Slash 2.2.0 Released
If you meander over to Slashcode, you will notice that Slash 2.2.0 has been released. This is of course the website engine that runs Slashdot. The release has the message system, improved journal functions, new comment filters, and countless bug fixes. And of course a variety of optimizations that continue to make it possible to serve a quantity of pages that no other open source package like this can even touch :) Plus it's way easier to install. Now that we've got the Fry tree out of the way, its off to work on Zoidberg (which will include subscriptions, killfiles, and a few surprises)
slash!
"More changes to stats report" Bug fix changes, or just changes? It'd be pretty nice if the changelog was a little more detailed. When there are a whopping 4 entries in it, you could give a little bit more detail.
who gives a shit, slashcode still fucking blows, and so do you CmdrTaco.
Gee, I sure hope the new slashcode has the same rock-solid reliability I've come to expect from this site.

John of Salisbury believed that rulers were given power from God (A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, thought to control some part of nature or reality), which labeled the prince as a likeness of divinity. Salisbury states that "Law is the gift of God", when law is attacked, God is as well. A prince should rule as his God would approve. Therefore, leaders who wish to diminish the law are symbolical of Lucifer (The profoundly evil adversary of God and humanity, often identified with the leader of the fallen angels; the Devil.). Salisbury believes that the prince, as the likeness of God "...is to be loved, worshipped, and cherished...". It must be concluded that the tyrant who wishes to negate all law to enslave the people, be slain, for he challenges the grace of God.
Niccolo Machiavelli held no belief of derivational gifts of power from God. Instead he focused on the reality of politics, the prince will use any means necessary to sustain his political power. Salisbury's religious foundation seems well, but it is impossible to maintain morality, sincerity, and humanity whilst in the position of a prince. Machiavelli writes that it is necessary for a prince "...to learn how not to be good, and to use this knowledge and to not use it, according to the necessity of the case." This is a more pragmatic view than Salisbury-a prince must be wary of all of the qualities he possesses, and must be willing to use them accordingly.
John of Salisbury's strong religious foundation had a place in Machiavelli's political thinking - religion is to be used as a tool to unite and foster obedience in the people, not to rule them.

I mean really, we've been looking at the same interface for years. Not that there's anything wrong with the current appearance, it's just time for a change.

Does it run on it?
I'd like to be able to put in an URL something like
5 &s tyle=light
...
http://slashdot.org/frontpage.pl?commentthresh=
and have it give me slashdot in 'light' format, with comments in the stories as 5 & over only.
The reason for this is that I want to get Slashdot on Avantgo, but obviously I have different viewing requierments on my Palm than I have on my desktop.
Is there any way of doing this with Slash 2.2?
I know there wasn't in the old Slash 1.x
I there any plans to stop this first post c##p in the code. I have not looked at the code, but i know there is some type of lameness filter.

There is only one upgrade that slashcode
really needs. This does not implement
that upgrade.
The neccesary upgrade is the compleate
cessation of the use of perl.

I want to be able to set my preferences to include stories that only appear in certain sub-categories (Science and Ask Slashdot) on the main page as if they were full-fledged main stories.
Here is something that sort of irks me. My karma is capped, not that it is important or anything... but get this...
I post a comment with a score of one. Four moderators come along and think that the comment ought to be at a five. Three more moderators come along and they think that it should be at a two. I just got screwed out of three points, when I really should have stayed at 50.
50 + 4 = 50 (karma cap)
50 - 3 = 47
I just lost three points when in reality I should have gained one. This sucks.

which will include subscriptions
Ok.. enough hinting at subscriptions. Lets get it out in the open. Looks like its a shoe-in, so tell us the current plan, please...
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
I'm still waiting for the option to recalculate the point value for articles based on my own preferences. I want funny to count as +0.
...Slash code has a variety of new improvements for users and administrators alike!
For example, the new SlashTag <goatsex>, which saves you the tedium of having to do all that HREF and HTTP:// stuff.

