because they are done by humans for public safety.
Hello? We're talking about an inocent bystander getting hamburgered by a fuckhead driving at 160km/h in the downtown core, this would probably classify as a violation of basic public safety...
If you don't think technology is capable of what we create it to do: A) What the blue fuck are you doing reading slashdot? B) You should find a non-tech time machine, because technology monitors you every day, and will do more so in the future.
Hello? Is anyone out there? Corel is the MOST f**ked up company that ever existed. I can't believe that you are even taking this seriously.
A previous post mentions "Let's hope Corel doesn't screw this up" - they will.
Another post mentions "someone should be fired" - They were! there's only about 12 people left cuz that's all they can afford.
Yet another post mentions "Too little too late" - this is Corel's motto.
Let's be serious, this is the linux equivalent of splitting the vote. If they were smart, they would help develop OpenOffice. Corel just doesn't get it.
Corel CEO (Derek the TOTAL LOSER Burney) in conversation:
-We are going to be a graphics company! Yay Anyone remember CorelDraw? No?
-OK we'll be a linux software company then... What do you mean Corel Linux blows?
-OK we'll be an office suite company then...
Oh, Microsoft cornered that market 20 years ago... nuts. But we can still compete with Microsoft Works family pack!!!
-OK then we'll be a graphics company...
-I know! how about a Linux software company!!!!
I can't speak for Europeans or Americans, I am neither. I can speak for myself though.
As much as we hate the idea, US'ers own everything, have most of the wealth (therefore power) in the world, and do so by exploiting their hegemony (as did the British against whom the US'ers rebelled for that very reason).
If it were as simple as the leader of the US remaining the leader of the US and minding his own business, no one outside the US would care much who the leader was. But this is the problem isn't it? The Leader of the US styles himself the "Leader of the free world" and genuinely believes it. I don't remember a "Leader of the free world" election, which makes him the "dictator of the oppressed world". While preaching like a missionary to the savages about democracy and open markets, Bush's machine imposes protectionist duties on imports, invades countries at whim, implants dictators, removes them, etc.
You can't think that the leader of the US has no impact on the rest of the world. Who is elected in that country has a direct impact on everyone.
Slashdot isn't a big endeavor. Good content? yes. Interesting? Yes. A big endeavor? Hardly.
ps: I wasn't complaining, I was merely initiating a discussion. don't be so sensitive. Really.
Slashdot Mirror
Does anyone even watch TV anymore???
Sorry man, reading slashdot doesn't count as "work"...
What, is "intuitive graphical environment that works right out of the box" the phrase of the week?

That's what happens when you overclock your turn signal...

That's why we hate him.

You want to complain about bandwidth usage? What exactly is the difference between banner ads (such as ^^^^) and spam. Really.
What a great idea. A luddite revolution for the new millenium. It all starts with the first power button! I'll just reach down and
