Yeah, it's terrible. But why do all of the comments in this story have to be a contest to see who can jerk out the most clever spooge about Bush? Don't you guys ever get tired of being almost witty?
Let's ask ourselves a serious question: economically speaking, would you agree that the United States is a more important market for Nintendo than either Canada or Mexico?
If you don't agree, what sort of reasoning could you put forth?
Wow, you actually turned this into an attack against Microsoft. I'm impressed with your single focus. It takes a real man to stab Redmondward with all his strength, even when it doesn't make any sense at all.
I liken this situation to a joke I heard from Jon Stewart. It's not exactly parallel, but I think it makes the point.
Jon asked the crowd if anyone supported legalizing marijuana. A giant cheer erupted, and it was quite evident that the overwhelming feeling in the room was "definitely." Jon paused (impeccable timing, that man) and said, "Why? Are you having trouble finding it?"
Do you have any technical reasons for your belief that the new Intel chips aren't up to the standard of the G4? I assume it's just bigotry, since that's usually been the case, but you may just be the exception.
You're right about at least one thing - most users don't care at all about switching from Windows, or dual booting. Microsoft doesn't need to give them the ability. Those that do care know how to make it work.
I hope you don't think there's this giant held breath of people dying to switch to Linux. Most people have never even heard of it, and certainly don't care about it at all. If anything, people are going to jump on Macs.
Aside from that, what is a company's motivation to help its competition?
I'm not sure how much visibility this show has to the general public. I don't think that a lack of intel-related announcements would cause any problems along those lines.
Me, though? I'll be crushed. I've got my credit card primed to get me some of the Mactel Magic.
By far the most common use for copying digital entertainment is to share it in a way that deprives the creator of income. I'm not getting into whether that's right or wrong. Just pointing it out so you can unbunch your persecuted underwear.
Yeah, you are definitely confused. Don't worry, you're not the only person on Slashdot that has no clue about how the Constitution works. Just know this - Comedy Central is under no obligation to publish anything at all.
I'm not going to bother educating you any further, though. You'll most likely keep insisting your opinion supersedes reality, and I'll get frustrated.
Fixed fast, and probably tested for at least 15 minutes on one computer. I just don't understand why Microsoft takes their time, in light of this. They should just release the first thing that seems to work.
Which part of Comedy Central's constitution protected this speech? I tried to find a copy of it online, but it's not available, so I figure you must have a hard copy somewhere.
Unless you meant the constitution of the United States? You couldn't have - surely your drug-addled (okay, I'm assuming here, but your handle is a strong hallucinogen) brain isn't conflating the government with a tv station, of all things.
Yeah, the discussion here will be fruitful and complete. Slashdot isn't a one-sided feedback loop that embodies the worst qualities of the internet. Not at all.
Fuck, look at your comment - it dismisses the entire premise as incredible without providing anything more than a bullet point list. No substance. Not a single link. Yet, you get modded 'informative.' Yes, in the strict sense, you informed us all of your bias.
At least you're all stupid enough to think what you type here counts. It keeps you out of our faces out in the real world.
It's a shame, too - take away the blatant onesidedness of this site, and this could be a good discussion topic.
I fully expect this to get the old -1, Flamebait within 10 minutes. Can't go pointing out the truth around Happy Geeky Fantasy Land.

We've been here all along - we're just severely outnumbered by the brainless christians that serve as the Republican base.
That's the most incisive question Slashdot has ever seen.
That's a separate issue entirely. Nice attempt to hijack, though. Shame it didn't draw water.
Yeah, it's terrible. But why do all of the comments in this story have to be a contest to see who can jerk out the most clever spooge about Bush? Don't you guys ever get tired of being almost witty?
Let's ask ourselves a serious question: economically speaking, would you agree that the United States is a more important market for Nintendo than either Canada or Mexico?
If you don't agree, what sort of reasoning could you put forth?
Well, that settled it. I don't know why anyone else would bother to comment after your insightful commentary.
Because Canadians are pseudo-clever American wannabes?
That's probably not it.
Why? Are you having trouble finding porn on the internet now?
Wow, you actually turned this into an attack against Microsoft. I'm impressed with your single focus. It takes a real man to stab Redmondward with all his strength, even when it doesn't make any sense at all.
You fat fingered an x for an e? What the hell kind of keyboard are you using?

The USB ports are split on the current PowerBooks as well. You sacrifice a little to have a laptop with such a slim chassis.

You aren't anywhere near as cool as you think you are.
Yeah, you are definitely confused. Don't worry, you're not the only person on Slashdot that has no clue about how the Constitution works. Just know this - Comedy Central is under no obligation to publish anything at all.
I'm not going to bother educating you any further, though. You'll most likely keep insisting your opinion supersedes reality, and I'll get frustrated.
That's right. Entertainment wants to be free! Rally around, my brothers, while we liberate all entertainment media from their evil creators!
Fixed fast, and probably tested for at least 15 minutes on one computer. I just don't understand why Microsoft takes their time, in light of this. They should just release the first thing that seems to work.
Yeah, that was sarcastic.
You're right. But the tone doesn't change the correctness of the message.

"A chick bleeding out her vagina is no miracle. Chicks bleed out their vaginas all the time."
Your hyperbole isn't necessary, though. This isn't censorship. It's a tv channel choosing their lineup.
I know it's fashionable to bash religion here on Slashdot, but there's no need to go overboard to gather virtual friends.
What are the legal and ethical problems, exactly? Or was this theoretical?
