The Sun folks are sounding the alarm that this is the end of Linux! I think what they fail to reailize is the state of Debian and his original project leads. I see his move as signal of Sun’s new commitment to the GPL3 than to him closing his ideals off from the Linux community. If you read his early papers and reasons for starting Debian you will quickly realize he has almost Richard Stallman views on free software. If you want to see the Sun Blog I commented on: ...
Yep it is true. The story goes like this: I schedule my flight on Saturday from Huntsville to Fort Walton Beach for a business trip. I am unable to leave on Sunday due to no flights so they stick me on a Saturday flight. No worries. I wake from my nap @ 1400 in order to prepare. I check the flight status only to find the flight has been delayed by 2 hours. That would put me into Atlanta @ 2114 and my next flight takes off @ 2133. RIGHT! Anyone been to Atlanta. So I quickly start making calls only to run into 2 people who don’t speak English. I mean at all. These people could only do hooked-on-phonics from the screen. I recieved the same information over and over again. I hang up and try for time 3 and reach Oneil who puts me in touch with rescheduling. They say it is going to cost me 50 dollars to reschedule. I ask why as it isn’t my fault. The time now is 1540 and she finally gets me off hold to tell me there is a 1545 I could catch from Huntsville. Well I could have, if she and the others spoke English. So now I fly out hoping that I can make it through the gates @ Atlanta in time for my next flight. Wish me well. I hate flying

For some reason in the twilight zone a G4 Mac Mini is still worth near it’s asking price. Why? I cannot for the life of me understand who is paying these prices for machines that are EOL. Esh! 300 is about the max I will pay for a 1.25 ORIGINAL MAC MINI. 2004 People. It has called to let you know the price was a steal then, but now is robbery.
Test, beats the crap out of me if this is working :)
