I wonder whether you think it is possible to report news critical of the Bush administration's policies without becoming "partisan." Or do you suppose that "the facts have an agenda"?
When faced with a complex and evolving international situation, pause awkwardly and then say the foreign leader's funny-sounding name in a funny voice. Destination: funny!
This is of course a story worth running on the front page. But, damn, there's a lot of astroturfing in the comments. Hope you all will enjoy your first free month of Napster service... and your eon in Purgatory.:-o

Maybe I'm being paranoid here...
Thou hast said it.
... but isn't it convenient that if you want to sign up and post a comment about a story that you want others to see, you won't be able to do so until the story (and so your comment) have dropped off the front page?
That would be a truly compelling objection... if you had to register anew each time you wanted to post a comment.
Are you implying that the Emacs/GNU/HURD mascot is poorly conceived and drawn and gives the products associated with it an air of profound unprofessionalism?
I had the same questions when I saw the headline. Then I read about the fact that the "story" itself was cobbled together by a spontaneously labor-dividing group of volunteers. So, now I think it does make sense to call it "open source," by analogy, even if there is no source code.
Oh, yeah. Or the bit where the stupid "protocol" didn't allow that one guy to do that thing he felt he needed to do, but he did it anyway, consequences be damned. That was awesome.
Heraclitus -- He was apt to say odd things. Once he even wrote that "Religious ceremonies are unholy."
He said that the processions in honor of Dionysus, in which people carted around giant phallic symbols that were explicitly understood to be symbols of the phallus (you know... great big cocks), those processions would be unholy if they weren't in honor of the god, which implies that he did think they were within the bounds of piety.
I've even written some reasonably clean, well structured code in perl myself
That's quite a trick. I thought it was necessary to use a computer language to write code, but apparently, according to you, one can also write code "in" an executable.
Or maybe it performs a service something like anacron. My computer is seldom running when cron wants to do its magic, and if it is running, I'm usually using it and don't want a cron job running. What a predicament!

He deserves worse.

Duh! He's the guy John Stuart was rumored to be replacing.
Good job, Slashdot posters! You done us proud!
Can't quite make out that date format. Is it the 0th of December or the twelfth of Nonuary?
Release what? Do we need a hazmat team standing by? Or just some clean towels?
Ergo, no one knows. The proof is left as an exercise for the reader.
Oh, yeah? Well, Ben Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Liberty deserve neither." Suck on that!
Taking Sturgeon's Law as the major premise, the syllogism is trivial. Accordingly, it is left as an exercise for the reader. :-)
"land line." Thank you for your attention.
I predict you will go back in time and become a famous 16th century English playwright.

If you were, that would be a good point.

You mythpelled "honetht."

It's "egregious." I should know. I have a Ph.D. ;-)
But wasn't there something using the help:// protocol that was fixed by a security update this fall or summer?
Ah, yes. Here it is.
Or maybe it performs a service something like anacron. My computer is seldom running when cron wants to do its magic, and if it is running, I'm usually using it and don't want a cron job running. What a predicament!
Now that's a gcc flag I haven't seen: -fflavor. Before I knew what it meant, I always thought that -funroll-loops sounded pretty tasty. :-/
