The way things look right now, I would believe those winners over anything the Bush administration has to say about any subject.
At what point are people going to question what the United States propaganda machine is feeding them, versus a larger world view. The selfishness of the common American, i.e. one who would criticize ANY winner of the Nobel Peace Prize by cherry picking past winners, is exactly what the United States problem is.
A bunch of ignorant selfish Americans.
I am surprised you didn't include Mother Teresa.
Just let me know if you think GWB, had he not cheated his way to a presidency, even be in consideration right now for ANY Nobel Prize?
Do you also think if Gore won the presidency we would be in the vulnerable, dire, position we currently are politically and fiscally?
Check you head fool.
Consider how many jobs are now outsourced to India and the Philippines, paying people slave wages.
I am unsure if you can buy any product nowadays without it having a positive financial impact for a communist dictatorship, 3rd world country with slave wages, or something you are morally opposed to.
I say hit craigslist and buy a Commodore 64, monitor, and 1581 disc drive...yep THE 1581! That way you won't be helping or hurting anyone.
I completely agree with the positive attributes of Ubuntu, that is why I used to for so long. I completely disliked Vista...and so far love Mac OSX, especially the fact that command line is a reasonable option when working with Apple TV.
Ubuntu is great in so many ways, IF you know what you are doing.
Ubuntu is currently for a power-user, who knows or will learn command line...and WANT to understand how to fix things and apply the knowledge they continue to learn.
Most people are not like this...and currently Windows and OSX continue to make things easier this way. I don't consider this the RIGHT way, or the only way...but Ubuntu and most linux flavours are not ready for prime time.
To not admit that Windows and OSX are easier to operate, far more user friendly is just ignorant. I think the tech community often overestimates the knowledge, know how, and wanting by the common user to learn and utilize a new system.
I personally just switch from Ubuntu(the past 2 years) to Vista(3 months of use) and bought myself an 24" Imac and I couldn't be happier.
This fossil makes some great sincere points, that should be acknowledged and considered by the open source community, if there goal is actually to be utilized by a larger base.
Typically after reading many slashdot posts and replies, it does not seem that this is their actual goal. It usually seems the goal simply revolves around superiority.
A specific example:
A copy protection idea is presented to Microsoft.
Microsoft loves it, but says no.
2 years later they are using this protection...point the company to their lawyers who tell them to go screw themselves until their patent is finally approved.
Microsoft has privately admitted that this protection technology has made/saved them a great deal of money.
So when this gets to court under this type of Bill...will Microsoft simply argue that the patent they infringed upon is worth ZERO because because were simply buying their product, and not the copy protection...and also argue those same people would have bought regardless of the copy protection???
This is only one simple case, but it is simply setting up the big boys to continue to steal ideas and eventually not have to pay for it. They will just drown the little guy in the legal system, with little or no recourse.
I have been running Ubuntu for the past year, and love it. I had tried Redhat in 1997, and a couple other flavours since then...but Ubuntu not only was friendly, it KEPT me as a user. I will not be switching back anytime soon.
Something in my gut does say, go against the grain and use something a little more difficult...but guess what. I actually like spending my time getting things done, and not figuring stuff out.
Ubuntu is a fantastic distro, and so are alot of it's other flavours.
Linux distros are like opinions...
I can't wait to see how many pardons Bush hands out in his last few weeks as president. If he has been willing to trample on freedom and justice in the name of friendship and corruption, I have a feeling Bush's number of pardons will be 1400, not 140.
I think the city would be better off investing in these things to make Winnipeg a better place:
1. Mosquito Repellant
2. Tornado Detectors
3. An NHL Team
4. Localized Global Warming to heat in the Winter, and Cool in the Summer
5. The Crash Test Dummies comeback
I don't see the point of fitting a bunch of rusted out Dodge Relient K's with immobilizers. This will also ruin the only thing that Winnipegger's are number 1 at.
It amazes me that so many semi-intelligent people refuse to actually look at HIV and AIDS realistically, and challenge the dogma that has been pushed by the media and Big Pharma.
For every other disease if we HAVE antibodies to a disease it is good. For HIV it is bad. Why is the test not for the virus itself? It is a load of non-scientific hogwash.
I despise people who refuse to look at the other side of the coin. It's the same reason we end up with a retarded President, and Fox News.
At least give the documentary a chance.
Most of you decide its bullshit, and don't even wach it. Very similar to just believing everything big pharma tells you.
Why is Duesberg considered a crackpot in this subject, but is a valued member of ever other scientific circle he has been involved with regarding his opinions? He is asking that HIV and AIDS is held up to the same standard as every other virus has in regard to classification and determining of prevalance etc...Duesberg continues to make huge strides and is nominated for many awards for his research, and heads a department at one of the best schools in the country...Must be a crackpot.
Is the fellow who won a Nobel Prize for his work on AIDS meds a crackpot as well when he comes out and draws the same conclusion as Duesberg?
Just as most things in medicine, follow the money...
This documentary does a fantastic job questioning the entire HIV and AIDS situation, including the actual tests that determine if you have HIV. The HIV and AIDS theory has so many holes when i comes to science and theory that it is sickening.
The people who have believed the hype and propaganda on this disease are the ones who are crackpots...just research the oherside starting with this documentary and come back and comment.
I should have added to my post...
Do no flame if you haven't seen the doc. I couldn't believe it myself...However I verified the facts and have questioned many experts on the subject.
Please show me a photo of HIV, and not a computer model guessing what it looks like. Please show me the original study showing that HIV is the cause of AIDS.
You won't be able to because they don't exist. Watch the show, and take the word of the experts who speak about it.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Also..this is only my second or third post on all of slashdot, so please don't confuse me with someone else.
I am unsure how many of you do research on this subject, but I recommend that people watch the documentary The Other Side of AIDS. It has amazing interviews and explanations by a Nobel Prize winning scientist for his discovery in AIDS meds, as well as Dr Peter Duesberg, a professor of molecular cell biology from the University of California who shed real light on alot of the bogus statements made about HIV.
If you explore these areas, and find out that the HIV has actually never been seen, just the antibodies...supposedly...how on earth are scientists finding a vaccination or any treatment for an unknown/unseen virus?
I wish I was kidding.
Switch to a user friendly install of Linux EVERYONE! I usually bought all of my MSFT software from friends who worked for the company, but recently I switched to Ubuntu and there is no looking back.
I have found a version of every application I need...so microsoft can suck it, and be glad more people don't find out that they can have a FREE, better, and more secure operating system.

Just ask my wife.
They should've used TOR.

This is the most basic form of supply and demand.
This is done because we live in a society that will overpay for these tickets, and support it all the way to the bank.
at around 10 years old. I've been using it ever since, and don't plan on ever stopping.

I wonder what the Storm botnet could do?

Fake ID Gestapo. What should be confiscated is her mom's shitty art.
in 1995 when I still bought CD's. Let me know when they do this to used MP3's.
