Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It could be coming from your computer, but if I were to make a guess, I would say it was coming from someone who recently visited provocateuse and has your email address in their cache.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not being sent from a provocateuse address. Well, a couple were. The ones that now number in the hundreds are "from" my profile address.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone know anything about this?

The entire senior editorial staff of LinuxWorld Magazine has today announced that they will be leaving the magazine, effective immediately.

LinuxWorld has never particularly impressed me, but still... weird.

We feel that recent articles published with the consent of Sys-Con Media fail to meet minimum generally accepted journalistic codes, and because the management of Sys-Con Media has failed to acknowledge that the articles are by all informed judgment ethically unsupportable, we have decided we must find other avenues for our work.”

What, were they publishing articles that were essentially advertisements?

They were -- strangely enough -- running anti-Linux articles. Or rather, thinly-veiled anti-Linix editorials disguised as articles. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The one thing I have to be careful of with my wirelessly networked Tivo is that sometimes it detects other wireless networks in the building, gets confused, and has to be re-told what our settings are before it will reconnect. This happens about twice a month.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have what may very well be an extremely dumb question. if I have a cable company provided DVR, the recorded stuff lives in the DVR, right? So that when I move it and hook it back up to the cable in my new place, all my saved stuff will still be there, and it will know what shows to record?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I think so, -t. Because when my power goes out, it's as good as unplugged and moved, right? And everything is always there when the power comes back on.

That's logical. I think I remember the cable going out and everything still being there when it came back. Thanks for the reassurance.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Are there any tv torrent sites still up? I'd really like to grab the end of Gilmore Girls. Grrrrr.
