Open-Source Pioneers Make Bid for .org
wdb writes: "A NY Times article (free subscription required) describes the competition surrounding control of the .org domain, which Verisign coughed up in order to keep .com and .net from going to the highest bidder. Open source and Internet pioneers Paul Vixie and Carl Malamud have entered the fray; central to their bid is their announced intent to place all the software necessary to manage a TLD in the public domain. 'This shouldn't be a dot-com opportunity,' Mr. Malamud said. 'There has been a lot of smoke and mirrors, but what we need is actually a public utility that is well managed in the public interest.'"
Doh!, Oh dear, I spooged myself
Ray, Taco shoves it up his bum
Me, Jon Katz, I love myself
Far- out gay porn makes me cum
Sew, my gaping anus closed
La, french faggot anal pr0n
Tea, a drink with Rohypnol!
That will bring us back to doh oh-oh-oh!
Oh yeah my bitches
You made a little bit of a name for yourself in the Open Source community by producing desktop tiles (note the correct spelling). But now you're just a fucking wash up. You can't program, and you seem to have run out of new ideas for tiles. No one cares about your opinion, for you are about as valuable to this community as CmdrTaco, or ESR. Go back to felching RMS, asshole.
Oh well, back to dowloading pr0n...

That shit was funny!
Hello, I'm Dr. Kent Hovind, head Creation researcher at the Institute of Creation Science. I recently funded an extensive statistical survey of approximately 20,000 Slashdot users. My team of Christian programmers wrote proprietary Pearl code (the only Godly computer language; Lenny Wall, its author, is a Christian) that extracted email addresses from users' comments over a four-month period, and e-mailed them a simple questionaire.
The results are astonishing.
Among the 20,000 users surveyed:
74% are Atheists
95% are Evolutionists
83% are Communists ("open source" software users)
67% (!!) are Homosexuals (including 6 editors)
Just curious why the NYT insists on spelling it "Icann". It's a set of initials and therefore should be spelled "ICANN". Odd that a publication as prestigious as the New York Times would make a 3rd-grade spelling error.

how the fuck did this get moded up?
You must be really, really new to the internet.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?!
/.-ers fix some of my small errors and continue to flog this....this....fool
I usually don't post in these, I just read them, but this is incredible. First of all, you are, indeed ignorant. I first noticed this flaw in you when you said "I'm a first year programming student at an Ivy League school and I've just finished my Visual Basic classes." WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT COLLEGE you went to! Secondly they aren't called "GLASSES" but are called "Classes"! At this point in your little post Im almost choking, but I read on...and it actually got worse!
Now, I could be wrong about this next part, but I seriously doubt it. C++ WAS NOT one of the first languages ever to be developed. it DID NOT predate assembly. Also C++ WAS NOT around before C. It is called C++ because it was based of the C language and augmented to suit todays needs. Also, your story on why it was named C++, again, total bullshit. The developer of C did not just name it 'c'. He first called his language 'A', but after many changes he called it 'B', but still it was unstable finally when he got to language 'C' it was usable.

wtf... your a damn good troll, I must say
nothing to see here, move along
we love your work egg troll!
you're a fucking retard. shut the fuck up you fat, disgusting troll.
Don't forget one important advantage of this new fangled C thing is the buffer overflow. This makes it possible for users to execute code as root whenever they need to thanks to these overflows. If all your daemons where written in C++ using the STL or even in that old crusty Java crap then how could your users execute code as root!? you would have to give the root password to each of them personally, what a pain! And then what if some anonymous friend on the internet wants to initiate a DoS attack or perhaps send out loads of spam or warez from your server? Instead of having to bother you with e-mails asking for access he simply has to take advantage of one of these convenient overflows. Now some people will say the best programmers will leave out these overflows. But that's silly, look at the history of any daemon they all have had this convenient feature at one time or another. For instance the security experts who write the secure shell or ssh are always sure to leave in one of these remote overflows so that everyone can take advantage of encrypted terminals! It really is snazy! Java and C++ lack this important feature and pretty much cements the fact that they will always be toy languages. When you can't take a chance of not having buffer overflows you must use C! It's the best way!
