I just saw, openmoko.com has changed! It's coming closer!

UPDATE: Openmoko Freerunner has long been released now, its priced at 20,000 INR in India, available from IDA Systems, Jaipur.

See this image, and you shall know, why Macs are kinda like Gods, and why you never, ever, do the stupid mistake of using a PC when a couple of Macs are around...

It was an eventful day today, with the after effects of my fscked up results of 3rd semester starting to fade away from my memory. It was eventful on what I call my home on IRC, ##linux-india.
I dare say I would be wrong if I say this is the channel to be in if you're from India, and you're a free software hacker/activist. The place is full of insane geeks and d(a)emons who want to lie around, laze, rant on every possible topic under the sun, chill out etc. Which is why, when I began encountering some funny rambles today at the channel, that my brain hit something...

Taking inspiration from bash.org, I have decided to start the "The Linux India IRC Rant Show". Its very similar to what bash.org does, except that I will post only from #l-i. I will also accept submissions from other users as well. To protect privacy, and because it isn't allowed to publicly log #l-i, I will change nicknames. Here's the master plan once more...

The Linux India IRC Rant Show
Submissions? ping me at pratulkalia+irc [at] gmail [dot] com
Better idea or suggestion? again, pratulkalia+irc [at] gmail [dot] com

Let's rock!

1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
2. Any given program costs more and takes longer.
3. If any program is useful, it will have to be changed.
4. If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
5. Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
6. The value of a program is proportional to the weight of its output.
7. Program complexity always grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it.
8. If a test installation functions perfectly, all subsequent systems will malfunction.
