You know what else sucks? When people talk about computers without mentioning the huge cost to human life and the great depleation of our environment that they bring along with them.

Oh yeah, this is slashdot, where it is in generally (obviously not everyone thinks this way, but it seems most do) considered the "in" thing to bash any war related tech topics... all for "the innocent people being killed."

Guess what you narrow minded sheeple, you are killing plenty of people and ruining the environment with every new monitor you buy. Every computer you throw out, even some of the ones you send off to be "recycled" are just poisoning people and the world. Not just locally, but even overseas.

So why is it that we can't discuss the pros/cons/coolness factor of a new munition because of the death it can cause, while everyday we discuss the next new chipset and pledge that we will upgrade every 4 months... and nary a word is mentioned about how we are killing "innocent" people all over the world.

Well wahoo for you righteous peons. You truly are messengers of peace.
