Red Hat Explains ArsDigita Purchase
hezron writes "Red Hat VP, Howard Jacobson, sent a mass email explaining their acquisition of ArsDigita's assets. Here is the press release concerning the acquisition." The press release is actually a quick FAQ about the purchase - Howard does a good job of explaining the purchase and the reasons for it. Howard's a smart guy, and I hope that the purchase of AD will mean a longer life then how AD's past management was handling it.
Frist Psot?
Now if they'd just get Phil back.

Now Red Hat is spamming us.
Today I received a letter in my mailbox. It said "Gas Bill". And I thought that was an excellent idea.
Feline pooping!
Howard's a smart guy, and I hope that the purchase of AD will mean a longer life then how AD's past management was handling it.
Let's assume first that "then," above, should read "than." Now let's parse the sentence.
Howard's a smart guy... Okay, Howard is smart. Good. ...and I hope that... Expressing desire. Good. ...the purchase of AD will mean a longer life... Defining the expressed desire. ...th[a]n how AD's past management was handling it. So we're hoping for a longer life than 'the way in which ArsDigita was being managed previously?' This is like saying, "I'm hoping for more money than how a duck quacks" or "I'm hoping for more anal sex than how poorly Hemos writes." Please learn to write, for feck's sake. The meaning comes across, but YOU WRITE FOR A LIVING. Jaysus.

Quick hint... if you're going to troll try to be funny, insightful, or intelligent. If you're not even going to hit the mark on ONE of those three points, don't bother.
If you need to interpret my post, then you don't get it.
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
W. Shakespeare

Maybe you shouldn't bother, smarty pants--"impart" is a transitive verb and you seem to have forgotten the direct object. ;)

Another third-grade grammar rule is to put a hyphen between "third" and "grade" in this case. From The American Heritage® Book of English Usage : "Numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine and adjective compounds with a numerical first element (whether spelled out or written in figures) are hyphenated: twenty-one, thirty-first, second-rate movie, third-story window, three-dimensional figure, six-sided polygon, ten-thousand-year-old bones, 13-piece band, 19th-century novel, decades-old newspapers."
Congratulations, you've managed to make the exact same obvious joke that has been made every other time ArsDigita has been mentioned on /.

Of course - and I got a couple points karma out of it. I thought everyone had signed up for that franchise? :-)
