  1. Re:Americans? Imperialist? Don't make me laugh! on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    "the gap between rich and poor is way bigger in iraq and kuwait than in the US"

    I think you just regurgitated some titbit of propaganda you heard from somewhere. Care to give a source because, while I believe it's absolutely false, I'd love to see who tried to say it's true...

  2. Missing the point with only club members voting on Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model · · Score: 1

    If this is to try and crack the consumer market/improve ease of use don't you think that Mandrake are missing the point/opportunity by only allowing people that are paid up Mandrakeclub members (and no doubt already users so where is the expansion possibility?) the chance to decide what is going to go into it?

    I dread to think what's going to come out of this... "Get rid of those rubbishy GUI text editors and make VI the default interface!"

  3. Re:parties for a web browser? on Mozilla 1.0 Release Parties · · Score: 1

    If you'd not been quite so condescending I'd have agreed with you. It's the biggest open source etc etc but it is just a touch "pizza and coke and no sunlight damnit" to have worldwide parties for a software launch.

    Having said that, it's not a bad browser, once you get rid of the extraneous non-browser stuff that is. I really don't like all this tight integration products. I want a web browser, I want a mail client, I want an IRC/messaging client, I want an HTML editor (er.. do I?). I want them to talk to each other but I don't want them to be one big mishmashed sloppy family.
