LOTR Special Effects at OSCON
gnat writes "The IT Director for Weta Digital, Peter Jackson's company doing the digital effects for the Lord of the Rings movies, is keynoting at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. They use a ton of Linux and Perl."
FWIW I believe Hemos and I are speaking too, but I'm much more interested in
seeing this LotR thing.
I have some money to invest, and my friend told me to buy shares of LNUX. He says it is a visionary company with a great business model, and should be generating tons of revenue soon ($$$!!!).
He also told me they own this website, www.slashdot.com. He said there are lots of friendly people who can help me.
He said I should buy LNUX now because it is priced well, and should have great growth potential. In fact it is such a great price right now that I can buy over 100 shares! What do you all think?
Thanks in advance!

Yet Another Shameless Plug
DOWN WITH SLASHDOT. Up against the wall you socialist bastards. Keep your opinions to yourselves and just give us news you gimpy bitch editors.
On behalf of all the ACs in the house: Fuck you, buddy!
Lol.. you're on AOL, you fucking homosexual, you're so gay.

After we kill the Arabs we should move on to the Indians. Those smelly dirt bags are always hanging out in the computer lab talk smack about Americans in their foreign language and generally stinking up America. These idjits stink more than the Eurofags. I think they learnt it from the Brits. (If only we had enough foresite to let Europe destroy itself in the 40s)
I just registered Cereal Troller. Eat that cock sucker!
How is the parent a Troll? Some of you mods are such moronic Linux zealots that you don't realize that was a joke.
No she's just fat, retard. If anyone in my family tried to use AOL, I'd smack them and tell them to get a fucking clue.
OMG you must love anal sex. LOL. Please go back to your 15 and under gay chat room.
The UID isn't quite high enough to really fool people but it's close enough given the +1 posting karmic bonus, which shows a sense of patience and forbearance. However, the AOL reference almost spoiled it as too obvious, and the post could have been longer. A link to a page at http://*.aol.com/* which explains "netiquette" would have been especially helpful in mitigating the obvious AOL reference and certainly would have set you apart from the -1 riff-raff. Using quotes or other HTML 0.9 markup to denote the quoted material would have also increased your overall score slightly as well. In the end, the clincher was the replies you received, which are part and parcel to any good troll.
I give it a 7.3 out of 10 post-Siegel & Canter points. Well done, sir!

Ash and Hickory, straight-grained and true, make excellent bludgeons, dandy for the cudgeling of vegetarians.
If your conspiracy theories are true, then I think your FAQ addenum is dead on. I can't tell if its sarcasm, but I very literally agree with it's content.
"Old man yells at systemd"
I don't follow anything Hollywood, so I had to hit google to find out just who this megastar "Dan Piponi" was (and you didn't mention any of his films, as if I'm supposed to read the ending credits). Anyway, here is a very interesting message - this is Dan Piponi on the freebsd-chat mailing list explaining how they did The Matrix. This message is cool because (1) you can meet all sorts of interesting people on the Internet, (2) it shows that FreeBSD's mailing lists are excellent (even if they're a bit too high-volume to follow continuously) and (3) it shows how excellent FreeBSD's Linux binary compat is. I've never run accross a Linux binary that FreeBSD couldn't handle.
Yeah it is - got any idea how to stop a person who has a troll account from using all their five mod points (when they get them) to deliberately mod all your recent posts down?