Taco, I've posted this before, but I will post it again. I would be willing to pay for an ad-free, subscription based NNTP gateway to slashdot. I think something in the range of $5-10 US / month or maybe $50 US for a whole year would be reasonable, as long as there aren't any ads and it works with GNUS. (I know GNUS has a /. backend, but it sucks, sorry. I don't want to worry about parsing html to get the content into GNUS.)
Think about it, cause there isn't anything else you could offer me that I would pay for.
This sig is false.
The option to not add +1 to your posts is broken. I've used it on another post, and it still came in as a score of 2 without moderation.
* Lose the lameness filter. It is lame. Why? Because it
:)
a) doesn't deter trolls but
b) does annoy legitimate posters.
* Separate karma moderation from comment moderation, eg. a plagiarizing post could be moderated interesting, yet the poster's karma could be modded down.
* Kill the CowboyNeal cop-out poll option. It hasn't been funny for, oh I dunno, about a year or so.
* Add year to (at least some of) the dates. Currently the only way to determine the year in which a given story or a post was made is to look at the URL, which is just plain dumb.
* Improve the search. Finer details of this left as an excersise.
* Add a link to stories that leads to the "daily issue" of Slashdot when the story appeared. Currently the only way to see the full Slashdot for a given day is, if I'm not mistaken, to keep clicking on the "yesterday's issue" link or hack the URL.
* Expand the hall of fame to cover more top stories, say 30 or so, ten is too little.
Other than that I'm pretty happy with Slashdot.
(I like the fact how users who aren't logged in don't see sigs anymore, the ability of the Slashdot crowd to generate good sigs AND UPDATE THEM has always been a bit, um, shitty.)
Wow. In just a few short years they'll have implemented....usenet!
Just kidding, I know there are differences. Still, an nntp gateway would allow people to use their own clients, and those killfiles.
I hope posting anonymously still works. We'll see real soon.
There are several different packages which are easier for individuals to configure. PHP Nuke comes to mind. Could anyone tell me how, or if, slashcode's difficult setup procedure is mitigated by administration or scalability?

Uh, oh. This is a serious problem.
If this comes through as anonymous, then it's something weird with Mozilla build 2001110610 (I just switched to my old Netscape 4.7 to test).
Of course, many have complained about Anonymous Cowards, but this certainly isn't the solution.
Could this be? slashdot effect on shashdot?
Snoozer.
This seems to be an issue with Mozilla. I was running build 2001110610 for Linux. It was apparently ignoring the check boxes when submitting the form.
That's a nasty bug.
Have the passwords for accounts been moved to a secure format yet? And along similar lines, what about password resets?
I remember that these were pending problems from a while ago.
How about comment editing capability??? There's nothing worse than posting a comment, even using preview, and realize you screwed it up somehow.
It might even be interesting to add a "previous version" capability. Just stick the message in some other dump table and have a different screen to dump them out.
The journals have editing capability, so I don't see why normal messages can't do the same.
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
Four suggestions -- three of which should be easy and the fourth is harder:
I mean there's been a perl mod for ispell for a long time now. How about incorporating it in? That would certainly help both users and administrators.

About the only reason I read Slashdot is for the troll posts, which are good for at least a few laughs per day. Some of these fuckers have me laughing outloud at work. So how about an option that allows anonymous AND logged-in users to view ONLY specific scores, including -1.
Oh, come on. I don't think that was really flamebait. After all, anyone whose account is old enough to have been granted the boon of mod points has certainly heard MySQL sputtering and choking at the other end of the browser when trying to access this site.

I'd like to see the score of an article at the time the moderation I'm metamoderating was done.
A slightly interesting post at +3 shouldn't be awarded yet another point, so in that case an 'interesting' moderation would be unfair.
Currently you only see the comment and think 'hey, interesting' and you'd M2 it as fair.
And please dump the over/underrated moderations. They're only used to dodge M2.
This is your sig. There are thousands more, but this one is yours.
I would like the ability to read the -1 posts only (all the other posts are crap).
I was thinking of that yesterday, but I forgot to mention it now!.. :) .. Then you would hold on to those points and only use them when it makes sense... Not for general discussion like this post.. :) .. Then you wouldn't be distracted by pointless +1 comments...

Um, but if somebody receives an NNTP stream even a paid one, there is no technical difficulty to create an NNTP server that rebroadcasts the news.
Maybe that's why.
Anyway has somebody actually done that converter? I remember that when Slash was formally published as usable Open Source there were people saying it was the first thing they'll contribute.

