Are you implying by playing GTA people will be encouraged to steal cars? Funny that didn't happen to me or any of my friends. Seems like there must be more contributing to car theft than video games.
There is a reason people voted you as a troll. Yes you are correct but your point is moot. Our rights are being desperesed but only the ones not enough people fight for.
You are wrong in saying, "it seems that there's nothing anyone can do about it". Many lobbyist and activist have saved many of our rights. It is up to people to contact politicians and make a difference. If everyone gave up 100 years ago we would have cameras in our homes by now. Every waking minute of your life would be controlled by the government.
It sounds like your telling everyone they might as well given up. Well many of us have not and work long hours defending the few freedoms we still have. If you only look from one-perspective then you live in a one-perspective world.
If the number is very low then it would be bad for them. If the number is high it would be good. Of course this is subjective so who knows what how many subscribers would be a high number.
I think that if the number is growing at a rapid rate it will help them out immensely, to release it, by getting more subscribers and potential backing from other companies.
I would think the average user in China would learn more about his PC at a much faster rate. Most old time computer users I know can tell you what a TSR is but have no idea what that stuff in the system tray is for. People in China aren't as busy running around in circles as people here in the US. I'd bet the average "computer owner" in China is ten times more savy than the average "computer owner" in the US.
A good comparison would be children here in the US vs. their parents. Of course I might be wrong in assuming people in China aren't as pre-occupied as most adult Americans I know, but I doubt it.

Afghanistan is made of of many different groups who have opposing views. They are divided hence easy to conquer.
When someone has a gun to your head are you still not the people? How can you be responsible for the actions of your government if violence and your death is the only way to fight back?
Repeating your comment might brainwash some but it will not help the starving people of Afghanistan. I guess it is easy to brush off others problems and get on with your life by looking at things with such a simple approach. Unfortunatley without a voting booth this just doesn't work for these people.

Sorry but he is right and you are mistaken. Women were doctors 20 years ago before the Soviet invasion. After the invasion the Northern Alliance was very harsh and would not allow women to be doctors. Right now it is a state of turmoil and there is not real government in power. Unfortunatley the US will most likely help the NA get into power and womens rights will suffer. Of course the only represent 14% of the population and a coup will no doubt take place again. Most likely by the Taliban only under a different name. The facts are all there go do some research and you will see.
Actually there were several links posted pointing people to the facts. I was able to tell what was true and what wasn't rather quickly. It looks like you were as well.
Sure there was misinformation but thats normal when you get a group of people together. Doesn't matter if they are face to face or posting to a newsgroup.
If I hadn't come to Slashdot this morning I might not of found out about this story till afternoon. I'm happy Slashdot post news.
This allows for queries and operations that would not normally be possible within a traditional filesystem. In addition, it eliminates the concepts of files and folders, opting instead for child-parent relationships between any data stores.
Maybe I'm uninformed but this doesn't seem to describe things already found within ReiserFS to me. I thought ReiserFS was just another JFS.
Did you compare the two at all? Yeah sure structs can be expected to be similar but some of the comments are verbatim. IMHO, two programmers would not make the EXACT same comments unless one copied the other.
By we I mean someone who is for the "American Way". I am not gay, I do support the ACLU. All the things you mentioned involve having liberty and exercising our freedom as Americans. Anyone who doesn't think so needs to go to a country other than America.
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"
We didn't help it happen. It's true the people who did it are against Americans, freedom, and liberty. I will also die defending it if thats what it comes down to.
A UN inspection group found that well over 95% of the food and medical supplies were reaching Iraqi civilians directly. They reported it as one of the most effective humanitarian projects in history.
I agree America has a lot of waking up to do but I think we need to take in ALL the facts first.
I do not believe just because Iraq was doing the right thing while under UN inspection it means they do it while not under UN inspection.

Yes and most major companies got infected with Code Red on their internal machines because they were to lazy to patch them.
I wonder how long it will be before there is a malicious Unix worm that teaches them the same lesson with telnet.
The United States is a Republic but the people "vote" in a democratic fashion. But what good are a bunch of labels anyway?
Lets not forget when Israel bombed our ship in the 70's. Oh wait only Muslims are terrorist not Jews so that must not have really happened.
Yup now we are paying the feds to review porn all day. If only I didn't get busted with pot I'd be trying to become an FBI agent right now.

Well I guess it's lucky for him he came up with OpenBSD. Otherwise it sounds like he would just be another asshole to hate.
I run OpenBSD and I'm not trying to put Theo down in any way. I'm only making an observation off of what I have been reading.

To answer your question...
Following your link the very first sentence reads:
The source code to TransGaming WineX (minus copy protection related code, for now) is available through VA Linux's SourceForge website.

I figured you were joking. But, you never know there might be a few "nerds" still actually reading slashdot who don't have a clue ;).
Maybe you were just joking or maybe you don't know. Either way for those who are completely street illiterate...

Doh forget that. I compared the wrong code. I still think their was some plagerism here after seeing the real code though.

Very nice point. Its amazing how fast people buy into the "propoganda machine" and don't use their logic to draw conclusions like this.
