Morbus: Because BLURB and CHUMP both remind me of fat people.
sbp: Morbus hates everything. Including monkeys, it seems
Morbus: Well, the poo flinging kind. That shit stings (heh).
Morbus: Wired's take on the soon-to-be-released Office v. X. "The one strike that the Mac always had against it, remember, was that it didn't offer very good versions of Windows programs. Now that's changed -- the Mac version of Office makes the Windows version look like something designed in the last century. And that, of course, prompts the question -- why do we need Windows, again?"
Morbus: So Brian and Dennis started playing, and they created C. God saw C, and saw that it was good. So he decided to let Brian and Dennis play some more.
Morbus: Then Brian and Dennis created Unix. God saw Unix, and he was jealous. So he created Bill to torment Brian and Dennis and obscure their creation (for God could not destroy Unix, for he secretly admired its perfection).
Morbus: But all this time Brian and Dennis started to make something better than Unix called Plan 9 (because God was successful in foiling Brian and Dennis' previous seven plans [there was no Plan 8 because Brian and Dennis pulled the wool over God's eyes and just jumped to Plan 9, which was too bright a move for even God to figure out.] )
Morbus: Man, this is flipping hilarious.
AaronSw: Rob Kaye: "I think we're the only opensource project to have a hairdresser as a sponsor."
AaronSw: O'Reilly donated $500 in return for him shaving the P2P logo in his hair.
AaronSw: They've even got some photos of me, Larry Lessig and Rob Kaye
AaronSw: "The future of war is here... Decentralize or Die."
AaronSw: Wired hasn't actually put up the cover yet, so I'm guessing at the URL.
AaronSw: From Clay Shirky
AaronSw: Started by the Biological Models of Computing BOF at the O'Reilly P2P/Web Services conference.
AaronSw: "Napsterize the Enterprise!"
AaronSw: "We need to leverage strategic inflection points in order to monetize the global data infrastructure." ;-)
AaronSw: "Happy birthday, Aaron!" (I turn 15 today.)
