Newest Mandrake Linux Delayed
Jens Lönn writes: "Linux seller MandrakeSoft has had to delay shipment of its newest version of Linux because of problems in moving manufacturing to the United States. Mandrake Linux 8.1 is available as a download, but the first CDs of the product were supposed to ship by the end of September. "Getting 8.1 production up and running in North America has been a slow and expensive process," the company said in a e-mail message to those who have ordered the CD." Since Mandrake makes certains things so easy (smooth installation), I hope they soon get their newest release again on Walmart shelves across the U.S.
Wait for the signal! All prisoners will be released!

Many shubs and zools knew what it was to roast in the depths of the Sloar on that day I can tell you!
RThe way things are going, I'm surprised anyone is looking at moving tech activity INTO the USA. It has to be one of the most hostile legal environments in the world in which to engage in such activities, apart North Korea or China perhaps. Actually, China doesn't have a law stating that all network operators have to store all "routing and addressing information" (RIP and BGP updates, HTTP URL requests, SMTP headers... everything), in perpetuity, in case law enforcement needs it "one day". Personally I'd already decided against visiting a friend in Hawaii: after Sklyarov, it's just too dangerous. Is anyone organising an official boycott?
I think I am going to run around the office with my pants off today. Usually I do wear pants whilst running around the office. Here are some other funny things that I do in the office (I know that this is old and that I have posted it before):
10. Keep telling the same person that they have bad breath even if they don't, and then punch them in the face.
9. Announce in a meeting that you have AIDS. After everyone gives you the sympathy remarks, tell everyone how you were just kidding and tell them that they are all a bunch of fucking queers.
8. Before a meeting, fill your mouth with custard. Then during a meeting, put one finger in the air and make like you are hocking up a big loogie. Then spit the custard into a clear glass and hand it to the person next to you and say, "Beat That"
7. Inform a male-coworker that he "wouldn't make a good hooker." Then piss in his coffee and tell him that he needs a good ass fucking.
6. Always walk around with a big smile on your face and keep one hand down your pants.
5. Answer every question asked to you with "Fuck if I know" then call the person a racial slur that doesn't even match their race.
4. Brag about the fact that you own a gun, and keep playing with your balls. Get them really sweaty, and then walk around shaking everyone's hand.
3. Shit on the floor in your office and when someone comes in and sees it, tell them its the fake plastic kind. When they try to pick it up, and realize that their hand is full of shit, laugh at that point.
2. Run down the hall with your dick out while pissing all over and yell, "it won't stop! God help me! It won't stop!" Then when it stops, look down and say "Oh."
1. Ask to borrow someone's pen. Bring it to the bathroom and stick it up your ass. Return it and tell the person to smell it. When they tell you that it smells bad, be like "It should! I had it in my ass!"
I believe RedHat have the same problems, since RedHat 7.2 has been ready (even on the mirrors) for some time now, but they will not distibute it (ie. add the everyone-read bit to the file permissions) until they have the CDs ready.
The RedHat 7.2 relase is available trough rsync ....

Gets a low score, because they couldn't punch their way out of it.
this is a test to see if your bullitin board works
how about the fact that you go to the store to buy free software, then pay sales tax on that free software.
What the fuck is with you idiots and adequacy.org. What is the point of trolling on a site full of trolls?
