Woke up reluctantly. I'm alive, though... =)
I had fun in the MUCKs last night.
Today's events: I got a copy of GNU Keyring, a nifty piece of software that hopefully remembers some passwords for me on my Palm. I hope it's cool. I never got used to gpasman...
Time to see how some things Work and how the Product Development continues.

Pathetic Cool Ratio, but hey, I'm not noding funny stuff, just more or less (usually "less") useful drivel on various subjects.

Nodes I Would C! Again And Vote Up Once More If That Would Be Possible: You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake by loothi. Deep, deep wisdom. =)
Speaking of that, I really should node about Objective Poetry...

So, Microsoft was busy saying that Linux == Communism... but...
In communistic systems, it was important that information remained classified (keeping source code secret), centralized government that couldn't be criticized (closed development process), one big single provider of goods (monopolistic corporation) and surveillance of citizens (severe, recurring breaches of privacy of the individual users). And once you notice that in this globalized society, the role of central government of the communistic systems have been taken by a multinational corporate giant, the analogy is complete.
- from Tietokone magazine website
Well, that's one viewpoint too - one must always remember that idea of "communism" and reality of "communism" have, through the history, been quite different ... =)
