Amen brother. Hang their fat asses high. Executive culture has to go. We are all free men. Viva la revolution.

The day has come. Any day from now on is different. The duke has been released. How can you not post in this story. Take a breath look around and have the feeling of history unfolding. Time to move on.

Ha, still got it :)

I have been there. It is totally awsome :). My boss had an old Manta I could borrow from him. I had a reeaaally good time. To bad all the motor cycles crash all the time. We had 6 crashed bikes in one day. Track closed guys sweeping sand over the oil spill. Guys limping with plastic parts along the track. It"s crazy

The hardware that is so brilliantly made nobody is allowed to know how it works. And as a result it actually doesn't work. I say congratulations.

Most American companies are about the marketing anyway. Fast food, candy bars, cars. Lots of fancy colors. Sell as much crap with a fancy wrapper. Don't see what got lost, maybe we are better off :)

The shell is awesome. Linux has needed it's own visual style for a long time. Hey you guys still like the win95 look, I still have a disk for you here somewhere.

People writing this law belong in a mental institution. Mark al in favor of this law a call the white coat people.

This makes it very obvious why all government communication should be accessible to all it's citizens. People behave very different when they know what they are doing is secret.

Free markets lead to monopolies. There is one bigger player. It has economies of scale and buys the smaller players. Then prices lower so smaller players get marginalized. Once you have two or three players the CEO's go golfing with each other. They decide to make complex buying plans to make the market non-transparant and keep a couple of different brands around too keep all the customers confused and the prices high. The free market does not exist in the wall street journal talks about it. Every market has rules and needs good rules. These rules are made by the government. Free market here is used as a catch phrase to let monopolies get away with sub standard service.

What a waste of time.

You can apply for a patent online in Europe. www.epoline.org. You just register and get a smartcard identification + reader sent to your home. This is free by the way. Imagine that. You then write a patent. There is all sorts of documentation on how to do this properly and you have loads of examples of patents online. For a Dutch patent you pay 80 euro. That is it, no that is not a typo. You know what it cost at a patent bureau. 5000,- for 15 sheets of paper max. that is some nice profit. So again just cut out the middlemen and especially if it is a lawyer.

It's like being kicked in the side.

Is ridiculous. You have to fill in a list where you have to mark all things with the obvious answer if you want to get in. This of course regardless of anything on there is true or not. Have you ever used drugs? Who is ever going to answer yes to that on a form. It's just for the feeling of safety. I refuse to take part in that kind of moral pressure to lie.

This is proof that they can build a cheap ARM linux machine with a great screen. Too bad all vendors are scared crazy of what the first eeePC delivered even Asus. Good enough processor in a very small form factor with commodity pricing. It is all working and build into this way to expensive laptop. Features and prices have gone up on all netbooks so close to most notebooks it does not seem worth it anymore to buy one.
