That sounds nice but the basic premise is fatally flawed. The axiom those assumptions are based on is: "More Expensive == Better". This is obviously untrue. If I sell you a copy of MySQL (or Oracle), the product quality is independant of the price I charge for it.
Come on guys, this isn't 1903, the Earth is not the center of the universe and the most expensive product is not always the best (or even better).
So, what's next? Locking up black male babies at birth since they're more likely to be adult criminals than white babies?
Maybe we ought to just round up all the Muslims and put them Internment Camps(see WWII)?
Hey, you've embedded caps in your username, just like a HACKER! I guess we should ban you from the internet and imprison you without charges, just in case. It's for the children, you know.
Do those examples sound silly? They aren't too far off of your suggestion. I've really only got one question for you: How many innocent people is it OK to imprison and execute just to catch one criminal?
Note: This is not flamebait, I just get very excited about SQL. MySQL in particular. I mostly like to read the manual. really. BTW, did anyone else notice the new format and location for the MySQL Docs? I really liked the old format better, although, the completeness of the new edition is cause for much rejoicing.
Pity that they took the Documentation link off their frontpage. I was going to save a spot on my Grand World Council for the MySQL guys. Perhaps I'll give them another chance... That is, IF they get stored procedures done before I take over the world. Muhahaha!!!
The gun regulations have fixed all kinds of problems. Now we don't criminals running around using firearms to commit crimes. Gun deaths have dropped to an all time low and our vision of Utopia on Earth will come about shortly.
If were going to be requiring background checks for model frickin rockets, then what do you think we should require for 10000 pound SUV's? An anal probe and psych eval?
Cause they sure as hell have a far greater damage potential. Especially if you compare both vechicles (SUV and the rocket) with their maximum payloads.
(That's not an exageration Hummer H1 GVWR is 10,300lbs)
What about firecrackers? They're frickin rockets that come PRELOADED with explosives!!!
Holy shit, has no one read the story of Chicken Little?

Some of the other distros do get a bit odd, but the Ubuntu releases are in alphabetical order...
Dapper
Edgy
Feisty
Just as good as numbers, as long you remember the alphabet song.

That's the whole point of the fsckin article! Holy shit, how did that get modded informative?
Oh... Equal Oppoturnity Employment strikes slashdot! See, we've got "special" people just like McDonalds.
Only we don't make BigMac sauce out of 'em.
Hell yeah, baby! Just what he said!
Who's your Daddy?

Finally, a slashdot article with a strong reason to support installing MS Windows on your work machine!
Well thats different.

You guys are reading WAY too much in to this.
There's probably a good reason for it.
Perhaps the guy has no pants on. And he's a leper. And maybe he happens to have a problem recognizing other ppls "personal space".
I'd beware of him too, eh?
Insightful?!?!
That shit post was about as Insightful as a Fox news commentary on perpetual motion machines.
Bah! I suppose I shouldn't really be surprised though.
Come on guys, how many of you have ever hit the "disagree" or "i do not accept button" in your life?
