Dear lord, it appears that the GNOME developers have completely lost their fucking minds:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552387

*sigh* This is the sort of bullshit I really hate about open source. You give people lots of power and no accountability, and lo and behold, they do stupid shit. I wish there were a good solution to this.

EDIT: Oh, and I think the only reason that everybody is being so civil on that bug, in light of the developers being COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS, is that there's a threat at the bottom from the moderators to ban people who rant. Lulz.

I have a bad feeling I'm going to need an oscilloscope to get my IMSAI back into fully-working order. Anybody have one they want to lend me for a month or two?

Currently it will execute anywhere from a few to a few dozen instructions correctly, then launch itself off into the weeds...

EDIT: Apparently the thing I really want is called a "logic analyzer". But an oscilloscope would be better than a hole in the head.
