Good omens?

People who read too much Terry Pratchett will know the entire M25 is actually a demonic sigil...

New?

I seem to recall Tolkien's Silmarillion using the word 'unfriend', so I presume it pretty much predates social networking... Although that might have been as a noun instead of a verb.

No problems here

I've been running Karmic since the fifth beta and have not encountered any serious issues. I call bullshit on the sensationalist crap.

WTF?

PackageKit?

PackageKit, "much loved" ? What parallel universe is this? PackageKit is a crappy, unwieldy piece of crap and should be replaced by Synaptic ASAP. And don't get met started on the KDE version...

It's natural selection time

Wasn't there a story a while ago about a bunch of vegan's who inflicted their insane diet on their newborn? And got convicted after it died of malnutrition? So I've gotta ask; how long will it take natural selection to rid the world of all of these idiots?

Side note: that woman who heads PETA had herself sterilised right? Sounds like a good candidate for a Darwin Award - helping to keep our gene pool clean.

Natural Selection, where are you?

All those damn vegans are eating to few calories to feul their brains, so how will it take for natural selection to rid us all of their damn BS?
