A while back there was a story on one of those news shows that had a deaf child getting some kind of new fangled implant so that it could hear. Some militant deaf activists got up in arms because they proclaimed that "there is nothing abnormal with being deaf".
I wonder if this same group will throw a tantrum if people start screening for the gene that causes deafness.
I just wonder what's with this American obsession of calling left-wing/socialist ideas "liberal"? Damn it, liberalism is all about ANTI-collectivism, ANTI-socialism and PRO-free-speech!
Your exactly right. They should be called leftists. I am a liberal as in libertarian, but the american press has corrupted the definition of liberal
But what's the deal with Australia. I know it's to the left of the states like most of the first world is.
Most of the people on slashdot are left of center. That's alright. I consider myself a libertarian "with a heart". It almost seems like Australia is following some kind of wacko american depravity with a passion. Man, I used to love Australia. Fellow criminals, that made it:)
I admit I'm not a big fan of so called European "social-democracies"(aka in America, socialism), but i always thought Australia would be mavericks. What the hell is going on down under. I always thought Australia would always be for the individual, less government.
In the states, even with hundreds of channels, we don't get much Australian nightly news. Can some of our brothers from down under inform me?
If there weren't some kindof global networking systems, my job would be tens of magnitudes harder. First, it would be a bitch to get a lot of technical information(ala RFC's).
Second, snail-mailing customers code or patches is highly efficient. Computers with networks have made _huge_ productivity gains. Many of the idiots that think it didn't happen are still living in the 80's.
For those who are interested, check out the book "Artificial Life". It's not heavy on the tech, but is interesting, and is good on the history of artificial life type stuff. I forget who the author is.

Thank you for telling me to never listen to fox news. From now on I'll watch CNN which we all know is completely unbiased.
Haha, I love it that all the leftists hate FOX News
And CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC have a rep for being on the left.
You just can't stand it that the liberal bias of CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC is not the only game in town anymore
I'll take watching Laurie Dew over Judy Woodruff any day of the week
How fucking slashdot typical. Silly leftists

Does Cartoon Network ever show Speed Racer? Is there any cable channel that shows it?

Thanks to our friends on the left in Europe and the US.
And 3 seconds all of the source for windows is on a thousand servers

I like coding and too bad there aren't 40 hours in a day. Maybe then I would write software for "free".

Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything wrong with knowing how to code using GCC and Emacs
nothing wrong with it, except that us real engineers will look at you like the pansy you are
You should be able to upgrade to kde 2 with rpmdrake.
all of you that were so worried about RedHat being taking over by an "evil corporation" can breathe now.
