that this thread would have turned into a Bill Gates/MS bashfest. I mean, can you believe that would happen on./? What a flippin' shocker!;-) Carry on sheeple...;-)
THANK YOU for "saying" what many feel. You could not possibly be more correct. I feel exactly the same way you do. If you don't believe me...just look at my mod score! hahaha It is impossible to be above "2" if you think independently around here. A slashdot sheeple I am not. It is almost like we have wondered into som Jim Jones-like cult. Now if they would all just follow suit!!;-) Man, that's a lot of kool-aid!
for the ass-reaming of your lives. If you believe that Bush was bad for America, hang on to your sphincter. When Pelosi, Reid, and their ilk are finished, the Americans who are left alive will be left penniless and desperatley trying to learn Arabic and "Mexican". We'll need to learn Arabic in order to understand our new world leaders and we will need to know Spanish to be able to communicate with our new "neighbors". Good going America! Well done!
Sounds like you need management training. "Your guys", as you call them, probably consider themseleves "Your slaves.". They probably also "handle" being payed a helluva lot less than they are worth(in your eyes probably only 2/3, right?). They probably "handle" the disrespect with which you treat them.
Wow, what a waste of 17 years. Lemme guess...COBAL rocks, right?! You obviously just have an unwillingness to change. Or you're just too lazy to do the documentation so instead you bash it. Either that or you have neither the first-hand experience nor the foresight to realize that by documenting your "stuff" that you are more likely to recover from a disaster in a timely manner (or at all) or that you can hire that $10-an-hour "genius" to perform mundane tasks instead of the $100,000 "genius" to figure it all out. I think YOU'RE kind of attitude is what is ruining the IT industry. It is definitely making the average IT dept a pain in the @ss to have to deal with poor attitudes. You might want to consider that supermarket job for yourself.
Documentation IS important. I think it is a pain in the @ss to create and update but, when you need it when the inevitable happens, there is nothing better.
Now, exactly how was slashdotmsiriv's post not labeled a troll or flamebait? This dipshit is insulting an entire country and he isn't labeled a troll or flamebait? Are you f'in out of your minds or have you been drinking the same kool-aid? I made a post that wasn't 100% pro-linux or anti-american or anti-capitalist and I was labeled a troll. You guys are the most inconsistent, intolerant, moderators of any forum that I have ever seen. One must be a sheep to have his/her voice heard around here. Remember that the next time you cry about censorship or 1st Ammendment issues.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Have a nice day.
That is called "enabling". You know, it is like calling alchoholism a disease. BS. Go to your local cancer center and take a look around. There you will find the true meaning of the word disease.
We have to stop coddling criminals and enabling f-tards to ruin themselves. Both groups are a drain on society.
I get your point and agree to an extent but, at some point, we must look at reality. You know the old saying, "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and makes war like a duck...it is probably duck that makes war." (or something along those lines.):)
That is written at Ellis Island...not at every border-crossing point along our border. Nowhere in that quote does it say anything like, "Give me your...illegal aliens and/or criminals.". And before you say something ridiculous like, "They aren't criminals...", I'll pre-emptively call BULLLSHIT! They ARE criminals...hence the "illegal" part of "illegal aliens".
And to say we don't have compassion is not only wrong, but is dishonest and completely insane. Look at your next tax statement...
The "cheap labor" is actually quite expensive when/if you factor in things like free health care, free education, welfare, and on and on and on. If we were to simply cut-off the "need" part of the equation by imprisoning those who hire illegal aliens, we would be half-way there.
Yay!! Another half-baked, not-ready-for-primetime piece of OSS software!! Yippee!! Where do I sign up?!!
Seriously, OSS developers need to create a real alternative to non-free products if they really want to gain converts. And, "It isn't MS." doesn't cut it in the real world. Most people just want their software to work and don't have the motivation of an anti-MS agenda to fuel the learning process that is required to jump from a fully-baked piece of software to one that isn't.
If only we had the nads to say exactly that! I'm for armed guard towers every 1000yds along the border, but that would be a great start. What happened to the "brave" part of, "The land of the free and the home of the brave."?
That is an easy one to answer. Our southern borders are wide open. This allows thousands of illegal aliens to cross into this country every day. 99% of these illegals are completely uneducated and can do nothing but drain our welfare systems. You will hear in the news the bogus claims, "They are good people coming here to work.", and, "They are only doing the jobs that Americans won't do.". Both of those theories are ridiculously flawed. Because of this, our country is being slowly destroyed. It is amazing, really. It is amazing that we will destroy our own country just so we can tell ourselves (and others) that we are nice people. We are a society of PC-martyrs. We will get exactly what we deserve.
Since when does/. care about censorship? Are you f'n kidding me? Talk about the Pot calling the Kettle "Black"...or "Troll" in this case! Give me a frickin break and find some integrity!
OSS foes are in bed with Abramoff and OSS proponents are in bed with Stallman. Both are dangerous extremists/idealists. Surely there is somebody in the middle who would make a much better bedmate. But who would that be?
I am not surprised at all that "they" are making up shit to discredit it. This is a common practice among bigots of all kinds - racial, religious, and these days, OS bigots. Just a fact of life, sadly. It is a very common and almost required practice of the propagandist. Joseph Goebbles would be very proud.

Right on!! How did you get 5 mod points? Usually, logical thoughts/opinions will get you a big fat "Troll" or "Flamebait" label. Awesome post!!

But you didn't expect the "fucking hippies" to actually think something through, did you?

"Sure, you could look back over all of our history and draw that conclusion" -sodade Isn't that how conclusions are drawn?

Yes. Now, go back under your bridge, Troll.

BING-freakin'-O!
Great and accurate point! The most vocal attention whores, those in Hollywood, are on the forefront of the invasion-of-privacy
issue.
Darn, you figured me out. Yes, I am stupid and you are wasting your time.
"Man made global warming/climate change is not the real problem facing humanity," Thanks, I couldn't have said it better myself. Now go F yourself. :-)