I don't know if you're using Java Script, but we'd run into problems with NS 6.1 (can't speak to Mozilla per se, but it's the same render engine, no?) if'n you ran onEvent handlers or had the JS reset form items for you.
Other times, even pages without event handlers would overlook any form element changes (checkboxes and radio buttons) that the user was making. Ugly stuff to debug.
Easy does it!

How about killing that 20 second timer? That's pretty lame...
And under certain browsers (*cringe*IE5.5*cringe), when you hit the back button, you've lost what you typed if you blow the 20 second filter.
I also think that adding a new story type "Poll" along the lines of Ask Slashdot would be nice (for user suggested polls).
Fascism starts when the efficiency of the government becomes more important than the rights of the people.
My only suggestion is that Microsoft has seemed to one-up slashdot on the Developers section, I think it should be titled "Developers, developers, developers, developers, developers" One better...

Here's a kinda new CMS:
siteseed.org
siteseed.com
The name's siteseed. It's backed by a webdevelopment company, Mr.Net, and some external coders. It's written in PHP.
You get the code, you can contribute. If you don't want to you don't need to, but hey, it's here, use it or don't. It's your call.
Some sites made using it:
http://www.portugaldiario.iol.pt
http://www.maisandebol.iol.pt
http://www.maisatletismo.iol.pt
http://www.culto.iol.pt
http://www.fra.pt
http://www.nec.pt
http://www.ieei.pt
http://www.netjobs.pt
http://pls.mrnet.pt -> this guy is like, the main code hacker in the thing. don't ask.
http://www.missprint.com
There's a mailing list also.
The code is lauzy, but nevermind, they are professionals so they don't have time to do good code. Just working one.
I'm not in the mood to a href the rest of the links.
Fear me cuz I'm an asshole.
In favor: I've used and enjoyed Slashdot for a very long time. I'm not concerned about privacy issues involving my email address, so that's not a worry for me. I know that a lot of hard work has been done to keep this service running for me to enjoy, and I know that the upkeep costs a lot. I know that the reality of the web is different now than it was.
Convincing, but against: I, and all the other posters, experts, flamers, trolls and etc. are what make Slashdot even basically interesting. The stories alone I can get anywhere -- it's the posts that are semi-interesting. When I pay for a subscription to Salon, I'm paying to get content I enjoy. If I were to pay for Slashdot, even just to get ride of ads, I feel like I'd be paying for something I help make happen.
All that said: I'll pay for Slashdot. The reason is that, all philosophical problems aside, I know that economic realities are forcing this thing in. I'll miss the free Slashdot, but even a subscriber-friendly Slashdot is better than no Slashdot at all (what would I *do* with my days?).
In return, I'd really, really like to see a more intelligent basis for story selection. I *miss* that Slashdot from three years ago where the stories were mostly tech-oriented and not just another excuse to flame Katz or diss Microsoft. I want to see real efforts to improve the signal to noise ratio without stomping on unpopular views (like moderation tends to). Maybe it's not possible to go back to that, but I'd like to see some effort made to try.
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
I believe that allowing posters to "opt out" of their +1 is moronic. The premise behind the bonus is that said poster generally posts good comments, so this one is probably good too. Now this either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, remove the +1. If it does, grant the +1 and get over it.
Allowing an option to "opt out" of the +1 is like an option that would allow you to "opt out" of being moderated up. The feature is down-right silly. Judging the quality of a post is not the job of the poster. It is the job of the community system and the moderators.
Just remove that option. It makes no sense.
Then we can use ordinary spammer software to crapflood the hell out of you!

So now we have to slashdot Slashcode?

Eu só conheço um site deste tipo mas penso que é um dos melhores (ou o melhor) neste género
www.movie-mistakes.com
É actualizado muito regularmente (foi actualizado ontem, Sábado, por exemplo).
Todavia, por vezes são descritos erros tão pequenos ou "ocultos" que se tornam dificeis de reparar mesmo pelos mais atentos. Por exemplo: A presença da equipa de filmagem no topo da barragem na cena que o Bond (Brosnan) salta (goldeneye).Vi a cena várias vezes e mesmo assim não me apercebo nitidamente da equipa.
Outras vezes este site vai ainda ao ponto de revelar incoerências ínfimas, como a presença de sinais de trânsito ou modelos de carros em cenas de filmes , supostamente passados 4/5 anos antes do aparecimento desses sinais ou modelos !!!!
Vale a pena passar por lá e dar uma olhada

Enable me to have separate comment viewing prefs for when I'm a moderator. Changing them back and forth is annoying. Plus then they could be set automatically to more socially responsible defaults.
If a comment below my threshold has a child which is above my threshold, I think that should be clearer; ideally, in between the visible grandparent and the visible child should be a link to the invisible parent.

