    In what appears to be another technology industry layoff, the (in)famous Cmdr Taco of Slashdot fame was fired today. According to sources within OSDN, the continuous spelling errors, Freudian slips and dyslexia-like juxtapositions of company names led to the dismissal.

    Cmdr Taco was quoted as "being disappointed" with the decision, but was "looking forward" to spending more time at home with his computer.

    In related news, OSDN has banned drugs, alcohol, controlled substances and Cowboy Neal from the Slashdot campus.

      That's kinda mean. It's funny too, I know its just a playful ribbing, but I'm thankful that this thing exists for free. I spend maybe an hour-ish every other day or so here, and for what I am paying, I think its a good deal. So I counterbalance in that I appreciate this project.
