Yes, indeed a worthy Troll/FP! I must be losing my touch, I got an obvious Troll modded up! What is this world coming to when a post named "Again, why Linux is inferior" is modded up as Insightful?:)
I'm certain this point has already been made, but for the sake of a good flamewar, here goes!
Once again, Linux has demonstrated it's inferiority to Microsoft Windows by perpetuating it's incessant catch-up game. For an operating system that is touted as the next best thing to sliced bread, it always seems years behind Windows, and there's a good reason for that.
The elitist snobs who, for whatever reason, condemn standards, have been unable to create an operating system that everybody can use. Say what you will about stability and security. If it's otherwise useless, why bother with it, especially when there is a quality substitute?
The answer is simple; there is no reason! There's no reason to buy a top-of-the-line computer if you have to wait 2 years for the operating system to catch up with the technology. As the release of Gnome 2.0, and most recently KDE 3.0, have proven, Linux is still unable to match the functionality that Windows offers. Until it does, there really is no convincing argument that supports Linux as a desktop environment.
Does an "Open-Source Book" imply that you will distribute the text with the hope that others will take it and add to it and edit it and maim it and deform it and have sex with it as long as they keep your name on it?
WOW! Imagine an 8-node Beowulf Cluster of these things! And better yet, with Linux installed on them!
Oh wait...

Unless the party sheep he keeps on his lap counts as companionship, the answer must be a resounding yes! JonKatz must enjoy sitting back and watching the tr0llz and fl4m3rz tear him a new asshole.
Let's not forget about the evils of replying to a post modded "Offtopic". Chances are that if a parent is modded down, any replies under it will likely be modded down as well.
Before I launch into what, in fact, "Global Warming" is really about, allow me to share some insight on how preposterous the very idea is.
First of all, the only time we hear about "Global Warming" is during the summer; ironically the same time that temperature (in the northern hemisphere anyway, I'll address this later) is, in fact, rising! I really hope that the predictable rise in temperature in Summer isn't that much of a surprise to anyone.
But what really confuses scientists is the fact that this "Global Warming", aka "Summer" happens at a completely different time of the year in the southern hemisphere. I am thoroughly convinced that for the sake of some agenda (which again, I will address later) these "scientists" are ignoring all that "Winter" that occurs between the cyclical warmings, in favor of reporting a constant heightening of temperatures worldwide.
That, or course, is pure balderdash, but these "scientists" need SOMETHING to justify the millions of research dollars they leach from the public tax coffers. What is actually going on is that these "scientists" really aren't the great, prophetic thinkers they promote themselves as.
Every argument I have heard supporting "Global Warming" indicates that the effects of this phenomena won't be observed for hundreds, even thousands of years! That's easy to say when nobody now will be alive to disprove their theory. Present them with a very current, very REAL problem that affects us today, and their true ignorance wouldn't be hard to spot.
But year after year, we give credance to these "scientists" who make a good living by spouting theory and conjecture that has no basis on reality. When are we going to expose these charlatans for the fakes they are? When are we, as taxpayers, going to end the exhorbitant flow of cash into the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the world's peoples?
I propose we organize a similar movement that acknowledges the global cooling (Winter, for us laypersons) that is always occuring SOMEWHERE in the world. Perhaps the funding for this research should come from these "Global Warming" funds, as there is at least equal evidence supporting a "Global Cooling" theory.

Yeah that fucking sucks! Killed my FP yesterday!
These are two words that have no business being in the same sentence, let alone side-by-side. Shame on you, authors!

Eat it, suckers, new fp'er in town.
I'm sure Fox can fill just about any gaping hole left by the X-Files. I'm not so sure about one left by "The Giver" though...
