    Why, oh why, don't they use CVS?

    I'm so sick of downloading 20MB+ packets every week.

    And before you tell me to use patches, let me tell you that I've never gotten a single patch to work. I don't know if they're drunk when they create those patches, but each one of them complains about missing files when I try to apply them.

    With CVS you don't have to wait for the latest release either. You can get a nightly build whenever you feel like it.

    Well, slashdot's STUPID code ate part of the patch, so screw it, keep on using 2.4.7. I can't deal with this shit.

    Why don't you guys fucking think? Give people with a decent amount of karma like myself some leeway in what they're fucking posting. I'm obviously not a troll, this is an old account with positive karma. Get off your lame asses and make this a decent site, instead of all this lame shit. What the hell do you fucks do all day? Click a few user submited stories to post, then scratch your asses the other 23 hours 55 minutes?

    This is your job. Try verifying a fucking story for once. Or learn proper fucking english. Or hire someone who can actually work on the BBS code who isn't a complete moron. And instead of bitching how slashdot needs more and bigger ads, why the fuck is VA paying, what, 5, 6, more? salaries for you assholes? This site could be run buy one guy part time. I realize you started it, but you've leeched off it long enough.

    And while you're at it, what retard designed the slashdot UI? I can't motherfucking belive there are sites out there using slashcode and it's clones for their own site. This site has the worst UI I've ever seen. No fucking joke. It's really fucking bad. Take a step back.

    Goodnight.

  18. FreeBSD does not have NTFS r/w support by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Really?

    NTFS Driver for FreeBSD This driver allows Windows NTFS partitions to be mounted by FreeBSD. Currently NTFS partitions can only be accessed in read-only mode, but plans are in the works for read/write access.

    http://www.freebsd.org/projects/

    Linux on the other hand, has wildly experimental read/write utilities that you can use. Unfortunately you have to:

    mount the ntfs rw
    write to it
    unmount it
    run a repair utility on it
    reboot to windows nt and make it 'fix' the errors

    But that seems to be more than FreeBSD can do.
    Maybe you can steal some code for your project from
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/
