Hating the French and Mexicans is high fashion among the Dixie Republicans and Midwesterners, I doubt they even know why. However they lack the ability to successfully identify the objects of their derision. On a recent trip to Atlanta, GA I was confronted by a few women bemoaning the fact that my family were a bunch of wetbacks here on the dole, and couldn't even be bothered to learn the language. This was wrong on a number of different levels: I am an American Citizen, as is my Daughter. My Girlfriend is Cambodian. We are all legal residents of Austria. My girlfriend had a tourist visa (as we were on holiday). We were speaking German between ourselves and I was trying my best to translate. Despite having lived in Atlanta for a number of years in the past, I was absolutely amazed to be subjected to this sort of hate.
In comparison to global political ideology Ron Paul is "Far Right". In comparison to the rest of the candidates (from both parties) for the 2008 United States presidential election he middle of the pack. He is also libertarian and this is what separates him from the Authoritarian candidates (This is all of the Republican candidates and all but two of the Democratic candidates). Conservative vs Liberal Ideologies and Libertarian vs Authoritarian are orthogonal ideologies.
So it makes perfect sense to call Ron Paul a far right conservative libertarian because these are exactly his political ideologies.
Please don't start with the socialist thing. Americans do not know what "socialism" is and they've co-opted the word to use as an insult. Much like "Liberal" and "Conservative" are no longer definitions of political ideology but epithets. In this black and white world of false political dichotomy there is no room for moderates and there is no understanding of any political ideology outside of those espoused by the two faces of the single American political party (Republicans & Democrats).
In much the same way that religious voters will tolerate massive corruption and sexual perversion from politicians who claim deep religious convictions (of the White Anglo Saxon Protestant variety only please) . American's will tolerate outright evilness on the part of the avowed anti-communist & anti-socialist capitalist businessmen and lobbyists.
If Slashdot had editors then I suppose this "the recent upswing in anti-kdawson sentiment" would be justified. However Slashdot does not have editors, it has copyists. These copyists wade trough the cesspool that is the "firehose" and select submissions that will be put on the front page and copy them there. I suspect this process is more a matter of elimination than of selection.
This being the case all this kdawson whining comes off being stupid and pointless. Not that have a overwhelming crush on this person... it just doesn't matter.
I think you are not going to have the response you hope for and the chat slang abbreviations you use aren't going to help. I'm not saying your English needs to be perfect, I know mine isn't But complete words and sentences will help everyone take you a little more seriously.
From Wikipedia "The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God" so I guess Islam does not mean "peace".
Comments like "The only reasons for war in Islam is defense of religion, state, self and other Muslims" are not helpful because *every* war ever perpetrated was sold on those merits. This is just a disingenuous as George W. Bush's preemptive war policies. The fact is that there are a lot of people running around killing each other and making people's lives miserable and saying they are doing because of Islam and not for example to rid themselves of an oppressive CIA installed and supported dictatorship.
Claiming that accusations that Muslims are racist are false and evidence is contained within the biography of one man "Malcolm X" does not really make sense to me, particularly given the actions of that man. Had you made the claim that Muslims are not on average more racist than Christians or Jews I probably would be more receptive to any evidence you wanted to put forth. (and I'll say this to me is very believable).
Claiming that Muslims do not marginalize women based on the successes of one women also holds no water. What would hold water is the claim that many Westerners are predisposed to believe that all Muslims marginalize women because many Muslim women wear various religiously motivated garments some of which look ridiculous, hot, and uncomfortable.
Now, having said all of that, don't get the idea that I am anti-Islam any more than I am anti-Christian or anti-Jew. I don't this group has any special right to spread their hate and I don't think that their speech shuld be protected.
OK I know this is a little off topic but why is it that Microsoft's spell checker guesses for what my English & German misspellings are, are far better than MacOS, Firefox on MacOS, and iSpell on OpenBSD?
I'm tired of hearing this lame ass excuse for every single immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional action of the Bush administration.
Past acts of different administrations have little to do with what goes on today. Saying unethical behavior on the part of US administrations is status quo does not suddenly make these actions ethical and unworthy of discussion.
"The innocent have nothing to fear" Only an Authoritarian would say this. Privacy is human right and it doesn't matter what I am doing, I deserve privacy. I could be having sex with girlfriend, I could be teaching my daughter to sail, or I could be searching for 'lolpigs' on the internet. Doesn't matter. In any civilized society judicial oversight would be protecting those rights.
This is not quite right as there is such a thing as libertarians.
I think what you mean to say is that: In America there are many traditionally conservatives abandoning the republican party and espousing the views of libertarianism. They still are conservative so they probably would be best called "Conservative Libertarians". I would suggest that this along the lines of the 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul.
This also is not to say that it is not possible to be both a Progressive and a Libertarian or both Socialist and Libertarian (as I am).
I have the opinion that part of what causes this confusion is that the vast majority of political dialog and opinion in the United States of America is both Conservative and Authoritarian... in fact all but 2 of the 2008 presidential candidates fall in this quadrant of political thought. This graphic shows what I am speaking of: http://www.politicalcompass.org/usprimaries2007
Yes, I want some my CPUs to only run code signed and trusted by me. Mind you, 'Trusted' doesn't necessarily mean only trusted by Intel, Microsoft, or some other untrustworthy corporation. 'Trusted' can mean trusted by me and only me and only on this server. You sound like you are confused and have never read any technical documentation on Trusted Computing and don't have a firm idea about the capabilities of the platform.
And I absolutely think discouraging hacking on my servers is a good thing. I've you want to hack feel free but stay the hell off my property while you do it.
Ain't that a great idea? OR even signed as compiled on that CPU/Motherboard/TCM and only signed executable run?
I'll bet money neither will ever get into widespread use. Pity.
As far as FlexLM goes, that is the single most annoying product that I come into contact with. Several of the software packages I use, use it and I hates it.
This describes my office perfectly. The corporate IT policy bans everything: USB flash memory; Digital Music Players (like my iPod); Portable exernal drives; coming in or out of the building with *anything* that can store data; Any website that even faintly looks like you could upload something (Flickr, Gmail, Hotmail, photobucket, &tc); any program not available on the corporate NetInstall craplet; any encryption any time any where. Every person outside of R&D has this massive WindowsXP install regardless of what they actually need or want.
I've seen them fire people over it.
however... all the managers have laptops and we go in and out every day with them. Each department have a fleet of burners and scanners. Every single member of R&D has at least 2 USB memory sticks. and I've been using my iPod everyday for over 5 years.
So what's the point? Surly I am not about to steal corporate secrets, and the mechanisms preventing me if I was inclined to do so, have nothing to do with site or IT security. A disgruntled employee who didn't understand the difficulty in marketing such things is in no way going to be able to figure out what to take and how to do so (or even be able to get to the part of the building where he could have access to the data). The segmentation of the network encourages the use external memory to transfer data from the segment containing the devices that create the data to the workstations of the people that analyze data.

