XFree86 Drivers For Solaris

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sincere-flattery dept.

  4. Troll turf war claims three by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    [Reuters] --

    The ongoing turf war among troll warlords has claimed three more trolls today, said Brigadier General John Big Boote, head of the UN peacekeeping sources on slashdot. "The breakdown in civil order since the introduction of slascode 2.2 has left a power vacuum, and now these trolllords are moving to fill that vacuum" Gen. Boote continued. "This is worse tha Somolia in '93 -- or the Congo in 1996" Gen. Boote said. "Hell, with the exception of Egypt and Lybia, all of Africa is a festering hellhole of AIDS, cannablism and Chineese AK-47s" Boote said.

    Among the causualties in the recent chaos was "Stephen King found dead". Authorities cofirmed that this promising up and coming troll was found dead in an alley last Tuesday. "The poor bastard never saw it coming" said coroner John Thomas. "He was gang-raped by a mob of hearless annonymous cowards over in a story about the DMCA" coroner Thomas said. "At first it was the usual beating the dead horse troll, but once that mob got ahold of it, they just posted it to every damn story. That's what is so pernicious in this mimetic warfare being waged across the pages of slashdot these days. Once a troll reaches a certain degree of public recognition, it becomes public property, unlike copyright" said Thomas. Another such casualty of late was the "BSD is dying" troll.

    In related news, the "I WILL KICK YOUR ASS" troll has not been seen recently, and is presumed to have been killed in the bomb blast at Patrick "Shithook" Bateman's compound. Cmdr. CYIaBCoX SUYA, leader of the anti-Beowulf-cluster troll resistance claimed responsiblity for the blast. Speaking from his headquarters under the 57th street bridge, Cmdr. SUYA expressed regret that his mentor "I WILL KICK YOUR ASS" may have succumbed in the attempt on the Beowulf cluster stronghold. "But," contiued Cmdr. SUYA, "no price is to high to pay if we can rid slashdot of the scourage of Beowulf cluster trolls."

    In political news, the Annoymous Coward ASCII art front stated that it will continued carpet bombing discussion threads until Cmdr. Taco repudiates ethnic cleansing against trolls and repudiates the lameness filter. Cmdr. Taco was quoted as responding to the news with a long tirade about freedom of speech, but only for people who happen to run their own website. For a full account of the story, see page eight.
