If you are going to employ the referential term "nigger" please balance your sentiment by also using the referential term "cracker." Cultural pluralism in our day-to-day lexicon is a community effort.

it would be nice. but open source isn't about nice.

I'd love to see Skype come out with a supported, up to date version of their client for Linux first. Oh, and also, not to drop my calls as often. Et cetera.

Mustard/ gravy is a nice to have, but not very useful when the steak and potatoes aren't already on the plate.

When laying claim to a statment that "X is the most important of Y", one would expect that to be backed up my statisitics proving that point.

The only half-serious attempt that the author has made at this is in the 3rd paragraph. And even then, he is merely quoting select figures from distrowatch, without further derivation or detail, let alone an attempt to paint a balanced picture. The rest of the article is basically a listing of the various distros based off debian.

That is precisely what the title of this article should have been: "List of distros based on debian"

Instead, the author has chosen to go for the dramatic, attention grabbing headline - and has in some respects succeeded, in that as he has gotten his article slashdotted.

peace to the allies of democracy. in any command structure, order is necessary to properly execute strategy in an efficient and timely matter. anyone who disturbs that time-structure must be assessed and transferred to an appropriate post immediately. when lives are at stake we must take our tradecraft seriously. if the young man wanted to vent his frustration, give him a punching bag, some scotch and a lay for the night. why must he put the trade of intelligence at risk for petty ignorances? perhaps it is a sign of the times; maybe the old guard isn't as quick and nimble as they purport. i don't know. what i do know is, the industry of intelligence is not to be taken lightly. p.s. i thought taco retired? i'm out of the loop.

Wake me up when this NVIDIA's proposed solution doesn't double my electrical bill and set my computer on fire.

We'll paint it black and market to the death metal crowd.

FTFY

I'm not implying that Apple is the be-all and end-all of computing, but just because you don't perceive value in what they do doesn't mean that the value isn't there.

What they are saying:

What they are doing:

Politicians say one thing and then go ahead and do another. When confronted, they'll double-speak, reframe the issue, or change the topic. Happens all the time - nothing new to politics.

But in this particular case, the gov't's packpedalling on their promises results in a good thing, so I'm not complaining.
