Lindsay Lohan prohibited from installing Linux on court-ordered alcohol monitoring gadget
,----[ Quote ]
| A Los Angeles judge this week ordered
| Lindsay Lohan to wear an alcohol-detection
| ankle bracelet at all times, after the
| actress was convicted for driving under the
| influence. Last night, Ms. Lohan tweeted
| that she wished to bedazzle her Secure
| Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM).
| The device isn't pretty. Neither is
| alcoholism.
|
| Snip from the Los Angeles Times:
|
| "Can CHANEL please help me out by
| getting me some stickers to put on my
| scram bracelet so that I can at least
| wear a chic dress?! maybe!? x," Lohan
| wrote.
|
| But the maker of the ankle bracelet
| warns that anything that affects the
| alcohol-monitoring device could be
| considered a violation and could
| trigger its tampering mechanism. So
| adorning the lightweight monitor with
| sequins or stickers could be fraught
| with problems for the fashionable
| actress.
|
| Guess that means you can't install Ubuntu
| on it, either. Bummer.

What Happens When My Linux Breaks Down?
,----[ Quote ]
| This post is a summary of a conversation I
| had the other day with an acquaintance of
| mine. It started out with him asking me
| what I do for a living and ended up with me
| having to choke back tears of laughter. I
| hope you have the same reaction although I
| realize that it might be one of those, "You
| had to be there" moments.

| Barbie and her dual monitor set-up with laptop

| smartphone, Bluetooth headset and of course,
| glasses, will hit the shelves Winter 2010.
| I've heard on the grapevine that you can pre-
| order so I'm currently trawling the Mattel
| store for the goods but I'm not having any
| luck so far.
