Reject the Herd

Well for professional reasons I loaded up Vista Ultimate on my desktop. I created a tarball of my trusty Gentoo and dove into installing Vista. Since I'm running a dual core AMD64 with 8 Gig of RAM I went with the 64 Bit version on Vista. The install was a basic Microsoft install, pretty brain dead. Once it was loaded up and I applied all the patch's I went sniffing around. I absolutely hated it, they bury everything and make it so damn convoluted to get to anything. But I was determined to make a good honest effort at it. The system was noticeably slower than my Gentoo even with all the eye candy of 3D, transparency turned on with Gentoo it still runs circles around Vista.

Very well said Kieth and as always you ROCK!

I decided to put this in a blog entry because I seem to be saying it over and over.
Proposition 8

Here is a presentation I stumbled upon by Lawrence Lessig founding board member of "Creative Commons" (one of many credits) and who is a Law Professor at Standford who gave this at Stanford. He discusses the effect of Money on credibilty/trust on where the money comes from in relation to funding, research, tests, etc. along with other effects of money in Government. It's around 50 minutes in length, pretty damn interesting not only worth a look but I highly recommend it.

Less than 5 minutes ago I had the oddest conversation. Where I work, I see lots of people. Everybody knows me, and I know them. I'm always polite to people, so sometimes people will say things they might not around other people because they are more comfortable around me.
