A report on the occasion of his 75th birthday about Noam Chomsky - a remarkable person both as a linguist and as a political figure. And as a critic of the US government, definitely a different caliber than Michael Moore.

Sorry, as incompatible the Shockwave Rider is with Communities, that's how incompatible I am with Awards. I just find them ridiculous.

All four areas (SMP, Journaled Filesystems, NUMA, and RCU) that SCO claims were stolen were knowingly distributed by SCO themselves under the GPL (with their Linux product), explicitly promoted, and supported by employees and even actively enhanced and improved through patches by Christoph Hellwig in person. I believe SCO can expect a few problems in court.
No wonder - of course Möllemann wasn't solely responsible for the whole mess. The FDP has some skeletons in the closet. But the fact that Möllemann just slapped a million in cash on the table, that's something. Somehow I imagine dimmed lighting, smoky, raspy voices, cigar smoke. Maybe even a henchman in the background cleaning his fingernails with a switchblade.
But it probably happened much less romantically and much more mundanely than I imagine...

Wow. That would be a bombshell for the next Tour. Not only strong, motivated rivals who finally want to beat Armstrong, but also his strongest helper as a new competitor? Armstrong should already be thinking about how he'll get through a Tour like that. After all, Heras was not insignificant in some of his successes. And in the mountains, he's one of those who – if he's in good form – can definitely keep up. Even if he looked a bit thin against Armstrong and Ullrich in the mountains at the last Tour.
So let's summarize who could have ambitions for the throne: Hamilton certainly after his gigantic fourth place last year. Vinokurov definitely, his dominant third place and his fighting spirit last year were a clear sign. Beloki will certainly maybe still be a bit wobbly after his crash, but motivated for sure – after all, he kept up fantastically until his crash last year. And of course Jan Ullrich, who probably finally wants to break Armstrong's streak.
And then all the up-and-comers and the second tier – if one of them rides a good Tour, he can mix it up well. I'm thinking of the Euskatel captains for example, or Heras. I'm starting to get really excited about the next Tour, it could be really exciting.

Fitting for the Christmas season, the saber-rattling of the world's largest rogue state (hey, the US government provided that definition, and I can't help it if it perfectly applies to themselves).
