The keynote address at #atllinuxfest 2009
Well, get ready for some neo-con bitching about Obama’s administration reversing the Bush-era decision to build a “missile defense” shield in Poland. Get ready for some talk of Russian pandering, appeasement, blah blah blah.
The problem with all of this? There is no such thing as a “missile defense” shield. It doesn’t exist. It’s vaporware. All the trials of this kind of technology have been miserable failures.
It’d be like someone being outraged if I told them, “No — I’ve decided *not * to build that time machine in your house.”
Regardless of the fact that I never was intending to do it in the first place.
Regardless of the fact that time machines don’t really exist.
Just had to resort to using the terminal on MacOSX to fix a problem — figures!
