Geologists Angry About New 'Pluton' Definition
An anonymous reader writes "According to a story over at Nature, some geologists are ticked off at the International Astronomical Union for using the word 'pluton' to describe a round object orbiting the sun with a period more than 200 years. A pluton, it seems, is a common type of rock formation that exists in most Geology 101 curricula. IAU head Owen Gingerich is quoted as saying that he was only peripherally aware of the definition, and because it didn't show up on MS Word's spell check, he didn't think it was that important."
If Microsoft had only had added a word that every geology noob knows, then the astronomy guys would have been better prepared at the conference.
...please help me, who shall Slashdot rant on first?
Or....maybe we should be angry at the academics who obviously are not running OpenOffice on Linux.
In general, those who support Linux hate America. Europeans for example.
Unfortunately, if the democrats do well this fall, we may witness more Linux in use in the government sooner than later. If not for Bush, they'd make Bin Laden the sys admin. The BOFH I think!
During the depraved Clinton era, I was glad that we are limited to 2 presidential terms. Although he's in a small dip right now, I sure could go for another Bush term.
Fuck linux.
