Apache Server Nears 2.0
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Apache httpd project has released a new beta of their apache 2.0 server (v32)". For those who have not been following the 2.0 development, this is the third beta that has been produced. The new version of Apache sports the new APR API and a new method for filtered I/O, and has been rewritten to make use of a hybrid thread/process model. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of 2.0, hopefully we will see a full release of the open source version in the near future.
See topic.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict the future of the Stinking sweaty Linux hippie. The hand writing is on the wall: Foul-stenched GNU hippies with swampy armpits face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for them because they are dying. Things are looking very bad for Hairy-backed GNU hippie. As many of us are already aware, they continue to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Troll leader Anonymouse Coward states that there are 7000 goatse.cx trolls. How many ascii art trolls are there? Let's see. The number of goatse.cx versus ascii art posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ascii art trolls. Pimply-faced GNU hippies posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of ascii art posts. Therefore there are about 700 Dirty GNU Hippies. A recent article put "first post" at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "first post" trolls. This is consistent with the number of first posts.
All major surveys show that Putrid smelling greasy GNU hippies have steadily declined in market share. Slashdot is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Grubby Smelly Linux Hippies are to survive at all it will be among troll hobbyist dabblers. Slashdot continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Dirty GNU Hippies are dead.
Klerck, You know that doesn't work, right? At least not in Opera or Mozilla or Netscape.
I am inspired by your FP dedication.
:) ).
BTW what kind of pr0n do you enjoy the most? I'm into straight one-on-one stuff mysef (I've given it up, but I used to dig it

Boo fucking hoo.
You care enough to whinge about it.
By the way, I normally don't take time out to actually post. But since my moderation and meta moderation privs were removed since i moderated a post I found intresting.. to be intresting. (The great slashdot troll investigation). About 500 people lost their moderation ability at that time. What a nice brave new world.
huh? link?
I must be living in a hole... Since when does moderating an unpopular post get your moderation rights/privs revoked? Which begs the question, is moderation a right or a privelage?
Here's the link.
As another person who lost mod privledges, it was just a massivly moderated by the editors thread. link already posted, but the loss of mod capability is in fact real.
I'll get modded down for this as well, just like you have. If you care about your karma don't respond.. it'll just go downhill.
Here is a link to the original post.
It had about 700 mods done to it I think, not sure of the exact number. It doesn't matter that I was blacklisted from moderating, because I wont anymore on slashdot even if I get it back or I'll abuse the system and mod trolls up. I tried to help out a discussion that I felt raised some very good and informative points, and it got me this. They can keep their moderation, and moderate everything themselves as far as I care.

Done. Perhaps this piece of news is something that each individual should have to discover for him- or herself though, hmm?
The goatse guy for president. Win one for the gaper!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Typical slashbot, busy opening my cakehole without bothering to think. Heh.
this place sure is a joke, i read the front page only and very rarely bother to read any posts anymore
The link to the story of the post of doom (from one of the ACs posting) is http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/1/17/21155/1564 .
Reading this and the folks getting themselves into a lather reminds me of how long I've been around slashdot, I'm starting to feel old.
Someday someone is going to give a tour of the seven wonders of slashdot, and this 800+ moderation point comment will be on that tour. Wonder what the other six might be.
The very first "First Post".
The very first Goatsex link.
The "will you..." poll.
...
I'd nominate the AC first post that got modded to +5 Funny and was on-topic.
My next sig will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush
What is it about a post like this (self pitying, resigned to being ignored) that forces people to mod it up? Is it a general agreement with his views, that this place is a joke? That can't be true (why are you all still here??). Is it the fact that you pity him for pitying himself? It seems to me that this guy is very pathetic, and points out the problems of the system at the same time as he takes advantage of its unique advantages (of course he takes these advantages for granted).
Perhaps it is because he fits in with the rest of you: he manages to spout mostly useless information about something he considers himself to be an expert, and surrounds his ideas in a thick wall of misspelled words and grammatical errors (yup, he must be a great coder, to be able to give such extensive criticisms of the experienced people at Apache!). Someone should perhaps tell him that an ellipsis has three periods, and a dictionary is just a few clicks away.
Perhaps he is against the system by default, and that's why he came here in the first place, but when it turned out that this place is just another system, he figured nothing good could come of it, and that power is being abused to suppress his (obviously flawless) ideas.
But the most likely situation, and I have noticed this in many other discussions, is that the statements "I don't care about karma," or "Everyone will mod me down for this" automatically guarantee that the comment will be rated at least a 4. What if it actually deserves to be modded down?
What if he just took a one time opportunity to vent his bitterness at the system that is holding him down? Must we all hear him? Mod me down if you will, but I will not be ignored.
Lack of eloquence does not denote lack of intelligence, though they often coincide.
Why does the color scheme change on some stories? Purple for Apache? Did /. always do that? Is there a way to disable it? What other stories have colors associated?
Guess I'll see....
I'm sick of the "I know this is gonna get me modded down buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut" posts that go on and on about the oppressive regime of Slashdot, and then the insipid moderators mod the lame post up to prove that they really do care, and that they really do have open minds (when nothing further from the truth could be said). Like a bunch of sheep being led by wordsmiths, these lie-ridden posts, like the super-parent to this one, become +5 Insightful to appease some twisted sense of guilt and/or ignorance.
I have to ask all the moderators of the super-parent: Do you know jack-shit about what was said in the post? Did you do any research at all about the topic? No, you don't and no, you didn't; so I must ask: Why did you mod the post up?
The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! w00t!
I remember when somebody snuck some javascript into his homepage field, that would redirect to goatse.cx on a mouseover. That was pretty fucking cool.
screw you niggers.
Exactly - Slashdot as we "knew" it is gone. I suppose I can't blame Rob, I'd be going nuts working on the same project for as long as he has. It doesn't matter if you post AC or not, they do log your IP. My previous post already has 5 mods done to it, I don't really care anymore.. I'm at my karma cap, let them kill it and nuke me. I don't care. I've been reading slashdot since before there were user accounts, and I've made mostly helpful contributions to the signal. I post when something I want to talk about comes up.
:)
The issue is moot at this point, but it's interested to see the feelings that still persist.
I've found FortKnox has a great journal - and he's setup his own site but I can't remember the URL and I'm too lazy/tired to look it up. Oops.. there goes more kkarma
