    • scheisse… getting gcc on os x requires a 1GB xcode dl? what an f’d up OS #
    • @webmink UK passport office sounds every bit as "efficient" as the US equivalent. ugh. #
    • @fus‭ion94 you misspelled ‘ubuntu’ there 🙂 #
    • @fusion94 doh! my bad #
    • @cdibona OMG, somebody forgot to take down their april fools prank. I mean, that’s a joke, right??? #
    • @cote well in that case, I guess I have nothing to worry about #
    • @teich although this particular candidate was lame, I have to disagree on your overall sentiment #
    • @teich I’m really tired of this BS ‘yeah it’s 40 hours but you’re really gonna work more than that and screw you if you don’t like it’ #
    • @teich if we were smart we’d unionize but everyone thinks they’re so fucking exceptional #
    • @teich that’s true – it’s a pointless question in an interview and likely to be fudged. #
    • @teich tee hee 🙂 many would agree with you. for me, I think UAW has made any sort of worker organization a political hot potato. that’s … #

    • @cote ads suck. ‘conversational marketing’ is the buzzword for what you guys already do #
    • opensolaris install is sloooow – in the time it took me to install it and get something running, I dl’d, installed, and ran ubuntu 8.04 #
    • #opensolaris – also, need to make it easier for text-only installs (and running the installed OS without X) #
    • @mjasay true… but I’d *really* like to see opensolaris succeed #

  • Yet another reason not to drive

    As if there weren’t enough already, including skyrocketing gas prices and pollution, now we can add “might get shot” to the list.See this latest incident in San Francisco. It’s getting *scary* out there.

  • Return of the Quakes – Home Opener vs. Chicago

    It’s been almost 3 years since I last saw the earthquakes play live – and now we’ll get that chance again. Unfortunately, it just had to coincide with Lug Radio Live, which I must attend for BytesFree.org.This Saturday the Quakes take on the Fire in the same big-ass stadium in the east bay where the Raiders and A’s play. What is it, again? Oh yeah, the coliseum.So while I’ll have to miss it, *you* can still go, and you should. Unfortunately, I’ve already given away my tickets to some other lucky individual, so you’ll have to get yours elsewhere 😉

  • Public Knowledge Commends International Consumer Net Neutrality Resolution

    The Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD), earlier this week approved, and presented to representatives of the U.S. government, a resolution in favor of policies that will promote a non-discriminatory Internet. The TACD is a group of 60 consumer and public-interest organizations from the European Union and the U.S. More background on the organization is found at www.tacd.org.

    The resolution, adopted at a TACD meeting in Washington, D.C., found that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) “have the technical ability to act as gatekeepers, blocking or degrading consumers’ access to certain content and applications, or limiting the types of equipment that can be attached to the network. Such behavior can severely limit the usefulness of the Internet and frustrate consumers’ aims.”

  • BytesFree.org at Lug Radio Live USA

    I’m happy to announce that BytesFree.org will be represented at its first event, Lug Radio Live, which will be held at the Metreon in San Francisco on April 12th and 13th. It’s quite a challenge to get things going organizationally, and this looks to be a pretty rewarding experience.

    We will have a table at the expo. Also, Ilan and I will be speaking on Sunday at 3pm.

    If you’d like to come by and say hello, or if you’re interested in volunteering, please do let us know.
