SCO vs Linux
OK, This is truly geek stuff.SCO has claimed IBM and others have stolen their Unix code and stuffed it into Linux. Even the guy who Linux is named after, Linus Torvalds, is in the SCO's sites. I would have linked Linus' site, but it is dreadful. Slashdot has kept up with the trouble. I'm not sure what the exact trouble is. IBM has made few comments. Some Linux organizations have said "put up or shut up" to SCO. Some other company says they really own the patents. What a mess.

Poor Kid
Try this link, I hope it still works. A page should pop up with two links. They are to videos of some poor sap who forgot to remove a tape from a camera at his school. He does this Darth Maul Jedi move with a stick and nearly falls on his butt a couple of times. I hope he has a sense of humor and no pride.

Alien IV (maybe it is V)
They are playing Alien IV on regular television. It is no wander cable and satellite television have taken over the medium. Regular TV just doesn't make sense any more. Every curs word and every sexual innuendo have been over dubbed. It makes the movie experience drag down. I have it on CD somewhere. I should dig up the original and watch it. Rider does play a hot little android-next-door though. This movie has one really cool side note. The captain tosses a grenade into an escape pod just as it launches. As soon as the pod is a safe distance away, he pushes a button on the “spoon” and the pod blows into a million pieces. That is pretty sweet, as long as all grenades have a unique coded “spoon”..
