SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping
MobyTurbo writes "Well, it's technically a day late, but SuSE Linux 8.0 is now shipping. The increase from 7.3 to 8.0 is due to the inclusion of KDE 3.0, a SuSE-modified kernel version 2.4.18 (with Andre's VM), an improved firewall, among other packages that have been upgraded or added. (Including a couple of new games. :-) )"
The Meta$lashdot Discussion is now only a memory. This make good sense because if there is no activity on a discussion for 2 weeks the discussion is deleted. But I posted a comment on 2/13 at 11:42am. I was questioning, in that comment, why $lashdot (which is anti-M$) was running ads for VS.NET? There were no replies. I didn't even think twice about looking for it yesterday, but I thought it looked strange... here is how it shows up on my list:
:
0 553

Do you notice what is wrong? What is the comment attached to? (HINT: It should be the Meta $lashdot Discussion) Now try viewing the comment, it's not there...Where is it? Email CmdrTacoand ask him to query for CID 3000553 on his database.
By the way, I'll try not to post with this account for a few days so that this comment stays on my comments list so that I have proof that I am telling the truth. Look at my comments
UPDATE: Here is a copy of an email from our good buddy Rob Malda:

"Rob \"CmdrTaco\" Malda"

Looks like a bug to me.

UPDATE: Shortly after posting this journal entry, I was banned.
