ESPN.com - Page2 - Worst Pro Teams of All-time: "7. 1962 Mets (40-120)
Casey Stengel knew what he had to work with.
'When one of them hits a single to you,' he advised his outfielders, 'throw the ball to third. That way we can hold them to a double.' "
Classic.

Tech News - CNET.com Rockin' on without Microsoft
Great story on Ernie Ball (they make guitar strings), in 2000 they got jacked by M$ and the ever-evil BSA to the tune of $100,000 for having nine computers on the network that didn't have properly licensed software. Facing a $500,000 legal bill just to start the fight, Ernie Ball settled rather than litigated even though the CEO, Sterling Ball, believes to this day his company was compliant.
During the settlement negotiations, Ball made a courageous decision. He said "Fuck Microsoft"... well not literally (though on reading the story you get the feeling he did actually say that at some point), what he did say was "I don't care if we have to buy 10,000 abacuses, We won't do business with someone who treats us poorly." And then he dumped all M$ software. All of it. He's been running RedHat for three years now.
This is a great article that really cuts through all the FUD M$ puts out about Linux. Linux according to Ball has lower TCO, requires less support, increases productivity, and uses less expensive hardware. No shit.
He's also dumping Unixware because of SCO's assinine litigation against IBM over Linux:)
In close:
Sterling Ball == Hero

Fox Sues Humorist Al Franken Over Slogan (washingtonpost.com)

Ugh... this has nothing to do with anything but I switched mail clients today to uh... Outlook 2000. You see what had happened was that I wanted to run this Bayesian spam filter to see if it works. Then maybe I can sell some clients on Outlook with super spam filtering for the people that complain.

Georgy For Governor Blog: "Onto an inexperinced, yet high profile, candidate I haven't addressed much - Arnold. To those who cite Proposition 49 as 'experience,' realize this is Arnold's PR machine at work. The proposition simply earmarked existing funds, it did not give any new funds to the school system, just rearranged how they were spent. The crafty proposition did, however, set a stage in the minds of Californians, upon which Arnold is now acting out his political fantasy. Today, it's quite possible anyone who loves the Terminator, but wonders about his ability to govern, will think back to last year, faintly recollecting Arnold spearheaded prop 49, and subsequently convincing himself it's ok to vote for Arnold. This is what he's hoping for, I'm hoping people will see thru this blatant manipulation of the electorate, and ask the Terminator, how exactly do you plan to pump up the economy? I've been asked a wide array of questions, and have tried to answer as many as possible directly in emails or through my issue positions. If Arnold were subject to this depth and breadth of questioning, I guarantee Arnold would 'falter,' wondering where his teleprompter is, resorting to the 'I'll be back' defense and running for the nearest advisor.

sacbee.com -- AP State Wire News -- Report: Marines dropped devices similar to Napalm on Iraqi troops
And...?
Put another way, whether I agree with the war or not, once we go, we go. Surrender was always an alternative for the Iraqi army. It worked pretty well in the first Gulf War.
