This was probably not posted by someone from the U.S., but by someone just trying to get everyone riled up. People seem to think it's fun to criticize the U.S. these days. No matter what the article is about, the posts degrade into criticism of the U.S. This is a linux site, remember?
If it was posted by someone in the U.S., it certainly doesn't represent everyone's opinion here. If you take garbage like that as representative of American values, you obviously have never been here. Yeah, there may be people like that here, but aren't there people like that where you live, too? People that speak without thinking, hate others out of fear of the unknown, etc. live everywhere, not just in the U.S. Do I assume you are an idiot just because your neighbor is?
Regarding the post,I find it troubling that someone could so blatantly dismiss the problems of others and other nations. The post is so over the top that I can't believe that someone really felt that way. It's an obvious attempt to stir up anti-American sentiment in a forum where it doesn't belong.
Am I the only one who is going to mention such a great target for this type of retalliation? I believe I have several hundred AOL cds that arrived at my house without warrant. Perhaps the AOL distribution office needs a cluttered mailbox...:)
Apparently John Fontana only interviewed one witness who was kept quiet until his article was published yesterday. A more complete article can be found on the Tuft's Daily Newspaper, here.
I think the image quality differences are a big deal only to a very small segment. The difference between VHS's "good" and BetaMax's "great" is lost on most people. good is good enough. people will opt for lossy "compression" for the sake of more content (witness the MP3 format's success.) consider that even with vhs most people will record at whatever level gives them the longest record time, sacrificing quality.
Ask the average tivo owner what quality level they select for their seinfeld reruns. VHS won because it gave people more of less, in a way. Just like McDonalds makes money hand over fist serving "food" that would make a french chef gag.:)
If you really want to see some great pc modding, you should look here. This guy buys a small tv screen and puts it into his case. Other mods include water-cooling and window modding.
Thank you very much for your input. I realize I am not a professional graphic designer, I am merely a 14 year old student trying to run a small business. I am currently in the process of redesigning my site, the work in progress can be found here. Thank you.
Perhaps all you morons should visit your own sites or see some of my work. If you have something constructive to say and you are able to contribute new ideas, then please say something. Otherwise you seem like a complete moron with no knowledge of any web design or content control. It might also entertain you that my work on websites have constantly been reviewed very highly on many prestigious sites such as PCWorld and DDJ.
Sorry for the plug, but my web design/hosting company, LoebNet.com would be perfect for any solution. I do not use bandwidth limits, and my hosting plans are very reasonable. I also personally help to maintain and troubleshoot my clients' websites.
"XP was so big that half a dozen or more CDs would be required"
Funny I don't get this. I have many copies of XP, for several clients and they only contain one cd. This is for the complete install! How can recovery take 12 cds?
As noted earlier, Star Wars films have always targeted younger generations. However stupid Jar-Jar might be, number 1 he is a CG designer's dream and number 2, kids like him. As far as NSYNC goes, it's called merchandising. Who doesn't like money? Maybe in this movie they won't even have to lip-sync.

It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care..
I believe my favorite line would have to be:
PC Load Letter! What the fuck does that mean!!

So I guess this puts a big damper on Microsoft Tech Support. "I don't know what to do, please restart your computer."
Somehow I wonder what the current Slashdot Poll has do to with this. :-/

I suppose this will upset the producers of our fine television shows. Image Matt Groening filing a lawsuit for 30 seconds of more Simpson fun!
