Are these efforts by creationists in USA new (only in the 3-4 recent years) or a constant happening? I mean the attempts to change definitions in text-books etc., I know that creationism has existed for a while.
I got modded down the last time I said the same thing. Apparantly you can't figure out things about a browser by looking at the blaringly obvious menus and the UI. If you do, then you're a retard with no life and too much time on your hand. But not so if you spend much longer on reading a book.
OK people, there's a guy here presenting valid observations and facts which will spoil our China-bashing party which is mostly based on biased US media and an anti-communist sentiment. Let's make sure we convince him the truth that what he actually saw is unreal and the reality is what's presented by biased anti-communist media and what the Americans want to believe. Let's mod him down to hell.
If you're going to make such big comments, at least make sure you know know basic things about India: Hindi is a language and *Hindu* is the religion. And stating that Muslims are the fastest growing group seems pointless and appears almost as if you're trying to tap an anti-Islam sentiment on slashdot. Almost.
If it was a military sattelite, they wouldn't have announced launching it. Even if they did annouce it, do you think they would have publicly announced *what* the sattelite can do?
Again, you don't have the authority to "warn" people. Would I listen to some random guy walking down street for warnings? I'd listen to you if I either knew you or you were someone authoritative, like a top distro developer or someone whose job it is to make comments on slashdot news postings, like an editor (but I won't completely listen to slashdot editors either.) If you have some reason to believe this might happen, like a delay after the freeze during the last release or a specific instance of a glitch in their process recently, then provide a goddamn link to it and explain it in the summary, or leave it out entirely if it's too long. Just don't give us your opinion, it's not worth anything. Now some guy might reply to this post saying sarge will actually be released sooner and it would have as much value as your opinion, since it has just been opinion till now. BTW, I'm saying this because I think you insulted Debian. Don't worry, you're not that important.
Are you insinuating that "Desktop" users are stupid cunts who can't even use the same installer as Ubuntu with just a few more added questions? And are you suggesting that instead of making "stupid" users "smart" by giving them appropriate help and documentation, people should just give in to the "stupidity" and dumb down everything? Most of all, are you saying that how fast one such alleged "idiot" can learn to install a distro determines whether the distro is suitable for "desktop" use, even among "non-idiots"? And by the appearace of your post, are you telling us that you are among the said group of idiots who're going to use something on their "desktop" because of the reasons stated above?
Who asked for your opinion? You're just a poster, you're not even an editor (not like their opinion is worth anything either). Posters giving their (usually different from public/common sense) opinion is increasing these days on slashdot.
This is not just about the word "Tiger" but the use of that word with computers. I don't think that football team has much to do with computers. I bet there are a shit load of companies/products with the name "Tiger". This lawsuit has to do with the use of that word in the context of computers. And BTW, wasn't this lawsuit in USA? How can a Canadian company solve this by licensing the name?
What a loser. I bet my five year old cousin can pull off a GPL violation better than this guy. He's so pathetic that I almost want to hire a hooker for him. Or give him a dirty magazine and some tissue paper.

You know, during the BitKeeper issue, Linus Torvalds was also responding to "some guy" in that mailing list (or forum) post.
Call me a devil's advocate
OK, Devil's Advocate.

Episode three's going to be released soon and lucas want's to do some marketing. "Infomercials".

You Americans can't let go even one article about China without somehow criticising China (usually "censorship"), can you?
Dude, don't use people's comment-histories in arguments, it's pathetic. And retarded. It makes you look like a 5 year old kid.
Good point. Grandparent's point actually works against his argument.
This joke is still funny?
Actually it sounds *exactly* like the Third Voice mentioned in the summary.
First rule of trolling:
Don't make your troll post so fucking obvious to detect.
Dude, linking to my user page and pointing a finger is just fucking pathetic. I won't even argue with you anymore.

I hope I'm not alone in expecting a higher standard from the slashdot editors.
Nope, you're alone. Expecting higher standards from slashdot editors is like a woman expecting to get off from a eunuch.
It's a joke. A rather bad one. Definitely not worth posting on the front page of slashdot. But still, it's a joke.
Man, slashdotters really give the worst analogies ever.

I don't get it. (Is it some US related joke?)
though I would expect it to slip somewhat.

That's a pretty outrageous claim you're making. How can we know it's true?
(Yeah yeah, I know, I'm captain obvious)
