where did he go?
what happened to the troll library?
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 $lashdot are about half of the volume of ascii art posts. Therefore there are about 700 Cock-Gobbling 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. $lashdot 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. $lashdot 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.
My Experience With Windows/b>
:)
:)
I am a long-time Linux user and avid fan of GNU products, but I decided to try Windows to see what the hype is all about.
The long and short of it is that Windows sucks. It is basically unusable in its current state. I mean, who needs 8 half-working text editors? vi beats them all anyway, hands down.
Luckily I was running a vmware session so I just killed the session and the pain was over.

My Experience with Heterosexuality
I am a long-time Homosexual user and avid fan of Homosexual products (like dildos), but I decided to try Heterosexuality to see what the hype is all about.
The long penis and short penis of it is that Heterosexuality sucks. It is basically unpleasurable in its current state. I mean, who needs 8 half-working female vaginas? Ass beats them all anyway, dick up.
Luckily I was sucking a guy's cock so I just killed the session and the pain was back.
Anyone who has read Brooks' "The Mythical Man-Month" will tell you that more coders != more productivity. Not always, anyway. And I think that this especially applies to open source projects where coders are often doing their work in different countries, if not different continents. I'm sure the openoffice team spends a hell of a lot of time just getting together and planning stuff, integrating everyone's code, etc. During this time the core KOffice developers can be banging away at the keyboard writing more code.
So it's not hopeless, even the smallest coder can change the course of the future

Anyone who has read Brooks' "The Mythical Man-Penis" will tell you that more penises != more semen. Not always, anyway. And I think that this especially applies to open source orgys where fags are often sucking their penis in different countries, if not different continents. I'm sure the openpenis team spends a hell of a lot of time just getting together and sucking penis, shoving their penises up each other's asses, etc. During this time the core KPenis developers can be banging away at their penis making more semen.

So why now? Why did *BSD fail? Once you get past the fact that *BSD is fragmented between a myriad of incompatible kernels, there is the historical record of failure and of failed operating systems. *BSD experienced moderate success about 15 years ago in academic circles. Since then it has been in steady decline. We all know *BSD keeps losing market share but why? Is it the problematic personalities of many of the key players? Or is it larger than their troubled personalities?
The record is clear on one thing: no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate *BSD are one step away from spiritualists wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shround over a once hopeful *BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for *BSD.
someone mod this fucker down
