Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/20/2008

The analogies don't work. I do wish people would stop trying to use them. And meanwhile, I want to live in a world where there's free wifi everywhere. Which is why my AP is left open with an SSID which is my address. Long live the Linksys/Belkin/Dlink def … (see comment)

10 Best Linux Audio players

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/22/2008

Mozilla CEO says Apple's Safari auto-update 'wrong'

Comment in News (7 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/22/2008

My problem was always the other way round. I wanted Quicktime but didn't want iTunes. And every time the updater went off it tried to install iTunes again. Just stop it, Apple. It's not clever and it's not funny. (see comment)

Apple's fixes show it is a good open-source citizen

Comment in News (4 diggs, 2 replies) - on 03/21/2008

So how about looking at OSX as if it's a Linux Distro. How good and timely is Apple about pushing upstream updates out into the Distro update channel? How complete is there repository? As good as say Ubuntu or Fedora? Or worse? (see comment)

The biggest scam ever perpetrated: The Federal Reserve Act

The banking system is magic. And money is the Schrodingers cat of economics. But it's better not to shake the curtains too much or the whole performance of smoke, mirrors and sleight of hand might just come crashing down. For the moment, it works because … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 02/13/2008

OpenID might have more pressing priorities, however. There is a growing perception that not all parties are really taking OpenID seriously. TechCrunch complains, for instance, that only Google has become a "relying party" that allows third-party OpenIDs t … (see comment)

A Sorry State of the Union

Comment in Images (-3 diggs, 1 reply) - on 01/30/2008

Dugg down because I don't believe he had an 84% approval rating in 2002 or that he has a 32% approval rating now. Surely both numbers should be much, much lower. I'm actually hoping that a Republican that is absolutely bat crazy gets nominated and elected … (see comment)
