Re: [BLUG] Best of BLUG #2: Bill Gates posts to the list

What's kinda funny is that this happens enough that Bill Gates could
get away with doing it himself. Plausible deniability or something like
that. Of course, it would cost him nearly $40,000 in lost time to do
it.

Re: [BLUG] Linux in Commercial Aircraft

Sorry for dredging up these old threads as I clean out this inbox. I took a couple photos as the in-flight entertainment system rebooted 2-3 times on takeoff. Finally, after it appeared it had been frozen for about 20 minutes, it started playing Indiana Jones 4 at a random point in the first 1/3rd of the movie.

In the college mall in Bloomington, one of the photo booths had crashed one time .... it was a GTK error in GIMP. Looked to be running in KNOPPIX. My wife had no idea what I was so excited about ...

In line with David's post I was recently on a flight where the aircraft had touch screens (select movies etc). As we were in the process of being pushed back from the gate the airline lost what appeared to be all power (it was certainly not the normal chain of events). When the power came back on the inflight entertainment system started. In the row in front I noticed one screen displaying output - looking closer I saw the typical linux boot up messages! Made me chuckle - I wasn't aware of this. The airline was Air Canada, eh.

Wow, I guess I need to check this account more often. As far as the original post, I believe this was my doing ;).
