    When your political enemies start arresting people for wearing "give peace a chance" t-shirts in the mall.

    I'm not saying your wrong, just curious as to the people (must be more than one since this is plural) that have been arrested for this. I did a quick search but could not find anything.

    I assume you are referring to something more current than the 60s.

    Which must be why you are deciding the candidate based on their voting records instead of their bullshit promises for change.

    Really?

    As a Debian user I enjoyed the time trek back to when Ubuntu had nothing to do with linux.

    In the currently charged political climate, I could care less about the troll or flamebait mods anymore so I might as well as fun.

    Sure, since your obviously so open minded you worthless piece of shit.

    Where the fuck is your request to see how McCain is tied in?

    On that's right. You don't really give a damn about the truth.

    Otherwise you would have taken the 10 seconds to see that Obama was 3rd highest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae exceeded only by Kerry and Dodd.

    That was my first hit. That's not even counting Franklin Raines who Obama doesn't even seem to know anymore.

    Unlike Obama.

    "Uh, ah, uh, I think that um, well, that I uh..."

    It's painful watching him speak.

    You don't think he is coached as well? And he still makes mistakes about the number of states we have, doesn't realize that Memorial day is to remember or fallen troops, and gets his own family history wrong.

    When I am calling people back for repairs at my job, I always cringe when I see that someone resides in New York or New Jersey.

    If your lucky they'll just pick up the phone and slam it back down before you can say anything.

    My job requires three attempts (and this is to call people back who asked for help) over a two day time span. Every hang up gets me a step closer.

    (Of course, then they call back a week later bitching to a supervisor that no one ever calls them back.)

    I disagree.

    When you say something is wrong you stand by it.

  17. Re:Debian on Mozilla Nixes Firefox EULA Requirement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The issue was Debian didn't want to follow Mozilla's updated policy about it

    Mozilla's requirements were that Debian submit their changes in smaller, easier to read patches, rather than the single monolithic patch they submitted. There were also some changes Mozilla wasn't happy about.

    The problem was that Mozilla could approve or deny any patch that Debian wanted to include.

    The other problem is that Mozilla did not understand why Debian wanted to backport security patches to old versions. The freeze nature of Debian stable escaped them.

    These aren't emails to conduct official business, they are emails of someone bitching about their job.
