    WTF? Can I go 3 articles without seeing something about Microsoft or Gates? Ever heard of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Does everyone on /. have it? You can't tell me there's no news out there that doesn't revolve around what Bill is up to or how MS should be treated. I think it's time to quit slashdot again for a few weeks and see if you people can't get a life. ;)

      Slashdot and Microsoft have a lot in common with the guys I came across in high school and college. They hated queers and constantly talked about them and joked about their sexual practices but if you asked them if they were gay they got all pissed off. Slashdot's that way with Microsoft, lately I've been wondering if I've been reading MSNBC's newsfeed rather than something about open source programming and operating systems with nerdly news peppered generously throughout.

    I'd sure love to see some figures supporting that claim. Also, as far as the elegant server thing goes, I don't think I want my server running a RAM-hog of a a GUI like that, thanks.
