Control-Escape.com
which aims to be a help site for novice linux users making the
migration from those less known alternative OSs from Redmond.

another Slashdot reference in the mainstream- this one is in
a NY times story.
Now we have a few funny bits not for the Moral and Pure:
the_gimp sent us a link
to what is probably the most amusing patent
in recent memory. Glad that's patented. Don't want that technology
uncontrolled.
Somewhat related, behhl sent us
a site that was bound to happen-
AdultLinux.
You can guess what it's for. And lastly, for the strangest
bit of the day,
Hans sent us a link
to Furniture Porn.

Yet another pathetic patent (Score:1)
I love the cybergold patent. Talk about a load of shit. Patenting the technique of paying people to read ads? My god how lame. I am so sick of these stupid fucking patents on the obvious. Pretty soon, if I scratch my ass I'll be infriging on general plumbing's patents no. 1,867,345 and 567,976, as well as several pending ones.

Anyhow, I just find this highly amusing because all around here (in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area) there are these giant yellow billboards that say something like "COME STARE AT OUR NUDE MODELS". Of course, they are referring to an unfinished furniture store...

Performance of MS's web servers has improved significantly in the last year or so, but I still have immense difficulty getting useful information from their "Index Server". I can only recommend that people not, on pain of death, use "Index Server" for their own web sites.

Where's the computer interface? (Score:1)
This device was a cover story in the Chicago Reader two years ago. The inventor is a man with a mission. Tragically, the gutless wonder the Reader assigned to write the article couldn't work up the gumption to actually measure the diameter of his organ, thus never actually tried the device. (Should have given one to Howard Stern.)
Personally, I'm not afraid to admit that I'd like to own one. I'm married, and we love each other very much, but the simple truth is that the male sex drive usually exceeds the female, and few people who have been together for nearly 20 years do it every day.
Hell, I'd like to see a serial port of the thing and interface it to my computer! A DVD with a control track. Forget MS "Barnie" and Teddy Ruxpin, I want my TV to control a device that can really do something for me! I want the full "Sensaround Experience" with my copy of "Deep Throat". Chat channels for lovers to stimulate each other from long distances.

I looked at the patent page and noticed "Hey I used to live in the same town as this guy!". Then I looked at the guy's name and remembered that I used to live across the street from this guy when I was a kid in grade school (he was about 13 at the time, I guess). He was the definitely the weird kid on the block.

It is the Venus II from the Sybian folks. Same guy, Rick Gellert of Sybian is the Reinhard Gellert in the patent.
BTW, they mention a Venus 2000, newer model at a lower price.

It's not "censorship", either, since a lot of people have their thresholds set to -1 or lower by default and they still see them (as can ANYONE if they just adjust their viewing threshold). It's just scoring by the moderators.
Moderators cannot delete comments, by the way. They can only adjust the relative score of posts. If a deletion occurs, it's one of the admins of the site that's doing it.