Slash: Slash 2.2.0 Released
posted by pudge on Wednesday November 07, @11:36AM
[Slash] Slash 2.2.0 is released. This is the first major release of Slash since Slash 2.0.0 in May. There's lots of changed code and new features. Thanks a lot to our beta testers and contributors. Download it via HTTP or and FTP, and read the README and changelog.
We've already begun work on the next version of Slash, with new features and more fixes and small shiny objects. The new code is in the default "branch", while 2.2 is in "fry". Slash 2.2 will be only maintained for major bug fixes. Note that with each new version of Slash, we anticipate far fewer changes, so 2.4 will be a lot more like 2.2 than 2.2 is like 2.0.

Ask Slashcode: Two Level Apache/mod_perl Configuration

[Perl] Walke writes "I've been working on setting up a two level Apache configuration for Salmon, Broads & Beer, in anticipation of our usage going through the roof
After reading the mod_perl guide, I decided to try and use mod_proxy . However, all of the strategies seem to rely on being able to split up the static and dynamic traffic into different areas of the directory structure. The slashcode file layout doesn't seem to lend itself to big gains here. Will serving the "/images" folder from a static httpd really help performance? Or, are the gains all in the caching which mod_proxy provides?
Anyone have experience with any or all of the strategies in the guide? Is mod_proxy the right solution? How should static and dynamic traffic be separated?

Screw it. Be more like K5. If someone posts a goatse.cx ascii art (I know, probably old, but I haven't checked what the latest troll nonsense is in a while), bitchslap them. It's not fair? Who cares- we all hate each other here anyway.
I'd buy that for a dollar!

An easy way on the main page to scroll back through previous stories.
This could be as simple as an "Older stories..." link or as "complicated" as separators between days and something like a "Monday's stories" link.
If I miss a day or two, I always have to fiddle with the slashboxes to scroll back through the stories. This is a simple UI fix and would greatly increase usability.
Slash releases have the same naming schemes as the machines on my network at home! Bender (Sun SparcServer4) being my particular favourite.
Think about it, a user editable blacklist that blocks posts including certain urls (gouts.cx comes to mind). And a Bad User list, this one should be supplied by users themselves to prevent conspiracy stories.
How about the abillity to mod down every post that includes a link or reference to a known goat.cx mirror?
Sig you!
I would love to be able to view only -1 or only +5 or whatever, Its a pain to have to filter though all the positve crap to get to the good trolls.
www.microsoft.com is nice.
Thanks for that URL.
this is a cool site.
How about an autocache mechanism that retrieves linked-to pages (with size limits, depth limits, expirations, blah blah) and caches them for some period after the story is posted?
...the karma cap is removed.
"And like that
Nobody else has mentioned it, and it's my pet peeve, so I'll throw it in there -- I would love to have nice clean XHTML or XML that could be formatted with stylesheets (CSS or XSLT) on the client-side. Now that Mozilla is out there, this should be politically acceptable.
This could potentially reduce serverload quite a bit -- not only would you be spitting out far less bandwidth per page, but things like score filtering could be done on the clientside instead of requiring another roundtrip to the server.
You could even invent your own killfile, highlighting, light-mode, and score biasing schemes. Slashdot could use a default stylesheet, and then host user-submitted ones. Removing all the presentation goop would probably make NNTP/Gopher/whatever gateways easier to implement too. This would also have the positive aspect of pushing off most of the minor bitches back onto the userbase.
Whenever I hear the word 'Innovation', I reach for my pistol.
Reproduced for the terminaly lazy:
In order to make that usable, I'd have to pump my link depth to something like 4 in order to read the stories. Plus, for the first time in months, slashdot.org has stopped serving 403's to sync.avantgo.com, which basically killed it's usefulnes... (It was one of the first sites I tried to sync to my iPaq via AvantGo, and until today, everytime I tried, I'd get access denied errors reading it when I tried to sync.)
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.
An anonymous post by a logged-in user should be treated exactly the same as a regular post. It should include any +1 bonuses and affect karma. If only unregistered ACs were rated at 0, I'd have less qualms about missing something browsing at +1.
Last post!
How about Anon posters can only post after a story has been up on slashdot for a specific ammount of time? That would cutdown on trolls and such. Maybe those with negative karma should fall into that catagory too.
I am insulted, chagrined, annoyed, disturbed, perturbed, dismayed, aghast, and perhaps even indignant at this shocking act of arrogance, Mr. Taco! Shame on you, sir. Shame shame shame!
Slashcode seems to fall into the second camp. There doesn't seem to be a wide variety of people who have contributed, rather the credit is purely to CmdrTaco and friends.
Instead of doing all the work yourselves, why not have a todo list and let others make contributions to the project, rather than just implementing suggestions?
No, Thursday's out. How about never - is never good for you?

