You have all these (admittedly talented) programmers spending all this time on worthless projects when they should be spending time on something worthwhile, like a consistent user interface, easy OS install, or a decent media player.
Until the Linux Community learns this very important lesson, Linux will continue to be relegated to second class citizen status to superior OS's like Windows XP or MacOS X.
The founder/owner of Enic.cc is a friend of a friend whom I've met before. A couple of years ago I had heard that Enic had signed the deal with Laos, then I saw this article today, and it made me scratch my head.
Of course, he (Brian Cartmell) is kind of a blowhard, so maybe he was in negotiations and never actually sold.la domains.
Just curious.....

...when your post is nothing but insults directed at me. Why are you such an angry person?
Regarding my 'research', it took me all of 30 seconds to find it. And I'm not disputing GWB's victory in the election, I was simply making a point. Your language implies that the things you say are totally obvious, yet more people disagree with you than agree with you. Are you really trying to say that the 51 million people who voted for Gore are all idiots and the 51 million who voted for Bush are reeelly smart, just like you?
...so I was suggesting you up the level of wit a little.
You mean like you did?...the fucking liberals..liberal droids...can I touch you? Yup, pretty darn witty, nice job!
I find it curious that you spend almost the entire post trying to foist various things upon me with insulting intent, from being an avid Rush fan (I've listened to him a few times [keep your friends close and your enemies closer, dontchaknow], but if 'dittohead' is indeed 'played out' as you say, then it must have been a while since I listened to him, eh?), to saying I'm a follower, to implying that I'm a high-schooler, then I'm a 'left Libertarian' (I thought I was a 'liberal droid'?), then I'm 'unsophisticated'.
Why are you so insecure that you spend so much time insulting others? Did you have a bad childhood? Maybe you should consider therapy.
And for you to say that you're an 'independent thinker' is laughable, since you completely toe the 'we hate Clinton' line. Like I said before, let it go, man, he's not president any more and hasn't been for almost two years. Why not put more energy into talking about how wonderful your man W is instead of wasting time talking about Clinton?
I have an account with a 4-digit UID that used to have a karma of 43, until they played some of their bullshit on me, like taking away moderation priviledges and the ultra-lame lameness filter. I haven't posted under that account in I don't know how long.
Now I come by occasionally because there are certain stories that I only find on/., and to do a bit of Trolling here and there.
I wouldn't waste too much time or energy worrying about Slashdot. It will collapse under its own weight before too long, and something will come along to replace it.
Don't try to tell me you don't know what a 'dittohead' is, since I'm sure you spend plenty of time listening to Rush.
At least learn some better insults.
Hrm....
..you liberal droids...
You're one of those idiots...
...he's one of you pussy, non-violence, draft dodging, downsize the military, demagogues.
Please tell me where in my post I advocated non-violence or downsizing the military? Gee, you're not being presumptuous, are you? I'm pro-gun ownership, pro-strong military (we should be paying our military personnel much better than we are), pro-tax reduction. I'm also pro-marijuana decriminalization, pro-gay rights (including marriage) and pro-choice. Hmm, seems I'm really all about promoting FREEDOM AND LIBERTY, aren't I? Pretty tough to stick me in a box and slap a label on it.
Oh, and your use of the word 'demagogue' pretty much ices the fact that you're a dittohead, especially since you use it incorrectly, like Rush usually does. I suggest you look it up, webster.com is your friend.
Bush got more votes than Gore.
Uhh, you wanna come forth with your 'source'? Here's mine:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/results/
Those are minor pecadillos inflated by a bullshit war on drugs mentality.
Hmm, who started the 'War on Drugs'? Oh, that's right, Reagan and Bush! Remember recently when the republicans were all over Clinton because of the rise in drug use amongst teenagers? Did you know that arrests for marijuana possession doubled under Clinton/Gore? Fat lot of good the 'drug war' is doing, eh? The real addiction is the DEA and FBI and any other member of the drug war being addicted to the billions of federal dollars they receive to continue it. So far they've been much more effective at justifying more money than they have been at actually reducing drug use in this country.
