Quirky Open Source Convention Photos
Lisa writes "I don't know if you've seen Julian (SuperSnail) Cash's amazing photos from last year's O'Reilly Open Source Convention ,
but they are worth checking out." Julian also took some pictures of the 2000 OSCON too. We figured since OSCON 2002 is almost upon us that this would be a fun thing to post.
Almost as much fun as stories posted twice!
I've run out of Vasoline!

How are things in the civilized world? You probably don't know who I am. That's
;).
okay. I'm here to inform you of my mission, what I've found, and what I hope to
teach all of you.
I work for the United Christians Food for Poor Kids Foundation, and let me tell
you, there's a lot of poor kids in Afghanistan. As in most countries in the
Middle East, most people are unemployed, and therefore poor. And where there's a
lot of poor people, UCFPKF is needed.
UCFPKF always has the latest in technology. In this instance, we had access to
some Pentium 4's(r) 2GHz. Obviously, we needed an operating system that could
handle the power of Intel's beast. Unfortunately, we didn't have any computer
experts on hand up to the task, so it was going to be trial and error.
We'd heard good things about Linux and its "ACL's". Little did we know of its
incompatibility with modern hardware. It didn't even support Token Ring
networking, the newest form of Ethernet(r), which we require to always keep
in contact between bases. Also, it didn't seem to use SSE optimizations, which
when processing food amounts, are also very important. Also, there were
homo-erotic implications in the structure of Linux, which is strictly
unallowable in a Christian organization such as ours.
The next obvious step was to install Windows. We hesitated because we knew that
it was common knowledge that Windows crashed incessantly. Our experience was
less than stellar. It also didn't support Token Ring networking. Security is
important in this region because many people try to steal food, but "Windows
2000" (which I hear didn't even come out in 2000) doesn't even allow you to
have seperate permissions. Once again, the SSE optimizations were not used.
I was in a situation that seemed impossible. The two most famous operating
systems had failed me. I walked around the base in a dazed stupor. What was I
going to do for our ultra-important network? A boy saw me pouting and sighing,
and asked me what was wrong. I said nothing, but we exchanged names, and little
did I know, that young Junis had a gift for computers.
Junis saw me the next day, slaving away at the sparse terminal that "Windows
2000" makes you type in. He asked what I was doing with that primitive OS. I
laughed and told him that I was doing inventory. He ran to his village, into his
hut, and pulled out a box I had never seen before. The box said "SCO Xenix" the
front. I had never seen or heard of this Xenix before. But I soon learned that
Junis was a computer genius.
All we had to do was put the Xenix CD into the computer, and everything worked
like magic (not the devil's magic... good magic:) ). Our Token Ring network
integrated flawlessly with it. And it even used SSE optimizations. Well, me and
Junis are now on a new mission. We're spreading the word. It might not be the
word of the lord, but then again, maybe it is
SCO Xenix: The Unix of Tomorrow.

It is a man stretching out his anus to about the size of a baseball, and flaunting it right in front of the camera! And also he has a large scrotum!

AC crapflood is score 1?
Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.
Quite boring I'd say. Those people don't seem to know how to party. Check out these pics from a finnish scene party. :)
I agree with this post.
Up until this point, I thought 'choad' was a huge lump of turd, usually found dangling ominously near someone's tonsils.
How wrong I was. Thank you, on by.
And so young ..! Why, she can't be more than fourteen years of age. Mmmm!
As a 'homosexual', I find this highly offensive - MODERATORS PLEASE MOD DOWN!
Shut your clit-licking mouth, you dirty girl fucker.
Dirty lecher. Have you bothered to register as a sex offender yet?
Oh, so you claim. Much as I would like to believe you indulge in the natural urges of mansex, there is no proof.
.. for all your claims of sucking off some normal veiny choads I see no evidence.
Your mangina remains untorn, your mouth is not a sewer of fresh salty jism
And what's worse, I saw you makin' out with that filthy whore-chick at that club the other week.
Bloody heteros, you're all the same.
Isn't there finally some sort of law against using "virii" (*barf*) as plural of "virus"?!
Yes, very funny "troll"! I am proud of who i am. I use linux as well, does that make all linux users gay? are all gay men linux users? huh? riddle me that hetroboy! hah!!
God damn bisexuals, you just can't trust them!
Don't know which damned way they're a-going to swing next, no!
Yeah, what about it? He's fixing his car, big deal.
Damn this is a slow news day today!
Its really irritating to click 'read the rest of this comment' only to find there's only one or two more lines anyway. Can't the thing be made a bit more intelligent and detect whether it's worth truncating a comment or not?

It's early, and trolls are running amok!
Someone should probably mod the parent down.
Unless that kind of stuff is actually considered funny around this time of the night.
Truly disturbing.
python -c "x='python -c %sx=%s; print x%%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))%s'; print x%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))"
You never thought this would happen would you?
Looks like the trolls have got them some mod points to spend.
How the hell am I going to explain that picture to my Sys Admin.
Arseholes.
Now that's irony. You are a troll but this guy is funny? Here's hoping some sane moderators correct this discrepancy and some equally sane meta-moderators penalize the guilty.
Cheers.
Okay, fine, viruxen then. Fscking spelling nazis.
Click here if you just like to click on shit.
I always thought a choad was the part between your nuts and your asshole! thanks, on by, for setting me straight. Mod parent up (+5, Informative) immediately!

Come on people, when laying out a page, don't hardcode the width of the [frames|table columns] - just because you run at 800x600 doesn't mean some of us don't run at 1600x1200, and vice-versa. I'd expect this from a Windows site (Window motto - "Everyone MUST do things just like I do!"), but from a site targeting OSS/FS?
