 December 02, 2009, Wednesday
 Holiday Meeting: Your Tips as Presents

 6:45 pm, Suspenders Restaurant

 December`s meeting will be an opportunity for an array of people to 
 illustrate their Unix hacks.

 In August, Dru Lavigne started a thread 
 (http://lists.nycbug.org/pipermail/talk/2009-August/012665.html) on 
 NYCBUG`s talk about "fave BSD tips/tricks?" that brought out some good 
 discussion. We see this meeting as a follow-up, and an opportunity to 
 give your hacks "back to the community" as a holiday gift.

 Please submit your one page PDF to admin <at> , with one, two, or even three 
 simple tips. It might be simple and seemingly stupid, but it could save 
 a few minutes a day for another developer or sysadmin in the meeting.

Is Wikipedia censorship or...

...just a bunch of conceited, immature, juvenile, control-freaks who get
picked on every day by the school bully and take it out on the Internet
when they get off the bus?

SFLC in frivolous mode again

After having read this newsgroup and learning that you must register
your BusyBox copyrights prior to filing suit for infringement, the SFLC
has filed a new lawsuit with fourteen defendants this time.

Ahhhhhh......... let the fun begin anew.

Sincerely,
Rjack :)

****************** Preemption of State law ****************************
The intention of section 301 is to preempt and abolish any rights under 
the common law or statutes of a State that are equivalent to copyright 
and that extend to works coming within the scope of the Federal 
copyright law. The declaration of this principle in section 301 is 
intended to be stated in the clearest and most unequivocal language
possible, so as to foreclose any conceivable misinterpretation of its 
unqualified intention that Congress shall act preemptively, and to avoid 
the development of any vague borderline areas between State and Federal 
protection.

Not frivolous.  If you don't want to abide by the licence,
find another software solution with a licence you do like.
...and if it was M$'s licence being violated,
Redmond would be seeking megabucks.
