The posts I have seen so far are completely rediculous to me. They contain catch-phrases such as "Bush Domination." A lot of these posters fail to face reality. The nations listed have a vested interest in destroying the USA. China wants Taiwan and the others are self-evident. The second part of the article just explains that Bush wants to develop SMALLER nuclear weapons to use in tactical situations (i.e. to use on cave conplexes akin to those found in Afghanistan). These tactical nuclear weapons are far less destructive and can be used in smaller areas to reduce the amount of unintended deaths. I see this as a good thing personally. I think the slashdot community is going to take an anti-defense/anti-american stance on any controversial issue without even thinking about the ramifications of said issue. Please think this out rationally without resorting to the typical anti-american knee-jerk reactions.
They're not doing it to hurt Microsoft, they are doing it to line their own pockets because Microsoft's monopoly status has been proven in court. It will be much easier for them to collect damages in this case.
I actually bought a version of PGP Personal Security 7.0.3 from these guys. It comes with some nice extras such as a very nice firewall. It's a shame that not enough people contributed to the development. Hopefully they will open source the latest version so that development can continue for long after one year.
It always amazed me why China connected to the public internet anyways if they are going to censor everything except the stuff _they_ want their citizens to see. Wouldn't it have been much more efficient to build the network and not connect it to the public internet? All they would have to do then is place information on their network they want their citizens to see. In any even, it's pretty screwed up.
What? It's their property; They can put as many security cameras as they want on their property just like you can do to your home. They can also CHOSE which music they want to sell. You don't have to shop there. You act like they are forcing you to shop there. Get real. I don't know what moron modded that up.
I've said from day one that The Register cannot be trusted. They are fanatics and 90% of the time they get the story wrong or sensationalize it to the point that it is completely wrong. I still don't understand why slashdot links to anything on The Register. They have proven time and time again that the stories posted on their site don't reflect fact. I think slashdot links to them becuase most of the time the stroke the ego of the open source/linux zealots.
Because their website is not going to benifit them for the games. It's just a waste of money. No one is going to choose to go to the games becuase of their website.
What? Without the ad money from the ads they put on AIM, they wouldn't even bother to let you use their service for free becuase they would be losing money on it. So you want a free ride that AOL has to pay for? Don't you see the hypocricy in your post?
Anyways, I will not be responding to this thread anymore becuase my educated and factual responses are being responded to in a fashion by you in a fashion which is uneducated and rant-like. Thanks.
If you don't believe in freedom of thought becuase it might endanger citizens based on some crazy thought of moral depravity, you should move to China and see how much you like it. Quit trying to rationalize their government's way of thinking. That's why most of their citizens live in poverty.
By the way, there is a big difference between protecting your citizens from death and protecting them from dissenting thought like China is doing. See the difference? Of course, I dont expect you to see it becuase you are blinded by your bias and radical thought/rationalization.
Becuase that terrorist organization killed 3000 people in 30 minutes. It's a national threat becuase of that. I don't believe that porn has caused death on such a massive scale no matter how you look at it. You are trying to rationalize your original thought with insane analogies that really do not add up.
What? Them telling people about it has nothing to do with the actual point they are trying to make. They want to prosecute people based on pornograpgy, violence, or cult/religous thoughts. How you make a parallel between China and the USA in that regard is beyond me.
I'm sorry if your views are extremist. I didn't write it. I was pointing out how you were wrong by merely quoting facts I read in the article. Read the article please.
Your extremist views pretty much negate any thoughful comment you had in that post, and that's a shame. There is a big difference that I pointed out in my original post. Email sent here in the USA does not have limitations on pornography (look at all the porn email now, although a lot of it constitutes spam), violence (unless it's a threat toward someone specific), or any idealogical/religous/cult thoughts. That isn't so in China. Sending a lot of emails we send here in the states would be illegal in China. Putting China's screening techniques on the same level as the USA's once again shows your liberal bias. Remember, it's easy coming up with complex conspiracy theories. Backing them up isn't so easy when they aren't true. That's the easy way out.
No, there's a BIG difference between what the USA and China does, and you would know that if you would have read the article. What you just said states your massive liberal bias that is found on the majority of this site. Such things that are not allowed in China's emails include violence or pornography. By the way, here's a more informative article: http://www.ananova.com/yournews/story/sm_498876.ht ml
Such things that are outlawed include "Outlawed writings include any that reveal state secrets, feature pornography and violence or advocate cults."
See the difference there? Thank you.
Simple question..

The Euro

· Score: 2, Interesting
Why did Britain (the country with the most stable currecny) opt out of using the Euro?
Because the HURD doesn't use the same kernel design as linux. It isnt built to be a monolithic kernel. It is supposed to be a usable microkernel. We'll see how fast that catches on...

Would you be "flattered" if I stole your wallet? Same concept, different medium. Get real.

What the hell does this have to do with the topic? Someone mod this stupid troll down.

They created another domain for it at http://www.saltlake2002.com. They have all the information about the games there.
You got it backwards, moron. He's stating the Fallicies, and he states that Open Source is one of them. Good job making an ass of yourself though.
*This just in*: Every link crashes Netscape 4.61 on RedHat 6.2.
HAHAHA
nuff said.

I have no clue how this even got modded up.

It's completely revalent becuase that's the basis of them filtering the email.
