I submitted a patch to fix the Firefox name bug, on the basis that it's hard for someone to tell that it's the name of a browser. I suggested renaming the browser to something more marketable, such as Internet Explorer Improved or Internet Surfer or even Free Money, Click Here!.
I'm actually in the process of trying to renounce my citizenship... thus the whole 'Anonymous Coward' thing.
You seriously think our governemnt tracks Slashdot accounts? They're not the Chinese government, for heaven's sakes. Anyway if you're leaving best of luck to you.
The thing is rights such as freedom of speech are not present in Singapore.
Sure it exists. Take a look at all the inane bloggers we have who keep critizing the governent: Mr Brown, Mr Miyagi, Xiaxue etc. The government is willing to have free speech
not to mention its technically illegal to have large gatherings of people
Is that why Zouk and Orchard Road are so popular?
Not to mention their method of campaigning in the 1997/98 (I believe) elections (Either vote for who the government says to or else your district will not get any improvements).
Seriously, who would have voted for any of the other loser parties back then?
I don't know any personally, but my parents have. Its either you get a government 'mentor', get removed from the country (or become an ambassador, etc), or disappear.
If you mean disappearing by immigration like what you're planning, don't make it sound so sinister lah. Anyway unless you can provide names, I can only assume these are rumours.
Being from Singapore myself I can say that Singapore never has been free - it makes a superficial attempt at looking like a democracy, but thats just to appease outsiders.
If your definition of being free means being controlled by the British, then I'm glad not to be free.
Things like other political parties aren't legal..
They are legal and they do exist. They're just not popular.
people have been known to disappear if they hold the wrong views...
Complete BS. Name one person who has "disappeared".
Tell me again why teaching Creationism in schools is not "scientific"? Hell, it stands on more known TANGIBLE historical data than quantum physics (or evolution, for that matter).
I'm not sure what tangible historical data you're referring to, but if it's anything like the historical data for Atlantis it should probably belong in Mythology.
I've never played ICO, but I've become a fan of the game's music.
The ending theme, You Were There, is especially soft and sweet. And yes, the person singing it is male. You can check out the lyrics here.

Stop bashing Linus Torvalds! =(
Nice speech. Are you the poor widow in this case? =)
...a mighty mouse that will cy "Here I come to save the day!!!".
We're rich because we don't do stuff like that. =)
And didn't you email me last week about saving your uncle from some Nigerian jail? ;)
My post seriously doesn't deserve a +5 Funny. Was expecting a -1 Troll to be honest. =|
I wonder which company they're talking about?
Throwing chairs...rings a bell.
Mi...cro...?
Nope lost it.
You've had too much to drink, Master Bruce. And Master Grayson is still waiting for you in your bedroom.
Neve Campbell picks up phone, and hears Google operator ask in a scary voice, "What's your favourite scary movie?".
It's kind of hard to scream "##".

I don't even work for the government. :|
Even if I was a "govt stooge", he should be able to answer my questions as an AC. But he won't be able to, because he's talking out of his ass.

Couldn't Google or Wikipedia for his name, could you???
The only person who's dumb enough not to do that is...OMG IT'S YOU, JACK THOMPSON!
There's Firefox and Apache for Windows, isn't there?
...like Satanic Puppy, I think you'd do it anyway. =P
Ah, the hubris of the defeated.
Balmer retorts: You have no chance to survive make your time.
So the cure is AIDS? =P
If this was a comic book, he'd probably gain superhuman powers from some weird lab accident and be called The Kloner.
Most people buy their computers with Windows pre-installed. To them, the installation process simply involves paying for the computer.
