Free Software Helping Your Community

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

So, we all talk quite a bit about the ethics of Free Software.  We talk about its practical benefits, its social benefits, its economic benefits, and its ethical benefits.  Let me ask you, when’s the last time you went out and actually tried to help someone use it locally?  Yeah, I know that we’ve got [...]

Hillary Disgraces Herself Going on the Attack, Forgetting her Past

Friday, February 15th, 2008

So, I don’t think Hillary Clinton has read Matthew 7:4 lately which says: “How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?” (NIV)
So, let’s look at the record that Hillary’s running on.  Hillary Clinton’s family–immediate family, [...]

United States Seeking Death Penalty for 9/11 Detainees

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Anybody else feel like the entire rest of the flippin’ world is watching and waiting for us to kill these folks that we’ve had at gitmo for all this time?  I feel it, I feel it like the hot burning eyes of scorn.
I don’t under any circumstances like the idea of letting people go after [...]

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

This may come as a surprise to some, but there are several Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and desktop environments out there. The most commonly known ones are:

GNOME
KDE
Xfce
WindowMaker
Blackbox
Enlightenment
FVWM
IceWM

Most of these programs (desktop environments and window managers are still just programs, or more commonly collections of programs) perform very similar tasks like putting window decorations (title [...]

Blacks Voting for Obama is not Racism.

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

So, if you follow the racist jerk-off’s in the United States then you’ll see that many of them are trying to point the finger at Obama and his supporters as being racists because Blacks are voting for Obama.  Wow, these same people didn’t say anything about the fact that only white candidates have ever made [...]

Morons Celebrate Censorship and Spread Hate

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

So, I hate republishing stuff that I see on ivorypower, but this is a very scary thing that Josh posted over there. The so-called National Socialist Movement, also known as neo-Nazis, is organizing a book-burning in Ohio. They intend to burn books that–in their words, not mine:

Books promoting homosexual and lesbian agendas
Books revising, [...]

Irony Strikes as a Ron Paul Supporter gets Bullied

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

So, a Ron Paul supporter had his tires slashed recently and like all good Paulites he cried about it on YouTube. Now, I don’t condone anybody slashing tires, but I do think that it’s a bit of poetic justice that a Ron Paul supporter got a little of what Ron Paul supporters dish out. [...]

Time for Ron Paul to go Third Party?

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Well, Ron Paulites, you can’t deny this.  Ron Paul will not be receiving the Republican nomination.  It’s not possible, and Ron Paul would drop out of the Republican race if he had any good sense.  It might make more sense for him to take his money and run as a third party candidate or an [...]
