Think about all the fun you can have with a spare wireless access point and a Linux box. Let's see what we whave here...

It may be just a joke...

I received this in an e-mail yesterday:

Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Cokie Roberts, and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were all captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.

Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowlful of hot spicy chili." The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die content."

Peter Jennings said, "I am Canadian, so I'd like to hear the song, "O Canada" one last time." The leader nodded to a terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag Musicians and played the anthem. Jennings sighed and declared he could now die peacefully.

Cokie Roberts said, "I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end."

The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Roberts dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."

The leader turned and said, "And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish?"

"Kick me in the rear," said the Marine.

"What?" asked the leader. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"

"No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the rear," insisted the Marine.

So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the rear. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he lept to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine and sprayed the Iraqis with gunfire. In a flash, all the Iraqis were either dead or fleeing for their lives.

As the Marine was untying Rather, Jennings, and Roberts, they asked him, "Why didn't you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you in the rear first?"

"What," replied the Marine, "and have the three of you report that I was the aggressor?"

See what a good Marine has to do to work around the liberal media?

Border Agents headed to prison for doing their jobs

1/5/2007

Two U.S. Border Patrol Agents have been sentenced to a decade long prison terms for apprehending an illegal alien at our border!

Almost as outrageous is that the illegal alien drug smuggler, who was given immunity for testifying against the agents is now suing the U.S. for $5 million, claiming he was permanently injured!

I have just signed a petition calling for the President to pardon these two Border Agents and I’m asking you to join with me by clicking here for the full story and the petition:

Windows screwup forces Ubuntu shift

From: The Inquirer :
YOU NEVER QUITE wrap your head around how anti-consumer Microsoft's policies are until they bite you in the bum. Add in the customer antagonistic policies of its patsies, HP in this case, and vendors like Promise, and you have quite a recipe for pain. Guess what I did today? Read the rest...

I agree, by locking down everything so far, what was their market has no choice by to go elsewhere. What is Microsoft's loss is Ubuntu's gain...
