Let's hope that the government continues to cram religion down everyone's throats whether they want it or not! God be praised!
There is no reason for those 2 words to be in there at a public school. If people want to proclaim their allegiance to God, that's fine, but a publicly-funded school isn't the place to do it.
I actually had a religious zealout once tell me, "Atheists only make up 2 percent of the populations, so who cares." Wow, what a nice attituce. Lessee, 2 percent of 275 million is 5.5 million. Yes, let's just trample on the rights of 5.5 million people.
We both happened to be residents of Washington State at the time, which has a population of just over 5 million. I asked him how he'd feel if our rights were stripped away because we only make up 2 percent of the US population. He didn't have an answer.
Those 2 words never should have been put in there, and I will rejoice the day when they will finally be removed. If you want to teach your children to believe in God, do it in your own home or your church. You certainly shouldn't expect the public school system to do it for you.
And if you want your children to learn religion at school, send them to private school.
1.) Nowhere in his post did he say anything about 'convervative', he said 'right wing'
2.) His rant is about 'the right wing' adopting policies normally associated with liberals (government control of everything) so wondering about the KGB fits right in with his rant
3.) Check his nick, HE'S A FUCKING TROLL, DUMBASS!!
...a patch for each service/package as they become available, locally or remotely, manually or automatically, with all dependancies met so the patches are painless, with no reboots?
Feel better now? Jeez, smoke a joint or something.
Either:
A.) That was nothing but a pure Troll (in which case, yes, "I have bitten"), which seems awfully odd considering the amount of time and effort it took to write it, or:
B.) You actually believe all that crap. Hey, man, if you like Windows and IE, use 'em. No one's stopping you. And just because some of us prefer the fact that Mozilla doesn't prescribe to the Security Hole of the Week Club doesn't mean you have to get your panties all in a knot over it.
Everyone knows Slashdot is a 'Yay Linux! Boo Microsoft!' site. If it really bothers you that much, don't read.
Or maybe you get your jollies when you get someone like me to reply to your BS. If so, you're that much more pathetic.
...before making the ludicrous and erroneous claim that Linux is, has always been, and will always be impregnable.
Pardon me, fucknut, but where in his post did he say anything like that? Oh, that's right, he didn't!
He said, "Wake me when a Linux virus spreads in the wild on its own." Because that hasn't happened yet.
When it does, then you lusers can say it's infectable, but so far, it hasn't been, and I'm not worried that it will happen to any degree like it does on 'doze, if at all.
These guys spend 4 years working in their spare time for free, to put together an excellent, stable, standards-compliant web browser that is FREE and works on all platforms and all you can do is nitpick and bitch about it. And to support your bullshit, all you can provide as examples are some lame javascript/dhtml games that you wrote!
I surf as much as anyone and I have no problems whatsoever with MozRC2 (I'm waiting for RC3.debs, should be up in a day or two, I'm not an impatient BITCH who expects people who work for free to jump when I snap my fingers).
If you're such a 133t h@X0r, why don't you contribute some code instead of belly-aching?
No one has ever been able to say how MS is a monopoly.
Yeah, no one except the first trial court and the court of appeals. Yep, the most business friendly court in the land, with all the Reagan appointed judges, the one everyone said Microsoft wanted. They said 7 to zero that Microsoft was a monopoly and they abused that Monopoly, among other things.
However, I've come up with an easy explanation of why Microsoft is a monopoly.
Now, imagine if the hard drive maker, or the memory maker, or the video card maker
(etc., you get the point) tried to do the same thing?
Compaq would have dumped them in a second and gone to a competitor.
Now, listen carefully:
THEY CAN'T DO THAT WITH WINDOWS BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE!!!
If they dumped Windows and went to Red Hat instead, they would GO OUT OF BUSINESS!
And they know it all too well.
This is precisely what is a legal definition of a monopoly (as opposed to an absolute monopoly.
Many people say Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly because you can buy a copy of Red Hat and install it.
These people are confusing a legally defined monopoly with an absolute monopoly like what AT&T had.)
It's technically legal for Microsoft to have this monopoly,
but it's illegal to abuse it by forcing other products down computer manufacturers throats
(First Explorer, Office, MSN, now Windows Media Player, Windows Messaging, etc.)
or to tell them they can't sell computers with 2 operating systems or with no OS
or any of the other dozens of things that Microsoft does that they couldn't do
if there were any REAL competition in the desktop OS market.
Some folks say that Linux is now to Microsoft what AMD is to Intel.
This is simply not accurate for one simple reason:
AMD processors run ALL the same software that Intel processors do.
If you have an Intel processor, you can simply replace it with an AMD one
(yes sometimes you need to replace the motherboard and perhaps the memory)
without changing ANY of the software on your computer.
Linux DOES NOT run the same software as Windows. Why is this?
Well, Microsoft's license agreements say that you agree to not reverse-engineer their software.
If you don't agree to the license, you can't use it (legally).
Hmm, let's see, it's legal to reverse-engineer Intel processors, but not Microsoft operating systems.
How nice for Microsoft.
To all you Microsoft apologists out there:
Do you REALLY want Microsoft in control of EVERYTHING to do with computing?
Because, without the anti-trust case, that's exactly where we'd be heading.
Without this "government interference", every computing experience would be handled by Microsoft.
We'd all use Windows, Explorer, Office, MSN, Media Player, Windows Messaging, Passport, etc.
and then Microsoft could charge whatever they want for all this. Not true, you say?
You don't think that Microsoft would "encourage" ISP's to only support IE?
You think any web pages created with Microsoft Front Page would be readable in Netscape?
Also, without "interference", NONE of the major companies currently supporting Linux to varying degrees
(IBM, HP, Compaq, Dell, etc., etc.,) would have had anything to do with Linux.
The repercussions from Microsoft would have been much too severe.
Not to mention all the security problems that would arise out of all of this.
Melissa/Love Bug/Sircam/Code Red anyone?
I am pleased and relieved that the case is going the way it is.
This will preserve some measure of computing freedom for us all.

