BSD to Leapfrog Linux?

It comes down to this: I'm sick of evangelists who Know the One True Path to Enlightenment, and feel that sullying themselves with broader knowledge (not to mention history) would be Blasphemy. Or maybe they're just scared to find out that Linux (or BSD, or even Solaris or ANY single OS) isn't the perfect, magic, foolproof solution to everything.
Excellent post!
I recently had to put up with an intern who believed Linux was so next to Godliness, that it should be run on all hardware architectures as the one true OS.
Originally, the ideaology of 'blocking by domain name' was a poor concept, as many posters have pointed out.
Nowadays some content filters such as Symantec I-Gear go much further. They will scan the HTML code with regular expressions (including foreign languages) to help detect if a site contains objectionable material.
Our company has been using I-Gear for a year now, and from the monitoring of our I-Gear logfiles we have found that employees have been blocked from 99% of objectionable sites with I-Gears new methodology.
The downside is that every now and then with all categories 'blocked', our users will come across a legitimate site that is unintentionally blocked by I-Gear. (But these can be quickly excluded from the filtering.)
I believe that the technology you're looking for is available today in a reasonable working state. Its just too bad that public places such as libraries, schools, etc, don't investigate the availability of such software thoroughly.
If I come to the decision that the representative of a political party is worth voting for, I will vote.
However, in the case of this coming election, I don't think that either of the representatives are worthy of being the President, so I will not vote.
Why can't there be an option on the ballot paper for a 'No Vote'. If the 'No Votes' are the majority then the political parties should choose another representative.
I wonder if such a system would work? I'm tired of either being forced to vote for someone I believe is not worthy, or not having a say at all.

Apart from some grammar errors, this has to be one of the most mature comments I've heard.
