GPL (and non-free) software I have written

A modest wish: that our doings and dealings may be of a little more significance to life than a man's dinner-jacket is to his digestion. Yet not a little of what we describe as our achievement is, in fact, no more than a garment in which, on festive occasions, we seek to hide our nakedness.

Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings, translated by W.H. Auden and Leif Sjöberg

bradfitz: What was scarier than the text of the article - let's face it, we have known for years the man is a moron - was the photo accompanying it. A pile of sycophants, clutching their cameras for a chance to photograph the most potent symbol of their country's failure in every sphere. Not what he's earned: A lynch mob.

salimma: "once" anti-GPL?!

trs80: Yep, swapping controller boards can work. I did it successfully last year to a Samsung 80GB that failed. Of course, I then had two working chassis and only one working controller, so I should have been able to organise a warranty replacement (which never happened for various reasons). It was obviously a dead controller: one of the ASICs had a matchhead sized explosive divot in it.
