This is a homemade 12 x CD-R (!) compilation of punk bands fronted by female vocalists from 1977 to 1989. You may notice that some of the bands didn't have a steady female vocalist (The Lewd, etc.) but he still included songs that were sung by another member of the band. This is as international as it gets, with stuff ranging from world famous Blondie or Crass to the most obscure Eastern European cassette compilation veterans.Kängnäve: A Reference Of Female-Fronted Punk Rock: 1977-89.

I am reading the feeds without a care in the world when suddenly I notice a line in Dutch in an entry of a.wholelottanothing.org. Well, that's weird...
Although I am sure Matt Haughey has many skills I doubt writing in Dutch is one of them, so I went to his site and noticed the line in Dutch is actually a video from garage.tv. Also with Dutch ads on it....apparently those bastards automatically assume I am a Dutch speaking visitor (and prefer to be addressed to in Dutch), probably based on my IP or something.

Didn't they at garage.tv learn that assuming things based on a common parameter kinda equals stupidity?
We love cool gadgets as much as anybody else. We just want to be thoughtful about the stuff we've bought. Even the most cutting-edge, tech-savvy geeks in the world are choosing to hang on to their phones or their iPods that still work just fine.lastyearsmodel.org
Open source - the once and future dreamSo where does the chain-reaction go from here and where will FOSS be in the next 10 years? The challenges are significant, and they're largely issues unresolved from the previous 10 years: intellectual property, companies' struggle to make money on a decent scale, tensions between the idealists and the more commercially minded members of the community, and the struggle to convince corporate users to participate and actually give back.
They are challenges that, if solved, could see FOSS and Linux hit a whole new level in the next 10 years, but if unresolved permit uncertainty to fester in a way that ultimately limits their business and technological growth.
Officially there is no rss-feed available of your friends status updates on Facebook, but luckily there is a way around this. Because I wanted to get the status to appear in Gwibber, I did a search and came across a comment on techlifeweb.com.
