The sad thing is that some teachers actually believe this bullshit. For example, Lakehead University's President Fred Gilbert had all wireless internet taken out of the University because he was afraid of the harmful effects of EMF (electric and magnetic fields).
If I remember correctly hadn't the Canadian Supreme court already decided that downloading music for personal use was within our rights? If that's the case then can't we rely on that case as a precedent to help render this presumed upcoming law void?

Congratulations for the lightest and slickest window manager ever
What a load of biased drivel! After considering such window managers as wmaker, Fluxbox, Icewm and slew of others I haven't mentions; Xfce doesn't even come close to being the "lightest". Granted, Xfce is light compared to GNOME/KDE but come on people lets be a tad bit more objective.

What part of discussion do you not understand? If Slashdot was just a facts site there would be hardly anything worth discussing. If you can't handle debating and accepting other peoples opinions go read an encyclopedia, until then quit your complaining.
What the hell are you talking about? Sure nice visuals are going to attract users in the beginning but in the end the deciding factor of whether a user is going to continue using GNU/linux is its usability. As far as succeeding in the real world, I think it's safe to say that GNU/linux is doing quite well considering it's rapid adoption in the server area and recent surge of new users in the desktop end.

How is having less female software engineers a problem? Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with female software engineers but does having less female software engineers really pose a problem for the industry or is this just another rant by some feminist hack to try and garner more publicity?
If they want more meat why don't they just start up a cow breeding program. I would assume that this would yield a greater amount of meat than simply having large rabbits.
I think KingBahamut says it best, "ubuntu is for the humanistic endeavour to evolve linux into something everyone can use." Meaning Ubuntu isn't just for noobs its for everyone.

Judging by this definition, I think it's usage was appropriate ^^This article sounds like an advertisement more than anything else.

Damn, I thought this article was going to be about a chess match between Kasparov and Putin...

Its not _what_ distro you use, its _how_ you use it.
OS X's skin reminds me of Fisher Prices "My First Computer"
You do know that Ubuntu _does_ support other desktop enviroment like XFCE, KDE, windowmaker ect ect?
