Gambit Thirty-Two writes "Old news, but Sendmail has ported their MTA to Linux390." And in other news: sitz writes "It would appear as though some madman has port apache to WinCE <Insert witty beowulf comment here>. It's only been tested on a couple of platforms (including the Jornada 720, and is 'based on the WinNT port, with lots of dirty modifications'. That's still pretty swanky. I've also set up a mirror of this site, which will be up for a couple of weeks." Update: 08/27 15:19 PM GMT by H : Yes, the Sendmail story is a dupe - somebody didn't read my story before posting his. *grin*

Yet another dumb port by Chanc_Gorkon · 2001-08-27 01:55 · Score: 1, Troll

Yet another STUPID port! Except for the ability to say yes that is a web server in my pocket and no I am NOT happy to see you....I see no point (well, not much of one anyway). How come they can't port useful things like gtk and the GIMP to WinCE? I would do it except I would NOT be the guy to take this as a learning C project! :) But seriously, I would pay for a WinCE version of the Gimp! All other graphics editors on WinCE suck. I would buy a Compaq Ipaq.....but until there's sync and all pim support for either Linux or Windows, I will NOT run Linux on a iPaq.

I just heard sad news on the internet - Website author CmdrTaco was found dead with his penis up Hemos's ass this morning. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't suck his dick you've probably enjoyed it up your ass. Truly an American faggot.

What Hemos does in his spare time by Anonymous Coward · 2001-08-27 02:30 · Score: -1, Troll

Many men enjoy some form of testicular stimulation during sex. One of the most sought after techniques is referred to as teabagging, after the motion of dipping a bag of tea into and out of the water. Drop your head below his scrotum, with your lips pointed upward at the scrotum. Allow him to lower his scrotum into your mouth. Suck on one testicle, then the other, then both if you can stretch around. Use your tongue to lick the testicles and the base of the scrotum. Take care to be gentle around this area, as men are very sensitive. Start slow and gentle, then work your way up in intensity, watching his reactions closely. Try stroking his penis while you're teabagging for some extreme oral fun.

My brothers in arms, I call unto you, let us join in celebration... the end of slashdot is drawing near.

VA Linx is bankrupt and the carelessness to hire certain editors that continues to censor certain projects will soon be over.

Now is the time for festivities and celebration. A toast is necessary to say so long to cmdrtaco and his crew.

So to all my AC's languishing from 3rd world nations to the rotten depths of your parents basement in Idaho, let us celebrate this special occasion!

Fight the good fight !
I am sexy teenage girl! by Anonymous Coward · 2001-08-27 06:22 · Score: -1, Troll

I provide permission to grasp my buttocks.

I would like to marry you, but am in impoverished country (can not say which for the government monitors all communication). My parents wish to sell me for the price of five strong oxens, but you must arrange to leave me out of the country. If you come to here, officials in the government will allow you to take home me to your country for the price of twelve strong oxens. Five strong oxens to my parents and twelve strong oxens to the government and you can take home me to your country for us to be married.

Please help me, peoples in my country are dying. I am using country's only Internet terminal (I trade oral sex for Internet access) and may not be using able to it again for large time, so please reply soonly!

I am extremely horny. I will pay you a considerably large amount of money if you would lick my clitoris. I will pay you even more if you would also use your tongue on my breasts, anus, and feet. Please email me so we could arrange something. Only corpulent, unshaven and unwashed Linux users need apply.
