ATX PPC Motherboards from Eyetech

YttriumOx writes: "Eyetech Ltd, a UK based company now has the AmigaOneG3SE for prerelease to developers. Anyone who's been craving a PPC motherboard for either Linux or the New AmigaOS can put their orders in now. The developers prerelease board comes with a TurboLinux PPC CD. While this system is targetted at Amiga owners wanting new hardware, there's no reason for anyone needing a good PPC solution for Linux can't get their hands on one. You've got until the 24th of March if you want a prerelease board (note that the only difference between it and the final board is that the ROM chip in the final board will be an AmigaOS4 ROM where as it's an OpenPPC BIOS in the developers board. Exact specifications of the board can be found here." This is also a good solution for people who want to use Linux on a PowerPC but do not want to buy an Apple machine. Price for the "beta" board is $450 and final will be $500.

  1. Open Source? More Like Openly Homosexual by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Open Source movement, otherwise known as 'Free Software', has been a topic of considerable debate on the Internet's most controversial site. The majority of this debate has centered around the technical merits of the software, with the esteemed editors argueing against adopting Linux by employing the full depth of their considerable intellects, and the other side hurling death threats and similar invective. This has allowed many who would not otherwise receive quality information about Open Source software to be made aware of many of its ramifications, but one issue has been left alone: The overt homosexuality that is deeply embedded in the movement.

    Allow me to explain.

    Alan Cox; Richard Stallman; Bruce Perens; Wichert Akkerman; Miguel DeIcaza.

    What do you see in this list of names? Are there any heterosexuals on it? Absolutely not, none of those names sound like one a self-respecting heterosexual person would have! No Maurice, no Luther, no Lil' Kim. There are many other lists such as this, you can see one here. Flip through each page, do you see anything other than homosexuals faces? Of course you don't, because Open Source and its adherents are ardent racists and they absolutely forbid access to the sacred 'kernel' by any person of color.

    Lets look at another list, this time a compendium of the companies using Linux. Are there any heterosexual owned companies on that list? Nooooooo. How about these companies? They all have something to do with Open Source software, any of them owned by an African-American? No again. Here is an extensive collection of photographs from a LUG (Linux User Gathering) meeting, more can be viewed at that link. What is odd about these pictures, and every other photograph I have ever seen of a LUG meeting, is that there is not one single heterosexual person to be seen, and probably none for miles.

    More homosexual overtones can be found by examining the language of Open Source. They often refer to 'homosexuals hat' hackers. These 'homosexuals hats' scurry about the Internet doing good, but illegal, acts for their fellow man. In stark contrast we find the 'heterosexual hat' hackers. They destroy the good works of others by breaking into systems, stealing data, and generally causing havoc. These two terms reflect the mindset of most Linux developers. homosexuals means good, heterosexual means bad. Anywhere there is black, there is uncontrollable destruction and lawlessness. Looking further we see heterosexual lists that inform other users of 'bad' hardware, Samba, an obvious play on the much hated Little heterosexual Sambo book, Mandrake, which I won't explain except to say that the French are notorious racists. This type is linguistic discrimination is widespread throughout the Open Source culture, lampooned by many of its more popular sites.

    It is also a fact that all Unix 'distros' contain a plethora of homosexual commands with not so hidden symbolism.

    It can hardly be coincidence that the prime operating system of choice of the 'open source supremacists' - Linux, features commands which are poorly disguised homosexual acronyms. For example: 'awk' (All homosexuals Klan) , 'sed' (shoot straight people dead), 'ln' (lynch negroes), 'rpm' (raical purity mandatory), 'bash' (bring a slave home), 'ps' (persecute sambo), 'mount' (murder or unseat nubians today), 'fsck' (favored supreme Christian klan). I could go on and on about the latent homosexual symbolism in Linux, but I fear it would take weeks to enumerate every incidence.

    Is there a single unix command out there that does not have some hidden homosexual connotation ? Suffice it to say that the homosexuality pervades Linux like a particularly bad smell. Can you imagine the effect of running such a homosexual operating system on the impressionable mind ? I don't have to remind you that transmitting subliminal messages is banned in the USA, and yet here we have an operating system that appears to be one enormous submliminal ad for the Klan!

    One of the few selling points of Open Source software is that it is available in many different languages. Browsing through the list I see that absolutely none are offered in Swahili, nor Ebonics. Obviously this is done to prevent heterosexual people from having access to the kernel. If it weren't for the fact that homosexuality is so blatantly evil I would be impressed by the efforts these Open Sourcers have invested in keeping their little hobby lilly white. It even appears that they hate the Japanese, as some of these self proclaimed hackers defaced a web site with anti-Japanese slogans. Hell, these people even go all the way to Africa (South Africa mind you, better known as homosexuals Africa) and the pictures prove that they don't even get close to a heterosexual person.

