I don't see why so many people are posting this opinion.
Would you be happy having your children (if you have any) seeing people having sex on the street? No? Why not? Aren't you "shield[ing them] from the truth and reality"?
It's not a new interface. All the buttons are still in the same place, just the images are different. I don't mind the interface's images changing with a new release - it makes things seem fresh.
They're not just stupid, they were choosing to take part in illegal laundering of money. The fact that were crossed doesn't stop them being criminals. I would prosecute every one.
You're confusing "byte" and "char". "char" is related to character sets, "byte" has nothing to do with them. Just because you're using 16 bit unicode does not change the size of the byte, it simply means that your "char" is two "bytes" (if your bytes are 8 bits). Why would a unicode system half the resolution of memory just because of the character set used? You could have a byte of 8 bits, a character of two bytes, or a byte of 128 bits and a character of 256 bits. No connection between the two.
Well, I think you're pretty arrogant to assume all world leaders are such complete retards, and to sweepingly criticise them like that.
"remarkably naive -- especially about science and technology."
You're probably remarkably naive about politics and economics. Why should they concern themselves with science, they have advisors for that. Do you think Blair should browse Slashdot during the boring bits of the daily security briefing?
I think someone (with more spare time than I) should make a Linux distribution sans GNU. They could take everything needed from BSD, and we could have a _Linux_, and just _Linux_ distribution to shove under Stallman's nose.
Stallman has an ego problem. GNU is NOT an essential part of the Linux operating system. All GNU components could be replaced with BSD, or even propeitary versions, and it would still be Linux. How does he know that everyone using the Linux kernel is using the GNU tools?
Moronic posts? I'm pretty proud of my posts. I have excellent karma and 7 posts in my info page which are modded over +2, and all but two are above 1. Plus, I don't hide behind anonymity when saying something controversial (or bullshit, as your post is).

Why is that all he'll ever need?
Have you ever heard of "inflation"?
Attempted murder?
The intent to kill someone - it doesn't matter if they actually did kill them.
The whole point is that the wavelenght is smaller (normally people say shorter), as that allows more precise, and so more dense, burning.
Perhaps if game designers didn't spend their time reading slashdot...
(cracks whip)
Get back to work!

I guess it's a bit like a word then. As the word is dependant on the processor architecture, the byte is dependant on the data being worked with.
Why is C the authority on what a byte it? Bytes were around a long time before C.

People would know what I mean't if I wrote in l33t, but it would be a stupid thing to do.
Why "TXT"? TXT does not stand for anything. "text format" or just "text" would have been more sensible.
How about Bodleians for a change?
If you're American they may be worth nothing. To the British they're work almost twice as much.
I'd be pretty pissed if you stole the pennies from my pocket.

They could restrict it at file system level. I think this is part of the Palladium thing - that's why it's built into the OS.
This is slashdot! It's _cool_ to be arrogant!

Wil Wheaton comes to mind...

Since when have reps been developers? Idiot.
_All_ developers are cocky - very cocky. It's not just a Windows thing.
