    You're all bashing Taco for his outwardly elitist commentary when the exact same thing flows from most of you on a daily basis.

    The difference is he is attaching his comments to the actual news story, where others are posting comments.

    Editorials should be left to editorial articles, or to comments about articles.

  2. Mandrake 8.1 coming soon? by 2ms · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does anyone happen to know when we can expect to see Mandrake 8.1? I figure it would have to be pretty soon. I've never looked forward to a release so much as I've been looking forward to 8.1, cuz 8.0 was such a huge improvement over 7.2 even though it was a bit too early for things like XFree86 4.1.x. Can't wait to finally get all the kernel optimizations for AMD and 3-D card drivers that should be in 8.1. I expect I'll be able to play QuakeIII with Mandrake 8.1, which will mean that I can finally go single-boot. I expect it will probably also have KOffice 1.

    Okay, here's the explanation - they said there's no 'ROSWELL'. Strictly-speaking, this is true, but only in the 'stupid UNIX-style filesystem' sense. Since uppercase characters are different from lowercase ones, 'ROSWELL' does not equal 'Roswell', therefore, while there may, indeed be no 'ROSWELL', they've certainly not addressed 'Roswell'.

    Also, I heard when you bootup the new beta, it plays a Dido .mp3. Sweet.

    Elitism isn't a very attractive feature in anyone... but then it's not Rob's fault, really.

    He is what the /. community has made him into. He's basically his own boss, who's got a shitload of cash at a very early age, and reality can't touch him - so he's free to poke fun at whatever he pleases.

    ...but you rejected it. :-( So much for Slashdot's efficiency.
