Not expatriate, but e”x”tended Patriot Act. He’s pushing Congress to extend the time period for the Patriot Act. At this point, it’s set to expire at the end of this year…and with any luck it will.
Personally, I don’t see this happening. I wouldn’t be suprised if the Patriot Act is utilized until far after I’m dead. Buh-bye privacy, hello unlawful “legal” searches.

Version 2.4.26 of the Linux kernel has been released. 2.6.5 is the latest stable version, but it doesn’t work too well for me. The 2.4 series is much better for me to use right now.
Anyway, I’m compiling it right now. You can get it here:

There’s been absolutely nothing going on lately. For the last month my main focus in life has been finding some work. A buddy of mine that goes to ISU has been selling a bunch of crap on E-bay, just stuff he has around his house that he doesn’t need anymore. I guess he made like $500 lastweek…I’ve got, what seems like infinite ammounts of stuff I could sell.
Dropline Gnome 2.6.0 is out of -test1, with the final version being released.
As stated on gnome.org, GNOME 2.6 has arrived! Now Slackware users can enjoy crisp, GNOME 2.6 goodness, including the overhauled GTK+ File Chooser and the new Spatial Nautilus file management system. Other changes include new software such as the Beep Media Player and Screem Website Editor, new artwork, and a new windowing system. With the license change to XFree86 4.4, Dropline GNOME has also joined the revolution and moved to X.Org’s X11 server (don’t worry, the nVidia and ATI binary drivers still work). Finally, the Dropline Build System has also been revamped, making it easier than ever to build the desktop from source, or contribute enhancements back to the community. More details on working with the new build system will be available shortly. A full list of enhancements over previous releases is available from the ChangeLog.
Current Dropline GNOME users can upgrade via the Dropline Installer, while new users will need to first obtain the Installer from our download page. A BitTorrent of the ISO image is available as well. Enjoy!
Dropline Gnome 2.6.0-test1 has been released. It’s based on Gnome 2.6, which was released yesterday. There’s lots of big changes in this new version. The biggest change would probably switching from XFree86 to Xorg from freedesktop.org.
I’ll be downloading it as soon as the web server hosting it comes up. You can see the announcement here:
