    I know it is habitual Slashdottery to blame lawyers and legislators, but these are just... people, just you and I and our neighbours. I can only assume that you are unaware that most legislators are politicians.

    Indeed I do mean that a MS product is better. From a end user perspective it can a nightmare to configure LN with a UI that have next to no consistency. High crash rate, caused by extremely poor/bloated coding. Ridicously inefficient slow search function in large mailboxes (often) leading to crashes/freezes. Parts of the UI dissapearing mysteriously, something that often can require quite some extensive trouble shooting to resolve. Regular failure of backing up mails and being able to retrive them from the backup. And this is just a fraction of the issues I can list that I was faced with on a daily basis. Granted the more frequent problems were relatively quick and easy to resolve, however that do not apply to your average computer user.

    In short, the only person I would recommend LN to is my ex who out of spite put down my dog without consulting me.

    Deja-vu

    To underline the assaultive nature of the film's content, much of its camera work is deliberately in-out, with few pans or much lateral/horizontal movement. Because of the copy-cat violence that the film was blamed for, Kubrick withdrew it from circulation in Britain about a year after its release. [Shortly after the ban was instituted, a 17-year old Dutch girl was raped in 1973 in Lancashire, at the hands of men singing Singing in the Rain. And a 16-year-old boy had beaten a younger child while wearing Alex's uniform of white overalls, black bowler hat and combat boots. Both were considered 'proof', after the fact, that the film had an influential effect on violence in society.] In preparation for a new 1972 release for US audiences, Kubrick replaced about 30 seconds of footage to get an R-rating, as opposed to the X-rating that the MPAA initially assigned to it. (The replacement footage was for two scenes: the high-speed orgy scene in Alex's bedroom, and the rape scene projected at the Ludovico Medical Center.) In the spring of 2000, an uncut version of the film was re-released to British screens. http://www.filmsite.org/cloc.html

    I am baffled that American media is so afraid of offending it's viewers and readers that AP is indulging in self censorship to such an extent that they don't even write the word shit in the article. "Cher used the phrase "F--- 'em" and a Dec. 10, 2003, Billboard awards show in which reality show star Nicole Richie said, "Have you ever tried to get cow s--- out of a Prada purse? It's not so f------ simple." What I find most disturbing is that people who find words like fuck, ass, cunt etc being too offensive to be broadcasted often are the very same that shout the most when Muslims object against publication of images depicting Mohammed.

    "The programmes of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Bin Laden was not the principal figure. He was the primal terrorist, the earliest defiler of the Party's purity. All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly out of his teaching. Somewhere or other he was still alive and hatching his conspiracies: perhaps somewhere beyond the sea, under the protection of his foreign paymasters, perhaps even -- so it was occasionally rumoured -- in some hiding-place in Oceania itself. Winston's diaphragm was constricted. He could never see the face of Bin Laden without a painful mixture of emotions. It was a lean Arabic face, with a great fuzzy aureole of white hair and a small goatee beard -- a clever face, and yet somehow inherently despicable, with a kind of senile silliness in the long thin nose" My humblest appologies to the spirit of George Orwell (the prophet?) for the slight edits I've made to his original text.
