  1. Why? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why do you post such interesting stories in the middle of the night? It's not like anyone will read them... Just giving up a bit for the insomniacs?

    --spiralx, posting anon. because I forgot my password.

  2. Alan Cox is free by CanadaDave · · Score: 2, Troll

    I'm just glad that Alan Cox doesn't have to look after it anymore. Now he can spend his time writing drivers and hacking away at the kernel source. As well as helping Redhat. He did good work maintaining 2.4.x but his talents could have been better spent elsewhere. Let's wish Marcello the best of luck.

    Most Brazillians swing both ways AC/DC. They are little more than mixed-race subhuman animals. They masturbate in public, even women. I'll never forget taking a city bus one day in Rio and some skanky mixed-race mulato had her hand up her skirt and she was clearly stimulating herself. Un-fucking-believable.

    And Brazillians are slobs. Attention to detail is not part of their psyche. They litter, piss, shit just about anywhere they can. It is not unusual to be walking through Rio and see someone in an alley squatting down taking a shit. And those animals don't even think it's unusual! They walk by people shitting in the street, "no problemo".
