It's bizarre, how people engaging in a seemingly 'civilized' discussion resort to making negative remarks about celebrities to make their point. Is this lwn or digg.com ?

I actually found the comment quite funny. Why should we always keep the discussion insanely clean and to the point? Even programmers need to laugh once in a while, and I did :) And really, do you think that Paris Hilton cares much for what programmers have to say about her? ;)

Sorry markcox, I did not intend to offend. Allow me to rephrase...

They're afraid "their driver will turn into, I don't know, a frothing cow or something."

Is that easier on your sensibilities?

Does this mean that you equate Paris Hilton to a frothing cow?

For the record, I quite enjoyed the original, along with the brain worms. =)

Yes, I find this statement offensive! I've been a dedicated LWN reader for years and I've never been so insulted!
