Slog - Comments on The Week in Geek http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/the_week_in_geek_9 "Choosing a bunk bed is a lot like choosing any other kind of mattress, but there are some specific considerations to keep in mind. It’s very important to buy a mattress that fits your bunk bed frame, and comfort and style will definitely be factors in your decision as well."

Maybe you should change it to "The Week in Other News Sources Which Are Targetted At Geeks."

Also, first no mention of the San Diego Comic Con when that was going on, but now no mention of PAX, which is going on RIGHT NOW, IN SEATTLE?

The legal rights of spammers to spam unmolested now puts us all at risk. Anyone who doesn't think they could do this to the US doesn't understand how botnets work. This is far more dangerous than any bogus WMD canister of gas on the subway bullshit.

The panflute flowchart is conclusive proof of the perfection of the universe.

Even if they're the botnet haven.

I was a lad in Pittsburgh, Pa. We didn't have shields
because we were hardcore.

OMG, that is soooo stupid. Doesn't the FBI have better things to do with its time?!? And I think it is hilarious that this guy has no problem doing the jail time, but doesn't want to give up Linux for Microsoft. hehe. That just cracks me up. Of course, I would feel the same way, only with my Mac OS instead of Linux. Does that make me an übernerd? heh. I hope this guy gets his linux box!!! Go linux geeks!!! Yah!!!
