Slashdot Mirror
New Linux Set-Top Project
An anonymous reader says
"Linux4.TV is the official open-source website for interactive set-top box technologies based on the National Semiconductor Geode? SC1200 integrated processor and SP1SC10 development platform." Looks to be an interesting project, although since they require registration to download stuff, I'll never know.
I almost got it
There is no point in predating future stories, just knowing that you could beat the system. And btw, it's the first time I do something like this, but all the hype about slashcode and the general double speech in some editors was a good incentive to become a predator.
Just proving that there is ALWAYS a way to beat the system.
I just heard sad news on talk radio - Horror/Fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. He was 54. There weren't any more details. Even if you've never read one of this books, you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. I'm sure we'll all miss him - truly an American icon.
Hey Taco, when are you going to fix this bug
Yeah its offtopic - but /. is absolute crap right around now. Supposedly there was a database crash yesterday. OH MY GOD HOW CAN MYSQL OR PORTGRESQL CRASH? THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Im laughing - oh yeah - laughing real hard. Perhaps Taco should look into purchasing some REAL software instead of having him and his friends write slashcode. Its pretty obvious that slashcode 2.0 (codename fucked) cannot cut it in the real world.
Oh yeah does anybody else know why the Mother Troll himself, Michael, has removed his email addy link from his postings? I suspect the little troll was getting a bit too many flames in his mailbox. What a wimp. At least Taco is willing to take it like a man and respond when you write him an email.
Did I just compliment Taco? Woah - Hell just froze over. Eat your heart out Michael. And mod me down bitches - my karma is already at -6. HOW LOW CAN I GO? (What do you mean slashdot isnt the limbo?)

I love idealists not because I am one, but because they make life bearable for pragmatists such as myself.

That's some crazy shit, dude. It seems a bit far-fetched, but it does explain a few things.
I just heard sad news on trolltalk - Puerto Rican street lawyer John Saul Montoya was found dead in his New Yawk City barrio apartment this morning. He was 35. There weren't any more details. Even if you've never responded to one of his trolls, you've probably visited his website. I'm sure we'll all miss him - truly a Troll icon.

You have been given AMPLE WARNING
Glad to see you got moderated into the ground. Take your offtopic conspiracy theories elsewhere.
yhbt.
yhl.
hand!
That is really fucked up. It does look like they deleted the comment, and now they're modding down the responses.
Is there a super-sleuth out there who can deduce the missing post number? Maybe someone has a cached copy and can repost it? I wanna know what got Taco so mad that he deleted the post and forgot to delete the replies!!!
I typed in Slashdot.org but all I get is Crashdot.org.
YHBT! YHL HAND!

What kind of useless comment is this? It's written in the top-level comment. I hope this isn't some lame grab for karma. Why don't you, mESSDan, reply, anonymously if you wish, and justify yourself?
Strangely, every comment in the "The Truth About CmdrTaco, VA, and Microsoft" thread got modded down to 0 or -1 simultaneously... plus the parent post disappeared. I'm not typically a conspiracy nut, but this is starting to stink.
Bye, bye, MEEPTy, OOG, and Grits Guy....

He's called sting3r, be I not mistaken.
Hey, do you have the original cached? Even crusing at Threshhold:-5 didn't fix the problem that the original is gone. (For those youngin's amongst you, back in the day, the censors preferred method was to mod something down to -2 or below, so even those at default -1 couldn't see.)
THEORIES :
(1) Reading the title, "The Truth About CmdrTaco, VA, and Microsoft" makes me think that this was another lame "BSD is dying!" post, but now that it's been deleted, I've got to wonder. Has Taco gone mad? Has Michael screwed up yet again? Is there really a story behind Rob allegedly getting paychecks from Microsoft? Maybe this is why Slashdot has been sucking recently.
(2) It was a helluva troll. No posts were deleted, a bunch of people (or maybe the same person with multiple accounts) replied to the top level with the Re: The Truth subjects, and maybe even bothered to moderate themselves down.
If this WAS a troll, I give it high ratings. This is one of the top three multiple post trolls, right up with there with the AC who had an extensive flame war with himself (based on alleged facts!) and more recently, the Anne Tomlinson incident.
If it wasn't a troll, I suspect this will be modded down, so then if it is, I ask moderators to push me up. Not because I give a crap about my karma (If you think I do, check my posting history. AND I'll be posting with my +1 bonus), but because I think this should be addressed.
Plus,
- I have a relatively low UID,
- It's a long post.
Prove another conspiracy theory correct by modding me up!
I wish I was too cool to complete any sort of registration / read comments on Slashdot / buy a console gaming platform / get linked my a major news portal / post a story without adding commentary / date human beings.
