Off-Topic?

[Anonymous Coward]

How the fuck is the parent post off-topic? Shit, the original was OBVIOUSLY a troll. It's even been moderated as such MULTIPLE TIMES for Christ's sake! So a post with a simple plea to avoid a bunch of FUCKWITS taking the BAIT and it's OFF-FUCKING-TOPIC?! Holy shit, you guys.

God, slashdot sucks! Not long now 'til it's on FC.

Now THIS post...THIS is OFFTOPIC. Can you see the fucking difference?

Re:Myth: Viral nature of the GPL

[atrowe]

Youre entire argument is based upon a technicality and does not hold true for real-world users. While code compiled using GCC does not include any derivative code from the GCC compiler itself, it will almost certainly include code from one of the many libraries which are distributed with GCC.

Any software project larger than "Hello World!" is going to be dependant upon libraries which are liscensed under the GPL. While the LGPL was created to address some of these issues, not every library is liscensed under the LGPL, so the problem still exists. This includes the very prevalant C++ library which includes the cin and cout operators which I'm sure every programmer has used at some point in his or her career.

Please see here, here, or here for documentation supporting my claims. The last link goes to an article written by Stallman himself addressing this problem, so please don't try and tell my that my information is based on Microsoft FUD.

Re:Anyone actually use Darwin?

Why was Jesus an asshole? I'm a nontheist (atheist, agnostic, whatever you wanna call it) and that seems to be christianity's only saving grace. While I may not like what chrisitanity has become and what has been carried out in god's name over the centuries, I always thought Jesus was sort of a cool guy (if he was really a guy or just a myth, I dunno, I'm not exactly read up on this.) It seems (to me, perhaps incorrectly) that Jesus was a left-wing radical hippy guy. Is there a reason I should think Jesus was an asshole?

There's reason to believe that he was a jerk like you and I. You've got to figure that if you and your cronies think you're the son of god, that's going to go to your head. Maybe history has intentionally forgotten about all the cool Evil things Jesus did. Who knows?

The one thing I do know is that Jesus was a human being. Human beings are messed up complicated things. Nobody's perfect. Since I don't believe that Jesus was the son of god, it follows that he was a "sinner".

Oh, and don't trust left-wing radical hippy guys. Sure, they might be the son of god, but they're probably just a loony. Charles Manson was a hippie. David Koresh, too.

Actually, you've got it wrong too, agnostics DO believe something: They believe in unknowability.

Agnostic = "I believe is impossible to know whether there is a God."

Some modern commentators call this 'strong' agnosticism as opposed to what you think it is being 'weak' agnosticism, but that's silly.

You were modded as flamebait because you expressed a fairly strong opinion without backing it up.

Hey, watch this:

Windows sucks!

And watch the karma roll in ...
