Who would want it? Die hard long time vegetarians (like me) abhor fake meats as much as real meats - they are disgusting the (almost) the same way.
I'm a vegetarian and I disagree. Some fake meats are bad, particularly the cheap rehydratable variety, but others taste OK. They are not my favourite option but if I eat with non-veg friends and the vegi option is a vegi-burger I will have it and enjoy it.
PETA has this crazed idea that animals are better off dead than owned even if they have absolutly no chance of surviving wild. So that would be perfectly in character for them actually.
I think that is a misrepresentation - they would rather them not being born than being owned, though they go through hoops to define pets as companions rather than being owned.
Seriously every beach I've been to, from the Mediterranean, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea UK, South coast UK has had globules of hardened tar-like oil. I think these must be floating in the ocean world wide. How do they know that this is from the Exxon spill not just general oil in the oceans?

This is India not Pakistan. The government is strongly secular. If you are referring to some elements of the population, well the same description could cover America.
how come slashdot hasn't posted yet on the invasion of ukraine?
At the moment there's only riots, deaths, and a military build-up. We need to wait until someone cuts an internet trunk before it's worthy of SlashDot.
No GCHQ is a well loved benign organisation that has never been wrong or done harm. It is frequently confused for GHCQ, who was responsible for phone tapping, dodgy dossiers and more. GHCQ is believed to be run by that dubious organisation "liberty" together with those who want to cut spy funding.
And with the timing, in the event the regulatory stuff prevented the purchase from Microsoft, it is a good idea for Nokia to keep proceeding as usual and go ahead with the release.
Is that likely? Everyone's been talking like the MS-Nokia purchase was a done deal.
Who is it that supports immigration controls, exactly?
If you have no immigration controls then you will essentially have a situation where people will move to other countries speculatively. This will put a vast strain on resources like education, and so on. You also need to decide how you are going to handle out-of-work benefits, and historically courts have often differed in decisions on entitlement from what the government intended (how do you deal with a family with one foreign born parent - and are courts going to decide that the same must apply to an extended family with one Western born child?). Even if you make a draconian decision that no benefits can go to any family with a foreign-born member then if you have no restrictions you could end up with shanty-towns on the edge of every major city, increased crime rates (most people will do something rather than starve if the minimum wage job that would be a fortune at home doesn't come arround.
Then there are terrorists. Granted three are many peaceful people in India; Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Christians, and Agnostics, but they also have a large number of Muslim terrorists. You can be sure they'd see an open door policy as an invitation to attack the west.
The obvious question that everyone will be asking is "why should I install this rather than cyanogenmod, firefox OS or replicant if I really mistrust big business?
The "solar powered bomb" thing is just misdirection and a reason to confiscate aluminium foil. What they don't want to do is explicitly state how you can use aluminium foil as a component in an explosive device because it might give some of the terrorists an idea they wouldn't have had on their own.
Apparently a simple comment can cause quite a stir.
I'm very well aware that religion is not a race, however, when you have a bigot like the one I replied to, his world view is splitting races along religious lines.

This is Slashdot. Nothing written here about patents is believable.
I don't believe you!

Does evolution in a trench follow the same process of animals stuck on an island? Do things diverge if they can't get out?
No - Noah dropped these out of the ark with lead weights on them - just as he was off to Australia to drop off the kangaroo

Typical muzzie reaction. Faced with the facts attack the person stating them ... in this case for spelling

There's Grace Hopper, but I'm sure there must be some more recent

The Paraguayans are lazy about patching their security holes because the weather is so nice.
Hence the "Maybe Google can helps us". Why bother to leave the hammock yourself!
Indeed there is no such thing as secure self-destructing messages.

Honestly, from a technical perspective it's cool that people do this.
But realistically what are the chances that another mobile OS is going to displace IOS or Android? Very VERY low.
But even as a niche system, if it has some innovation that is taken up by Android or iOS then that's good too.
Sorry but people aren't asking this "obvious" question. It's just about more choice and that's a good thing.
Agreed - it wasn't a criticism its a genuine question. I have a spare Nexus and I'm thinking of putting something on it, but I haven't decided what!
The obvious question that everyone will be asking is "why should I install this rather than cyanogenmod, firefox OS or replicant if I really mistrust big business?
Ugh. Close to zero chance but then tells of crash.
Be fair - he said "close to zero when a drone is handled by an experienced pilot". We don't know who was flying the drone in that crashed in Virginia!
Right up until he hacks your router to disguise his addiction to online dog porn.
So that's your excuse ;-)
Of course this area of the brain is missing in CEO's and political pundits..

Strange. Why would he have spoken Danish?
He didn't want the Dutch to know he was gloating!

No - its you who seems to confuse race and religion. I am quite aware that there are white muslims, black Muslims, brown muslims, and muslims of every race and colour you can think of. They are all as bad because of their belief in a violent, intolerant religion, not because of their colour.
