Wonderfully refreshing speech by the "Founder of the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation"
pointing out that many countries have some kind of "Number One Nightmare" deeply embedded in their identity, effecting their sensitivity to certain policies or changes and the way these reactions are perceived by the rest of the global community that does not share that nightmare.

Sorry, you have been verizoned."Maybe it's time to turn "Verizon" into a verb. As in: I can't get to this website, either it's down or the firewall admin's verizoned it. Damn it, this music download shop is totally verizoned, I can't even burn these files to a CD! If you're planning to get to West Palm Beach today you might want to take the turnpike, I hear they've verizoned half of I-95 due to construction." http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=136326&cid=11384475 21.01.2005, 12:12 |
Daemons and Pixies and Fairies, Oh My!FreeBSD funnies such as "How many FreeBSD hackers does it take to change a lightbulb?" and "Where does data written to /dev/null go?":http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/funnies.html ...and then there recently was this new candidate: Subject: Re: My freebsd dream From: chris.trismegistus@gmail.com To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org I have a dream that one day this [OS] will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all [code is] created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red[mond] hills of [Washington] the [derived works] of former [research projects] and the [derived works] of former [corporations] will be able to [link] together [in] a table of [compatibility]. I have a dream that one day even the [company of Microsoft], a desert [company], sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four [computers] will one day [run] in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their [GUI] but by the content of their [code base]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day the state of [IP], whose [lawyer's] lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little [freebsd boxes] and [linux boxes] will be able to [share code] with little [windows boxes] and [solaris boxes] and [run] together as [clients] and [servers]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every [interface] shall be [defined], every [bug] and [error] shall be [documented], the [compiler warnings] will be made [understandable], and the [stack pages] will be made [no-exec], and the glory of the [Code] shall be revealed, and all [users] shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the [buildworld]. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of [operating systems] into a beautiful [cluster] of [beowulf]. With this faith we will be able to work together, to [code] together, to [debug] together, to [core dump] together, to stand up for [standards] together, knowing that we will be [compatible] one day. 19.12.2004, 11:21 |

Brendan, never tired of providing Javascript supportFrom: Brendan EichTo: mozilla-jseng Subject: Re: does mozilla support javascript? Of course Mozilla supports JavaScript. Your report is pretty useless without a testcase, or the URL of a page that doesn't work as you expect. Perhaps the page expects some non-standard Internet Explorer feature exposed to JScript to be supported by other browsers. /be 20.08.2004, 12:00 |
