Comment DinoRMS (Score 1) 1008

RMS had his moment in time/history. Unfortunately for him, he's become a dinousaur, and we all know what happened to dinosaurs...

Nevertheless, we must be thankful for his work, and the work of other programmers as well, on the GNU software which is a very very important part of any Linux distro. However, if people would have blindly followed all his recommendations, ou favorite OS would not have support for binary/proprietary dirvers such as nvidia's and we would be nuts trying to use the GNU/Hurd microkernel. Who would use anything else but Windows in today's modern computers?

Fortunately, there's more to GNU/Linux than the GNU software plus the Linux kernel.

All fanatisms suck big time.

Comment this is about legitimacy of the order (Score 1) 675

Well, as I live in Spain and I watched Spain's TV news today, it looks like these "templars" just want recognition from the Pope. They haven't sued The Vatican or the Catholic Church. They have sued Benedict XVI as legal succesor of Clemente V, as he was the one who suspended them. They told reporters that getting monetary compensation from The Vatican is quite utopic and they were not finally looking for that. They just want the Catholic Church to realize how unfair they were to them.

Having said that, I believe they're going nowhere... If we suddenly started whining about all historic injustices we find in history books, judges wouldn't have time to take care of present ones.

So, George W. Bush, I, as citizen of the Spanish Empire and direct successor of Christopher Columbus I demand you give me back Florida, Louisiana (Sarcossy already agreed), Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and crush one and for all Cuba's communist regime (they'd never be there if you Americans had not supported Batista) so I can conquer them again in the name of the Holy Church of Tourism Money and Capitalism. You Southern Americans better move out 'cause I'm coming!!!!

Thank you for nothing :)
