Nice FUD. Mainly due to that most third world countries have a diet high in saturated fat, they recommended low fat, to try and cut down the amounts of saturated fat people were eating. Other fats are the good fats that you can eat more of, and thats the current public health message. But you still want a diet low in saturated fat.
Oh, and the Atkins Diet is not healthy. You might lose weight, but its not healthy.
Proper Nutritionists are about promoting health, not weight loss.
Ok! We Get it! You're a moron. Your comments sound like they come from a moron. You only make moronic replies. We get it. You a moron. You shouldn't be on slashdot. Do you want a medal?
While about a lot of people probably don't care, and thats fine, your parent poster knew the person, and was just giving a slashdot style obituary, so to speak. This stories does belong on slashdot, as the guy was a important part of linux.
So if i said i would like to kill you, you wouldn't take that as a threat?
I would like for you to piss off and stop trolling slashdot but its probably not going to happen. I have no power to do that, just like you have no power to break the nose of your original posts parent.
It was a fucking clueless statement, threat OR opinion.
And for the 10 millionth time, you can use anecdotes all you want, but people like you on the p2p sharing systems are IN THE MINORITY!!!
There are more people who are just downloading songs so they don't have to pay for them than using it as a sample-buy system.
Now i don't frankly give a shit what anecdotes your using, but look at it from the point of the layman for a second. Person Y searches for song x, and downloads song x. To the casual observer, it would seem that Y wanted x, and therefore downloaded it. Therefore, we have an infrigement right there. He downloaded a song he has no "right" too.
Now we don't know what happened after this person downloaded song x, he might have listened to it, thought it shit, and deleted it. He might have bought the cd. He might have kept the song on his HD to listen to. He might have put it on a cd. Who knows? We only know that he "illegally" copied the song, and therefore is in the wrong until he proves otherwise.
Now that is the problem behind file sharing. You can spew endless zero sum arguments, its not "theft" argument and anecdotes from here to kingdom come, but to the average person, people that have control in society, it looks like you want a song, and you get it without paying for it.
OH, and not having enough money as justification for using pirate programs is real smart. Your typing up comments on the fruit of capitalism, and yet you don't like it.
Lastly, were all slashdot morons, you even more so because you made a physical threat on a comment board. Stop being such a fucking loser. You have the intellectual level of IF I EVER MEET YOU, I"LL KICK YOUR ASS people.
FOAD.

Unfortunately, what sells more papers? Good discoveries on topics or things which the layperson has no understanding off. Or "revolutionary" discoveries doing miracle things everyone can grasp the basics of?
Imagine if i took a book that was meant to be harsh and confronting, but edited it so the "bad" words and meanings were gone and it was toned down, the book would be remarkably different. Yet im still selling or hiring it as the original book, just edited. Yet in actual fact, i've changed the meaning of the book by editing it. So in fact, its not the original book at all. And i didn't get permission to do it.

Don't mix up stupid people, and intelligent people with agendas.
No Michael, the guy was screaming because he saw the slashcode source.
You are so fucking cool.
Now fuck off.

Try reading at - 1 , dipshit.
How do you know that? You never normally have a clue whats on at slashdot.
While about a lot of people probably don't care, and thats fine, your parent poster knew the person, and was just giving a slashdot style obituary, so to speak. This stories does belong on slashdot, as the guy was a important part of linux.
Just lay off.
Nice comeback.
Ok then. You must be first?

I agree with you completely. Unfortunate about the flamebait mod.

While i understand that, this website uses english as its language, so its not entirely unreasonable to expect proper grammar.
We all can't have our cake and eat it too.
You don't get it, do you?
I have a pet peeve against dickheads, much like yourself.

Who are you to say about people posting anonymously? Unless your "real" name is Technix4beos.
I've never viewed it that way... hmm. I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Whats a virii?
Is it the cousin of an octupus?
That's not a name, its a short story.

"I want tech-news, esp. from the fs/os area!"
Like martyn s, you also have the power!
You're too fucking serious dude. Its called scroll down the page, and it works wonders for whiny fucks like you.
If slashdot's quality is waning, why not go somewhere else?.
Actions speak louder than words.
