Prime mover.
Seth, you’re doing an AMAZING job. It’s people like you that keep Fedora moving forward by leaps and bounds.
Practicing what I preach.
When I first tried Ogg Vorbis, the free and open-source codec for compressed audio files (think “like MP3”), I was unimpressed. That was several years ago. At the time, even many MP3 compression utilities were using a substandard version of the MP3 codec — Xing springs to mind. These versions …
God, damn them.
The bastards are at it again in London… fire and smoke are reported in the London Underground. It appears that terrorists have struck the heart of London again. I don’t think they realize how this steels the British resolve. At least this time it appears casualties are nil. Update: Appears …
Slave to the rigor.
I was not really astonished to read this article about people who throw out their computers rather than keep cleaning spyware, virii and worms off their systems. Wow, come to think of it… how much time did I spend doing that in the last year? Zero. I feel honest pity …

It’s a Mr. Klein; he says he’s come about the reaping.
Ed Klein is best known for his years as an editor at the New York Times Magazine, but his new book on Hillary Clinton rarely rises above tabloid journalism. Klein has been largely shunned by MSM outlets, which has caused him to cry “wolf” and some other folks to at …
London calling.
I contacted my friends who live and work around downtown London this morning and they and their loved ones are, fortunately, all in good health. I want to post here the comments of Prime Minister Blair: It’s important… that those engaged in terrorism realize that our determination to defend our …
Even a broken clock.
Even if you’re a righty like me, you can respect something the EU has done recently. Update: It’s final.
They’re already here.
So I took my grandmother to see “War of the Worlds” this evening, and I have the pleasure to report that Spielberg apparently got those “Terminal” doldrums out of his system. Beautifully shot by (once again) Janusz Kaminski, with unbelievable special effects which, while maybe not pushing the envelope necessarily, …
