Now I'm not one to promote violence in any form, but I gotta' tell ya', this little e-soap opera between Dvorak and/. and Linux over the whole O'Gara/SCO mess is just way too not to pay attention to. I mean sure, people are certainly entitled to their own opinions, but to throw around verbal attacks like this is just ridiculous, and, sad to say about myself, ridiculously fun to listen to. I can see now why people watch those daytime shows where a daughter's son is cheating with her mother on her father - I swear it's like watching fireworks.
Of course, by posting this, I submit my own little cause of the problem. What a mess.
I know that in my dorm room I used to keep things that I really wanted secure in the ceiling. In most dorms, you can take the ceiling tiles, so I removed one, placed stuff on another tile, then replaced the original tile. Sure it's a pain in the neck, but no one expects anything to be up there except for empty beer bottles anyways.
Another thing I happened to come across in my dorm was that there were cement walls between adjacent rooms, even in the ceiling, save for a hole where the heating pipes went through (which happened to be great conduits for running network cable across the floor:-) ) - you may want to look around up there for anything besides an adjacent tile for a place to put stuff on. In my case, there was a cement ledge close to the walls that seperated the rooms that worked extremely well.

They couldn't have come up with something better than libjingle?
What about libjingoober?
Or better yet, just a library without that jingle crap called libgoober?
