If i'm to be modded down to flames for offtopic-ness, well, I deserve it, but I need to get this off my chest:
I simply cannot read New Scientist anymore. When the site actually loads (regardless of slashdotting), every single article they publish seems to be the scientific equivalent of the paparazzi.
I mean, really, one thing is to have a non-peer-reviewed magazine, and an entirely different thing is to intentionally publish exagerated, ridiculous, absolutely un-proved (and almost always un-provable) "facts". Even the simplest of stories is spinned beyond recognition. If a story comes up of some scientists spotting a.00001% deviation from expected results researching *.*, right after they make clear that most likely it's due to faulty measurement equipment, New Scientist will publish that they found aliens, that they have a draft of the alien invasion plan, that Einstains's GToR is therefore void, and that in fact he himself WAS an alien trying to distract us from the truth. And then they _really_ start speculating and tell you that they infer from the inforamtion that Einstein was a shape shifter and that he was also the first husband of Melinda Gates.
Now, I haven't read this article (not that I could even if I wanted to, NS' site goes DoS when they're linked from my cousin's non-porn website), but I'm sure I'll get more substance out of/.er's comments than NS (if you can believe that!)
a correction, but Japanese is NOT a derivative of Chinese.. Japanese comes from the Altaic/Ainu branch, whereas Chinese derives from the Sino-Tibetan family. Very unrelated families there. However, you probably meant that Japanese imported the Chinese writing system, "hanji", which were then known as "kanji" in Japanese.
Mexico doesn't really have 'one unique culture'. There's a good two million that don't speak Spanish, but native Aztec dialects. The stereotype about Speedy Gonzales is more related to the Spanish descendants, NOT the natives.
Slashdot Mirror
That's right.

Why do people justify owning Macs just because it runs Linux? Face it, you love Steve Jobs and secretly desire to lick OSX/Aqua. Linux sucks, btw.

Intel needs to catch up to Apple. Did you see how the dualie G4 smoked that 1GHz PIII?
Completely agree :)
Does anyone have the feeling that another fiasco is abound?
It worked for OJ!
Considering Steve's ego, would he order an animated film on himself?
This time it is more likely.
Excellent reply. It is interesting to note how Jesus' teachings still apply two thousand years later.

I agree. "Hatred" is probably an ethnic issue, not political.
