Re: Wal-Mart yanks Linux PC, cites lack of childlike wonder

>>>Nonetheless freetard hack boy says, "I don't think this is the end of the road for retail Linux PCs -- not by a long shot," though he concedes that "selling Linux to the masses is going to require more than just a low price tag -- since, when you get down to it, Linux already has that."

Hey, I know! Instead of making Linux better so that people actually want to use it of their own free will, let's just argue on the Internet about it all day, lie about what it's capable of, and tell everyone how much better it is than Windows!

Re: McCain Suspends Campaign

What a transparent political ploy by McCain. Just like the hurricane delay at the convention. He's trying to look "Presidential" by blackmailing Obama because Obama's in the lead and he knows the debates will put Obama even farther ahead.

This has nothing to do with being Presidential and everything to do with cheap politics. The financial disaster is McCain's fault and everyone knows it.

Let's face it. Wikipedia would be a lot more reliable if people like Wales weren't part of it. He has shown over and over that he has no respect for the neutral point of view, editing articles about himself and friends to promote a conflict of interest. His position on the board should be subject to review like all the rest.

"first, between the Secret Service and the parents, then between the parents and the kid."

How do you know? With right-wingers as extremist as they are these days, the kid's parents might be proud of him.

Re: Gmail Sender header

This really irritates me, and they don't seem to see any reason why this should be changed, even though it's a violation of privacy for a lot of users who are completely unaware of the consequences.

When you're logged into Gmail address A, and sending from Gmail address B, why aren't the headers identical to being signed into Gmail address B? I log out and log back in to send from different addresses to avoid this.

"then Google has no choice but to add the Sender header"

Choice 1: Save password information and log into the other email address's account to send it from the correct server, like a normal desktop email client.
Choice 2: Use a dummy Sender address like "forwarded-mail@gmail.com" to protect the user's privacy.
