Novell wins! SCO loses! – Computerworld Blogs

After just more than seven years of SCO lawsuits, SCO has lost its last real chance of causing Linux and the companies that support it — IBM; Novell, and Red Hat — any real trouble.

TinyUrl FTW!

CoolMody and I had a really good laugh today.

I’m sorry but we blew up your laptop (welcome to Israel) « Lilysussman’s Blog

An announcement played over the sound system, interrupting my break in the sunshine. First in Hebrew, then Arabic, then in English. It was something along the lines of, ” do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passanger luggage.”

The Open Sourcerer » Remote Firefox over X/SSH

So, I’ve been trying to get Firefox over an Xtunnel from my server to me. Not cool, definatly not easy. Firefox isnt wrtten well enough to do this easily.

As it turns out, as long as you have your SSH sess -X”, you can run

firefox -no-remote & 

and you are golden, provided this is the only invocation of firefox on the remote machine.

XFN – XHTML Friends Network

XFN™ (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a ‘rel’ attribute to their <a> tags.

So I noticed deep in my WordPress, an option to use XFN to “indicate” what kind of links I have in my “links” gadget. (the one with Sluggy, Userfriendly, et al.)… So I got curious, and I started reading the site… It’s a neat idea. I also noticed they have a “thanks” page where they reference peoples sites directly, a perfect example of a situation to use the XFN in.

The only problem? They dont have a *single* XFN tag on their site. Funny funny FUNNY!

Record Labels Face $60 Billion Damages for Pirating Artists | TorrentFreak

It is no secret that the major record labels have a double standard when it comes to copyright. On the one hand they try to put operators of BitTorrent sites in jail and ruin the lives of single mothers and students by demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and on the other they sell CDs containing music for which they haven’t obtained copyright permission.
