Torvalds tells all... by Trolligula · 2001-10-10 05:19 · Score: -1, Offtopic

The Register is reporting that being a flaming homosexual is now an official religion in the Slashdot authors community after the 2001 census conducted earlier this year. The final number of 'Anal Terrorists' has not been confirmed yet as only about 95% of the census forms have been returned. As you could probably imagine, VA Linux is none too pleased. Apparently though, you can't get fined for ramming your man root into the Ass Crevice of your local Slashdot author." Actually, according to the story, this gives the Ass Pirate much more official status than heterosexuality would have if everyone put that down.

You're saying this about someone who released Linux under the GPL? Isn't the GPL a request for other people to offer their good ideas?