How do I get this to run on my IIS server? What is a tar or gzip file? Can I open them with Microsoft Office 2000?
Now Zoidbergs the popular one!
proper moderation for that should be : (score: -1, Troll; -1, blatent; +3 Funnee!)
any hope of someday doing away with cookies?
The karma and moderation points are useless, as far as I am concerned, but I do _sometimes_ agree with whoever puts the 'funny' tag on posts.
otherwise, keep up the good work

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
I think they fixed it... :)

I want to post at +3, why can't I do that?
That should be an "editorial" function?
I'm not too sure that I want the editors of a "community" discussion board bitchslapping nor abusing the in place moderation system.
I'm inclined to trust the moderation system to do its job. Of course, that could lead to the dreaded slashdot groupthink(tm) complete with goose-stepping, funny salutes and rallies with book burnings of MS Press books.
I mean this:
that was funny!
Instead of adding a space to the middle of long words, why not just add a <wbr> tag so that the browser can decide whether or not it needs to actually break the word at that spot?
There are too many times when someone posts a URL in a comment, and I can't simply cut & paste because the lame filter has put a space in the middle of it!
I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
i thought i remembered the idea of a skinnable slash being kicked around a while back, and that it would be in 2.0, but no sign of it anywhere. anyone know what happened to that? not the most useful of features, i know, but a nice hack. just curious...

I am not an expert on improving the scalability of web applications (especially those written in Perl, as is Slashcode), but, from what I read, I understand that Java generally scales much better, especially when it has been tweaked for that purpose. Recently, an open source discussion board (written in Java) appeared that its creators say is one of the most scalable on the planet: Jive. Even in Jive's old, version 1.24 form, it was so scalable that Sun Microsystems decided to use it as its main web discussion software, replacing discussion software that they had written themselves (in Java). Sun employee Eric Larson wrote (in article's last paragraph) that
Jive's developers swear that it can serve a million page views per day without a problem. On the other hand, Jive doesn't support the posting of news items in a manner similar to Slashcode. Maybe that's what Taco meant when he wrote "like this" (above). Of course, the open source developers at Meinds may decide to alter the Jive source to permit the posting of news items. Then Slashcode might have been bested in terms of features as well as scalability.

I'd really like to see an offensive language on/off switch added to the url so that i don't have to see score 0 posts with truely offensive text.
A '*' substitution would work.
"You are free to do anything with this code you want except license it under the GNU license or any license haveing anything to do with Richard Stallman"
Truely open source has no licensing restrictions because it's in the public domain.
So what is your point?

I would like to see Redundant be removed from at least meta-moderation, if not gull moderation. It is impossible to accurately see if a moderation of Redundant is Fair or not. You could go back at look at the original discussion, but that is a lot of work.

Not only is it *proper* HTML, it would allow me to go back to using iCab to read the site in Nested Mode.
I know it's iCab's fault for changing their rendering code, but for F's sake, can't we make this place a little more compliant?! I tried replacing the above tags on a long, nested (200+ comments), page, and it looked fine in 5 different browsers.
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
Regardless, you're right that Slashcode is the only package I know of that's been tested with the kind of load and range of attacks that Slashdot gets. I certainly wouldn't argue that it's proven that Scoop could do what Slashcode does, in terms of sheer numbers. That just hasn't been done. Maybe it could, maybe it couldn't, but we don't know for sure.
I do think feature-wise, Scoop kicks Slashcode's ass, but that's to be expected. :-)
PS: The previous defender of Scoop was hurstdog, who is our primary project manager now.

