Over the last few days I’ve been watching season 1 of the British version of The Office. I’ve come to the conclusion that to say, “the American The Office is based on the British The Office” is a gross understatement.

As 2008 has proven – draconian digital restrictions management (DRM) does not stop people from illicitly using computer games. Spore, whose DRM was so bad they got ratings bombed on Amazon.com, was the most pirated game of 2008. The DRM caused hassles for legitimate users and did nothing to stop illicit use. This is always [...]

Now that I have “I’m Not Mad” caught up for the next month, I thought it was an OK time to upgrade to Fedora 10. Unlike with the Fedora 9 release, there haven’t been huge complaints of the upgrade causing the system to become unusable. (Most, though not all, of that came from the version [...]
