is mad as
mung.
I finally got the hardware
to build my own
FreeBSD box. Let's hope this isn't too humbling an experience.
Lincoln Stein : The Web Is Not TV
"In this uncertain environment, how comforting it is to pretend that the Web is just a super-duper form of television, that ISPs are equivalent to the broadcast networks, and that Web sites and portals are equivalent to the TV studios that create sitcoms!"
I think I'll make my first million
setting up an online bazaar where people can buy, sell and track the
value of human organs. It could have reduced commission fees for persons in war-zones. It could have a draft-round system for nations who rank low on the Annual UN Good Times & Good Living list. And penalties for anyone who floods the market, although we'd want to make sure we weren't unnecessarily stiffling this new emerging economy. To the winner go the spoils!
