Yeah. A rental truck full of fertilizer and diesel fuel vs. 2 commercial airliners. Thats a good comparison. Those militia guys must be saving their pennies.
Probably the air traffic controller's Linux based computers crashed. I knew it was only a matter of time before the widespread use of GPL'd software resulted in a loss of life.
Did you berate Linux for its lack of functionality? Did you violate the postersubj compression filter, as I did when attempting to give props to the guy who posted an ASCII squirrel?
Please explain which law the merger would violate.
Don't waste my time replying with "The laws against molopolies", because I'll just get pissed off and start swearing. I just want to know whether you actually have any sense, or whether you are one of those people who heard on TV that there were 'laws against monopolies' and you think they apply in this case.
Wiping out all animals (including bugs, birds, etc) and most of the plants (the rest of whom probably mutate) isn't exactly environmentally friendly.
Hell if it isn't. It is a universally accepted fact that non-humans cause far more environmental destruction that humans. To back this up, here are some facts from a whacked out, leftist environmental group that admits that animals are the cause of environmantal harm:
About 22% of the world's catch of tuna goes into cat food in the United States.
Cats are destroying the world's tuna population.
Nationwide, grandparents annually spend an average of $195.24 on their companion animals and $178.68 on their grandchildren
'Companion animals' are taking food out of the mouths of children.
In 1998, there were 56.8 million dogs and 71.3 million cats in U.S. households.
In the US alone the dog and cat population is skyrocketing.
Sea otter fur is the thickest fur of any animal. It has up to 1 million hairs per square inch -- a human has only about 20,000 hairs on his or her entire head.
Sea otters are hogging all of the world's fur supply, leaving other animals with nearly none.
Cattle produce nearly 1 billion tons of organic waste each year.
Our groundwater supply is being contaminated by thoughtless cows.
According to the U.S. General Accounting Office, more plant species in the U.S. have been eliminated or threatened by livestock grazing than by any other cause
Another crushing blow by the evil cow population. They must all be eradicated if we are to save Mother Earth.
Nearly half of the total amount of water used annually in the U.S. goes to grow feed and provide drinking water for cattle and other livestock.
Fucking bastard cows.
$37 million from taxpayers fund the trapping, poisoning, gassing, and gunning of nearly one million wild animals and birds each year in the name of "livestock protection" and "pest control"
Animals are soaking up precious tax dollars that could be used to feed poor people.
Almost two-thirds of all large mammal species are threatened or endangered in the lower 48 states. Less than 10% of all endangered and threatened species in the U.S. are improving.
Despite our prodding, 90% of endangered species have failed to improve their lot. I, for one, have supported them long enough, its time for them to take some responsibility for themselves.
About 20% of all endangered and threatened species are harmed by grazing.
Again with the cows.
Take a look at this if you dispute my evidence. I think wiping out all non-human life would be the best move we could make if we want to preserve this earth for our enjoyment.
Could you explain how Mr. Nader came to be the moron he is today? Was he mentally abused as a child? Did he live in an area where there were high concentrations of lead in the soil? Possibly he drank a lot during his teen years, maybe some bad acid?
Why does he hate corporate America so much? Did he buy a stale bag of chips, then find out the the 'Return unused portion' thing was a sham? Is he mad because he couldn't cut it as a businessman? Is he jealous of my Ford Expedition?
Why do you people want to enact legislation that drives business out of the US? Does it make you feel good to see homeless people? Are you happy when you read about the jobs you have cost the blue collar sector? Do you know how many children of autoworkers you have stolen food from?
Why did you join his ranks? Was it the sex? The crack? Why do an interview with Slashdot? Do you like the new Slashcode 2.2? Windows ME or 2000?

You mean cyborg_monkeys?
You Europeans sure are sharp. Maybe some of you will get a call from the FBI to help in the investigation.
Yeah. A rental truck full of fertilizer and diesel fuel vs. 2 commercial airliners. Thats a good comparison. Those militia guys must be saving their pennies.
Probably the air traffic controller's Linux based computers crashed. I knew it was only a matter of time before the widespread use of GPL'd software resulted in a loss of life.
In other words: Expect Slashdot to go down for 6-8 hours tomorrow without explanation.
By the way: Does purduephotog have anything to do with Purdue University?
Larry? Larry Augustin?
No, you are thinking of Chip's Challenge, a rather wonderful little game written and distributed by Microsoft.
Did you berate Linux for its lack of functionality? Did you violate the postersubj compression filter, as I did when attempting to give props to the guy who posted an ASCII squirrel?
Violent.

Violent
Loki [lokigames.com] has also ported it to Linux
Intellectually violent.
and thier port is flawless.
No, its flaw is that it runs on Linux.
They can't play chess, it as violent as hell. Look at what it did to Bobby Fischer.

Taco and crew went through quite a bit of trouble to end this First Post stuff, can't you just give the man the respect he doesn't deserve?
The glory comes when we get to breathe all their air.
Yes they do. How else to explain their decision on the presedential election.
You're lucky I don't work at a restaurant, I'd whip your Tack ass if you tried to instruct me to do anything.
If he needs a whole bag he must be headed over to the geek compound.
I assume the you in your sentence refers to me, as you have no friends, much less anyone to party with.
You should start smoking weed, or huffing gas, there's no chance of chirrosis with those.
Yeah, I trust the word of a guy who was in a Fellini movie.

Is StatOffice Ready To Take On Office?
Note that you don't have to state MS Office, because everyone already knows what you mean. No, StarOffice is not ready to take on Office.
