A grand hack in the truest tradition. And the very end of the story brought a tear to my eye.

Yup - running on a Via C3, and no problems what-so-ever.

Submission + - Group raises money for Child's Play w/ video game. (desertbus.org)
James writes: "Hey, just thought you guys might find this kinda cool. A Victoria, BC (Canada) web based sketch comedy group has found a cool way to raise some money for Child's Play this year. They are playing Desert Bus, a mini game within Penn and Teller: Smoke and Mirrors. Basically they keep driving until the donations stop. They have already raised 1100.00 dollars and haven't really gotten much press about it. If you guys were able to give them a link i am sure that would help them emensely in reaching their 5000.00 dollar goal. Check them out at www.desertbus.org"
Submission + - evolution
Bob Wilson writes: "Evolution requires struggle, be in getting a promotion in the office, studying hard in school, or baking a cake. Without struggle there can be no evolution.
Religion, of course, ignores it entirely. Liberals look so hard to find Utopia that they ignore it as well. Russia stagnated under Communism because it renounced the needs of evolution.
Unfortunately, many in the scientific community are liberals and again, liberals look for utopia instead of facts, working only on their own limited fields. Politicians play only to the popular views, whatever they may be, and of course the requirements of evolution are ignored.
Evolution cannot be found in a socialist, communist or welfare state. There must be struggle or there is no evolution."
