Some idiot tried to add a link to his gambling website on the midrange resources website.

Obviously I rejected it … but after I rejected it, I got this reply…

I sure hope this guy realizes how devastating this message was on my ego and psyche?

NOT!

… a transit company is suing a group of ten cleaning women in France, because they are car pooling instead of continuing to use their service … The transit company lawyers call that “unfair and parasitical competition.” They are asking for damages, including fines and — believe it or not — confiscation of the women’s cars.

– GROKLAW

Uh huh … yeah. Right.

This falls under the: We know we can’t provide good service, so we’ll just sue the competition into oblivion … and if we can’t sue the competition, we’ll sue the end user / consumer.

Highlander TV star Adrian Paul said on his official Web site that he will executive-produce and star in a fifth movie in the SF franchise, which is currently in script stage, with an eye to a production start in Eastern Europe later this year.

– Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel

Will they PLEASE let this thing die!

The reality is the web site is full of misinformation, including the people who are actually running it, and when you get to the point when you start to strip away the people that are in front of Groklaw I think you’ll find that Pamela Jones is not who she says she is, and the key to finding out who is behind Groklaw is to understand who is Pamela Jones

– SCO blames Groklaw for IP licensing disappointment – Computer Business Review

This was from conference call when it announced a net loss of $3m on revenue down 22% from $11.4m to $8.9m.

Basically McBride is saying: It’s all HER fault!

And, in a chat with my friend Jim said …

mcbride is a raving mad lunatic who should be <censored>. pj is not a sinister person and groklaw is not some evil plot … i really wish there was some way i could take action. sco is so close you would think there is something i could do about them. mcbride’s “digging to the bottom of this (pj identity)” is unethical, immoral, … makes me mad. it turns the issue away from “is the info on groklaw accurate” to “is pj satan”

To be honest … I’m getting tired of this who SCO vs. Linux thing … I really wish the judge’s involved would just say “Ok, put your cards on the table” and get everything out so we can see the truth.

Oh man … talk about a scene …

I was at Galyans after work today to see about getting some stuff for our upcoming vacation.

Also at the store was a family … a mother and 3 children. Two of the children were fine… but a third (the youngest, I think, probably around 10) was absolutely pitching a huge fit. Screaming and yelling, running around, and generally carrying on. The mother was absolutely oblivious to it. She was calmly browsing through the racks of gear & clothes, without paying the slightest bit of attention (or, it seems, even noticing) her kid that was making a nuisance of herself.

As it happens Galyans doesn’t carry Teva’s or swimsuits when it’s off season… so I left. Had I not left when I did, I was sorely tempted to go up to that woman and yell at her to CONTROL YOUR DAMN CHILD.

I swear, that kid needed a good slap. The mother too for that mater.
