Do you know that kernel.org, which is the official source for the Linux kernel code, is mirrored in many places? Well, it is… except that the list of those mirrors is kept exclusively at kernel.org. So, if you’re looking for a mirror to download from because you can’t reach kernel.org, you’re pretty much fucked.
Does that sound like a very smart policy to anyone?
Here’s a State of the Union attendee you likely won’t hear much about. Kill 2 and get an invite to sit near Laura Bush for the SotU, without any regard for the families of your victims. I think that’s what they call “compassionate conservatism”.
CIA: Iraq abandoned weapons programs in 1991. Good thing they figured this out before embarking on an foolish, poorly-planned invasion… er, never mind.
Microsoft: Linux security a ‘myth’. In related news, Microsoft execs are full of shit. Listening to Microsoft on computer security is a bit like listening to a priest talk to you about sex, isn’t it?
Does the Administration’s claims of high voter turnout in the Iraqi election sound familiar? They should. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Running Linux and want to truly replicate the Windows experience? How about running Windows viruses through WINE? It’s not easy, but it can be done!
Nixon vs. Bush. At first I thought “whoever wins, we all lose”… but then any comparison with Dubya makes Tricky Dick look pretty damn good.
Genuine conservatives can’t stand the loony bin of end-timers and neocons that now own the White House. Funny how it’s not only liberals that describe neocons as blinkered and hateful.
Think American juries award ridiculous amounts to plaintiffs? They’re mere amateurs compared to Spaniards! I suppose 1.1 QUADRILLION dollars might strike some as excessive, but it does account for inflation.
GOP changes symbol from elephant to condom. It’s perfectly fine, just as long as no one talks about them, because as every Republican knows talking about condoms lead to fornication.
