See here. I mean, yeah the client is Windows XP with a customized QuickTime. And the server is only Fedora Core 4. But it’s still Fedora. Yay Fedora!

The Federation Gets Fined By The EU
See here. Yeah, how do you like that Bill Gates? Huh? Huh? Huh? Not so big now, are ya?
Tux runs for President. Finally, someone I can support.
See here. Here’s his campaign statement:
What do I stand for? Just one thing: Linux. Oh yeah, and fish. I want to put a Linux computer in every home, every office, every garage, every hotel room… if there’s a flat surface somewhere I want to put a Linux computer there. Oh yeah, and a fish in every pocket, so that nobody ever has to compute hungry ever again.
So yes, this means that I will become Tux’ second endorser for US President. After Linux Journal.
Thief steals MacBook and leaves behind Dell. Thief = stupid.
See here. Some idiot stole a MacBook and left behind the Dell. Thieves are also idiots otherwise they wouldn’t be thieves.
Begrudging hat tip (well, more of a tiny imperceptible hat raise) to Fake Steve Jobs.

I go on a rant about suspend
See here.
I go on an amazing rant about suspend issues. Here’s my full quote:
“For example, the ‘freeze’ action for USB (which is one of the hardest things to suspend) should literally be something like just setting the controller STOP bit, and waiting for it to have stopped. The ‘unfreeze’ should be to just clear the stop bit, while the ‘restart’ should be just a controller reset to use the current memory image. NONE OF THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING TO DO WITH SUSPEND. It never did. I’ve told people so for years. Maybe actually seeing the problems will make people realize.”

Canonical betrays the Jedi and head to the dark side
See here. The bum Shuttleworth is partnering with IBM (also big traitors) and is supporting the Express-C database. Shameful. Especially when MySQL is around. But that’s not even very bad until you realize that Canonical is actively selling support for Express-C. Bums.
Oh, and they also sell the premier version. How much? £1,887.84!!!! That’s about $3500. Traitors.

The Federation promises not to sue us. Cause they’d lose anyway.
Aw. How nice of them. See here.
They’re also opening up their protocols (most notably Office 2007). Mostly because we did such a good job reverse engineering them.
