The only way around Microsoft

The only way around Microsoft

[Rick A. Hohensee]

This is to announce my availability for President of the United States of
America. I am a 46 year old US citizen. My platform is extreme openness.
As President, I will install high-quality motion-picture cameras
everywhere I sleep, with some distribution mechanism for the interested
adult public to audit the produce of such cameras. Rest assured, there is
currently no reason to suspect that such cameras would detect anything
notable. As President, I will make every effort to release most
government-held secrets. Under me, the Executive Branch will convert all
personal IBM PC-type computers to unix-like or other open-source operating
systems. Et cetera. Extreme openness. I will accept the nomination of
either major US political party. If I don't get a major nomination or huge
independant support, I support the Democratic Party candidate. Until
subsumed by a major established party, consider me the leader of the
"Responsible Party".

Something tells me I won't be getting much sleep as President.

Penguin #1 gets his caviar from Microsoft. I'll probably make the State
Department use Plan 9.

Oh by the way, I need hackers for my cabinet. I have the US Code on my FTP
site,
        ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/install/clienux/packages

It took a week to pull it out of the retarded privatized interface the GPO
has it behind. Talk about bloat. It makes Common Lisp look like Chuck
Moore's latest Forth chip. I also need somebody to liberate the CFR, the
Code of Federal Regulations.

I need some people that haven't forgotten how to use a computer to do
basic cleanups like convert "intelligence" in the CIA sense to "strinfo",
shut down the war on herbs, eliminate using the tax laws as a form of
subsidy, et cetera. The better hackers will get cabinet positions.
Otherwise I'll promote from the existing staff.

I don't read much fiction. Besides, like, the Washington Post. I'll have
to check out that Clancy title. Hmmmm, what was the last fiction I read?
"Tipping the Velvet". About a lesbian hooker in London before the
automobile. Didn't finish it.
