    Is sex with a fatty better than no sex at all?

      I think the better question for the typicall /.er is, "Is sex with furniture better then no sex at all?" You're jumping the gun a bit, thinking most of the idiots here can even get chunky-style-with-extra-gravey pussy. And how the fuck was the parent modded flamebait? It's probably the most insightful thing I've seen on Shitdot in about a year.

    He's an idiot. Does this surprise you? I mean, Jesus, what do we have to do to get an editor fired around here? It's became quite apparent between him and T-Bag that gross negligence/incompetence/system abuse isn't enough. So my question, what does it take? Come on now, editor bitch, abuse the power and mod with your mighty unlimited points.

    hahah like there's a European website that draws an international crowd.

    Actually though, why were these UK guys on television the other day so amazed with their Flordia visit. "All the people we've met are skinny and smart!.. which is weird because back home in the UK, TV always shows Americans as fat and slow!"

    Of course all the people in Florida are skinny and smart; they're all retired Canadians!

    immediately delete all software from your computer that was not written 100% by Americans (say goodbye to linux, blender, apache, etc...) immediate stop using all components not 100% produced by US manufacturers

    Ok, done that, I'm still here...where have you gone...???

    Gnome is S.T.I.L.L.!!!!!!!!!!!! , a stinking pile of horseshit (-1, flamebait won't change that, you can't cover up facts, besides you will get an 'unfair' in the metamods.). I just tried the 2.4 beta. And

    • The file dialog STILL sucks (this is 2003)
    • The Smelly foot is still there
    • The HIG police has castrated all the applications
    • Wanda the fish is still there
    • They fucked up file-roller. back to tar xjgrijfadsklj file.tar.gz for a decent program
    • More options hidden from the easy GUI into GCONF
    • The panel fubared into a piece of shit
    • Zealots who can't take the truth that LINUX SUCKS!

    This is geting silly. Quite frankly we have a problem with your government - the one that has been hijacked by the neocon junta - not with you. Vote out the bastards and we can let the good times roll again.

    What a Cop-out. As if there was ever a time when you had respect for the US. Give me a break!

    We elected that government. If there was any doubt about the intent of the American voter, we erased it by voting in the first simultaneous Republican majority House and Senate in I don't know how many decades two years later. Next year we'll reaffirm all of the above with landslide re-elections.

    Plant a big wet one on my over-paid American ass!