That was one of the most intelligent and insightful posts I've ever read, yet it will probably get passed over by the mods.
Slashdot blows, I wish I could keep away.
Thank you.
That's the 2nd time in 2 days I've heard the word 'amygdala', never having heard it before.
:)
It was referred to on the Faces show (or whatever it's called) on TLC that's hosted by John Cleese.
Or is that where you got the word?
That's what I was referring to.
Get yer jollies cuttin' and pastin', do ya laddy?
Sorry to break it to ya...
...it sucks a lot.
That's why they call it an ALPHA release.
Now, go ask your mommy for some milk and cookies and you'll feel much better after your nap.

YHBT, please fuck off.
12? I don't think so. She's probably 18 or 19.
I really don't think those guys would put her up on their site if she were under 18.
Besides, how do you know I'm not 13, which would have made her a perfect age for me, right? Lots of 13-year-olds read Slashdot, dontchaknow...
...this little tart! :)
wow the x key isn't even next to the w key
:)
Yes, but they both are depressed by the ring finger of the left hand, one is above the 's' and one is below.
...a patch for each service/package as they become available, locally or remotely, manually or automatically, with all dependancies met so the patches are painless, with no reboots?
Yes, Debian, of course.
358 days of uptime and counting. You?
Feel better now? Jeez, smoke a joint or something.

It's just you.
Netscape is going to be v7.0! That means it's 3v3n m0R3 133t! Just like j00!

Crawl back into your hole, fool.
We all know it. Why doesn't he just fuck off?
An intelligent well-thought-out reply to prove just how much more intelligent you are.
:)
YHBT, btw.
This could be the birth of something beautiful!

Hi, morons! Yes, you, and the valley girl who said how he 'totally deserved that'.
Idiots.
Read the whole post. Notice all the random profanity interspersed throughout it?
Now look at his nick. Get it yet?
If not, please go here.
Have a real nice day, now.
