The workers are still suffering even by their own standards. Many of them don't even have the land to farm that rice in that puddle of shit, if they'd like to make that choice, and besides, the money they get from Nike often isn't enough even for buying that rice so that they can get their daily meal. And the wages Nike pays them are poor even by their standards. Obviously, you don'n know what you're babbling about.
Nobody's saying Nike should pay Asian workers US minimum wages. All that they want are wages that would give them a sufficient living standard, and a fair share they deserve of the income, plus some proper working conditions.
Now there's more air in the prices of the Nike sneakers than in His Airness's head.
What the hell is 'racist' about supporting terrorism? It is unacceptable and disgusting, but hardly 'racist'. And yeah, that sig is funny because it's true. You get your oil from people like Saddam, for instance.
Yeah, my bad.
But on consoles, it was Nintendo who introduced the analog stick with the N64 pad. Sony et al copied that later, the original PS pads came with a standard digital cross button.
I liked the N64 stick more than the stiff rubbery buttons PS had.
Thanks for the link! I'll have a look at it and hope for the best.
The problem is that my Minolta/QMS PagePro 1100L laser printer isn't among the most common printers in this world... Which probably explains why I haven't found any Linux drivers for it.
SuSE's install process is also very smooth - much more simple than that of Win98 (and I've got LOTS of experience in that area).
But I still haven't got my printer working...
Exactly. The amount of software that comes with, for instance, SuSE, is kinda overwhelming for a newbie. And some of them (the software, that is, but may also apply to the newbies) aren't even that stable.
Believe me, you don't have to force the variety of software down a newbies throat right from the beginning. Once he/she becomes familiar with the Linux environment, he/she will start to look around and experiment more with more CD-players, browsers etc. Don't scare the newbie with a sh*tload of software and a situation where making a definitive choice becomes a nightmare.
Amen to that.
Maybe this is finally something that really works for newbies. I'm one myself, having tried migrating to Linux from Win9x a couple of times without success (although with SuSE 7.2 I came quite close).
Now if I only could get those TrueType fonts working properly and get the Windoze feel to the mouse under KDE...
Beep! Wrong. It was Nintendo who invented the analog stick controller. But looks like the fact that N64 never got as popular as PlayStation 1 has left the public ignorant...
Talk about it. I had never seen such a link before and was gladly surprised (I've got Moz 9.5) of its effect.
BTW, my first post at/. - um, hello everybody, or something.
Slashdot Mirror
Watch out for all that virii in those mouses.
:D
If the moderators knew some swedish, this would have been modded up already...
Well duh. "It's true, I saw it on TV!"
In this case, what you've seen on TV is actually true. But is that the entire picture? No.
Even a small percentage of people wealthy enough makes business profitable, when the population is over one billion.
Adam Smith was a man on Faith. Possibly not of the Jerry Falwell kind, though.
What?!?
The Swarm! You forgot The Swarm!
Who needs a spell checker when you've got a fully functional brain.
I'm sure the list of those grandmas running Netscape 3 on Win 95 who regularly visit Slashdot is almost neverending.
This guy still has a score of zero? Funnypoints needed! :D
Speaking of crack, I'm cracking up now, too...
I'm sure SW fans who speak like that actually do exist.
And I think you'll find that no one really much gives a shit about the inane ramblings of an anonymous coward.
Finally.
Standards. The magical word that will greatly help Linux in making the steep step from the nerd's toy box to John Doe's desktop.
Here's hoping United Linux is a trend setter.
The workers are forced by the conditions.

I won't stop complaining.
If we have global economy, we must have global human rights.
What the hell are you talking about? Basically, that roto guy said corporations have made the US economy the strongest in the world.
Not that the comparison between that claim and the fact that corporations are legally persons according to the US law would make any sense, though.

Enjoying beating that liberal strawman of yours?

Definitely a *meteorite*, since those do hit the ground. AFAIK, it's the *meteors* which burn in the atmosphere on their way down.
