PS: TFA had it correct:

Some moron thought he'd "correct" it.

Plural of "aircraft" is -- "aircraft".

Ubuntu has a command line, as many as you want.
Every distro does.Just open a terminal.

It just has a lot of glossy tools as well.

It's hard to get a more hands-on Linux installed and working correctly for a newbie. Ubuntu is pretty foolproof to install. Then you have an environment you can learn in.

What gibberish is this? There is an OS, presumably Xen. Unless we're returning to the 1940s and wiring up tubes to make programs, there is an OS.

But apparently no spellchecker. Not that anyone at Slashdot uses one.

Pumping out enough sound for a disco at high quality is much, much more expensive than a couple of tiny speakers next to your ears. Disco speakers are designed to be loud and have lots of bass. Fidelity? No one comes to a disco to hear a recital. I often listen to videos in my living room using headphones, partly because it doesn't bother anyone else in the house, but also the quality of the (cheap) headphone sound is about the same or better than the "hifi" (again, cheap, so not audiophile "hi"), and much higher than that of the built-in speakers in the TV.

I was being ironic. But yes, some generals are less bloodthirsty than some politicians. But as w hole, look at countries like Burma and various Latin American dictatorships to see how military leaders fare. Not well.

Again, LBJ, and anyone else commenting, were not speaking as prosecuting attorneys. Just because the US constitution defines treason doesn't mean we all have to use that, and only that, definition. If Nixon took deliberate action that prolonged a war unnecessarily, costing many thousands of lives of his countrymen, that's good enough for me.

It was LBJ who said it was "treason". I assume he knew the definition.

First definitions I found:

  noun: a crime that undermines the offender's government
  noun: disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior
  noun: an act of deliberate betrayal

Satisfies those. Maybe not in US law, but this a a description of the acts, not a legal brief.

Worse than treason? If Nixon was ready to screw up a peace deal, if he'd had anything on the Democrats, he would have used it. Nixon sent the plumbers to Watergate to dig up dirt on the Democrats in 72.

Yeah, we should leave diplomacy to the generals.

"scan the enitre IPv4 address space."

Slashdot "editors".

Otherwise, this seems even more blatant than the case a few days ago: 41 Months In Prison For Man Who Leaked AT&T iPad Email Addresses. And these guys actually cracked passwords, despite them being trivial defaults, that still crossed over a legal line.

Well, mine said : "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope..." but then it glitched out.

Try it and see what your neighbours and eventually the police do to you.

Actually, I do. And in any case, why would my position on nuclear preclude my objecting to burning plastic bags?

It's the "anti-greens"/denialists/etc who insist there must be a perfectly clean, cheap solution before they will change their own habits one iota. And they won't pay for research or infrastructure, it just has to "happen".

Yes, we should just let everyone burn cheap dirty fuel without any let or hindrance. Why should they pay anything for the health costs to the community from people who killed by cancer, the changes in climate, or anything else? It's only those commie greenies who think polluters should have to pay for the harm they do. We all know that if we just let business make the maximum profit in the shortest time then everything else will solve itself.

Whereas climate change deniers will just find some silly statement some environmentalist said and try to use it to discredit everything any environmentalist ever said. So they can go back to using "plain old lightbulbs", driving their SUVs, and not giving a crap about the next generation.
