No, his point was that Slashdot would consider automatic Windows Update to be evil by virtue of being automatic (working condition doesn't enter into it - pretend WU works flawlessly), but that an automatic Linux Update would be good by virtue of being automatic. Thus showing an inherent bias against Windows simply for being Windows.
But your own point is a valid one. False sense of security == evil, no matter what OS.
Because Enterprise generates its fanbase from the horny teens who watch in the hopes of seeing some more Vulcan skin. Writing, plot, acting, can all fall by the wayside when softcore TV porn is involved in getting ratings.
Bad softcore at that, but they don't know that. Nor do they care, apparently.
If you didn't know he played MacGyver, then how could this possibly ruin anything for you?
It'd be like finding out the guy who had his hand up Grover's butt also had his hand up Yoda's. Doesn't necessarily ruin Star Wars by associating it with a children's tv show.
Water off a duck's back. It's much more fashionable to pretend Bush is the first ever to do any of this and the only individual in DC doing it, whether or not he's actually got anything to do with it.
Wonder how many more decades it'll be till we're talking about how many cores a chip has, in the same manner that we talk about transistors now. That'll be freaky. And cool.
Believing something because it makes you feel safe and content does not guarantee that what you believe is the single truth - it just indicates that you may be nervous of accepting the possibile validity of conflicting points of view.
Just so ya know, this statement is valid for atheism too. Atheism is as much a faith-based belief structure as Christianity or any other religion. It's just reversed - one believes that there is no God even though one cannot prove nonexistence or even approach a proof of it.

See, the problem is, we can't even *disagree* with GW proponents without being labelled 'American', 'in denial', 'stupid', 'greedy', whatever.
You don't want debate. You don't want constructive argument. You want sycophantic, slavish AOL'ing of your opinions.
Knoppix Hacks by Kyle Rankin is no less astounding in revealing the hidden versatility and power inherent in this unassuming tool.
The pages will stick together if you don't wipe them off.

Right to your senators.
That reminds me.. we should ask them to increase education funding as well. =)
(just a friendly tweak, don't everyone go get excited and moddy about it..)
they say they will soon be using robots to stop sheep jumping off cliffs
Or a... fence.
Yeah, she was an ugly no-talent lump in those eps too. That particular ep was just painful to watch. None of those women could act worth a damn.

Or does it? Hehe.

You didnt even read the post. Typical.

No way, eh. Double it and add 30.
So 52 and 52 is 104, add 30 - 134 Canadian weeks! Beauty!

Or even possibly, Btilliant
No no, everyone knows that when you make a typo, instead of shifting a key on the keyboard, you always shift through the alphabet instead. =P
Heh, I don't think even Rain Man would do a typo like that.
Even though it's a clear reference to a Star Trek ep where computerised collars were worn by gladiator-like slaves.
Ya know what, mods, if you don't get the reference, walk away and go mod something up instead.
Right, because covert government abuses were completely unheard of before 2000 and will be completely unheard of again after Kerry takes office.
Kerry will bust you for NOT being nice to Muslims
Or for not wanting to pay eviscerating taxes. Or for not voting for him next time.
The typo is fixed, it's just a matter of time before the Offtopic and Redundant bombs hit..
Brilliant =)
Someone call Huinness' Nook pf Eorld Tecords!
Ya know, you can actually write "sucks donkey balls" here.
It's not going to offend this crowd, that's for sure. =)
A loser-dies system would be even better...
But if you guys show up wearing tinfoil body wrap and bouffant hairdos, I'm gonna hurl.
