No offense, if you like Johnny, but I'd assume French slashdotters to be a little more musically educated. His success just shows how "uncool" the French are.
In other news, pam is dead, 640Kb is enough for everybody, Gates is respected 'cause he gives money away, Ballmer never had any anger management issues,.NET is ubiquitous and Google's days are counted!
Supports the link between drinking and agressiveness;-)
More seriously, being surrounded by wild animals and enemy tribes maybe the reason they only half-sleep.
Leaving the state of Israel in the middle east is the one thing that guarantees unstability in the region. While I deeply wish that the conflict is solved, I know it's like putting cats and dogs in the same cage.
One of the signs of the "rapture" in Islamic culture is the day when the Jews and Muslims get along.
That's what results from patents being legal for software. You people should really try to reform the system there. Europe got the point and luckily refused the proposal to legalise software patents. More info on http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/
A quote from Kassovitz's movie "La haine":
"A guy falls from the 52nd floor of a building, and during his fall at each floor he repeats to himself: Up to now, everything's allright.
The fall doesn't matter nearly as much as the landing."
The guy himself admitted some of his posts to be "extremely racist" according to this article http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid =32352/
The two bloggers convicted last month replied harshly to a mail from a Muslim woman to taxi firms. She asked the taxi firms to stop taking dogs onboard because of hygienic reasons (from TFA). I love pets, but insulting a woman who makes such a simple request is clearly out-of-line.
I concur; Suprnova and the others were wonderful. Yet, it didn't take long to get very decent engines. Check out http://thepiratebay.org/. I especially get a kick reading their answers to the letters they receive from lawyers of M$, MPAA and many others (read them, they're really fun!). They're located here in Sweden and I can't help but wonder what the US legal system can do about it? Now, imagine a Chinese good bittorent search and you'll get the untouchable nature of the thing.
I believe the move falls more into the "nothing personal, just business" stack. Windows' TCO sucks! Plain simple.
Except from that, you made excellent points there.
All I'm saying is that the riots in France and the global terrorism both derive from political mistakes. If the government endorsed responsability for the kids deaths, it could've taken a more peaceful turn. I don't even wanna get started on Bush and what he's doing. The US need to go to war to keep their economy flowing, and that's just what they're doing. While being totally against any form of violence, I believe that it is highly unlikely that they get away with it.
As for the Turks, I have no illusions: they were no saints. But let's keep things into perspective. I googled for "islam history timeline" and here's a quote from the first hit:
"In 1492, when King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella made all the Jews leave Spain, many of them came to live in the Ottoman Empire, where the sultans welcomed them and let them follow their religion." Historyforkids.org
I believe the rioting was because of the dramatic incident in Clichy-sous-bois (two boys being electrified because of a police patrol). No doubt, racism exists in France and the sentiment is strong among the police. Take a look at the score of the last presidential election where Jean-Marie Lepen, a "man" who publicly referred to the Nazi gas chambers as "a point of detail of the Second World War" and calls for isolation of AIDS people in ghettos, almost got to be president.
Islam is a set of rules by which Muslims are supposed to live their daily lives, and having read the Quran and part of the Sunna, I know that debate is highly favored in decision making (Democracy?). Now, that some nuts implement their own distorted vision of Islam is another thing. Sharia law is quite subjective. That you relate it to Saudi-Arabian's law shows a lack of knowledge in the matter. Throughout most of Islam's existence on earth (except this last half century), never has a Muslim told a Jew or Christian how to live their lives. Jews and Christians were allowed to practice their religion (provided they paid their taxes, Muslims were ruling).
Like it or not, Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and in most parts of the world, and unless the US (i.e: Bush) stops being so greedy, a clash is inevitable. Riots in France are an illustration of what might happen.

This is probably redundant, but what's wrong with installing Photoshop with Crossover Office? I have never had any problems at all with it.

To quote Lisa Simpson: "Aren't the police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite?"
So, you people are ok with killing innocent children to have cheaper energy aand better gaming consoles. Makes me proud to be human.

... And you know the end of the world is close when slashdotters make such statements.

Engineer's prerogative! Ever seen an MBA ending up working as an engineer? Not me.

Use Gnome's taskbar-embedded dictionary.
Anybody else noticed the weight is not mentioned? Neither in TFA nor on the retailers sites.
Better yet! Use Amarok as your media player. It offers binding using the windows key by default.
You must be new here! ;-)

Can't really see how you're gonna shutdown Bittorrent. It's in the peoples' hands now!
