlled the A-bomb, not the internet.
Anything named after The Doors or even Jim Morrison?

You bash Microsoft on the Usenet? Or is there a company policy against it?
Sorry, just couldn't help it :D

Freedom - free as in free beer and free as in free speech. I bet RMS is happy.
