It should be a validation of the power of linux that the letter (so far) survived/.ing. Even the images are still up. Why do people still think they need IIS?
So I'm guessing now the site *is* slashdotted you'll be withdrawing this linux 'boast' since it is now without foundation... right?
What I want to know is, what was he thinking? What does anyone else think?
a) WWF is real and the people really get hurt, therefore he was trying to kill his sister.
b) WWF is theatre and people don't get hurt, so he didn't realise his sister would get hurt.
c) Bodyslam now, think later.
If it's b), I have some sympathy for the lad - that to me would point to a problem with the way WWF is presented. Either of the other two, fry motherfucker, and best put his parents (if you can find both of them) in there too....
I think that's a pretty weak argument to be fair - no-one is saying that violent games are responsible for *all* of societies ills!
I have to say - in my opinion, violent material has no effect on well-adjusted individuals - however, we don't live in a perfect society so if banning violent video games stops some numbskull bodyslamming his sister to death it is certainly worth considering rather than dismissing out of hand!
If it's unconstitutional to ban any old idiot from buying a firearm I have to say the chances of it being constitutional to ban video games is pretty damn low.
Hey, couldn't this technology be used to enforce things like the frnech government banning yahoo's nazi memorabilia auctions? They had the ludicrous situation where they were taken of yahoo.fr but still on the others - but if you could *enforce* that french users went to yahoo.fr....
For Sports they could play Quake 3 tournament demos. With commentary and replays. I'd watch every week!
You know when sometimes you get in from the pub late, and catch late-night tv, and all the ads are for like sex chat lines and sex contacts. Just *imagine* what the ads would be like during a quake tournament broadcast!
>>Do you honestly think that more than 5% of new Windows PCs are not online within the first month?
I think the keyword there is 'new'. There are like a billion 3.11 pc's in China alone.
Either way, my main point is that all Linux users have internet access, whereas not all windows users are online. So, assuming they'd picked sites which all people go to (a wild assumption, I admit), all linux users would visit there, abnd therefore all linux desktops would be recorded, whereas there would be loads of offline windows users who wouldn't be recorded.
ok. you post at -1 karma. I post at +1 karma (even though I waste a shitload arguing with fuckards like yourself). Therefore, generally, people think more of my posts than yours.
Hmmm - my theory is that very close to 100% of Linux users will have internet access, whereas Windows has wayyyyy less than that. But it's just a theory:).
HA, and the conspiracy threories come out already! I really don't think any one has motive to pretend that Linux has a lower end-user figure than it has, when it is such a minuscule figure - or are you suggesting that the figure is out by 20-50%???

It's more the manner they eat it that bothers me. They remove the tops of dogs heads and eat their brains whilst they're alive - nice!
YAY - it's politically correct man! Newsflash - things that are true aren't racist. Here's a quick quiz for you
:)
Which statement is racist?
a) In Korea, they eat dogs.
b) Black men are all stupid idiots.
Did you pick a)? Then you're an idiot
In Korea, all the major computer gaming competitions, Starcraft...
In Korea, they eat dogs. Korea are not a great cultural light for us to follow.

Woh, you're tough AND scary. Respect.
As soon as Linux is taken up by the general business population, we'll see it infiltrate the general home desktop scene.
As soon as pigs start to fly, there will be a car that can travel 1,000,000 miles on a teaspoonfull of petrol.
Sorry, just my interpretation...

He did say 'more people would be using Linux', as in more than 0.24% (or whatever the figure was).
