    Depressed people have probably heard this alot, but please don't suicide. I was very depressed once myself I know what it's like.
    We don't get depressed because we have a bad day. You know about 9 out 10 cases of depression go away with magnesium and omega 3 supplementation and the other tenth aren't too difficult to figure out either. Most people are depressed because they eat a bad diet and they eat a bad diet because they are depressed. Please go look this all up on Google and make yourself educated about what really causes low mood. The depression can often go away like magic when you address whats really wrong.

    You forget that those events that the west doesn't seem to care about, it probably wasn't just the west.

    It's not like we don't care, it's just so many earthquakes happen

    we see it on the news and don't even blink.

    I doubt people in India cared about the earthquakes

    It is important for new discussions to take place whenever the editors feel like it.

    Obligatory Wikipedia reference I think it's interesting that slashdot get mentioned as a prime example of an Internet Troll, even above the usenet examples. It's also 80% of the size of the original article. This is the specific example you need
    Naked and Petrified From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Naked and Petrified was the anonymous name of a tenacious and successful Internet troll on Slashdot. His method was to invariably link whatever topic was being discussed to the idea of a "naked and petrified" stone statue to which he was supposedly sexually attracted, commonly involving the statue being smothered in grits. Actress Natalie Portman, the main female star of The Phantom Menace, was a common target of this supposed affection. The moniker is most likely a reference to a scene in The Rocky Horror Picture Show in which the heroes are all turned into naked statues for amusement and titillation. Sexual attraction to statues, mannequins or immobilised people is in fact the recognised fetish agalmatophilia. The Greek myth of Pygmalion bears witness to the long history of this fetish. The effects of the troll were minimised when Slashdot instituted a moderation system for hiding these posts from most users.

    Do you know why John Carmack never put protection
    in Doom, Doom2, etc...? It's because he knew it
    was futile, being a former hacker himself.
    Also, and this is my guess, he knew that giving
    Doom no protection or serial number would ensure
    that everyone everywhere would tryout the game
    with it completely unprotected. Then people
    would really be talking about it. "Hey dude
    you've gotta check out this game, is freakin'
    awesome, here just copy my disks"!

    It's the shareware concept, just taken further to
    a new and unspoken height. It's not anyone would
    come out and say it's ok to copy their software,
    but secretly or subconsciously they know that
    piracy is good, it helps spread awareness about
    software and word of mouth advertisement.

    Kind of offtopic, but I propose that the reason New Orleans is so tawdry is the oppressiveness of Catholicism, the prime religion here. Other places in America are mainly Protestant, I'm told.

    Growing up, I always thought everywhere in America the Catholic interpretation of Christianity was the majority.

    Are you a complete idiot? Don't you see the amazing potential of HURD? Think about it. If you had a system where you could multiplex the whole system without root access, you would still have security problems, but those would be confined to that percentage of the system, and not affect other things. You could donate processors to the whole lan, or the whole internet. You machine is sitting idle? Someone else in your house or business could use those cycles or a defined percentage of them. I think Tunes will achieve this computing ubiquity before anything else You can see on their Wiki that the project is not dead.
