    Ipre-empted Linux with Windows. I doubt I'll ever return to the previous programming.

  4. Any Slashdot editors contribute to kernels? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have a question.

    Seeing that all the slashdot editors support kernel hacking and all, has anyone on the slashdot team ever contributed to the linux kernel? If so, link to proof?


    (God knows they probably have the time.....)

    Now, if anything, that's insightful.

    Nice PF quote.

  6. Has he never heard of Gnome 2.0? by Jonathan+Brown · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "I certainly think Linux is an excellent desktop system (both GNOME and KDE are quite mature) but I don't see huge strides here in the coming year."

    In my opinion Gnome 2.0 is the coming of age of the Linux desktop.

    Brazil is not a third world country. I bet there will be plenty of Brazilians ready to counter that point.

    A real third world country is a one where there is no food, water or electricity. Yet that does not mean that they should be excluded from the Linux hackerdom. We should bring them the stuff they're lacking in order to participate!

      Yes, Brazill is a third world country. A large percentage of their population does not have electricity or running water. Millions of Brazillians (i.e. black, ex-slave) live in extreme poverty. Only the rich in Brazill (like other all other third would countries) has a decent standard of living. You need to get your facts straight. Jared

    Please keep this up!

    This was a wakeup call for me. After seeing this abuse (YES! IT IS ABUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY AN APOLOGIST, MICHAEL!) I decided to take all my constructive discussion to K5 and start trolling /. on a daily basis.

    I'll consider stopping the day Michael gets fired.

    I havent been visiting slashdot because of its low quality and groupthink, and only jumped back over after I heard about this article.

    I just wanted to say that I think slashdot really sucks, and thats why I havent been here in over 8 months.
