Wow. So, they say that only 5% if containers are being inspected. And you confirm that only 5% are being inspected, while getting your panties in a bunch. Can't really say I see your point.
Considering Linus' answers included emoticons, I'd bet the interview was conducted via email. That usually happens at the request of the interviewee, and involves the interviewer emailing the questions and waiting for the answers. Pretty damn hard to strike up a conversation that way. Yeah, it sucks. I'm a journalist, and have had to do interviews that way. Bad for the interviewer and for the reader, but sometimes those are the breaks.
Well, I'm as politically incorrect as they come, and even I find it quite backwards to use "Not man enough" as an insult. Really, I guess my wife can be demeaned as not being "man enough" (thankfully). Maybe I overreacted, but I'm getting sick of people who use "Anonymous" as a naughty word. I've seen plenty of good Anonymous posts, and a hell of a lot of signed trolls, flamebaits and plain stupid posts. Then again, whatever makes you happy. I just needed to vent.
Regarding your sig: From Wired:...in MacIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, the US Supreme Court reaffirmed that the First Amendment protects the right to anonymous speech. Anonymity, the court reasoned, helps speech stay free. Earlier cases had already guaranteed that the right to anonymity reaches beyond political speech. In Talley v. California, the Supreme Court shot down a Los Angeles ordinance banning all types of anonymous pamphlets - political, commercial, or otherwise. The court explained that the "identification requirement would tend to restrict freedom to distribute information and thereby freedom of expression."
Who benefits from digital anonymity? Whistle-blowers, victims of abuse, and troubled people seeking counseling. Political insiders, the politically incorrect, and insurrectionists. Gays, lesbians, and bored straights. Bad poets. People trying the fit of another skin. Virtually everyone. You.You deserve at least as much anonymity on the Net as you have when you cast a vote, post an anonymous tract, or buy a newspaper from a coin-operated rack.
In other words, fight trolls or flamebaiters. Not anonymous people.
PS: Your sig is also incredibly sexist. But I'll let that as an exercise to the reader.
"If I'm wearing a red jersey and so drunk I can't stand up and I meet a guy in a blue jersey who's so drunk that he can't stand up, what happens?" joked Davis.
The answer is: Nothing much. (Or maybe Red vs. Blue gay porn).
The "suit" is usually your boss. You may think your job is to secure the network. In time, you'll realize your job is to obey the "suit". Yeah, yeah, quit, I know the drill. I have a wife, a 1 year old son and a couple of old parents without a pension. I value all of them above my "dignity".
But wouldn't it be cool if we could get another Bill Gates? I mean, Gates is not an uncommon name... and neither is William... Just imagine the quote. "Firefox kicks Internet Explorer's ass from here to Finland and back. Oh, and Windows sucks. Bill Gates". Verified and everything... truly priceless.
People act like it's a personal thing between Valve and them that Valve is sitting in some room rubbing their hands and laughing "we're so EVIL..muhahahaha!".
You got it all wrong. That's Microsoft. Ha! I bashed Microsoft. Now give me my "Insightful"s and my "Informative"s, mods!!!

Linus Interviewed
·
· Score: 2, Funny
You are, of course, right. But I liked grandparent's idea a hella lot more. "Linus as Mothra". Whoa, dude. Whoa.
The overrated tag, imop, points quite simply to a cowardly moderator trying to shut down a point of view he disagreed with.
Personally, I use it as a Wrong tag, for information that is false but that the poster possibly used in good faith. However, simple generalizations are more confortable (ask Bush) so feel free to keep insulting random people.
Then, he stops playing Steam games for some reason or other. Maybe it's going to Iraq for 6 months. Maybe he's KIA and his family's a mess trying to get his body back from some third world country. Maybe it's being laid off an no net connection. Maybe he's got a new baby and he has no time for the computer. Maybe his wife has cancer and he doesn't want to leave her side. Maybe he's in jail for insider trading. Maybe he's found a new game and dropped Steam games like a bad habit. Maybe he's just forgotten his password and given up on the damned thing. Or maybe he's installed a anti-spam software, e-mail filters, firewalls, anti-spyware, and disables services and system functions on this computer so that the accumulative effects prevented the announcement of a change in the fees and/or billing methods from ever being read.
And maybe 90 percent of that paragraph was already coverd in the "for some reason or other" at the start. Try to post with the/verbose flag off.
I'm not saying copyright infringement is right. I'm saying it should be called by its proper name, which is not "theft". However, if you please, let us call it "murder". I mean, who the fuck cares, right? Yeah, I knew this warez dood who murdered all kinds of software. Words have a meaning, and communication is a lot easier and clearer when they are used correctly. Is all I'm saying.
Yep, nice fallacy. Specifically, you are defining theft to mean what you want it to. Why don't we ask someone who knows what he's saying?
From Websters: "\Theft\, n. [OE. thefte, AS. [thorn]i['e]f[eth]e, [thorn][=y]f[eth]e, [thorn]e['o]f[eth]e. See Thief.] 1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious taking and removing of personal property, with an intent to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny."
Mmmmhhh.... let's see... "with an intent to deprive..."... mmmmhhh... Care to try again?

You probably also think drilling to the center of the earth to start the core rotating again is a bunch of hollywood movie hype, don't you?
Of course it's hype. The center of the Earth is chock full of dinosaurs. Jules Verne proved that.
Jeez, read a book, will you?
Read. Comprehend. Post.
The Xbox is not failing. The Thompson drive inside is failing. And, yes the Thompson drives are made in China.
Idiot.
Wow.

And you confirm that only 5% are being inspected, while getting your panties in a bunch.
Can't really say I see your point.
2 eggs, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.
You're welcome.

I'm all for limiting what a user can do, after that its just them and god (and their boss of course).
You mean the user's and God's boss?

You misspelled "gif". And we all have LOTS of them.
I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to suscribe to your newsletter.

I totally agree with you. I just have a thing about people who use loaded words incorrectly.

you can find one on eBay for cheep.
For a moment there, I was sure you had misspelled "sheep"...
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be informative.
You misspelled "brag"
