Nowhere does the source claim what the slashdot submission claims.
Where the fuck is the quote about "default options" comimg from.
What the source actually says:
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.
"Especially in a community with elderly citizens (they have) difficulty in (casting their) ballot," Lomax said. "Team leaders said there were complaints (and the) race filled in."
It sounds like MeeGoo will be just another closed system like iOS.
"MeeGo is an open source project created by merging the Moblin and Maemo software platforms, and is led by the MeeGo Technical Steering Group (TSG). The governance model is based on meritocracy and the best practices and values of the Open Source culture. The MeeGo project lives under the auspices of the Linux Foundation."
(Abritrary high percentage pulled out my ass)% of people won't ever have to use the spare tire in their car. That spare tire is still vitally important to have though.
Also, the actual number of dead civilians is 100k I believe, not half a million
No, the Lancet report of 2004 estimated 98,000 excess deaths.
The followup of October 2006 estimated 654,965 excess deaths.
In September 2007 ORB produced an estimate of 1,220,580 deaths (later revised down to 1,033,000 when rural parts of Iraq were added to the survey).
The lowest available estimate, 107,152 civilian deaths, comes from the joke that is the Iraqi body count (deaths reported in the English language media - yeah, that's a real good source). The IBC themselves admit that this is an underestimate.
In any case it's clearly more than 100k, probably around 1,000,000.

No, if it's civilian infrastructure it's a war crime.
Sewage treatment plants are not military targets.
Well, it would be upsetting if it were true.
If fact it is upsetting because the whole slashdot article is a fucking lie.
Go check the source. Nowhere does it mention "default" votes, or language based defaults, or anything other than the screens being quite sensitive.
The slashdot article needs to be modded -99, TROLL.

So, that no taxation without representation thing, how's it working for you?
No, it's not another android:
MeeGo is a full linux, with a linux userland as well as kernel.
Code runs native, not in an interpreted virtual machine.
The kernel is the standard Linux kernel, without weird "extensions" for power management. (Google tokenised dead mice for details).
Development is done in the open, not behind closed doors at Google with the great unwashed getting a look at what's going on when Google feel like it.
Maybe the consumer thinks this "doesn't matter", but then the consumer thinks Microsoft write good software.
Bizzare. It's free for me.
No, many of them are doing worse.
At least the US isn't (yet) being run by people who think the way to deal with a recession is to cut spending.

No, dummies, MeeGo is not based on VxWorks. It's Linux.

Not so closed. Not single manufacturer.
"fine mist with trace of DNA" my arse.
That's it, we're fucked. The dreaming spires are to be replaced by office application training schools.
You don't go to university to be "trained" how to use a particular application. You go to university to learn how to learn.
(And to get shitfaced drunk of course).
But is that spare tire a feature of MO or OO?
Just like word'n'excel then.

What has the Catholic church got to do with it? This is about Finland, which is not a catholic country.
From the article:

Absolutely.
Did I tell you that the N899.999... is the the bee's knees?
In English we'd write "Slavs" not "Slaves".
And Russians are Slavs.
Maybe you meant Serbs? (Serbes en Français).
Nice is, of course, hell on earth. Estrosi reflects its awfulness perfectly.
An available pool of fresh organs for transplantation
It'll soon be available for ICL 1900 series mainframes running George 3.
Could be useful for this guy?
Uh, do that, go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Nah, if you're going to bug anything bug the Ground Zero strip club. (Full video, of course).
There are a total of 370,993 burglaries and 106,484 assaults per year in France. (Source http://www.nationmaster.com/red/country/fr-france/cri-crime&all=1)
So "only" 1308 people are robbed per day. (Assuming all assaults are robberies).
Things are not as bad as you seem to think.
'cos pdf is shit.
If you want to scan use deja vu.
My brother invented the internal combustion engine.
He was very sad when I told him it had been done before.
This is a true story.