Slashdot has no editors.
Only copyists.
Given that 1/8th is wrong in some way I was thinkng the same thing.
And I think it does point out how stupid it is.
As long as I can walk into the ministry of whatever and identify myself with a freshly produced stool sample I down with it
Had Bob Dole said it, it would have went more along the lines of: "Bob Dole chose the little blue pill and plugged Bob Dole right into her Matrix."

You lost me at "Bu...Bu...But Clinton!"

I am *still* amazed Uwe did so well.
And, yes, his movies still suck.
Some one has already clustered the PS3.
I'm surprised you didn't see that in your search.

Nice, I wonder how many people are going to fall for this and mod you up.
I figure RepRap has about 2 generations to go through before it becomes truly useful.
But the wait is OK with me, I'm more interested in building stuff than actual self bootstrapping.
What's the story with Sat providers?

Seriously... just lay off the stuff.
It's just as bad that your children don't develop a resistance to everyday germs.
My sister's got this weird OCD thing going with alcohol based antibacterials... she's beginning to sound like a heroin addict.
What you think I'm an idiot and can't use the internet? These lists are so outdated and incomplete they're an advertisement for using Linux.
If Fujitsu runs a Solaris newer than 8 I'm not aware of it.
Besides that's regular Solaris and I'm looking for hardware that will run X86 OpenSolaris.
