The League: Byzantium

What is wrong with these NFL owners? When I read the proposed overtime rules change I was sure I had seen something like this before. The game can only be won in overtime under certain conditions. Where have you heard of a system that works, but is overly complicated and useless. That's right it was the Ptolemaic system of astronomy. This is how I read the new overtime rules when I saw them on Sportscenter; "In order to win the Olympian war god will be in retrograde, while the in field fly rule compels an as yet to be determined linebacker to snot bubble the quarterback, but only if the line of scrimmage is being defended outside of the purple zone."

Here is a crazy idea. In the regular season there is no overtime, as has often been said by players if you can't beat the other team in sixty minutes you don't deserve to win. In the playoffs you keep playing fifteen minute periods until one team wins or forfeits.

Yep

Pizzas Pizzas

I love pizza. How can anyone not love pizza; it's one of the few foods that can contain the entire food triangle in one serving. Even the whiniest hipster who hates everything not from the mystical ancient Asian continent, did you know that like Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War like a thousand years before Jesus never lived, likes pizza. Cats love pizza; dogs love pizza, on this there is no dispute. Pizza resides in it's own aisle in most grocery stores, that aren't the ghetto HEB. This brings me to my point. What the hell does Manfred von Richthofen know about making pizzas? I know the Italians and Germans palled around a couple of times, but are we so hard up for pizza makers that we must rely on Prussian nobility to adequately supply us with pizza. What's next Genghis Kahn's authentic Texas Chili?

GPointingDeviceSettings on Moblin

If your like me, you don't like touchpad scrolling; thankfully there is the program, formerly known as gsynaptics, gpointing-device-settings. Unfortunately Moblin doesn't have a package for this program yet, fortunately all the dependencies (gtk2-devel, libXi-devel, GConf-dbus-devel) are available from the Moblin repositories. The steps are as follows:

$sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
$sudo yum install gtk2-devel libXi-devel GConf-dbus-devel
$tar -xvf gpointing-device-settings-1.3.2.tar.gz
$cd gpointing-device-settings-1.3.2
$./configure
$make
$sudo make install

After this process you can run the program with the command gpointing-device-settings.
