So, essentially, wouldn't that say "Look guys, we finally caught up to 19 year old technology and we're pretty fucking proud of it?"

In a press conference this morning, 600 KB/s stated that "after months of being abused and hit, it's finally time to stop. We won't cooperate anymore until the ISPs stop hitting us." Soon afterwards, higher speeds also agreed with 600 KB/s and followed his example.

News at eleven.

A bag of rice fell over in China. Please put this up as a story!

Rest in peace, Sun Microsystems.

I'll admit, I've never ever read the entire GPL (or one of its variations), simply because they're so incredibly massive that I just know there's some paragraphs just to screw people over. I refuse to use any license I cannot understand within two minutes, including reading time. Everything else is just plain ridiculous and will never be done by any kind of end-user anyway.

Because of that, I try to avoid using any GPL code, no matter what variation it might be, as much as possible in my code. Just the sound of GPL makes me run in circles, then crying myself to sleep in a lonely corner.

"The release also brings the latest KDE and XFCE versions, improved Btrfs support, amd a switch from OpenOffice.org to LibreOffice."
I'm pretty sure it should read "and a switch."

This could actually really prove to be useful, since that could open the possibility of a "counter-trojan" infecting all vulnerable computers and getting rid of other Zeus installations, while then proceeding to purge itself.

There's quite an amount of people who do get moderator points but don't have the time to actually use them, not to mention it's usually such a small amount that proven good moderators can only take minuscle action while karma whores can mess things up big time, meta-moderation only has a limited amount of influence, too.

1984 and Animal Farm would most likely not become mandatory, simply because they might teach people to be wary of what's going on so that the government can't screw them up bit by bit. That's not what a good, fair, nice government wants, since that would mean people wouldn't be able to be controlled 24/7, just think of the children!

Why bother with funny?
It won't raise your karma, even if +5 Insightful never made anyone snort coffee out of their nose.
