    They already upgraded the builtin editor.

    Notepad is much better than Edlin, don't you agree?

    You're personally offended by a site that exists to promote a particular product? It sure doesn't take much.

    By the looks of their front page it doesn't seem like an unabashed fansite for Windows like this one is for Linux. They have a list of all of the known security vulnerabilities in Windows. Funny how I never see any articles like that here.

    Yes, they also managed to resurrect him for a music video I saw on MTV recently where he played an infomercial host.

    Somebody needs to chase him down with a wooden stake.

    SlashWhore Platform Goals
    This section summarizes a typical SlashWhore's key goals for the combination of moderation and replies.

    Cut and Paste operation:
    Using links found in the Slashdot article, a karma whore will copy the information verbatim, despite it being easier to click the link than wade through two and a half fuckloads of comments.

    SlashWhoring fundamentals
    Post early and post often. Follow classic karma whores like FortKnox, Signal 11, and the related lemmings.

    SlashWhoring has robot like simplicity
    It is really a 'Control-C Control-V" operation. How much fucking easier can it get?

    SlashWhore - SlashWhore integration
    If your fellow SlashWhores fail to post trite and pedanitic information, help them by pasting the entire article, or copying the content to your own server and scream "MIRROR HERE".

    SlashWhoring is the preferred Slashdot entertainment device.
    Moderators are fucking gullable dolts when it comes to this. They tend to reward disgustingly blatant SlashWhoring with a deluge of points. To protect the interests of the first SlashWhore, all subsequent wannabe whores are bitchslapped.
