Jesux: A Linux distribution for Christian hackers

Jesux: The distribution that will not lead you into temptation:

Jesux (pronounced Hay-sooks) is a new Linux distribution for Christian hackers, schools, families, and churches. There is already a core distribution being prepared, based on RedHat's distribution.

Jesux will aim to be an environment that is pleasant for Christians to work in, with all the amenities a Christian might expect, and when possible, free from worldly influences.

Some considered features:

... function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas would be changed.

• abort(3)
• kill(1)
• references to "daemon"

The only problem I see is that if it ever crashes it takes three days to reboot and afterward the OS only appears to believers.

Too good to be true, you ask?

Science Is Awesome!

Improving fuel cells through farting!

It works like this: giving small jolts of electricity to single-celled microorganisms known as archea prompts them to remove C02 from the air and turn it into methane, released as tiny "farts." The methane, in turn, can be used to power fuel cells or to store the electrical energy chemically until its needed.

Maker Faire!

Where all (or most) of my interests collide in one big pile of awesomeness.

Maker Faire Bay Area is at the San Mateo County Expo Center on May 30th and 31st. We will be going on the Saturday, I don't care what I have to do to get there. Tickets are already on sale, and will be at the discounted price until 5/20.

I can't wait! I may have to rent a wheelchair just to haul my butt around without collapsing, but I am SO excited!

I just had to give public props to Elex for delivering the IT Crowd's emergency number on the fly, the other day. If you don't know what I'm talking about go here and be enlightened.

Battlestar 9

Far too perfect.

Giddy, Yes, Giddy

I will be buying a Wii or PS3 by September.

Why?

Well, go here and that'll tell you why.

I am giddy.

It'll have a Höfner Bass in the bundle pack.

I am so very giddy.

EDIT: The funny in today's Penny Arcade! has been expanded with this knowledge. (It's possibly very offensive for some people out there. Oh, well.)

Who Was Which Star Wars Character?

Former President Jar Jar, from scanners, attempts to give some answers.

This is NOT a Fail!

This is just spider FTW!

Yay World!
