So basically you just get a hardcore of about 5-10% of users who just feel the need to whine like little girls about every aspect of an article apart from the important one's.
Not fully, thanks to Seperation of powers, but he has quite a bit. If there's a closely contested bill, a veto could knock it down. And the President is almost the image of the US to the rest of the world, which is an incredibly sad thing(I'll elaborate on this point if you wish)
And I'd comment on the Yale thing, but as you said, another conversation.
And besides, they'll probably grow out of it, since very few people use IM-speak on school papers and such. (Yes, there are instances, but they're rare enough that the people doing it would have made complete fools of themselves some other way in an earlier era)
As you said yourself, "I was a shortsighted twit when I was a teenager, too." The teenagers who are shortsighted twats will grow out of it(at least enough to not say things like
"Ashley u go clean yor room rite now! OMG its teh total sux!") and those that don't will not run the countries' businesses and classrooms, and they probably won't be able to satisfy a certain prerequisite(I think I spelled that right) for having children.
Interesting debate, by the way. Oh, and thank you for not noticing my accidental misspelling of "the" in GP post. I type fast, and I usually check my posts, but the occasional error flies by.
these are the addled-brained nitwits that are going to be running the country in a few years
As opposed to the addled-brained nitwit running hte country right now? Google-search "bushisms". I'd say that the average teenager is better at communicating than this man.
Of course, what do I know, I'm only 15.
Linspire combines the glaring flaws in Windows(terrible security) with the drawbacks of Linux(mostly those derived from the larger developer base working on Windows software), IMHO.
Sounds like something on HomestarRunner.com on the games screen(I think it comes up when you mouse over the plane for "Old Games"): "So old that they're new! Maybe you forgot!"

with Linux they think about how to make things more broken.
That registers a 5 on the Troll-O-Meter.
Oh yes, Linux developers wake up in the morning thinking "How can I make this more broken?"
And now for the rest of your post.
BSD is built from the ground up to be secure, powerful and reliable.
The original BSD was the target of the Morris worm.:P
But seriously, Linux is also built from the ground up to be secure, powerful, and reliable. The modularity encouraged by decentralization doesn't hurt either.
Gentoo is a hack which attempts to make something of the mess than is Linux.
Gentoo is Linux with an improved init and an improved ports.
The kernel is made by one group, the libraries by another, the distribution by another etc. All different, all disorganised.
And a lot of code is shared between Linux and BSD. Quite a few Linux drivers are from BSD, and most BSD boxen nowadays are compiled with gcc(Also note that the current gcc derives from egcs, which, prior to RMS turning over all gcc development to egcs, was completely seperate from the old gcc. Decentralization's benefits in action). And those are only the most important examples.
You don't need to know how to recompile the Kernel
Last I checked, I only needed to do that type of stuff on the more technical distros like Gentoo and such. Less technical distros like Fedora or Ubuntu will set up your kernel for you.
Slashdot Mirror
That's nothing compared to Time Cube.
Firefox doesn't. Neither does Thunderbird.

gah, the was removed from my post.
I think it's Engrish for "By using Skype, he to the major media companies for no money at all".
And this matters to the OP post how?

Interesting, on my Linux that would just create 50 copies of itself, then complain that it can't create any more processes.
Of course, what do I know, I'm only 15.
The best editor? What is possibly vim or emacs but definitely not ed for $1000, Alex? :P
Get Gaim then. It usually uses more up-to-date protocols used by new versions of the "official" client before the old protocols are retired.
Well, I would've gone for "mass debator" or "master baiter" myself, but I think he did get it.
He only has one other post.
Mod Parent Up, just to annoy that annoying 2*2*3*75011 guy. :P
They also claim it's just K because it's the letter before L, as in Linux. Does that mean that GNOME, because of the G, is made for Hurd? :P
Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna say Gentoo. :P
