special fuck SCO and M$ report + report from denike
SCO is preparing to bring suit against linux end users
SCO pisses on the GPL, while adding more GPL'd software to their proprietary software line.
Eben Moglen on SCO's GPL defamation. "This argument is frivolous, by which I mean that it would be a violation of professional obligation for Heise or any other lawyer to submit it to a court."
MS socialogist on newsgroup mining, and learning who's a worthy human...
linux boffins laugh at SCO, and SCO says even if your right, we'll win...
2 years ago, the SBA raided Ernie Ball, the guitar string and musical instruments company. Sterling, Ernie's son, vowed never to use Microsoft products again. ever. this is the best article on switching i ever read, period the end...and the best on being raped by the SBA/M$
Danny reports on a day aboard the USS Howard, one of the latest in WUV (war utility vehicle), which are fast supplanting SUV's as Amerika's favorite thing to drive. ;-) ole' poddy boy wishes he had one of these tied up at the marina...post the pix, Danny! (and how did you get onboard?)

Later I'll post the pix from my day aboard USS Howard, one of the new Burke-class destoryers. It was a family outing the Navy calls a "dependent's cruise." I happen to work with a woman whose husband is the soon-to-be-retired Lt. JG Barnes, formerly of the USS Constellation (air craft carrier now decommissioned) who invited me for an all-day underway. And it was soooo cool.
I got to: a) visit the staterooms, b) eat breakfast in the wardroom, c) meet the CO, d) get up to the bridge and sit in the CO's Kirk-like chair, e) witness a live fire weapons demo (Phalanx CiWs and the 5" forward guns), f) eat barbecue on the helo pad, g) hangout with some cool-ass sailors, h) zip along big at 35 knots, i) lose my balance during left/right hard rudders at 35 knots, j) see one of our Los Angeles Class nuclear subs surface on the port side about 30 miles off the coast
It was a great day on a $880 M vessel. I feel like an owner now.
