Fun tiemz on teh internetz
I talked a particularly slippery conservative troll into a corner today. Always fun.
(Actually, I probably shouldn't call him a troll. I think he sincerely believes the nonsense he spews.)
I should be coding. Or writing about coding. Lazy Friday... -

More Pink Liberal Wank

So it's not for our own sakes that we oppose the greedy machinations of the super-wealthy. It's not from us that they steal. It's not our own share that we fight to have ( Read more... ) -

One idea shot down
I was thinking about starting a FreeGeek in Tucson. Then I discovered that something similar already exists here - only they're a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, and they load their refurbished machines with Windows XP ( Read more... )
