This is how most people will talk in the year 2015: " I was going to google my googled google, but then my boss's googley googler googled google google google."
Tom Simonite, the author of "the fucking article" is an idiot. The civil liberties groups who said "(the biometric-style tool could compromise the privacy of anyone who has their picture online)" are a bunch of morons. And kwdawson and holy_calamity should both be bitch-slapped for bringing us this asinine bullcrap.
I know anyone can look this up on acronymfinder.com, or find the answer to this question after clicking the link and then clicking the first reference to OLPC in "the fucking article", but does no slashdot article submitter* ever think "Hey I could save a few hundred dumb slashdot readers a couple seconds of lost productivity by simply including the definition to this acronym that maybe not everyone knows!"?!?
My question is why was this submitted by an anonymous reader? Why doesn't the submitter want credit for this? Could it have been submitted by someone who wants Australia viewed in a negative light?

Why is it launching from Antarctica?
I didn't know Antarctica even had a rocket launch pad.
Would anyone care to explain what the hell this has to do with my rights online?
Could this be anymore boring?
Two heads are not better than one, else this creature would still be around.

Please someone tell me this was not funded with wasted taxpayer money.
Else can we do a study on the over-estimated human sense of common?
There's a Christmas Cheer topic on /.? When did this happen?
Are there plans to add Hanukkah Cheer and Kwanzaa Cheer and Festivus Cheer topics?

The solution seems simple:
