A Linux Valentine

Oh Linux, how do I love thee?
http://linuxhow2.com/Feature_Articles/A_Linux_Valentine.html

You're just easy to get along with. You don't get in my way or hog my system resources. You just let things be, while I do my work, check my e-mail, and chat with friends. Your package managers update all my software at once; I don't have to worry about every individual application flooding my network, checking to see if updates are available. I don't have to worry about that silly registry that would always get errors or get infected and start launching malicious software. All your software is simple to use; it's familiar; there's nothing really new to learn; I can just go about my business as usual, on rare occasion using your exquisite communities for help when the need arises. Remember when I had problems before? I'd sit on support lines, feeling like a second rate customer. Is this what all my money was paying for? But now I don't pay at all; all those thousands of dollars I save, and now I have a whole world community reaching out to help me.

And I love you too, Linux :)

OpenOffice 3 has PDF import, native Aqua UI, and Tara Reid

It seems like upcoming OpenOffice 3 will have:

(...) Support for MS Office 2007 XML. Microsoft confusingly calls this ‘Office Open XML’. We call it Stop Naming Your Unstable Undocumented Shitty Format To Sound Like Ours Thanks.

Weeeee!

Does Shared Source Software equal Shareware?

Considering the free vs. open vs. shared software misunderstandings I thought about adding even more uncertainity. Here I ask the question:

If you use "Shared Source" license for your software does this make it "Shareware"?

Simple line of reasoning below:
Shared-Source Software -> Shared Software -> Shareware ???

There is a lot of software available under commercial licenses. However many, many people still use unofficial copies of such software. They mey be pirating it, but in fact they may *share* it among themselves.

Now think about Shared-Source license and Windows. Is it shareware then?

The Microsoft Matrix

This is also a good one, and has been written in August 1999:

Hardcore feelings

Come show me your hardcore feelings, with your raving meanings
cause I don't know the way to groove.
I've never learned to dance this fast and I don't know how to move.
The beat's kicking hard and the beat's kicking low, k' I think it is too neat. I'd rather like to dance with you like we did cheek to cheek.

Come show me your hardcore feelings, with your raving meanings
cause I don't know the way to groove.
I've never learned to dance this fast and I don't know how to move.
The beat's kicking hard and the beat's kicking low, k' I think it is too neat. I'd rather like to dance with you like we did cheek to cheek.

(Fast Rave)

Come show me your hardcore feelings with your raving meanings from the bottom of your soul.
Hardcore feelings with raving meanings I feel I'm gonna loose control.
When the beat's kicking hard and the beat's kicking low would you give me one more chance? Hardcore feelings with raving meanings I feel I like to dance.
