Off-topic oddity I felt compelled to share:

While driving by the Portland Convention Center last week, I noticed this sign advertising an event:

OPSOCON 2007

brought to by:

Microsoft

lol or am I missing something?
(OPSOCON is Open Source Convention, btw)

LOL. That is kinda amusing...MS, of all people, supporting OpenSource. I thought the OS idea was the antichrist according to MS.

Well MS is good at re-inventing things. Integrating things like mediaplayer, browser, and such goodies into an OS core are good examples. We all know how many original "features" were in IE7 for example. Akin to reinventing the round wheel into a square one.