And regarding Clinton's pardon of the fellow who supposedly embezzeled all that money (his name escapes me), which do you think is worse: pardining someone who embezzled money from a corporation or pardoning six people who may have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians? I'm talking about Iran-Contra, of course. Now we'll never know what anyone's role was in Iran-Contra, nor will we know if that fellow really did take all that money.
What I really don't understand is why people like you continue to be so infatuated with Clinton? He hasn't been President in 20 months! Let it go, man, let it go! And realize that GWB is just as corrupt as anyone else (Clinton included), he's just benefitting from the double-whammy of everyone supporting him after September 11th, and everyone being tired of the constant attacks against the office under Clinton.
But you don't care, you love all republicans and hate all democrats and ever shall it be. Enjoy you're little, narrow-minded, dittohead world, d00d, because you're right and anyone that disagrees with you is wrong! Oh, and they're all demagogues, too!
Let's see, 19 individuals, presumably trained and financed by Al Qaeda, led and mostly financed by bin Laden, hijack 4 airplanes and kill 3,000 people and it's ALL CLINTON'S FAULT!!
The Bush administration had been in office for 1 1/2 years, and even had information that something big was going down, but they weren't able to do anything about it, and it's ALL CLINTON'S FAULT!! (Some even suggest that maybe they let it happen to give them carte blanche to do anything they want, you certainly would be suggesting the same thing if it had happened on Clinton's watch, wouldn't you?)
G.H.W. Bush left Saddam in power, and also left 6,000 troops in Saudi Arabia (which is one of the main reasons Osama declared war on the US, according to him), and it's ALL CLINTON'S FAULT!!
Look, Clinton certainly bears some responsibility to this, but to say the he's SOLELY RESPONSIBLE is idiotic. Do you really believe that? You need to pull your dittohead out of your ass, shut off Rush Limbaugh and take a look around.
If the Democrats and Clinton/Gore are so terrible, why did more people vote for Gore than for Bush? If everything was as plain and obvious as you say, why did over 51 million Americans not feel that GWB was the best choice?
Things aren't black and white, bucko. Most politicians are corrupt one way or another, your boy George (pun intended) is no different. If the things that happened during Enron and the other scandals happened under Clinton, you and all your dittohead buddies would be screaming bloody fucking murder. But since it was your boy, it's your turn to say, "There's no evidence, and if the courts don't find anything Bush is innocent, and we shouldn't have a Senate investigation, that will just waste tax payer money divide the country." Sound familiar?
Of course, I don't know why I'm bothering saying all this to you. You already have your mind made up and refuse to consider any opinion that doesn't run perfectly in line with your little dittohead world.
...going to get it? Set up a fucking mirror before you post the links!!
What assholes. They spend hours upon hours with fucked up things like lameness filters and limited comments (which don't work, btw, there's just as much Trolling and crap-flooding as ever), and can't spend 10 seconds to mirror the files on their own servers so they don't suck down unsuspecting sites' bandwidth.
I wish I could keep from coming here because I hate giving them the hits, the fucking lusers. I just can't seem to keep away, though. Guess I'm a luser, too. How sad..........
It's common practice in a debate to take something to an extreme, as in, "Even Hitler was able to improve his country's economy" to show that just because a leader improved his country's economy doesn't automatically make him a good leader.
What, Godwin says I can't use Hitler but it's OK to use Stalin or Pol Pot or Hussein?

TOO fucking funny!
How could that post have been any more ON-topic?
Fucking moderators and their god damn crack pipes...
That was the shittiest Troll I've seen in a long time. Back to the drawing board, bucko...
Did you think that one up all by yourself? Or did your mom help you out?
()All of the above are equally lame.
Yeah, I know it's not funny. Prolly cuz itz troo.

Oh Lord, when will the madness END???
A comment that was Funny AND Insightful gets no moderation whatsoever simply because it's an AC post.

Jeez, relax, willya? No matter how pissed off you get, the morons are just as stupid.
And even if you do teach one to have a clue, the next one will be just as stupid, or stupider.
