    False dilema: It is not the case that you either drop a nuke or send in the troops to die.

    Rather, how about slightly more expensive conventional bombs on military targets instead of residential neighbour hood.

    Sure, I know the nuking was NOT an act of revenge, and it had nothing to do with "kill those fucks and their families who killed my friends at Pearl Harbour"

    what about the guy (or gal) who invented FIRE!!! That accomplishment is no less than frigging Einstein!! Also, I sure would like to invent the dude who learnt to count with his fingers, that's pretty smart too.

    EULA don't mean shit, and are rarely unenforcable in the court. I personally would like a law that would disbar lawyers who write unreasonable EULA's.

    While I'm not a web developer, I believe technologies such as CSS, or XHTML are simly suggestions and hints that a web developer write down for a browser to digest and determine the best way to render the content.

    If you want the same picture to be displayed on all platforms, then CSS and XHTML may not be the right tool for the job. Though I'm not certain if there is a better way to present content identically on many different platforms.

    What about hyperlinked PDF?

    how about pulishing the exploit to your local student newspaper. It'd make a great story, and they can protect your identity.

    Is it just me?

    Every time an US soldier was killed, it's headline news. But I have never read a story accounting the total number of civilian deaths as a result of the US invasion.

  19. Re:What's with the crappy title of this article? on UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL · · Score: 1

    in this case, shouldn't the title had been "UK is warned", rather than "UK warned". As the later case could be interpreted as the subject, "UK", did some "warning" in the past.

    correct if I'm wrong, but if one wished to use the passive voice, one should preceed the verb with some form of "be" ...

    But I admit that English is not my first language, and would welcome corrections.

    ok... I must admit that English is not my first language.

    But as I understand it, "UK warned blah" means that UK did some warning in the past. And "UK is warned blah" means that the some body did some warning to the UK in the present.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL

    That's all that's needed for /.'ers to go into a wild frenzy. In fact, no where in the article did it suggest that the government of United Kindom had issued a warning about the GPL. The organization known as Intellect is *not* the UK government.

    In fact the title of the original article is "Industry group urges government to think twice on open source". Sure, it has a lot less shock values, but sure is a lot more accurate.

    Therefore, I claim the title is crap.
