  1. Why? I'll tell you why: on Xfce: Alternative to GNOME/KDE · · Score: 1
    Because both the other leading desktop environments are morally corrupt. Using GNOME implies your implicit support of the GPL and Communism, while using KDE demonstrates un-Chrisitan, nihilist leanings - even their very name has no meaning! With GNOME as the sole domain of warez traffickers, Napster users, and terrorists, and KDE as the exclusive territory of blasphemers, child pornographers, and murderers, what is a decent, God-fearing X user in search of a desktop environment to do?

    Use XFce, of course: it's the right thing to do.

    This unit has not yet been brainwashed by the Slashdot collective. He must be liquidated immediately.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Which statement sounds right to you:

    1. GE will spend billions of dollars to see from space what brand of shirt I'm wearing.
    2. a bunch of overfunded paranoid spies will spend billions of dollars to see from space what brand of shirt I'm wearing.

    Honestly, you couldn't have figured this out on your own?

    Actually, a little-known fact is that the Pentagon, the NSA, and their non-US equivalents actually give out all their most secret R&D for free! Yes! For free! Anyone can have it! Go ahead, take some!

    So, yes, I find it very puzzling that nobody's launched one yet.

  6. Re:Huh? (Fscking troll!) on CueCat At It Again · · Score: 1
    We're attacking their "inellectual property" because DC hasn't got the cojones to specify exactly what sort of inellectual property is being infringed.

    Right. Next you'll be telling me that Napster is "protecting the artists."

    Furthermore, If you're the real Bruce Perens, I'm Mickey Mouse.

    Hey, if you say you are, I'm not going to argue.

    Slashdot readers? Buying intellectual property? As in, paying money for it? Not stealing it?

    Please. Don't make me laugh.

    I don't see a statement here attacking copyright.

    their 3rd grader calibre "encryption" of their "intellectual property"

    Also see any Slashdot article on Napster, the RIAA, DeCSS, etc.

    However, also notice that this attitude is abruptly reversed whenever the GPL comes up.

    I don't see a statement here attacking corporations.

    You mean Slashdot's endless crusade against any corporation worth anything (read: that actually attempts to make money) doesn't count?

    I don't see a statement here saying that it's OK to break contracts. [The persons being attacked by DC never entered a legal contract with them].

    Taco says to go ahead and hack your CueCat even if your EULA says no. What am I missing?

  10. oh please on Contracts: Company Insurance For The Future · · Score: 1
    You're cutting Slashdot far too much slack here.

    Slashdot has decided that money is morally wrong. Therefore the unconditional support of Napster, the GPL, DeCSS,and warez.
