Last Word on ADTI Document

kris writes "Linux and Main's Anthony Awtrey put together a very nice analysis of the ADTI "Opening the Open Source Debate" paper before and after the temporary retraction. He came up with some interesting research of just why the paper adressed specific examples such as the FAA and exposes the FUD behind the FUD in the paper."

    I am a dull and simple geek
    Cannot tell Linux from XP

    And when I jerk off to hentai at night
    I dream I could flame like Michael Sims
    Drive James and Seth to lunacy
    And take their website and claim I'm stalked

    Karma Cap
    (with apologies to Mike Ness)

    Well it's been two years and two thousand posts and look at the mess I'm in
    A broken heart and an empty journal, an excess of anal skin -
    Well I stew and I cook, on my broken down powerbook
    And I say about slashdot, that it's not worth another look.

    Take away, take away, take away this Karma cap
    Well I'm lonely and I'm tired, and I can't read any more crap
    Take away, take away, oh my patience surely will snap
    Take away, take away, take away - take away this Karma cap

    Well I've searched and I've searched, to find the perfect troll
    On physics facts or profane shit, or refusal to pay the slashdot toll
    But to talk sense on slashdot is to teach a pig to sing -
    You can post all day long, and not say anything.

    Take away, take away, take away this Karma cap
    Well I'm sick and I'm tired, and I can't post any more crap
    Take away, take away, oh will Kathleen sit on my lap?
    Take away, take away, take away - take away this Karma cap

    Well I passed the bar on the way to my dingy hidden sid
    I spent all my money - so did LNUX, soon it's delisted
    Will I wake up on the Blacklist, or with a Subnet Ban instead?
    You don't have to be Kreskin - it's a fact, I'm already dead.

    Take away, take away, take away this Karma cap
    Well I'm lonely and I'm tired, and I can't post any more crap
    Take away, take away, well I do deserve a bitchslap
    Take away, take away, take away - take away this Karma cap!

  6. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
