Linux Counter Drops 90.000 Users
hta writes "Over the 7 years that the Linux Counter has been operative, a lot of people have registered who can no longer be verified.
We do not want to publish false data to the world. So we have to remove the data when it is too old, and have decided to give two grace periods." See below for more information - but go out and get counted!
- Two years for entries with an email that might be valid
- One year for entries without a valid email entry
Since there has not been any routine for this before, there is a backlog of almost 100.000 entries.
We have decided to pull the whole backlog at once on November 1.
After this date, the aged-out entries will not be included in the Linux Counter user count, and will not receive email notifications from the counter.
If you registered with the Linux Counter long ago, go over there and log in in order to make sure your entry stays counted."
Count me in.
Ok, whatever, guys.

and gets past the lameness filter...
Osama bin Laden believes he has successfully defined the terms of the conflict with the U.S.-led coalition as a battle for saving Islam, representatives of bin Laden's al Qaeda organization told CNN on Monday.
(I think he's wrong.)
I don't think many linuxers submitted their machine. I know i never heard of this counter
Isn't there a better way of doing things?
Maybe we could remind people to lay off just after the story is posted.
Maybe we could have a slashdot turnstile where you can wait in line to get into the site. The biggest problem I see is figuring out when people are have finished downloading.
only jews and accountants use 1,234 it is frowned upon by everyone else.
about this story, I think that zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. . .
Slashdotted. You shouldn't post your URL on Slashdot if your servers aren't up to it...
you like to shag Jay's courpse now, you fagot fuck
Will slashdot delete all those unused and bitchslapped troll accounts?
Why is it that people just instantly assume they can discriminate against bitchslapped accounts? Bitchslapped accounts are like normal accounts, but different. You need to work with them a little longer to get them to the point where they can talk to everyone else, but the feeling of satisfaction you get from working with the bitchslapped is well worth the effort. We need to become a more understanding society. Comments about throwing the bitchslapped away like household garbage really get me going.
How would you like it if you were bitchslapped and everyone started talking about throwing you away! Speaking as a heavily bitchslapped American, I can honestly say that my bitchslapping has made me a better person.
Shame on you.
Eggplants!
These guys might be able to help out
Just like they said in that Robert Altman film, "We must be doing something right, to last 200 years".
Fast forward to 2001. Rudolph Giuliani, the 44th President of the United States of America, is now a British Knight! This was just days after he called the I.R.A. and all other freedom fighters "terrorists" in front of the assembled U.N. Now those sneaky limeys have finally reigned in those Pilgrim "Terrorists" once and for all. We'd all better get used to the Union Jack, bad teeth, BSE, and heroin.
It's all a scam to force you into submission. "How dare you question the official line?".
After all, the US has economic interests to take advantage of in Afghanistan...
