    Kay felt that he had never met any people who were more uninterested in the events in Iraq. According to Kay, no one in the administration lost more than 10 minutes of sleep over the war in Iraq.

    Why would a bunch of rich white men care about grunts and sand niggers dying?

    Has the irony of Mozilla's security chief being called Window escaped everyone? And on an off-topic note what a ridiculous name. Some parents must want their kids to get bullied.

    If Debian developers had to submit patches to Mozilla for approval, not only would it slow down the development process, but it would make it less attractive to volunteer developers.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Debian have one of the slowest release cycles of any distro? So why would a six week delay be a problem. I doubt Mozilla would reject their patches in such an offhand way as you describe in any case. This isn't some megacorp after all.

    What needs to be avoided though is having several different versions of Firefox - that would be a nightmare.

    And web designers won't fucking much care to support multiple slightly incompatible versions of firefox they'll go back to supporting IE only and we'll all be back to fucking fucking fucking square one fucker.

    And, although I like Linux a great deal, that has not exactly worked out for the best with each distro having its own kernel. Do you think web designers would be happy to support several slightly different versions of Firefox?

    Will Debian stop using the Linux trademark as well?

    I'm a bit confused who 'they' might be since all that link gives reasons why Greenpeace are wrong and evil for daring to criticise Apple; I don't see any retraction from Greenpeace on there, and the Apple part of their site is still up.

    Well over here in the land of the limeys teenagers regularly annoy me with mp3 player/mobile phone combos on the bus. Nothing like some braindead hip hopper yo'ing in your ear after a hard day's work. MMS has taken off somewhat as well so I'd say there is a market for integrated multimedia devices.
    Sounds more like your mobile providers are in the way again, which, given that that means you will probably not have brats inflicting tuneless garbage on you for some time yet, means I envy you Americans for once.

    So why does an app or a library have to care how many CPUs or cores the PC has? Surely that's the job of the OS?

    Sorry to disappoint you but I, and most of the MMORPG players I've ever met, don't fit into that stereotype at all. Some do, some are anti-social geeks but most are just regular people.

    Playing MMORPGs and doing physical activity are not mutually exclusive in any case; I play soccer every week, I do a lot of walking and I'm going to be taking up martial arts again real soon.

    But then I really should know better than feed a troll after being a member of this site for so long.

    The current crop of politicians and business leaders want to go back to the 'good' old days where poor people knew their place and demanding a wage you could actually feed your family on was liable to get you beaten up by corporate goons.
