    Give it a rest, the facts arent on your side. He was employed by them and they were presenting his fake photos are the real thing. There are a far more than one photo that he was manipulating. Take a look at this "missile launch". that used to be a single defensive flare. need i show more? just do a damn google search i cant post hundreds of photos here.

    yes if it were only one. The photographer in question was a reuters employee who regularly provided doctored photos. Reuters just got caught by conservative bloggers this time. See the wikipedia article for even more.

    even "news" photographs from are photoshopped by news outlets to present a one sided story. A good example is the Reuters photoshopped photos from the israel-lebanon war.

    Once they got caught the photos were killed, but hundreds of doctored photos made it on the front pages of news papers around the word anyway.

    So you think it is right to throw out the opinions of all europeans because of some foolish people? If you think that then I'll just throw out all US opinions due to your stupidity. huh? I didn't realize what some random asian thought has anything to do with what americans thought. dumb ass.

    > I think its an exceedingly poor idea from a PR perspective.

    I completely disagree. The world is NOT the United States. The opinions of the citizens of the world about the fortunes of Cuba do not necessarily align with the opinions of the Republicans in America.

    Many in the world believe that Cuba has been hurt more by the actions of the United States than by Castro. If you travel to Europe, you will likely hear a very different opinion of Castro and the history of Cuba.

    And even in this country, many are changing their minds about who has caused the Cubans to suffer most.

    So please don't confuse the PR perspective of the World from the PR perspective of the G.O.P. jesus are you an idiot. GOP responsible for cuban sanctions? WTF? I wasnt aware that kennedy, jhonson, carter and Clinton were republicans.

    As for using what europeans believe as a metric of anything, keep in mind there are euros who are so blinded by their hate for america that they thing Bush was responsible for the asian Tsunamis in 2004.

    So, do tell: What part of understanding the GPL results in such loathing?

    maybe the part where it is not fully free software and politically motivated. Compare the GPL to an apolitical free license like BSD.

    How do you tell a GPL advocate? Well, it's someone who reads the GPL. And how do you tell a GPL opponent? It's someone who understands the GPL.

    of course having people work specifically on wikipedia requires money. It cant be free and have employees at the same time. The amount of money raised right now is hardly enough. I guess this is the point where idealism meets the real world.

    MOD UP. if only i had mod points. the post you replied to was one of the most unintentionally funny posts ive seen on slahdot. i though it was like the linux quake 4 install troll that tells you to recompile the kernel until i looked at the string and saw it was a legit command to do the task described.

    People who claim linux is ready for the desktop need to figure out how many grandmas want to type "sudo apt-get install beagle python-beagle" in a fricking terminal window to get search working.

    That is illegal. An H1B MUST be paid the market rate. No doing so is the same as hiring an illegal worker.
