What? Insanity! You can install mysql binaries with a few clicks but you can also do horrible things if you don’t know what you are typing? But…but…Ubuntu is perfect and your a genius if you run it because you don’t have to compile anything! This can’t be happening! My whole world is collapsing. Oh the fucking humanity!

Wherein we read stupid questions about awesome video games. Will Rock Band kill the next Green Day? Isn’t it horrible that schools cut music programs and kids have music games at home? WTF, Chron? Whatever happened to that whole ‘stepping stone’ theory that people love to attach to video games? Wont Rock Band spawn more Green Days than we know what to do with?

Taking Dumb To The Next Level
Yeah, I got the link from some smelly, hippie, leftist outfit that wants to take away your guns and make you marry somebody of the same sex…but still, this is so dumb that it takes your breath away.
It would seem that in our nation’s quest to prove to the world that we are inclusive and tolerant we have, literally, allowed those who want to kill us into some of the most sensitive areas of...

aristotle on the phony religiocity of tyrants →
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, wrongly believing that he has the Gods on his side.

Mark’s position on P2P is getting better as he reads feedback. This is a good thing because this guy has enough money to influence things and it would suck if he went down the “ruin the internet” road.

He doesn’t always get it. Blizzard uses “freeloading P2P traffic” to distribute their little game. It’s called World of Warcraft. Maybe you’ve heard of it? P2P does not equal piracy and people like Cuban know better, or at least should.
