The Register | Gates: GPL will eat your economy, but BSD's cool
Bill Gates took another shot at the Open Source question last week, and came up with some interesting new spin. Essentially, if your country standardises on Linux, then you're not going to have any IT jobs in your country, says Bill...

Ha!

OBJECTIVE: Creation Education: Evolutionism Propaganda

(by Duncan, @ 10:54 PM)

via The Register - the totally gob-smacking drivel from a fundamentalist creationist in OBJECTIVE: Creation Education: Evolutionism Propaganda
However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, "lickable" buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.

and later

ADDENDUM IV (4/21/2002): Apparently anti-Christian zealots -- as well as shocked Christians who have unwittingly become Mac owners -- are linking to this article, which explains the large number of emails we have received on this topic. More clues have come in showing the dark nature of Apple Computers. According to one of our readers, the new MacOS X contains another Satanic holdover from the "BSD Unix" OS mentioned above; to open up certain locked files one has to run a program much like the DOS prompt in Microsoft Windows and type in a secret code: "chmod 666". What other horrors lurk in this thing?

XEALbc

(by Duncan, @ 2:24 PM)

I've just downloaded XEALbc:
XEALbc provides a graphical front-end to the bc command line tool that is shipped with Mac OS X, and includes optional support for the preprocessor. Equations and functions are entered in a free-form manner in a text-editing pane. When you want to see the results, just click a button (or hit enter), and see multiple lines of formatted output.
