Would most people be better off undiagnosed? When it comes to mental "illness", often the only (or at least the best) treatments are behavioral therapy, in which the "illness" is trained away.
I'm sure you posted the above in good faith so I've deleted my original knee-jerk response to your comment.
Instead, let it suffice to say that behavioral therapy is only appropriate, suitable or relevant for a very small percentage of patients that fall under the encompassing umbrella-term of 'mental illness'.
One does not train away the illness of what we currently label as Schizophrenia, Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder.
What the hell kind of ignorant, 6th grade, piss-ant research article is this?
Of course, this comes from the same man (Varun Dubey) who said:
"XP is such a joy when it comes to simply connecting a device and watching the pretty little bubble detecting it and saying "its installed and ready for use" makes the slightly high price absolutely worth it. In Linux, you have to recompile a kernel if you want to so much as change your modem! Give me a break guys, Linux is light years behind Windows XP and I am sure it will be further back biting the dust when Longhorn (now Vista) comes out."
"A flaw in computer programming"?
I'm calling their bluff. This is complete bullshit. How hard is it to calculate the length of a jail sentence?
This was either user error in the original input of the data or someone on the inside was exploiting the system for their own purposes.
And exactly how many people were let out late? Programming error or not, the State is liable.
Yeah right, and I got a CD I can sell you for $1.99 that comes with a secure OS, a thousand pre-installed programs, and the support of a community bound by a noble cause...
No, no. Wait, I got that backwards, let me start over.
Plaintiffs allege that Microsoft unlawfully used anticompetitive means to maintain a monopoly in markets for certain software, and that as a result, it overcharged Massachusetts consumers who licensed its MS-DOS, Windows, Word, Excel and Office software. Microsoft denies Plaintiffs allegations and believes that it developed and sold high quality and innovative software products at fair and reasonable prices. The parties settled the case, and on June 28, 2004, the Court conditionally certified a Settlement Class (defined in the notice) and preliminarily approved the Settlement Agreement. The Court will decide whether to grant final approval of the Settlement at a hearing on December 3, 2004.
Thank you for your post. I am glad someone is able to look at the bigger picture.
I would like to add, as someone who has used both of the aforementioned browsers extensively, that comparing Opera to FireFox is akin to comparing apples to oranges.
FireFox is a good browser and that is what it is designed to be. Opera, on the other hand, has a sophisticated set of features that allows a browser to become a tool that serves to enhance the browsing experience. For research purposes, Opera is unparalleled. Opera is very well suited for the Academic environment, and I applaud the decision to make Opera available to the academic community.

This is beyond a 'lost art'. This is shameful. Slashdot has reached a new low.
OK, How many of you misread the title as Stupid Parents?
Bows head in shame... Seriously though, it sounded plausible enough at the moment.

Shouldn't slashdot also be responsible for verifying the validity of news stories they accept.
Nah, too technical.

Too little, too late.
You've got to be kidding.
Since when is it "dirty" to tell the truth?
Bill? Is that you?
I can't wait to sign up for Microsoft Desktop Search.
In the end, the meek shall inherit the earth.

Whats wrong with this picture?
