Before we embark on "charter" schools, read this Mr. Key: http://identi.ca/url/64198123

How is it possible that this never gets old?! I laugh out loud each time I read it. http://xkcd.com/327/

Wonder what per-seat rate MS is crediting themselves for this "$1 mill" donation... http://is.gd/Upq5xp #retail? with a 90% profit margin?

Dave Lane

Interesting repercussions: NYC says a corporation is not a person (contrary to past rulings). http://identi.ca/url/63914478

Finding Twitter's web interface painful. Almost always have to redo tweets due to "you have to refresh this page" errors. Others?

RMS absolved. Having met him, he's way less "extremist" and a lot more "humanitarian" than most people think. http://identi.ca/url/63676315

I feel really bad for Nokia (& Finland) - http://identi.ca/url/63676325 With partners like MS, who needs competition?

Dave Lane

The US needs to be kneecapped on this one. http://identi.ca/url/63676272 #USforeignpolicysucks #UScorporatocracy #corruption

Very cool (but odd) story. http://identi.ca/url/62829751

A useful illustration - patents hurt people, only most people don't have perspective to understand why. http://identi.ca/url/63676086

The reason I didn't choose vi over emacs originally was that I found the modal interface bent my brain. Bent brain hurts.

Dave Lane Guy K. Kloss

Heh - have used emacs daily for 15 years. Not about to forget it. Just broadening my horizons :)

Dave Lane

Right. In this time of flux, I've had an epiphany. Decided to jump ship from Emacs to Vim. Let the holy war commence.

Dave Lane

Periodically I have an angry day. It's usually comment threads on various pundits' websites (rife with win/mactards) that cop it. :)

Dave Lane

Why does this not surprise me? http://identi.ca/url/56525895 US, your righteous stupidity brings me to tears.

How to make a business of selling free software... http://vimeo.com/29401659 FOSS is not a business model, it's a tactic.

Dave Lane

Fascinating: the risk of copyright in the medical system... http://identi.ca/url/63574456 Proposed solution? Use FOSS licenses.

Worth noting: none of this great stuff has anything to do with Christmas as such. We could designate any day for family and giving.

Dave Lane

It's been wonderful exchanging gifts with my wife and boys - the elder now old enough to appreciate the process. He's loving it.

Dave Lane

Ah, Christmas morning - what better time for a Tim Minchin-a-thon! http://identi.ca/url/63034854
