Well, that was interesting! Last time I wrote here I was just becoming a Mac programmer. Now I'm moving back towards GNOME and GNU. The sad thing is we've probably already gone past peak interesting desktop, and depending on your approach to life it was either Alto or NeXTSTEP. Not much new will be happening there now, even though it could and could be useful and exciting.
My favorite Slashdot twins, the 'Damn_Smitties' will sing for you...

It's not personal. It's business.
Treachery is everywhere.
Nice party.
Oh, you like it?
Yeah, I had to sneak in.
your business is your business. I have no interest, no percentages. I'm out.
Your sins are terrible. It is just that you suffer. Your life could be redeemed, but I know you don't believe that. You will not change.

And please, check your idealism at the door. Just find the damn money..
Suppose for a second, a scientific breakthrough comes up with a pill or a procedure, which prevents humans from ever falling sick. Will we be seriously listening to people arguing, it should not be made available, because its introduction would put doctors and hospitals out of business?
Do you know what an NPA is?

"With the Sony collapse, America has lost its first cyberwar. This is a very, very dangerous precedent" - Newt (lying,cheating 'family values' hypocrite) Gingrich.
Nothing is more inspiring than an 'attack'. It gives us... purpose! That purpose is... victory!
