Whose Desktop Would You Most Like To See?
An anonymous reader writes "Have you ever been curious about what someone else's computing environment looks like? Would you like to see what tools and products someone like Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates, George Bush, or Steve Jobs uses on a daily basis? What percentage of time is spent browsing the web, working in spreadsheets, programming, debugging, designing, or writing documents? How many monitors or devices do they have attached to their PC? What kind of security or anonymizers do they have in place?" For good or ill, open source developers' desktops at least are often visible in screenshots of their pet projects.
Actually, I think the people on slashdot would be more interested to know if he uses KDE or Gnome ;-)

Uh? When did I post goatse? You must be mistaking me for someone else. Show your face, so that we can resolve this issue as adult men.

smart move- I checked it out and sure enough there is a goatse shot in there. unfortunately it's the the only scary item in the shot.
Creationists are a lot like zombies. Slow, but powerful and numerous. And they all want to eat our brains.
What, there's no open source speech recognition system he could use? (or maybe none yet compare to Dragon Naturally Speaking on windows).

"Destroy science and religion. Science would re-emerge exactly the same; but not religion." - Penn Jillette, paraphrased
As opposed to Bush, who ensures his buddies' continued profits by giving tax breaks to people who buy Hummers. Clinton may have raised the temperature in the Oval Office, but Bush is raising the temperature of the entire planet.

" I don't recall the rest of the world having a problem with him either."
The UN drafted a resolution to condemn the chemical attacks, the US (Reagan administration) blocked it. It never even got to a vote.
"Lets see, the French, Russians, Chinese, Germans, and Libyans, Czechs, Swedes, and Japanese all sold Saddam Hussein military and technical hardware over the past thirty years, but oh yes...it's the US that "kept" him in power."
I am sure the libyans sold him some AKA47s or something and maybe the russians sold him a tank or two. We provided him with knowhow and chemicals so he could manufacture chemical weapons. We provided him with intelligence and sattelite imagery so that he could kill as many people as possible using those weapons. Of course we also paid him lots of money too.
Sure the libyans, russians chinese also helped him but we helped him more. You know what that means? That means that the US no better then them. Are you proud of that? Are you proud that the US is no better then the libyans? You sure seem to be. Are your standards for your country that low? You really think that because Libya helped a brutal and savage person like saddam it was OK for us to do it too? I hold America up to a higher standard then china, libya and communist russia, apparently you don't.
Ok Lets sum it up. The US actually helped a tyrant and a brutal dictator stay in power by providing him with money, intelligence, technology and chemicals. This went on the entire time Reagan Bush was in office. So don't give me any bullshit about how democrats are soft on tyrants.

Thank you for agreeing with me that nazism and fascism are the same thing. You are both a nazi and a fascist. BTW it is possible to have one without the other despite your ignorant remarks to the contrary.
" The ultimate arrogance is that you pretend to know how I think"
I know what you think because I read your words. Your words tell me that you are mindless brownshirt follower. When the time comes to round up people like me and take them to the concentration camps Ashcroft will rely on people like you drive the buses and spy on your neighbors.

" Nazism and Fascism are not the same thing,"
Ok you got me. I mistyped. I first said they were NOT the same thing. You said they were, then I said that I am glad you changed your mind and agreed with me. I mistyped is all.
Anyway we both agree that nazism and fascism are NOT the same thing. Now that we have that out of way...
What do they have in common? Because you are so stupid I will make it easy for you. Here are the links to dictionary.com
fascism
nazism
After you read them you will see that they have a few things in common. Mainly belligerent nationalism, nationalistic expansion and of course racism.
You see now how you are a nazi and a fascist? You are racist and you advocate belligerent nationalism. You advocate controlling opposition through terror and censorship.
