VA Linux Dropping "Linux" From Name
Several folks noted that VA is changing its name to "VA Software" to reflect the fact that they aren't a Linux company anymore. VA of course owns OSDN which runs various Linux and Open Source web sites including amusingly enough Linux.com. Can't say it matters much to me what they call the thing as long as they let us keep running Slashdot, but it really is sad knowing that most of the cool open source hackers no longer work there. My bad. Anyone have a link to the press release that doesn't require a login?
...didn't want to call it VA GNU/Linux.
I like you, Stuart. You're not like everyone else, here, at Slashdot.
VA.NET, of course.
Liberty in your lifetime
I am switching to a Visual Basic kernel and drivers immediately.
Thank you for saving me a lot of time wasted with Linux.
Source Developer's Network?
Dot instead of SlashDot?
Meat instead of Freshmeat?
Live to Code, Code to Live!
Dot instead of SlashDot?
no, it will be backslashDot (c)
The bill gates borg icon will get a stylish makeover and a heroic background to boot.

microsoftword.mp3 - it doesn't care that they're not words...
Saw this one coming.
Microsoft is dropping 'Micro' from their name...
...that all anti-VA posts, such as "Will they change their stock symbol" or "Who cares" have all been modded down as redundant?
:)
...that there are very few "Good idea, VA!" posts?
...that the very few "good idea"s that there are are modded up?
...that they're all biased?
...that CmdrTaco is the only one who seems to care and post articles about the OSDN?
...that adding "Now mod me down for being a troll" at the end gets about "+5, Funny" or "+3, Interesting"?
With saying that....
Mod me down for being a troll, just wanted to put these out...
