As a lazy Debian user, I checked all of these and found none on Debian repositories, which due to Ubuntu and other direct or indirect derivatives is probably the best way of making such software widely available and known.

I hope someone writes it up. It seems very strange, and we need to stop what seems to me a suicide wave in the last few years in the free software community.

Just because he’s paranoid, it does not mean he never (even if accidentally) hits on the truth. This may be a case. It certainly feels like that, see donglegate and the last high-profile defection from the Linux (kernel) development.

Kind of ironical that the lousy layout & typography of the book gives away MS Word usage (confirmed by PDF metadata), and that the Risc emulator available at http://ProjectOberon.com/ is for MS Windows. Self defeating?

Neither North Korea (nor Cuba, nor Muslim Arab countries) are under any risk. South Korea (and the US, and Israel) are only convenient strawmen to prop tyrannies.

Yes, if a plane explodes with a nuclear bomb, the centre of the explosion would be quite distinctive. We might not be able to tell for sure which plane it was, but we would know which planes were in the airport, perhaps which were around t

Why say ‘probably since the Cuban missile crisis’, when it is common knowledge, easily accessible, that the nuclear scare is even older, since Stalin had the Soviet bomb test and mounted on viable vectors in the early to mid fifties?

They do live in a controlled environment. And this is a reference hospital for infection control. I know a nurse who was once one in charge of infection control in the child’s ward — actually, a smaller hospital of its own in the main hos

I actually collaborated with the Evangelical chaplaincy in that hospital for a few years, when I lived at that city. I knew Paulo and we became friends, but I have not kept in contact since I first left São Paulo and got married. When I d
