Unit Test: "assert children not in Aaron" (Python)
Old English folk poem:
They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common'
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.
- Silent Theft, David Bollier (via Gary Ruskin, Commercial Alert)

Andrew Stone: "If you want bloated, buggy, over-promised, under-delivered software, then Big is Beautiful. If the best the free market can do is produce yet another insecure Windoze MeMeMe, then it's time to rediscover what free means."
Andrew Stone: 'Here's how to create a multi-document word processor that has support for graphics, colors, rulers, alignment, super and subscripting, baseline control, UNICODE, kerning, and it reads and writes RTF and RTFD files: 1. In Project Builder, select "New Project...", choose "Cocoa Document-based Application", and save it.'
Patrick Nielsen Hayden: "Typical 'blame-America-first' liberal! Andrew Sullivan would have made short work of her."
<AaronSw> I wonder if Bruce Sterling connects to IRC through sterling.freenode.net
<rillian> it's a thought
<rillian> perhaps you should ask him how he feels about that
<AaronSw> Man! We should have talked OpenCola into buying a doctorow.openprojects.net when they had cash...
