Ok I don't think anyone has said this yet which is weird but also expected considering this is slashdot. But One: This, while perhaps necessary, is actually a really stupid move, PR wise. I mean on what planet did they think this would not be controversial, and reflect badly on them. Any good PR person would hv said this was the single worst move they could make.
And two: this is, or at the very least will be percieved to be, very sexist and racist. People will say it is because she is South African and doesn't look like a woman and that they are being racist.
It is therefore a very stupid move. Don't think anyone's said that so thought I would just post this long random speculation.
Is it just me or is this old news? Surely people have been doing this for years? Telecommunicating, from home or coffee shops, is hardly news. However, I can't imagine a better way to work, as long as you've got the self-discipline to actually work and not just spend all day on facebook and chatting on skype; few do.
Christianity doesn't tear people away from their families. It doesn't steal its followers money or follow and intimidate anyone trying to investigate it.
Perhaps if you knew something about christianity you might be able to post something vaguely truthful about it but you haven't so let me inform you. Christianity is an open religion, not a mysterious and closed cult.
Christians believe that Jesus died so that we don't have to get punished for all the shit we've done, and if you ask to be forgiven you can go to heaven when you die.
Scientologists believe that: "Xenu (sometimes Xemu), introduced as an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy." According to this story, 75 million years ago Xenu brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and detonated hydrogen bombs in the volcanoes. The thetans then clustered together, stuck to the bodies of the living, and continue to do this today." - Wikipedia (otherwise known as fact)
Scientology is not only full of crazy beliefs and ideas but it is dangerous. It is run by an incredibly charismatic conman who splits up families, takes children from their parents and cons as much money as it can out of its followers. If you read about all the damage this cult has done you'll realize why it is NOTHING like christianity. And if you find out the truth about christianity rather than relying on what you think you know or what you've heard then you'll realize that scientology is nothing like the love and forgiveness you can find there.
In other words, you're wrong on the internet. So very, very wrong.

pawned! classic. Well done sir
That is so hilarious. I laughed so hard at :"This relationship is headed for an epic fail young lady!"
Just brilliant. "Too long, did not listen."
yeah that's what a load of people did over here with the fucking BMP and anything that gives racist nutters like them seats can't be good.
It's also very unlikely, sad as it is.
It's america. Guns man :D
I'm gonna post a real reply to your comment and say you are right sir! I think it'll take years to work out who's fault this is, it's so convoluted.
This is absurd. They used programs to create their Alpha Engine. Does that mean that whoever wrote those programs owns their engine? It'll never fly.
