I normally don't post here because there is far too much bullshit being spread, but I felt compelled by this article, as I feel it is a whole load of bullshit.
Some say that communism failed, pointing at today's devastated economy of the old USSR and satellite countries. But the truth is that communism works very well, China being one of the most powerful superpowers.
A slow transition to democracy will avoid a destructive civil war and sure division of the existing territory.
I for one, welcome our future chinese overlords...
Had the ruskies told the paramedics what gas they had used, it would have been possible to use a standard antidote to save many lives.
The reason why people died is because the gas stopped their breathing muscles, same thing that happens when you undergo general anesthesia.
The fucking ruskies didn't tell because they do not give a shit about their people, and that is the image they wanted world and dog (and chechnians) to see.
Maybe/. should have a 'Spam Site of the Day' link, where it would link directly to the poor loser who contracted spammers for marketing their products...
Hopefully someone, somewhere, is actually paying for the bandwidth...
The difference between robbing a bank or taking a $5 bill from a rich friend's house is solely in the possible punishment. Nothing to do with being morally wrong or right. I must admit I did not see the 'rich' adjective in the initial comment.
And about killing, well, again bad example, it boils down to the person you are killing (or saving).
Anyway, this is horribly off-topic:P
One would have hoped that content companies would learn already that there is no measure they can implement to prevent this from happening...
Well, I think it is just the point that IBM has many places where to place their chips apart from Apple and that maybe Apple isn't such a big market anyway.
Apple is definitely not a high % in personal computers out there, and personal computers are not that many when you compare them with mobile devices... So, when it comes to using cpus, apple is a not so big player in a market that is not the biggest.
Wow, you saw 'Google' in the article title and you still clicked on it, just so you can whine... give me a break!
I hope this article dupes a few times, just for you...
In my case it took me about 3 months to get the local thieves (Eircom) to free up my line from the broadband service that they claimed I had ordered from them (no, never did, why would I order the same package at 3x cost?).
They only moved their asses when finally after about 2 months I decided to contact the Communications Regulator.
Nowadays when your ISP encounters this situation they send you a nice form where you can specify which ISP you want and which one you no longer want... I guess that even with this process it takes about 2 months anyway.

Uh?
IEv7 is worse than FF2 with plenty of old bugs that they never bothered to fix.
DirectX? No competition there, so who cares what do they produce?
What will Zune2 introduce? Piss-yellow cover? HDCP support?
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Microsoft is just trying to express how much they love Apple.
Problem is you can't mass snoop on physical mailboxes, while you can do this on electronic comms.
Hey, do you have more lines like that one? For other common spelling and grammar mistakes...
You have no freedom of speech, not sure anyone really does.
And I am not talking about not being able to yell 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre.

Well, if public companies are supposed to maximize profits by law, what do you think they'll do?
Exactly.
Also, unfair contracts (whether or not such non-compete clause is unfair might be up to a court to decide) are unenforceable.
I read your sig as KFC... I wondered what kind of experiments (chicken related) you were referring to...
Well, couple of dozen would be about the total population of Finland, right?
Yes, you are absolutely right, and I should have checked my facts before posting.
Firefox is no less secure because of Greasemonkey (or more secure because of NoScript!). That was my intended point.
What do I care what 'here' thinks? It is rather simple, if you had 'greasemonkey' for IE, it would also be an extra source of security issues for IE.
Well, how come that as apache webserver became more popular they didn't find more holes? Yet the opposite seemed to apply to IIS.
This is NOT a matter of FF, it is a matter of an extension to FF.

A person who does take the $5 bill would rob the bank if he/she could.

How about replacing it with some beautiful symbol ... it could be known as 'The Browser formerly known as FireFox'?
Oh dear.

And how is the parent insightful? We need a 'dumb' mod...
ISPs/Telecoms probably share the software...

Are you implying that slashdot users are somewhat inconsistent in ther opinions and attitudes?
*faints*
Parent comment is both funny and insightful. Kudos, AC did it again.
