If you expect companies to follow the copyright of the GPL, you should support the RIAA going after infringers of its copyright. If not, you're a hypocrite.

Too, a handful of 503s! What's the deal, Slashdot? Who's responsible for this mess?

It's no surprise that Slashdot is the only site using Slashcode. Fucking Movable Type is better than this hogwash, programmed by a bunch of bracegirdles from hardbottle.

You would never have this kind of downtime on an enterprise site. I don't think Linux is really ready for the real world, as you zealots would like to believe.

From the freerepublic website:

"They had a thing in ancestry.com not too long ago that shows W is also related to Collin Powell as well and they are both descendants of "Longshanks" of Braveheart fame"

Thanks!

There you have it. It's an English king, whose name starts with an E and whose ordinal is one. Clicking on the link is left as an exercise for the reader.

I'll give you *two*: Adam and Eve. They both are quite famous.

Well in that case I can give you two more further down, Noah and his wife. ;)

5. Islam - bastard terrorists who pervert this religion
6. Christianity - priests and children

Please get your facts straight. Priests are members of the Roman Catholic Church, which according to this authoritative list is a cult that perverts Christianity, much like the bastard terrorists that pervert Islam.

Not to single out the RCC but any religion is vulnerable to such abuses - the Bible warned us thousands of years ago of these "wolves" and how to deal with them.
