Dear KDE devs,
Please rethink the vertical text that has infected KDE4 like so much ringworm. It's hard to read, hard to use, and completely unnecessary. Also, please stop aping Windows Vista and 7. Or at least stop copying their bad ideas.
Thanks.
I personally love vertical text and have no trouble reading it
Basically what you are saying is that if I say something insulting and demeaning about someone, and you agree, it is gravy. But if you disagree with me and find it indecent it is a completely different story.
yep why should we be allowed to defame anyone on the net or anywhere else the same rules for defamation that apply in general society should apply on the net and thats basically what the judge said. yah for a judge that got it right.
Watching PETA ads doesn't make me wanna become vegan. In fact, seeing those naked women just make me want to eat some meat, if you catch my drift.
As for me all I can say is what a load of crap, the Peta adds that is typical vego's trying to stop us eating meat, and using any Lie they can think up to do it.
But I'm Alergic to coffee
you insensitive clod
I've never understood why Christians are so afraid of finding life on other planets or why atheists are so adamant that it will prove the Christians wrong. The Bible doesn't say anywhere that there is only life on Earth. If you take the creation story in Genesis metaphorically (lots of Christians do), then life evolving on other planets doesn't clash with theology at all; unless of course I'm totally missing something, in which case please point it out because I'm curious. From what I see, religion and science aren't necessarily incompatible.
Hmmmm you make the mistake of thinking that a few noisy folks make a majority just because they are so noisy, I for one have no problem with God creating loads of aliens or even that all those aliens might also have been created in his image, God is rather big so big that you could make an infinite number of images of him all different, all showing different aspects of him.
I find many of my brothers and sisters think like wise, when I talk to them.
As for taking Genesis metaphorically what relevance has that to the issue one way or the other?
Even more literally..!

If you'll indulge a tangent here...
the Apache license is MUCH more free than the GPL
I find the debates about which OSS license is "most free" to be rather silly, because: 1. All the "major" OSS licenses (GPL, BSD, Apache, etc.) are awesome, in my opinion. They all do great things and greatly help free software. So debating about which one is "the best" seems counter-productive because it obscures the fact that they are all good. 2. The debates usually have an implicit assumption that "freedom" is a one-dimensional axis, and we are trying to maximize the amount of "freedom." Occasionally someone will insightfully explain how freedom is more complex: one person's freedom may come at the expense of another; you need to distinguish between user freedom, developer freedom, distributor freedom; etc. Overall I prefer to think of "freedom" as being multi-dimensional.* A particular license may maximize along one freedom-axis, while not being maximal along another freedom-axis. And there may not be any license which simultaneously maximizes along every axis. Hence no such thing as the "most free" license. (But there may still be ways to rank things; e.g. most proprietary licenses are less free along every axis.) In other words (and you would think this would be obvious): the "best" license depends very much on the particular situation and one's particular priorities. (* I believe this multi-dimensionality applies to many "wavy-gravy" human concepts/principles/emotions. Too frequently we argue about things as if they were binary or 1-dimensional, when even a cursory analysis shows them to be more complex than that.)
V V V true the place I most often notice this is in politics where people often view view points as ranging along a one dimensional axis of left to right, in my opinion extreme left and right wing are basically the same thing look at so called left wing soviet Russia and so called right wing Nazi Germany, look at what they did murder concentration camps etc so close to each other give or take a little political flavor, so I would say that left and right wing are circular hence there must be at least 2 dimensions of political opinion, in actual fact I would say there are many dimensions involved
fuck, now i have to go to the fucking state house and tell Sanford and all the other asshole to gtfo. Who's with me! Imagine, a bunch of Slashdotters holding up signs that say Get the Fuck out. I hate living in this state with these fucking retards. Fuck!
Hmmm I hate profanity, but I really cannot see how I or anyone else has the right to enforce that on anyone else.
Americans leave out the "u" in colour, armour, neighbour, etc. We no longer pronounce "night" as [ni:xt] or [ni:t] (IPA). We could come up with a huge number of examples, but why bother? Language evolves over time, words lose or gain meaning. It's a natural process. You'd think an academic institution would understand this simple concept, but I guess grabbing headlines is more important than practicing proper academia.
Emoticons are just an evolution of a new language. It's actually quite extraordinary. We have now created symbols that can represent simple meanings cross-culturally and cross-linguistically, and these symbols are popularized in large part by the youth of the world. They are creating a whole new language right before our eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if we would soon be able to communicate simple messages between different cultures that speak different languages via symbols (some would argue we already can). It's a shame that institutions such as this one and the "get off my damn lawn" crowd are ridiculing such an extraordinary example of the human ability to adapt and break down communicative barriers.
