    No, here's an Offtopic Troll post, just so you know the difference:

    Obviously the people moderating my post are not from the US. And they call us insensative clods! I'm gonna go to McDonald's and get some Freedom Fries. Biznitches.

    maybe we should be asking ourselves how many Falun Gong followers China has unjustly imprisoned today.

    You don't have to go so far. Just ask how many people are detained in the US (or by the US in Guantanamo or similiar places) without rights and without accusation.
    And just recently, the Supreme Court said, that's okay. New York Times article
    Before everybody shouts that I can't compare the two countries and that I would be put in jail just for saying that... I admit: you're right.

    The USA is a free country. Still. Quite. Well, relatively. As long as you're not Arabian or muslim or otherwise suspicious.

    But of course, none of us is, so we don't have to worry. Do we?

    On the subject of spelling, I use Mac OSX which has a built in spelling service (Applespell) which runs by default. My browser, Omniweb 4.5, provides proper integration with this service such that as I type away in its magic zoomed text box, it underlines apparent errors and allows updating of the dictionary right there.

    Now, I don't extensively use a Linux, Windows XP or Solaris machines, but I ASSUME that these other modern OSs can also do this type of thing, so it rather seems to me that NO self respecting geek should be making consistent spelling errors in their posts to /. in 2004 - if they are doing so, I can only assume that they're too dumb to enable a spell checker on their system.

    As for your mistake - it's an easy typo, and wouldn't be caught by a checker anyway!
