I'm not even American, my views are neutral. Quite amusing really how you see this and jump to believe the poster was American. Jeez, America is so introverted today! Anyways, your parties are both stupid and misrepresented, and I wouldn't care who said something by accident and then corrected it. See it for the facts, Gore didn't sit down and think, "Well... I invented the Internet!" Sheesh, maybe it's a little beyond you, but I wouldn't care if any republican had done the same thing.
I feel Slackware had its glory; and now it is behind the times, and quite frankly, unless you have the time to keep it up to date with patches, etc, it's no better then any other distribution in any way. Red Hat is a wonderful distribution. Security updates and fixes right into an intergrated GUI (RHN in this case.) which you can try for free. Your views are naive in the extreme, for one thing, I must add, it is "Slack". 'Slak' is not a word, and surely doesn't abbreviate or make a decent short form for Slackware. Your analogy between "Dead Rat", or, as most *human* (new word, check www.dictionary.com, buddy) people call it, "a well-updated platform with a team of skilled developers and wonderful documentation" and Slackware is no less than a thousand short comings. Out of near 275+ Red Hat installs I have observed, assisted with and trouble shooted, only a few have ever had problems, and they were due to previous operating systems installed (a la Windows), and I simply walked them through repairing LILO configuration to set lba32 and boot Linux default from a different partition. Seems like I have been side-tracked, but no, not really. The point I would like to convey here is out of several hundred installs, only a few were messed up (by an anomylous OS:P) and the fix was simple. Out of many many Slackware installs I have also forseen, there have been times where I clearly stated the partitions to use using their tools, and it still installed incorrectly and not to my specifications. We installed four times with the same options before it used the correct setup! Using Slackware for 6 years may have made you old and senile with their old, dusty tools; as it seems that trying new things (a la RedHat, and further, probably getting updates to Slackware, knowing your mind) is slightly beyond your comprehension, I suggest you merrily use your tools and keep them to yourself. Don't inflict Slackware on people who want to use a distribution that comes pre-setup.
Furthermore, It seems like all I've done is stone Slackware to death, I'll give Slackware a few points now, but really, I don't have many. Slackware comes installed with very few applications/utilities. It is good for a completely custom system, but when your friend who is just an average user apparently wants to use Red Hat, which comes setup with everything he'd ever need, then you should let him. Don't force him into a Slackware Linux closet!
Anyways, the morale of the story is: Don't let people who spell their favourite distributions name wrong set it up on your Linux machine!
Al Gore himself mis-spoke, he never meant at all to imply he invented the Internet. If you had actually seen it, you would know this. If you can honestly tell me you have never slipped up and said something hysterically funny like this, then something is seriously wrong with you.
Lol, nod. We could find Bin Laden right away by using OpenGL wallhack. I can see it right now! Bin Laden comes out of his cave for a minute, real slow, and some US army guy blasts the crap out of him..

I've seen this mis-spelling of Rogue Spear, and it makes me laugh every time. It's not Rouge Spear! Rouge = French for Red! It's not, never was, and hopefully never will be "Tom Clancy's Red Spear".
Also, when the only browsers that are allowed to connect are Netscape and Internet Explorer; this will give Microsoft the edge to say that IE is far more popular in that field, because all non-IE users who use this trick to access MSN will be using simple tricks to display their User-Agent as being Internet Explorer.
Too late, fool. Why do you even try to get the first post? It doesn't really do any good; just shows how sad you are to sit there waiting for new posts.
Amen. Mod parent up, and, as usual, the slow-minded Slashdot moderators will mod me down as troll or something of the like, showing me their true lack of wit and intelligence to respond with some stupid pseudo rank('moderation'), and not with words.
You neglected to mention Industrial Manslaughter and Industrial Sabotage. ^_^
I wonder if you can do what I always did ...

