This is starting to get really interesting....just look at some of the names on the list....I wonder how this will effect Novell's stock in the long run...will it help or hurt? This isn't going to effect MS in any bad way at best it will continue to scare possible Windows runaways into staying with MS....what are your thoughts?
Sign the Petition By Bruce Perens, creator of Electric Fence and Busybox
this starting to sprout all sorts of theories....

My Grannie Has Gone Home
This is more of a celebration than a mourning....she was a follower of Christ and the strength in many Thomas' lives....I so look forward to seeing here in Heaven when I get there. My family however need your prayers.. look at the pic...its soooooo funny how much I look like her and I never noticed it until I took this picture with her and looked at it when I got home. It was taken months ago. my father has now lost his mother, his mommy, most definitely part of his heart. Please keep him in prayer and pray that I can be a source of strength for him in this time as we lay to rest the body of one of the most influential women in my life. Much love and God bless

Happy Begger Udates Encode360
Encode360, the next step in video transcoding
Encode360 is a slightly more automated method to re-encoding media to WMV compatible with the Xbox 360 than the previous wme360 batch file.
Some features:
* Automatically checks for necessary components (FFMpeg, FFDShow, WMCMD)
* Automatically determines the correct FPS to use when encoding
* Point the script at a folder and it'll encode all valid video file formats (Tested against Xvid and Divx. Others might have problems, but we can look into these as they happen)
* Drop a file onto it, and it'll encode just that file
* Select multiple files and drag/drop - it'll process them sequentially
* Ability to move encoded files to a separate folder
* Ability to move processed files to a separate folder

Microsoft is at it again
"Microsoft is profiting from punishment...The company has been obliged to open up its protocols as a result of the Antitrust settlement in the US, but the fees it's charging don't reflect that it was found guilty, and is being punished....they should be licensed for free.
...If you're creating a piece of network software or hardware that needs to talk to a Microsoft file system - a printer, storage server, or a piece of middleware - you must agree to pay Microsoft $50,000 up front in Prepaid Royalties. The fee then depends on how many users the product has, and what is accessed....

Add-on PlayStation 3 HDD will run Linux
News at GameSpot:
Ken Kutaragi reveals the console's hard drive will use alternate OS, hints that it will ship separately and will come in more than one model.
Since E3, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi has been calling the PlayStation 3 an 'entertainment supercomputer' rather than a gaming console. Now, he's revealed a new plan to make sure that it's acknowledged as one.
In an interview with Impress PC Watch, Kutaragi disclosed that he plans to install the Linux operating system on the PS3's hard disc drive (HDD) so it will be recognized as a computer, rather than a mere console."

Open letter to Apple about its marriage with Intel
WOW......just WOW!
"Dear Apple, I am among the many switchers you successfully brought to your platform. And now I plan to switch back. Simply put, after reading this press release, I no more think the Mac has any future as an interesting hardware or software platform. I further believe that you have made such a bafflingly shortsighted decision that I worry about the sanity of your management staff, enough to dread more of these moves. I also disbelieve most of the claims that have been made today as purely hilarious.
I do not expect you to keep reading beyond the latest paragraph but I'll keep typing anyway."

YES! - Protect our Children
BetaNews | New 'XXX' Domains for Adult Web Sites: "New 'XXX' Domains for Adult Web Sites
By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
June 2, 2005, 11:56 AM
Internet users looking for -- or blocking -- pornography will have a much easier time thanks to a new top-level domain name just approved by ICANN. The group responsible for overseeing the world's domain names approved the '.xxx' domain, which British company ICM Registry will be in charge of managing.
The new domains could appear as soon as the end of the year, according to ICANN. Dot-xxx was part of 9 other new domains being considered by the organization. Consumers will be able to purchase the new domains for $60 per year. ICM says it will work with companies to voluntarily move them over to the new domain in order to help protect children from seeing inappropriate content."

Migrating from Windows to Linux?

One of the biggest difficulties in migrating from Windows to Linux is the lack of knowledge about comparable software. Newbies usually search for Linux analogs of Windows software, and advanced Linux-users cannot answer their questions since they often don't know too much about Windows :). This list of Linux equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software is based on our own experience and on the information obtained from the visitors of this page (thanks!)."
