"She didn't call right away. It took her about 15 minutes to finally call me. When she did she didn't say anything for the first 15 seconds. When she finally did speak, it was obvious she was crying.
"Why did you throw me to the wolves like that?""

Did anyone else "D'awwww" at this as hard as I did?
We're sorry, Karen :(

Sigh, me neither.

Honestly I can deal with it not remembering what was open last time, but the segfaults.. fffff. I use it still though, for light browsing. I use Firefox for flash. Inconvenient but Midori is so much smoother/faster/nicer :/

Suit Claims Diebold Voting Machines Violate GPL 252

Posted by kdawson from the insult-to-injury dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Diebold Inc. and its subsidiary, Premier Election Solutions, is using Ghostscript in its electronic election systems even though Diebold and PES 'have not been granted a license to modify, copy, or distribute any of Artifex's copyrighted works,' Artifex claims in court papers filed late last month in US District Court for Northern California. The gs-devel list first brought up the possible GPL violation a year ago."

Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet 547

Posted by CmdrTaco from the because-they-can dept.
meridiangod writes "The Air Force is fed up with a seemingly endless barrage of attacks on its computer networks from stealthy adversaries whose motives and even locations are unclear. So now the service is looking to restore its advantage on the virtual battlefield by doing nothing less than the rewriting the 'laws of cyberspace.'" I'm sure that'll work out really well for them.
It's funny. Laugh.

XKCD Improving the Internet ... Yet Again 204

Posted by CmdrTaco from the oh-oh-monroe dept.
netbuzz writes "Comic creator Randall Monroe suggested in a recent xkcd strip that YouTube comments would be better — or, more precisely, less idiotic — if only those posting them were forced to hear their words read aloud first. Well, YouTube has gone and made this "audio preview" a reality, albeit an optional one. And, it's not the first time that xkcd has contributed to the betterment of the Internet, as those who are familiar with last year's "Internet census" and its use of a Hilbert curve may remember."

Submission + - First video of Duke Nukem Forever (kotaku.com)

Submitted by

Blice writes: "Kotaku has an article noting the first ever footage of Duke Nuken Forever gameplay

With Duke Nukem Forever over a decade in development, you'd think that first gameplay video reveal of the thing would be a major event, the type of clip that would be handed out as an exclusive to a major video game press outlet. Nope. Instead, 3D Realms' forever-in-the-making first person shooter gets the over the shoulder, indirect feed treatment on The Jace Hall Show — delivered via the dreadful Crackle video player no less.
