It might not be so obvious, but what if Bill G. himself is pulling some strings behind the curtain?
MS has had it in for IBM since the beginning, and now they want to finnish them off. Doing it by a proxy only makes sense. Look at all the bad publicity SCO is getting. That Linux is innocently (or maybe not so) caught in the crossfire, must be like xmas, birthday and channuka all at once for the MS executives.
Jobs is a nice guy, and this article got me thinking. Is he representative for the american population? Are most americans smart and compassionate?
The US are having a hard time convincing the world that there were indeed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They have yet to produce any proof whatsoever. When they eventually find anything, the rest of the world will take it for granted that the US planted it, given their shoddy concepts of truth and justice.
What's really scary is that the US have no problems convincing their own. One out of every third american believes that the US have already found proof of WMD. What's even scarier is that almost 25% of the american population thinks that Iraq utilized WMD against the US in the recent invasion.
The US is the mightiest military force on the face of the earth. At the same time, they have got the most ignorant and easily manipulated inhabitants that you'll ever find. If this doesn't scary you, you're probably an american.
You're completely right. I've even heard euros talking about launching a an attack to preempt the attack the US promised if the international court ever dared to touch their boys.
I wish more Debian users would get off their high horse and quit saying "Your package manger sucks, you should use Debian. Apt fixes all the problems for me", because it's more bull from the other side of the fence.
Wtf are you on about? How can Debian users be on their high horses? Are you talking about Debian developers?
Dependency problems like you describe there suggests that your sources.list or something were faulty. Debian is great, but it's not for idiots.
I'm sure those cunning terrorists can come up with a devious method of sitting still, or something similar. This technology would only work if nobody knew about it.
The freedom fighters got to come up with something better to protect our way of life. I'm sure TIA will take care of it all.
It's not like we haven't got similar, or even larger clusters, right here in the US. Why are Slashdot such french lovers?
Give us a story about the NSA cluster or something like that. Not some lame french wannabe research institution using an american os (yeah, redhat is american).
Having a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone is great. I can upload/download files, synch with my pc etc. With one of those nice file managers for Symbian, and a nice big memory card, it's bliss.
My new Nokia can even play video files. Mmm.. mobile pron.
The article btw, must be written by an American. Over here, there's lots of people using Bluetooth.
"New Labour" is very good at disguising their socialism. Levying stealth taxes such as the tax treatment of pension funds.
In effect, Gordon Brown has "helped" the poor without frightening the middle and higher classes. "New Labour" hasn't taken credit for this, since it would make it obvious to the common idiot that they are doing it.

Those crazy brits. They don't even have a senate.

They sent monkeys into space as early as 1964.
War poll uncovers fact gap
A US source, even.

And all the Slashdot truck drivers rejoice!
(I've been a truck driver, but I don't think there's many of us here)
QNX is designed like a modern os should be. It's straigt out of an Operating Systems 101 textbook.
If only Linux had more of QNX's design niceties and robustness.
Too bad the Amiga/QNX desktop thing never became a big hit.

How difficult is it to just press delete, if you're not interested in the offer?
I agree that email spam is terrible, but SMS ads are free for the receiver and not very annoying.
Commercials and ads are here to stay, better get used to it.

Why do we bother with this story?

totally ass, man. Much like being assfucked by an american.
I'm going to install my laptop today, and were going for Debian unstable.
Would really love to install Ximian Desktop 2 too, anybody got any tips?
Or should I go for Suse instead? (but I love Debian, sniff)
There is this thing called checksums. You might have heard of it.
I agree with the parent. If you're running a shell script, as root, straight from a web server, you migh as well run Windows.

That "Your computer is broadcasting an IP" thing is a hoax.
I know for a fact that all packets (benign or otherwise) have your IP in them.
Now if people would just stop saying "It's called cracker, not hacker. Teh jargon file even says so."
Judging from the previous posts here, not many see this as a necessary feature.
Who do you think'll use this? Drug dealers will. Terrorists will. Is your privacy so important as to accomodate these groups?
Maybe the government ain't so far off anyway.
That "independent artist" crap is starting to get trite.
Admit it, you're secretly loving all those Justin Timberlake songs.
Finally some real and proper glory to Weeta.
Don't care about the Oscars or the BAFTA. It's the voice of the underground subculture that counts.

So, let me sum up. A small county in a socialist European country, have contemplated to at some time in the future maybe change to Linux. Wow.
Why don't you get back to us when a real company in a real (non socialist) country makes a big switch?
"DEATH MAY BE IMMENENT IF OPENED"
What you're proposing is so very wrong in an evelutionary sense.
