While I understand why Singaporeans such as you feel you have the need to 'defend yourselves' from the 'big brother' Malaysia north of you, here is the other point of view.
p.s. I am Malaysian, but I like Singaporeans, and I don't understand why the fuck we need to blow this all out of proportion.
Kisses to the Singaporean girls:)
While what you say is true, I think your reasoning does not apply to the post. The poster was merely indicating that usage of Firefox has increased.
If your theoretical poll shows that people using Linux in Slashdot has increased from, let's say, 15% to 33%, it is reasonable to say that the Linux trend is increasing, even though the percentage is higher compared to a different website.
I do not have proof, but this is what is most likely happening. **AA goes to suprnova, downloads a torrent (from whichever mirror) and actually starts to download the movie/song/episode or whatever. Then they just look at the IP addresses of the machines they are downloading from, and off goes the warning letters to the ISPs 'This IP is illegally acting as a server for the following copyrighted work..'
Simple, really.
And they are not doing anyhting illegal themselves because they have the copyright on what they are downloading (or permission from the copyright holder).

And sometimes the subtitles are quite accurate.
Many of the countries hit by this earthquake/tsunami are former British colonies ...
:P
I bet if it happened in the U.S., the British media would give it the same kind of coverage!!
Oh wait...
Nevermind
The difference is that those people chose to smoke.
Spelling `punishable' as `punishably' is punishable by a much stiffer sentence, compared to WILLINGLY splitting infinitives.

We come in peace. Take me to your lizard.
What is this "Lan-u gage' you speak of..? Is it a Japanese network speed measuring tool?
Sir, do you or have you ever used Linux in the past?
Why aren't they developing Bistromathics further instead?
This is Slashdot, my friend. So yes, it's just you (and very few others).
Probably clean windows, since the telephone cleaners landed on Earth.

"...Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Server and Tools Marketing..." Geez, how many VP's does Microsoft have???
OK now they need to build the Control Tower add-on upgrade to the Starport...
Was I the only one who saw only the letters FP while scrolling down and initially dismissed it as a 'First Post' post?
