  1. Linux found dead by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Linux, the diry commie bastard free operating system, was found dead in its rundown igloo in Hellsinki this afternoon. Sources in the coroners office stated that it had succumbed to complications due to a nasty GPL virus. You are probably one of millions of Windows sheep out there, but still you should have heard of Linux's involvement in the dotcom crash of 2001. Truly an American&sup1 icon, it will not be missed.

  4. The best birthday present I can think of.. by Bowie+J.+Poag · · Score: 1, Troll



    The best birthday present I can think to give the Linux community on its 10th birthday is the news that Slashdot casually forgot to mention that trading on VA Linux Systems' stock was halted yesterday during market trading. The quicker this company falls off the radar, the quicker the Linux community can go back to being the way it was before VA came along. Cooperative, fair, and fun, instead of competitive, corrupt, and stressful.

    With that in mind, its easy to say that Linux has a bright future ahead. Here's to another 10.. :)

  5. Tar'd Balls... That reminds me of this joke... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    There were two black guys in a Garbage Truck driving on the freeway. Trash was flying everywhere and a motorcycle police officer pulled them over for making the mess. The Officer said, "Hey do you guys know that you are making a mess on the freeway?" The two Garbage Truck workers replied, "Oh sorry officer suh. We'll clean it all up."

    After about 20 minutes of picking up trash from the freeway, the Garbage Truch workers returned to their Truck and the Police Officer wouldn't let them drive away: "I can't let yo uguys drive away and let trash fly everywhere again." The Garbage Truck drivers turned heads, whispered, and said to the officer, "We have to meet our quota and must get back onh the road as soon as possible. Would it be ok if my assistant were to get up onto the garbage, lay down, and keep it all from flying out?"

    The Officer said, "That's ok, but as long as yo udon't make another mess or I will give you a citation and fine you."

    The 2nd Garbage Truck dude climbed onto the trash and layed down and they drove away. As they drove under an overpass, two Hobo's were walking and one of 'em pointed and said, "LOOK! SOMEONE THREW AWAY A PERFECTLY GOOD NIGGER!"