I've managed to bite, scratch, and claw my way up to 25 points, and it's a bit disappointing to find out (finally) that I have to make 40 or better to get that precious posting bonus.
After a couple of years of periodic karma whoring and ass-kissing, I have scored 50 points, but I can't find where to put in my initials. Anybody know? I'm still waiting for CmdrTaco to send me my prize, should be any day now! I hope it's a GameCube.
(Thankfully, this post should get me back down to 47 or so, so I have something to shoot for again! Life is good.)

Why would the karma cap need to be removed?
<a href="//slashdot.org/whatever.pl...">
So. w3m interprets this as http://slashdot.org/slashdot.org/whatever.pl. OK, it's probably valid html since it works correctly in Mozilla and friends. But still, I wonder why the fsck does such a convention exist in the first place. More importantly, what's the point of repeating the host name for local links?

But not at a measly 40 karma. When you get 2.147e9 karma points, you unlock the deadly 32nd chamber of slashdot, in which you gain unlimited moderation abilities and spiritual bliss. You do know how to break the 50 karma limit, right?

Right? If not, you better start reading
There are many paths to breaking the karma limit. In fact, the limit itself isn't a real limit at all, but your own mind restricting you from realizing your full potential. The obvious shortest path to breaking this limit is to fully realize this truth. Of course, this is easier said than done; it takes years of mental and physical training. I doubt you could manage it if you haven't even yet gotten 40 karma.
Another path to breaking the limit is to go back in the other direction. Negativity meets positivity when you roll over. Troll long and hard enough to drive your karma so low that it rolls over to an astoundingly high positive number.
Of course, these are only two of the infinite number of paths you can take to karmic bliss.

/. horde and moderators only mod up stories the sheep agree with", "Here goes all karma...", or "Oh well, I have karma to burn..." If you do I will mod you down to karma hell on every post you've ever made. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sometimes on /. it seems like (+5, Insightful) means only "This user doesn't feel confident that his opinion stands on its own and thus needs to end his posts by suggesting he would only be moderated down because his views are unpopular to the /. horde."

You have two choices on how to accumulate karma, the path of light and the path of dark, and millions of variations on the two.
If you want to go after karma the honest way, here are some hints.
* Post early. I can't stress this enough. Moderators browse at highest score first, so the only way to get noticed is to post early before a lot of people have been bumped up into the 4-5 range.
* Post content not crap. Don't just voice some uninformed opinion on something. If you catch a story early, before the site linked to is
* Don't reply to other posts, make a reply to the story. Moderators don't go through replies to other peoples comments as much as they see the parents.
* Use a good subject. Moderators notice funny titles; it gets you noticed.
* Use your +1 to your advantage. Get it in early and strike hard. But don't use it all of the time, or you might get modded down a lot.
* And don't let me catch you saying something like: "I know I will lose karma for this, but...", "I know this is an unpopular opinion with the
If you wish to take the dark side, ie karma whoring, start reading the slashdot underbelly of trolls. They will tell you how.
Good luck and enjoy the game. You have already lost.
This sig is false.
There is no Slashdot.
Mu.
Think about it, cause there isn't anything else you could offer me that I would pay for.
Christ, that's just begging for unfriendly comment.
I'd like to see an open submissions section, ie a singular section which users contribute and moderate stories. There's a lot of decent contributions that get dropped because an editor dosen't think its news in this section the slash users would decide, perhaps this could be made a subscription option or someting, to deter troll submissions.
The new "absolute" comment number seems to have stopped a lot of FPs, but it makes it a real pain to see if something is redundant when doing M2. Also, editing is not such a good idea, I would think. This is a web LOG for a reason.
SIG: HUP
(You beat me to it.) ... and you could generalize that, such that you could post at +2 but lose 2 points, etc. Posting at +4 would get your opinion voiced in a large comments thread but would quickly kill your karma. Especially if you get modded down.

I just saw it on a forum somewhere. Mighta even been crapdot.
The BSD crowd seems to have more of a utilitarian "because it works" attitude rather than the "because it's cool" attitude the linux crowd has, and I happen to like that better.
Note how the main things the BSD faction has been working on (and are known for) are serving and security, while the main thing the linux people have been working on over the last few years are toolkits and desktops.