Well, I, for one turned on cheats and crushed the dawning civilizations with waves of Howitzer's and nuclear missiles.. When they asked for audience I told them to stick it ^_^.
Heh, you moderators call us 'offtopic trolls'. You must be some of the biggest trolls I have seen in my life, all you do is sit here and wait for annoying posts to mod them down. Is this what you do? Within 10 seconds... Offtopic. Who is the troll? ^_^.
I mark this story here-by first posted. Fall before the supremecy that is this post, and know that all your posts will follow me, only a tail in my greatness.
The moderators here are truly stupid. If anything, _they_ are flamebait. To the point, I have now dedicated my own postings to the Holy Crusade (TM), and I will attempt to gain the lowest karma known to man! Anyways, the parent of this comment has a bright post, and any stupid/. moderator who cannot see this should, um, stop making pro-Slashdot biased mods to hush people here.
This guy is a fool, mod him down as a troll. That site will be fine in 3 years, even with his life efforts into hacking it. Untouched. Moron script-kiddies.
Resumming this article:
We have waited long for this day! QT3 should make from some interesting new software in this field. The database intergration looks intriguing, but it will no doubt have numerous bugs.
</redundancy>
Yeah, give Hollywood any news on this plot, and sure enough, a film with regards to the blood-thirsty LEGO(r) beast will be out. Then JonKatz will give a completely obvious and cliche review about it; which of course we could have all picked up just by watching a commercial.. uhh.. nevermind./me goes to turn JonKatz off of authors list:P
You know, I've seen alot of blunt and to be frank, quite stupid comments about 'nuking the afghans', etc. I have to make this point, as seeing you people go off on rants about how nuking them away would be such a merry solution, well you know what? Maybe it takes a long time for such thoughts as, oh, say, the aftermath to sink in, but lets imagine this (pause here, as it may take a while for your simple mind to key in to 'imagine'!).
Lets say this happens: United States gets more Afghan terrorist attacks, and the source is proved to be Usama bin Laden's planning once again. Furious, Bush presses the literal nuke button and nukes Afghanistan. America then feels momentary satisfaction; Usama is dead, along with every Afghan in the region. Then the rest sinks in. Countless Russians, Germans, Chinese die horribly with disease and suffering, which Bush is of course, completely against. Lets not forget your British friends who are all-America (or so they say) in this war. You are spreading disease and disorder to your "friends", whose future generations will grow to hate America. Even localized, peoples food, water, all affected by the radiation. Tell me, friends, is it worth the nuclear attacks on the Earth for the immediate satisfaction then a future of *further* American-haters? Even you will become sick or die *possibly* from the nuclear attack eventually, by inhalation or poisoning. I say, covert or military strikes to destroy Usama and his terrorists.
Even if Usama dies by military/covert attacks, there are his brothers in terrorism who will go to new heights, enraged by Usama's death, and using it as new ammunition to teach people how "evil and horrible" the Americans are. Not a good situation to be in at all, once again, further generations of more centralized, yet more dangerous American-haters.
This leaves me with one, rather amusing conclusion. The only relatively "safe" way for Usama to die would be by some sort of weather-effect, ie. lightning striking him. The chances are so astronomical that it probably would never happen; but wouldn't you call it poetic justice? Smited by Allah, I'm sure that would put off alot of his interesting friends in their endeavours to attack America.
Oh, and on another note-- why would you call it Stan? Is there any 'Stan' left there? ^_^.
By your standards, its most probable I could claim every country in the world bans free speech in some way or another. Your analogy is flawed, and naive. Also; who wants racism? I'm sorry, but I am independant to what race(/colour/religion) someone is, and if you feel you have the right to harass or distinguish someone over it, then I suggest you slither back to the cave you formed from.
Protecting unpopular speech? You understand that people have commited suicide, not to mention mass murder over racist comments? Protection of the people first; the German government apparently seems to be getting the right idea by placing laws against this kind of horrible "speech". Anybody who is so inhuman to say these things shouldn't have rights themselves, and that is the key exactly. Inhumanity. People who would advocate or make racism (/racist comments) lack intelligence to the degree that they cannot recognize a fellow human, and thus put them down with stupid comments in some vague
Well, it seems that your post name is exactly as it implies, 'an anonymous coward'. Do you have any solid grounds for this? I'm not german, and I live on the other side of the world from germany, so this may somewhat invalidate my point of view, but I believe that the country of Germany has really gone up-hill with free speech, etc. from stories and first-hand accounts I have read. They aren't the enemies anymore, fool.

Yes, mostly a "trick" for Microsoft; no treat :P

That's because even ethereal beings's won't bite any of JonKatz' garbage.

Lol.. Some taliban guy comes out of the caves, and a US special forces member headshots him. All you hear from the cave:
[Taliban]Omar: YOU LLAMA WALLHACK AIMBOT CHEATER!

Mod parent up! Insightful! Its c-o-l-o-u-r, or maybe "ya'll" are too stupid to grasp the concept of that advanced 'u' sound!

Oh, you call me a troll eh? Your an OGRE! Beat that, /. scum!
