  1. Eric Raymond: "Surprised by Five Figures?" by Zico · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Just had to point out a special milestone today for all long-time Slashdot readers. Since the price of VA Linux's stock closed at 78 cents today, Eric Raymond's original $41 million that he boasted to everyone here about has now fallen below $100,000. It now stands at $99,937.50.

  2. What a terribly stupid article. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There is absolutely NO reason for this to be a story or a post. There are no technical content in the paper. There are no real-life examples given for any of the concepts in the paper. There is nothing but the same pie-in-the-sky fluff that is banged out to justify some research.

    BORING! Christ, what a waste.
