Wow, are you really that dense or just blinded by hatred?
From the article: "Matt was being satirical and certainly there was never any issue between the show and Fox News. We regret any confusion."
Step 1: Be a rightwing jerk.
How am I being a jerk by pointing out the truth?
Step 2: Read a Slashdot story that exposes THE main pillar of the rightwing media as the morons that they are.
Yes, we should take all slashdot stories as almighty truth without any question.
Step 3: Get annoyed.
You're right, I do get annoyed by idiotic slashbots like yourself
Step 4: Link to article that doesn't invalidate the step 2 story in any way, with a hint of triumph in your tone.
It did invalidate it, when someone says they're being satirical and "there was never any issue", how do you still make an issue out of it? BTW, the original story was pretty flimsy anyways. One man says Fox News was considering suing. So this rightwing media is a moron for NOT doing something?
Step 6: You win the argument. Hooray!
Yes, if the truth is winning the argument, then I did. I'm sorry you just can't accept it, and cling on to some fantasy just to reinforce your own biases.
So it was a story that was completely made up by one person, and all the lefty blogs were up in arms over it.
Where are the slashdotters complaining that Fox News was thin-skinned, censoring or plain evil now? Hopefully you would think they'd be man enough to apologize and admit they were wrong.
I guess the Vietnamese government has it's priorities in order when they "see the light" in adopting open source rather than freeing its own people first.
looking at most all your posts, you really dont contribute much.
You're right on that. I come here to get a good chuckle at the knuckleheads , the great trolls, and crapfloods, and idiotic articles. I didn't know "contributing" was one of the requirements of being here.
1)your criticism towards people moderating your posts, 2) how slashdot sucks, and 3) how the articles are crap.
1, 2, 3 still continue to be true. When it changes, then I could write something else.
You whine like a mule, and yet you do NOTHING about it.
I am just like any good critic. Please spare me the tired 'love it or leave it' argument.
I like how any criticism that offends your sensibilities will be automatically modded down by you. I feel so much better now.
you take three of my comments to justify why getting modded down for opinions was correct. Interesting that responding to a +5 comment is offtopic (as you say). Would it still be offtopic if i simply agreed with the users incorrect statement?
My comment about Roblimo's garbage was unfair, how?
I doubt you could still reason how getting bombed with -1 Overrateds (that's happened many times) would be justified.
Calling someone a troll is a meaningless argument. I state my opinions, if you don't like it, fine. Nobody in the real world calls other people trolls for having different viewpoints other than their own. Only on slashdot do you dorks use that term to disparage others and not have to justify it.
If this same useless unscientific poll were conducted on Linux users and found dissatifcation high, the slashdot text would be blasting it immediately.
Instead, because it is Microsoft, the editor (namely that tool timothy) takes it as self-evident and obviously true since it confirms his own biases.
Exhibit #15432 why Slashdot can't be taken as more than a joke.
Heh, I'm used to it actually, but it used to be worse. I used to get bombed with -1 Overrated on week old posts, at least now it's Flamebait and Troll.
Too bad none of those fuckers would say why its a troll.
Probably the best thing to do to prevent disinformation from entering your company is to block articles by Rob Enderle.
You can say the same thing about slashdot, home of "news" that may or may not be true, doomsday scenarios that Microsoft is responsible for, and the US government coming after you stories.
P.S. This is a direct, ontopic editorial comment responding to the article text.
You forget it was michael that posted the article, one of the most dispicable, dishonest, manipulative characters on this site.
I love how slashdot has this nonsensical, convoluted moderation system that can censor and muzzle users if they "troll" or "flame", but editors like michael can troll users with reckless abandon (see the windows switching story today).
That article by Roblimo was one of the most awful articles I've ever seen posted to slashdot.
It was nothing but a pandering, self-serving, condescending, piece of garbage.
This supposed look at XP is more about rants with IE and OE and other apps, which is not part of the OS. If you don't like IE,
go and use Mozilla or any other broswer, XP isn't stopping you from doing so.
His closing remarks expressing "sympathy" for Windows users is so smug and arrogant. What kind of person of who would switch to Linux
would take that shit seriously?
And slashdotters complain about "M$", microserfs, or whatever cute names..where are the slashdotters to come out against this mindless
zealotry?
Alive, just barely, only in the minds of some college campuses. In practice, it's all but dead.
Well?, where exactly can I found it well?

What good does an interview on Slashdot do? It seems to me that he already has the vote (those that can) of most slashbots.
The bulk of this crowd is representative of the core of his support: upper-middle class, white, educated, young angry Bush Haters. An interview here will just be preaching to the choir, tossing softball questions to be moderated up, and be a general circle-jerk.
Being smart doesn't necessarily equate to being a good leader or politician.
Jimmy Carter was supposed to be smart, but he made a terrible president. Clinton, the Rhodes scholar, will be remembered more for his scandals and lying than his accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Reagon, the supposed dunce, broke the Soviet Empire, defeated communism, and set the stage for the biggest economic boom in decade.
Wow..this straining, twisting, and bending to equivalate the US to the Chinese government is just too much.
You try to compare Kent State, where 4 people were tragically killed, to Tianamen Square where hundreds, possibly thousands were deliberately massacred (the exact number will never be known since the Chinese government bans all discussions of the incident). Never mind that it was the National Guard directed by the state governor, which is not the same as the Federal Government . Unlike in China where it was a military action conducted by Beijing and the PLA.
What government positions do Oliver North and Henry Kissinger hold? Where was Rumsfeld all these years before he was Sec. of Defense? Hmm?
Last I heard, being active in American politics was actually a good thing to be doing, whether in a private capacity or public. When you vote or contribute money, your active in American politics.
Using Michael Moore as a source pretty much says it all. He is not credible or trustworthy, you can find many dozens of sites that demonstrate how he twists and bends facts and quotes.
He told us the the world had changed in a fundamental way, and that we had to give up our freedom because of it.
As far as the second point, he didn't say it, but did it.
Nice backtracking there.
Finally, I'd like to know how I can cite or prove something that was NOT said or done. The burden of proof is on you.
It's amazing to see how the moderators fall over themselves to mod up the typical Bush-hating rhetoric as soon as possible.
I'd like to see citations for ANY of the claims the parent poster has made.
Bush cancelling funds to arrest Osama Bin Laden? Bush said we had to give up our freedom because of 9/11? Where did see say these things? It would be perfect to suit the haters.
Typical Slashdot: make up facts and quotes to suit your agenda, and get modded up for it.

And I see your prize for injecting some facts and sanity, you get a -1 Flamebait.
Nice.
More proof you shouldn't take slashdot seriously for financial news or advice.

Where is the outrage?
remember, this is a site where any article that embarasses or makes Microsoft looks bad is automatically posted.
It was nothing but a pandering, self-serving, condescending, piece of garbage.

BTW, China hardly resembles a communist system anymore. Please check your current events.

So, no, the US has not had it's share.

The UN Charter is not law or canon, and nobody will be taking the US to court anytime soon.
Microsoft's defenders and supporters are almost always shills, corrupted, evil, immoral devils out to dominate the world.
Newsflash: the rich have been getting richer, but so has everybody else. Even the poorest Americans today are living far better than years before.
Why is this news that the top dogs are getting even richer?
