Because the other theory hasn't been tested, and might be wrong.
Ignoring possible alternative theories, especially for unknowns, is no different from adhering to dogma on pure faith alone, and damages scientific inquiry.
What it/is/, however, is an ideological issue, always. Your software ideology, for example, is that a company should use FOSS where appropriate and propriety when it suits their customers best.
I think the editors or owners of Slashdot are either 1) Trying to increase viewership by appealing to a lowest denominator (Star go boom! Big word scary! Chemicals are mean! Vroom vroom car!) or 2) Trying to deliberately weaken the readership for purposes I can only speculate that. That second theory is bolstered by the clumsy rolling out of 'features' during the past few weeks - breaking things that once worked, adding new features that don't, and in general doing their best to make the site almost more trouble to read than it's worth.
Does anyone else have any suggestions or inside information? It's almost a meme now that 'Slashdot is self-sabotauging', but lately it's just gotten noticibly worse.
Governments, however, do. And are able to monitor such activity. Having your house seized as 'proceeds of illegal activity' is something that would very utterly negate the benefit of using offshore banks.
Killing someone by drowning them in acid, spraying them with a chemical that melts their lungs, or other such, I personally would consider more immoral than a simple bullet to the head.

The headline is a lie.

You feel stupid saying 'tweet', but you're posting on a site called 'Slashdot'.
Doesn't work on me - Firefox, with adblock plus, element hiding helper, and flashblock, running whatever the latest Ubuntu is.
Well, in that case, we should do a thorougly review of the reviews of the reviewed review reviews.
BUFFER OVERRIDE
What overload? How is anything there supposed to be called an 'overload'?
Normally I decry bad submissions, but this one is just confusing.
What irony?
Maybe I'm just tired, but I'm not sure what irony is being referred to by the poster.
And how exactly do you presume that debris managed to strike him before the meteor reached the ground?
And it never is, ever.

Not to mention, didn't the virus origionaly originate in the US?
I vote we call it 'Freedom Flu'. :)
Why do you think they're gone? That'd just different. 'Different' doesn't mean 'exclusive'.
War on Terror, War on Drugs, War on x+1.
What was that again?

Unfortunately, Dollhouse is crap. Firefly, on the other hand...
I dunno, as an admitted griefer, you're still someone I'd hope that Blizzard bans from the game entirely.
And that makes you a troll - you're comparing updates that affect a single browser, compared to this story, of updates that affect an entire platform.
The only Apple bias here is coming from you.
"Status symbol"? Hah! I take it you've not actually used one, then.
"Or this is just speculation and/or distorted information as the result of a long game of telephone, like the content of most articles you find posted on slashdot these days."
Nah, it's just kdawson week.
Russia, China, India, the hope for a human future in space.
You're seriously saying you want certain /thoughts/ to be illegal?
Fuck you.
Because oh no, those poor imaginary cartoon characters need judicial protection!
Won't someone think of the imaginary children?
The USA isn't a democracy, and has never been a democracy at any time in it's history, ever.
The USA is a /republic/.
People who claim the USA is a democracy are /always wrong/. /pet peeve