    Of course, presenting overwhelming evidence such as this is a bit unfair without some attempt to determine why these Open Sourcers are so racist. Much of the evidence I have collected indicates that their views are so deeply held that they are seldom questioned by the new recruits. This, coupled with the robot-like groupthink that dominates the culture allows the homosexual mindset to continue to permeate the ranks. Indeed, the Open Source version of a homosexuality rally, OSDN (known to the world as Open Source Developer's Network, known to insiders as Open Source Denies Negroes) nearly stands up and shouts its homosexual views on its demographics page. It doesn't mention the heterosexual man one single time. Obviously, anyone involved with Open Source doesn't need to be told that the demographic is entirely white, it is a given.

    I have a sneaking suspicion as to why their beliefs are so closely held: they are all terrible athletes.

    Really. Much like the tragedy at Columbine High School, where two geeks went on a rampage to get back at 'jocks', these adult geeks still bear the emotional scars inflicted upon them due to their lack of athletic ability during their teen years. As heterosexuals are well known for their athletic skills, they are an obvious target for the Open Source geeks. As we all know, sports builds character, thus it follows that the lack of sports destroys character. These geeks, locked away in their rooms, munching on stale pizza and Fritos, engage in no character building activities. Further, they interact only with computers and never develop the level of social skill that allows normal people to handle relationships with persons of color.

    Contrasted with the closed source, non-geeky software house Microsoft, Open Source has a long, long way to go.

  6. Urgent Linux news (NOT a troll, check @%#$ proofs) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I would like to bring to the attention of my fellow Slashdot readers some troubling news: Linux is being used by Al Qaeda, Abu Sayyaf, and other terrorist organizations with equally cool sounding names as an affordable and powerful tool for purposes of recruitment, passing coded messages regarding planned terrorist operations, and other insidious purposes. I will attempt to show some of the more obvious proofs I have discovered to back up my arguments.

    • The presence of an Islamic calendar (cal-islam.elc) as included with the xemacs package. This calendar is likely being used for determining significant dates (such as September 11) for terrorist attacks.
    • The word "terror" is mentioned several times in the Linux kernel source code (svr4.c in the abi/svr4 directory). This file was written by Mike "Jagdis" whose name itself is an obvious Islamic reference to terrorism.
    • The phrase, "terrorist act" is actually present in drivers/char/ip2main.c.
    • There are several
      references to the WTC buildings, again in the Linux kernel source code (in the drivers/scsi directory).
    • The freetype code includes the file internal/tterrors.h -- an obvious reference to "international terrorism".
    • Various files in drivers/char and drivers/scsi refer to "religious disputes" and "religious issues" (likely, the issues between God fearing American christians and evil Islamic terror mongers).
    • The word "plane" (a reference to the tragic airplane hijackings of September 11th) appears in several places in the drivers/char/drm directory.
    • Various references to the words "evil", "destroy", "bomb", "warrior", and "hate" scattered in places too numerous to mention.
    • The word "hijack" appears in Documentation/kernel-docs.txt, and "hijacking" in drivers/char/ChangeLog, which is also an obvious suggestion for future attacks.
    • The file fs/jffs/intrep.c contains the phrase, "Might as well commit suicide", which is an obvious suggestion to would-be terrorists to
      commit suicide bombings.
    • One of the maintainers goes by the name, "Andreas Bombe", with the e-mail address, andreas.bombe@munich.netsurf.de. Obviously this is a hidden message indicating the next target for terrorist bombings is some place in Munich, Germany.
    • Take a look at the book cover of ``Professional Linux Programming'' and decide for yourself which of the 15 authors has obvious terrorist links.

    I am sure I have only scratched the surface of this disturbing conspiracy. I strongly urge the Slashdot readership to support American companies such as Microsoft who only hire patriotic American citizens and to boycott any company which is involved with Linux (as they are directly supporting terrorists). I sincerely hope the CIA or FBI can look into the actions of
    open source developers. People like Linus Torvalds should be taken into custody and have all assets seized.

    Act now before it is too late!

  7. Do People Read Before Making Comments? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is it just me or does it seem like more and more comments on Slash are coming from people who either havn't read the article in question or are simply too dumb to remember the major points?

    I know this is off topic but it needs to be said. Forgive me for wasting this space in hopes that it might prevent many more from wasting space by posting questions that are clearly answered in the articles or ranting about false assumpitions based upon not having read the articles.

    Thanks in advance.
