From the WTF division:

In the OpenSource world having to modify a driver because something changed in the kernel, is an advantage not a disadvange, both economically and techically. Proprietary software goes at the tariff of US$ 50-200 per line of debugged code. No such price applies to OpenSource software. Additionlly, if the API changes it is for a good reason. Then why not letting your driver benefit from it?
--Slashdot Interview Moshe Bar

So, "no such price" applies to OpenSource software? Opportunity cost, maybe? Every hour I spend recompiling the kernel because of a driver change (do I have to anymore?), I'm not working...

Now it's "Spring Break: You're busted"... They're showing videos of crazy Spring Break behavior to friends, family, and significant others... So much trash TV...

"Taildaters" on MTV is pretty hot... It's like the "Friends say..." popups on Blind Date, but all the time and interactive: X and Y go out on a date; their friends and ex's (!) provide live running commentary and page the participants with comments.

The Weblog FAQ. "How is a weblog different than an online journal? Weblogs do not contain little graphics at the end of each entry telling you that the author is "feeling bummed.""

MS02-026 : Unchecked Buffer in ASP.NET Worker Process (Q322289) [Microsoft TechNet - Security]

Worth reading, if only for their answer to "I thought unchecked buffers were impossible in the .NET framework?"

Interesting to note that this doesn't have a "Thanks to ______." Maybe MS found it on its own?
