At least they didn't mention anything about a 'Whispering Eye' and start giggling... I guess that's a positive.

Well, unless you can get some semi-nude cheerleaders to appear in a Linux video, then I think your options are limited.

The lobster might behave as we would, but I can guarantee you that the lobster is much, much tastier. Speaking of which, I think I need to go for some Lobsterfest tonite!

With the economy how it is, corporations are going to avoid the unknown, specifically the unknown costs involved in moving to FOSS. They know the costs involved with MS/IBM/etc., and are going to stick with them. Good luck, ain't gonna happen.

Ford pardoned Nixon, urging the country to move ahead. Like Nixon, Bush & Cheney will never see jail time. Some of their cronies might, but not them.

So you're one of the (approx) 30% of America that believes Bush & Co. did everything legally? I wasn't aware that there were so many fans of fascism in the US.

Is anyone shocked by this revelation? I'd be more surprised if investigations and prosecutions actually occur. Somehow, I have a feeling the Obama administration will want to try to move past Bush's abuses of power as soon as possible in the name of "change," rather than focus on all the bullshit that went on during the past eight years.

Measuring the "Colbert Bump" 674
An anonymous reader writes "Democratic politicians receive a 40% increase in contributions in the 30 days after appearing on the comedy cable show The Colbert Report. In contrast, their Republican counterparts essentially gain nothing. Moreover, even a cursory analysis demonstrates that despite being a comedy program The Colbert Report appears to exercise 'disproportionate real world influence' — likely due to the 'elite demographic' of its audience." In my home we refer to Stephen as "Loud Daddy" because my child would scream bloody murder when we paused him (and only him) on screen. Even at 8 months old the kid has strange taste.
US Failing To Prosecute Online Criminals 154
Ashlynne9423 writes "A report by the Center for American Progress and the Center for Democracy and Technology has found there is too little action being taken against online criminals, despite rising consumer concern about online safety. The report found that state officials were spending only 40 per cent of case time investigating online fraudsters, preferring instead to concentrate on higher profile solicitation and pornography cases."
