  1. Dear editors by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful
    This is a good example of a submission that cries out for a little "Here's what the hell this article is talking about..." trailer. That's the place to add your two cents, not Michael-ish "Here's the acceptable position to take on this controversial subject." comments.

    "Waimea is the first window manager that uses Cairo for rendering."? To me, "Cairo" is Windows 95.
