The incredibly ignorant essay does have one very good point: windows is free. The rest is just fanboiism. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Linux, just not in his essay;P
Well even if we'd kept everything the same, 9/11 couldn't have happened again. Once the hostages know they're going to die, they tend to fight back. Up until then they'd just been told to cooperate.
And yes, you're right. We all know this is security theatre. The thing is, without it people get scared and the nation suffers economic and social loss. These aren't necessary to protect us from the boogeymen but they are necessary to protect people from (semi) rational fear.
Of course then you have the/real/ problems facing this nation and the world, but there you go.
Yes that's exactly why we need laws like this, to prevent that. Glad you get it, unlike so many of these other idiots who think the bill of rights applies to those accused of serious crimes.
Maybe we just make htem all get email accounts only at their choice of pedophile.net and pedophile.org. All sex offenders I mean, not just pedophiles. Just in case they're secretly pedophiles.
We could also create a social networking site called pedobook, a twitter-like service called pedosmile, and a gateway/IM client called POL (Peodphiles Online)
For me the body counts speak louder than the megaphones on either side. I condemn both sides but my sympathy lies closer to Palestine as long as they continue to die in such greater numbers.
Really we need to stop with the warmongering kneejerk retaliations that both peoples have grown so used to.
Ideally, yes, but not all GM crops are sterile. I've grown several varieties of GM tomatoes and bird peppers, and while their seeds have terrible germination rates, they do produce plants that produce fruit. It's similar to what you see with hybridized crops.
Yeah this kind of crap and lack of multiple desktops were the two main reasons I left Windows a few years ago. I later found Microsoft's TweakUI that lets you disable those stupid balloons that, in windows at least, never say anything useful ever, and another Microsoft addon that lets you do multiple desktops.
As much as I am a linux fanboi, windows can be decently usable once you mod it to hell but I prefer the out of box experience of linux, 'cause frankly I think like the nerds who build it so it tends to work out:-)
Um...BMI is a/terrible/ indicator of health. People like me have fairly low BMIs but most of that mass is fat, not muscle. Likewise, people with lots of muscle and little fat are misrepresented the other way. Still, a decent heuristic I guess.
I much prefer water displacement to determine fat/muscle ratios combined with other factors to determine fitness.

So I assume they don't shoot to kill all people they think have mal intent; they just taze 'em bro.
And reality continues to move closer and closer to the worldview in Team America, World Police.
Definitely sarcasm. I added the sig 'cause people couldn't easily tell:-)
Sure, watch where I tunnel my SSH traffic and the rates I send it at. I don't care. You're providing me free internet.

This is exactly why we have things like a constitution and checks and balances. To prevent the majority from oppressing minorities.
National Archivist: "What's a .gpg file and how do I open it?"
Bush/Cheney: "heh heh heh..."
Sure, just have the government hand me a monopoly and free lines and I'll get started!
Only approved, purchased content on a secure, Trusted Platform (tm). Anything else would be communist, comrade.
You're right, it violates the UK constitution!
Nonsense. There are invented or blown-out-of-proportion threats such as communists, terrorists, witches, and the war on drugs, poverty, terror, etc...
Well that's what they control us with in America anyway.

hahahahaha funny.
Seriously though, genmod crops are grown in open-pollinated fields. I don't see how DIY could be _any_ worse.
I thought fair use rights were canceled in this country to prevent murderous pirates?
But blindsight is such a kickass name.
This is the year of the Windows desktop!
It is perpetual, every 10 years Congress extends the life of all currently copyright works for 10 years.
I'm confused, if you're modifying the machine code wouldn't comments have been stripped out long ago?

Doesn't windows have that feature?
Sorry for the troll, couldn't resist;)
