Comment Re:This is Georgia (Score 1) 630

In Georgia, It is illegal to have sex if you are not married. I was married for 15 months, and before the divorce, I agreed to help my ex get back on her feet.. A judge chose to write in the divorce decree for life and didn't even accept my objection. They refused to register the alimony decree (an illegal decree because it failed to name a levying officer, and failed to recognize a valid exemption) in California so I am left in Federal Court begging help from Lawyers to right a wrong. The sheriff's office accused me of being on meth during a nervous breakdown when I have never seen it, used it or knew how to use it. There claim was that I was too strong to not be on drugs. I had already lost half my stength due to a chronic illness.

It is a State that meets the very definition of evil. I can tell true stories that would horrify even the most conservative/protective of individuals elsewhere. I believe the only way to save the State Of Georgia is too nuke it from orbit. I guess I had better wait for Georgia to charge me with making Criminal Threats for the above statement in 3.2.1. Georgia makes the old Soviet Union look like a Free and Democratic society.

Submission + - Washington's $50B tech plan derailed by lawsuit

Stony Stevenson writes: A group of technology service providers are claiming that the U.S. government broke its own laws when it selected contractors to participate in a sweeping technology initiative on which Washington plans to spend up to $50 billion. Plans for moving ahead with the program, known as Alliant, are now on hold, according to the General Services Administration. In the lawsuit against the government, one of the service providers, Serco, claims the federal selection process for the program was "arbitrary and capricious," and did not properly account for vendors' past performance, references, and technical capabilities — as required by law.

Feed Sprint May Be In Trouble, But It's Got Enough Sense To Avoid Buying Vonage (techdirt.com)

As Vonage continues to search for a way out of its Verizon-inflicted patent mess, rumors are kicking up that Sprint is in talks to buy the company, with a deal "on the table". However, as Eric Savitz at Tech Trader Daily points out, it's quite hard to see Sprint inserting themselves into the situation before the litigation runs its course, while Vonage's poor prospects for profits don't help. It's probably worth noting that the site fueling these rumors is a sister site of the one that was behind the speculation about a buyout of Palm -- with its anonymous sources insistent that a deal was imminent. Of course, no such deal happened, and it's unlikely there will be a deal for Vonage, either.

Submission + - How many Slashdotters does it take to screw MS?

An anonymous reader writes: How many Slashdotters would actually buy Linux pre-installed on a desktop or laptop? Let's assume the price is comparable to Dell or a few $ cheaper and all or almost all the hardware is 100% supported by at least one distro. Out there in the real world away from noisy forums, would you really cough up the money? Or would you just go and buy the parts and download it yourself?
