Thank goodness, the Senate killed the “Big-Three-Bailout” last night. I guess they too realize that we live in a capitalist economy. That means that if your product sucks, then you go out of business.
Bye bye Unions, GM, Ford, and Chrysler. We won’t miss you.
ABC News has more.

Imagine this, you’re in class, at work, wherever, and you give a Linux distro to a buddy. Out of nowhere, you are tackled by Knoxville’s finest and thrown in jail for illegally distributing software without paying for it! Well, it’s not that bad, but it is that stupid.
From PC PRO News:
A teacher has thrown a student into detention and threatened to call the police for using Linux in her classroom.The teacher spotted one of her students giving a demonstration of the HeliOS distro to other students. In a somewhat over-the-top reaction, she confiscated the CDs, put the student on detention and whipped off a letter to the HeliOS Project threatening to report it to the police for distributing illegal software.
“I am sure you strongly believe in what you are doing but I cannot either support your efforts or allow them to happen in my classroom,” writes the teacher, identified only as Karen.
“At this point, I am not sure what you are doing is legal. No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful. I will research this as time allows and I want to assure you, if you are doing anything illegal, I will pursue charges as the law allows.
Of course, the guys from Helios wrote a reply. Here’s an excerpt:
“Please…investigate to your heart’s content. Linux is a free as-in-cost and free as-in-license operating system. It was designed specifically for those purposes…
“I don’t know when you attended college Karen but the Linux of even two years ago pales in feature and ability to what there is available now… and that in turn will pale in a year’s time. Linux is superior to Microsoft Windows in so many ways, they are too numerous to mention here.”
Wow, what a moron.
All this talk about insubordination makes me wanna get my criminal on. I’m about to do something totally illegal! Here’s a link to the newest release of Ubuntu, 8.10.

Apparently Japan got the demo for Resident Evil 5, but no one else did. That’s ok, because you can download it and burn it to a disc!
Just fire up your favorite torrent program and go to this link for the torrent file.
After it is done downloading, simply the Content directory to a DVD and pop it in your 360. Navigate to the Game Library and it should be there. Best part is, its all in English.
UPDATE: You may need to disconnect from XBL and all profiles to run this demo.
Enjoy!
