Ray Kroc didn't found McDonald's, he merely opened up franchises all over the country and then hijacked the name. The McDonald brothers founded McDonald's.
I'm a citizen of the UK and the social and public service problems that Thatcher caused, with her "No such thing as society" stance and rapid privatisation, invalidates any possible reason for Thatcher to be considered good.
For the record, I am a member of the Liberal Democrats and believe that Blair is just a Thatcherite in disguise.
Another example of the age old technique of profiting off dumbasses, this time by charging them money to do what they usually do for free, or could quite adequately automate for free.
That way you get unbiased info untainted by either party, with all the nitty gritty details. Try it with friends, see if they switch allegiances after seeing the truth.
I always wondered about that... in Firefox.10PR (and in previous version I used) Slashdot's main content area overlaps or runs flush with the left nav. No padding, no margin, whatever. I remember reading articles on A List Apart about redoing Slashdot, which made me wonder why this was still happening.
Is this a problem with Firefox or with Slashdot?
Um, you must be new here. I can't remember how many comments I've seen bitching about that. Put simply, it's a FF rendering bug which we've had for ages and can be solved by doing Ctrl-Scroll Wheel Up and then Ctrl-Scroll Wheel Down.
Personally, I object to honoring Bill Gates for anything. As far as I am concerned, he is an unethical shmuck who bears principal responsibility for the suicide of Gary Kildall. Search on "Gary Kildall" if you do not know who he is.
This is odd because I can find nothing of the sort anywhere that would link Gary's death to Gates. Wikipedia says he suffered a fall at a bar, which seems to discredit any idea of Gates being responsible...unless he pushed him of course.
Slashdot Mirror
...and that that was modded Insightful makes me veeeery worried about the US political process and media.
So? I know Fox, they'll just make a big map with all of the borders between European countries removed and label this new country "FRANCE".
Sneaky Ailes bastard.

Will never go back to Hotmail.
It's crap, it's slow, it's ugly as sin and full of ads. Plus it's a portal to the IM network of sin...
You have to be fucking kidding me.

For some reason, the parent reminds me of Bill Hicks.
The BBC did NOT launch in 1982!!!

ON TOPIC!
A long explanation of why MSN sucks.
Go to CNN International's homepage, scroll to the bottom and click CNNtext for a good look at what Teletext is like.
It's a gaping security hole.
Keyboard and Sickle is mine. Only very sparingly updated, mind.
Dude, don't encourage Repubs to vote Libertarian! That'll make it less likely for Bush to get into off...oh, that's the point. Sorry.
Heh, I am in the UK: yup, it's very very irritating and I too have seen the light of GAIM :P

I have an idea. Rather than watching campaign commercials, read each candidates Wikipedia page.
John Kerry
George Bush

It seems kind of appropriate to have a folder full of porn called "sex" on the fucking desktop.
Mod parent down.
The Green Party candidate this year is Cobb, not Nader.
No, Communists.
Yay, a new cold war!
And you all laughed at me for building that fallout shelter all those years back? WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!?! HUH?!
water into wine/beer/rum I'll buy
See, I read that as "cum" before and wondered what the fuck you'd do with lots and lots of cum.
And then I read it as rum and felt slightly foolish and dirty.
So who do I vote for then? Kermit The Bot?
I'd vote for Jet-Poop from Everything2.
The guy makes fucking sense, too bad (it looks like) it's a joke.
No?
Didn't think so.
Who thinks this is going to be the Internet equivalent of Fox News, just slanted in the opposite direction?
