Movies That Will Piss Off The CAPAlert Guy - from Brunching Shuttlecocks. We've talked about this Christian movie review psycho before, some time around Battlefield Earth ... and now he's gone silly with X-Men.

Hi everybody! I'm Maxwell! I'm an artificially sweetened, pseudo-intellectual, wannabe radical construct owned by microsoft who's sole purpose in life is to make people believe that this truly evil company is actually made up of pasty faced honkies with an aww-shucks innocence about them who are all trying desperately to help as many people as possible get around the big scary internet.

partially, this article is just an excuse to point all of you preverts to BeOSCentral, which is kinda like a slashdot for the be enthusiast. on it's own, the article raises a lot of the less obvious issues about open source and and corporate tokenism. so stop masturbating for two seconds and read it.

Check out a review of us on BallPointPress.com, a new blog from one of our (dis)loyal listeners -

My Bong Runs Linux is an Internet radio show by 2 really smart guys named Creon and Rhino. They have a nice reparté going, making them quite entertaining together. Creon's girlish giggling might annoy some people, or have them questioning his... status. The bottom line is that what they are saying is insightful, delivered with hilarious cynicism, and intelligence. You will become a smarter computer user and get more out of the Net by listening to these guys.

Listen Now, Damnit!! Episode 7 is out! And the production values are *much* better.

Your mission this week: Get us Iron Chef .rm's or .mpeg's!

TV/Cable Anarchy ... for entertainment (wink) purposes (wink wink) only (say no more). So you can watch Iron Chef if you don't have the Food Network. And then make us tapes. Who loves ya, baby?

Iron Chef gay sex fiction. Um, ok. Sure, why not. If someone can get off from "Iron Chef Fellatio, Iron Chef Frottage" etc., more power to the lonely fucker. I just think it's fucking funny.

Sure, they can't spell for shiite, but this "Survivor" parody featuring hotshot FPS game designers is a great idea. First off the island? John "Daikatana" Romero.

}-{ello my future girlfriend ... the most pathetic website ever. So bad, in fact, one guy made a scary techno remix of his sad plea for friends. For more pathetic, homely, loser guys, check out "How Fresh is This Guy?"

And don't forget ... BIBLEMAN!

Can we kill them NOW, PLEASE!?! I think a lot of people, a frightening number working in IT, just don't understand the harm that M$ causes, and the brazenness of their lies and bullshit. What pisses me off is that the cattle that have taken over the web will "upgrade" to IE 5.5 just because it's on their Windows box, and the beat will go on. You never lose betting on the stupidity of people.

I gotta agree with a post on Metafilter for this one - Ridley Scott "revealed" that Deckard (from Blade Runner) was a replicant. Why the fuck would he do this? Was there a burning rampage of people, beating down his door, wanting complete clarification? Does his "revelation" really change how we can watch the film? What a bitch. I really love Blade Runner, I don't need him spelling out subtext to me.

Is it just me, or does the animated GIF on Linuxsucks.com make no sense? This site seems as much pro-Linux as anti- ... dunno, I think Linus had a hand in this somewhere.

This cover is of the new Linux distro of the People's Republic of China, Red Flag! "Microsoft’s expected response to Red Flag–Linux will be Windows 2000." Riiiight. And my response to Micro$oft is EAT ME.

You know, under the "accusations" of socialism that Linux has garnered, I love this China move. It's sure to *really* piss off the industrialists. One big reason China would like to use Linux is that they have huge amounts of aging and nearing obsolete computers, and it's gettin' hard to run Windows' bloated carcass software.

Sean Connery's been knighted. Not just for his service in film, mind you, but also for his stellar performances on Celebrity Jeopardy. Search for "celeb jeop" in Gnutella, and see for yourself.

Rejoice, goat children, Episode 6 is LIVE. In this episode, we slander MICROS~1 .Net crap, the gettin' laid weblog, Savage Love, those freaky commercials with Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates talking like Mr. Rogers at Comdex, the Moaning Goat Meter, whether I'm gay 'cause I laugh like a girl, and much much more ...

... and for you crack babies, even a little more Battlefield-friggin'-Earth.
