Debian win32-loader Goes Official

An anonymous reader writes "After a long process of review and polishing, the win32 loader from goodbye-microsoft.com has finally made its way to official Debian CDs. Latest daily builds of lenny (the development version) are including it, making starting Debian Installer as simple as just a few clicks (OGG). The win32-loader version, now based on GRUB 2, includes new features such as detection and pre-seeding of Windows settings, and is translated to 20 languages."

    Seriously, what the hell is the point of editors if this shit doesn't get explained? Ten percent of the summaries simply invoke confusion on my part because nobody bothers to give any background, or even just link to an explanation.

    Uh, the articles didn't say liberals think about things before making a decision. What it said was that they are more likely to change their minds or adopt new ideas. It made no comment on the quality of that. The global warming reference here is kind of ambiguous, but the hypocrisy (wtf is hypocracy) reference might be to the fact that some segments of what the poster calls the global warming crowd are pretty hypocritical. That would be the Al Gore faction, flying all over the world to talk about it, using up massive amounts of electricity for concerts, the fuel needed to get people to those concerts, the paper-based and petroleum-based products used and sold there, etc, and the bad movies he gets behind, based on sensationalism and far more than on science. If you believe that the global warming hypothesis is correct, you should distance yourself from Al Gore as much as possible. He's a buffoon, widely perceived as such by much of the American public, and every time he opens his mouth he gives ammunition to the anti-global warming side of the argument.

    The debate should be a debate for scientists, not fat, out of shape, failed politicians go around in SUVs and private jets while bemoaning global warming.

    Yes, I'm certain the Gore crowd are the hypocrites he was talking about.
