New York Red Cross Needs Tech Help

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-we-can-do dept.

zosa writes: "The New York American Red Cross is in dire need of technology equipment and services. The field workers and sites have little, if any, means of communication and the central office is processing way too much on completely paper systems. Your help in acquiring these resources would be greatly appreciated." You can read more over at this page. Finally something that the average Slashdot reader can do to help.

    Nice fucking ads on that page by the way. Wonderful of them to ask for help on the page and make money off of people trying to find out how they can contribute. That's the most annoying ad I have ever seen.

    I actually belive that Microsoft is the one who did this terrible, criminal act.

  3. Dude Fuck off...Let's see Linus pony up some $$ by Win-Developer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Microsoft is donating millions of dollars to the relief funds, and they're matching employee donations as well.

    Why don't you take your head out of your ass, and get real for a moment. This is not a time to be a Linux zealot and force Linux on people. That is what they ***need*** to do their job. If they wanted Linux or a free office suite they would have asked for it.

    I'd also like to see Linus or perhaps a larger Linux company pony up some $$ for the relief fund. That would bring Linux some good press, think it will happen...no.

    You've never been to a Linux or Open Source convetion, have you? 99% of the attendees are obese pigs. They exist on cola and junk food. I wouldn't want their blood anywhere near my circulatory system.

    Since DOJ has other things to take care of (Like hunting the terrorists) the borg will most likely escape for few days which is just enough for them to get WinXP out to shelves. In other words, they
    will most likely steal way more money and so the donation of $10 mil. could be a bit bigger, maybe?
    After all this tragedy is going to earn them way more in the long run.
    I'd guess that proper would be to call all uses of their products in helping to recover from the
    national disaster as legal no matter of having the
    license purchased or not.

    The dead cry out for vengeance:
    1. Kill all Arabs.
    2. Kill all Muslims.
    3. Kill all Mohammedans.
    4. Kill all Towel Heads.
