Even if it *was* stolen, why the heck would they give him his deposit back? "Oh, I'm sorry, I lost your vehicle somewhere...can I have my deposit back that I gave you to cover this exact eventuality?" Maybe if the cops recovered it somewhere, fine, but that obviously wasn't going to be the case.

Now I'm picturing some Oxford-educated guy going around with a rapier, provoking people into challenging him to a duel over his obscure (yet correct) English usage.

I'd watch that show.

I hope you'll understand if I don't feel like spending a lot of effort on pronouncing their name correctly...

Nah. For one thing, I'd have a difficult time convincing myself to use a Zynga anything, even if it was free. Not really that good at Scrabble either, but I'll admit I'm something of a grammar Nazi.

List of English words containing Q not followed by U

qi, qat, niqab...

Next we'll be complaining that we should spell Deutsch as doych.

Funny that we've managed to survive since 1991 without it, then.

Too bad there isn't a setting to filter out all the people bitching about ACs posting. You could at least contain any other useful point in your post if you're going to.

That he was phrasing it as a hypothetical situation means he ISN'T dictating what they do, which you would understand if you didn't just post a kneejerk response. That he has no input on the steering of those listed projects is what's prompting the hypothetical in the first place. You're attacking him for doing things he's implying he can't (and won't) do.

Oh, and it's spelled "narcissistic."

Not sure how the Debian voting system works, but assuming simple majority, all systemd winning the vote might mean is that 50%+1 of voters support it.

I do not call a half-and-half split "overwhelming support." I'd call it "significant support."

Stockholm Syndrome

You can keep your Twitterfication (twatification?), thanks. I don't come to Slashdot for hashtags and 140 characters.

Or, y'know, just angrier. If I had my life ruined due solely to making a joking name on my computer, you'd better believe I wouldn't be getting all introspective about how dare I attempt to make a politically incorrect joke, I'd be thinking the rest of society is fucked in the head.

I'd phonetically spell it Al-Kyda, but hey.

They didn't. Back at 9/11 they spelled it Al-Qaida, and then since a few years later it's been Al-Qaeda. Not aware that a 'u' was ever involved.

I question how much it's "ripping off Doom" (Quake, etc.) if most big-name games these days are actively ignoring the spiritual predecessors in question. It's filling an empty niche.
