Bruce Stirling's ...uhm... rant at OSCON

It's very ...uhm... like Stirling.  Entertaining without clogging your head
with too much ...uhm... hard stuff.  But definitely entertaining.

  [from the MS-as-agar-medium section]

  I had a long argument about this with Cory Doctorow. He and I were
  really going at this hammer-and-tongs, over the growing spam and
  virus crisis.  And I thought that there needed to be some kind of
  political and legal solution.  Like building a galvanized steel cage
  in Cuba and throwing all the spammers and virus writers in there as
  unlawful combatants who are clear and present deadly enemies of
  humanity.

  AUDIENCE: YAAAY!!! (Applause) 

For the rest of the "over 5,400 words of diffuse Papal-Imperial ranting
to a restive audience of Linux freaks", just follow the blinking link:

Okay, I left off the blink tags because it was long enough already. 
Imagine it blinking... g'wan, you can do it!
