  1. Netcraft Confirms it ... Terri Schiavo, dead at 41 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Human vegetable Terri Schiavo was found dead in her Florida hospice this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy the constant press coverage, there's no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    when most of the users don't like WINDOWS !! Then why bother talking about it ? Instead posting more unix and open source related news would be useful.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - right-wing pawn Terry Schiavo was found dead in her Florida hospice this morning. She died in the same way she had lived her entire life; brain dead and starved. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her drooling, uncontrollable bowel discharges and random grunts, there's no denying her contributions as a fund raising meat-poster for the Christian right. Truly an American icon.

      You got one thing right.... Truly an American icon . Like the rest of America, she is brain dead. But unlike her, the rest of America is not starved, but a fat asssed pig.

    Oh... so tempting to make a comparison of the severity and nubmer of patches... But I'm getting frustrated at this prinstein and little touched windows laptop which just simply refuses to power off, refuses to see my pocketpc and refuses to use it's wifi card.

    It just can't shut itself down... So is dell the culprit, or ms?

    All I want to do is download the SP, or copy it to the machine via cf cards... (usb is being stupid, my SD reader is my pocketpc...)

    It is interestingthe media's insistance to mispronounce her name. Schiavo is an Italian name and it is pronounced "ski-Ah-vo" not "SHavo"... The 'h' after a 'c' makes a hard sound to make up for the Italian alphabets lack of a 'k'. Ironically, the word literally means "slave" in Italian. And she died a slave, the poor girl. The wierdest part is to to die of an eating disorder and have a tube forced down your vegtable corpse for 15 years. It's very Dantesque.
