Nope, it's still there at that address, but NewsForge is obviously some POS "open sores" code that fucks URLs up in some way. You should see the link from the site though.

Now anti-terrorist tips for geeks. ESR, a genuine wanker...

 
Well, he's certainly a great spokesman for Linux (3.00 / 1) (#4)

one begins to get an idea why Linux devotees have such a bad reputation among serious IT professionals.

I wonder what other genius steps he will come up with next. I can guess I bet. So far the governments reaction has been calm, a lot calmer than most peoples. I'm glad because I really don't want to have to drive to Canada.

Maybe not just shoot him.

Why not give him a free ticket for a ride on a hijacked plane ?
Then he can prove how heroic he really is and whether his gun can save his life.

Maybe that plane could then crash on Disneyland ?
(with everyone evacuated before, of course !)
Now that would be a real show !

But who would coordinate fetchmail development ? (3.00 / 1) (#7)

Come on, I dislike ESR as much as the next man, but credit where credit is due, his contributions to the Open Source community rank right up there with RMS, Linus, and Alan Cox.
