How could you possibly consider that "the right thing"?!? You verbaly assaulted a woman on the basis of the actions that a few people (who happened to be members of her religon) carried out. Religion is a tool of terrorism, it's not the other way around! Your actions (and dissapointingly the actions of the other patrons) show nothing but uneducated bigotry. What evidence did you have that she, in any way, approved of the attack! Do you approve of the actions of the KKK? Did you consider that she may of had a relative who worked in the WTC and was killed on Sept.11. And yet you congradulate yourself on you actions and affirm that you are a true American!
I have to admit when I read "We here at Slashdot would like to take the time to say that strong competition and innovation have been the twin hallmarks of the technology industry, and if the future is going to be as successful as the recent past, the technology sector must remain free from excess regulation." I thought it seemed a strange comment for the story, as a number of other postings pointed out berrating the posters position. However upon checking the story in the L.A. times I realized that this was merely an ammalgamation of two of the phrases that were found to be repeated in the pro-microsoft letters so everyone please realize that this was not an endorsement of microsofts point of view but instead a joking statement.
