unix.com Wins Domain Dispute
kyler writes "Apparently unix.com was able to afford the lawyers to fight off X/open from stealing their domain name in the wipo domain dispute.
If the domain unix.com doesn't violate the UNIX trademark, what gives them the right to take unix.net away from me and unix.org away from Michael? This is ludacris" We had the story about unix.org losing their battle so this is a Good Thing.
And I thought only slashdot moderators could make us laugh. ...
Thise are endeed ludacris spaling skillzzzzz
Just another example of the Slashdot editors not ..well.. editing. But that's okay, they can just silence you by modding you down.
how is this a troll? its called satire. Nailer was pointing out that you had spelled the artist rather than the word. Then the post below it that says the same thing is modded higher than than this one. wow

To declare war on Iraq would be the most stupid thing to do. Because :
1/ Iraq would use its nuclear weapons, just because of this, they don't have a good enough reason yet, don't give them one.
2/ What do you want to attain by that ? Replace Saddam ? with another one like him ? The USA has placed Saddam there HYPOCRITS
I wouldnt have even posted mine if i had seen that someone had done the exact same basic thing quicker than i did, while I hunt and pecked my link in for the pic.
His is far funnier than mine, it's got that urban flair that compliments the point we both hit upon. I wouldn't have been surprised to end up modded to redundant and him to +4 or 5 funny, but ya never can tell what's gonna happen i guess.
Um, sorry mods, but this post was funny, not a troll. You screwed up yet again. I have karma to burn so I feel free to say this openly.
STOP . AMERICA . NOW
One word - Americans. If it doesnt say `This is a satire` at the start, the poor darlings get confused.
Seriously, dude, if you can't spell "ludicrous", you don't deserve to have a domain.
Flamebait or Troll maybe.
Is it so hard to spell check?
If the editors are paid then they are viewed by the public as professionals.
It makes me wonder if the reason for VA's stock taking a nosedive is that investors saw this site and the unprofessional conduct of the operators and realized they were dealing with something that would never make a profit for them.
Who run Barter Town?
HOW can the parent be redundant? The mods obviously have NO IDEA to what the post is referring, and NO IDEA what they're doing.
That is ludacris!
Uinx wuold neva die!
I love moderators.
People, that aint a troll. There is a finger, it is saying "Fsck you, open group".
The parent stands true. Someone please underate it up thanks.
Think nothing is impossible? Try slamming a revolving door.
Uinx si sa daed sa und dornale.
Al tihs mispeeling si ludicrus!
Agreed - it IS true, not troll. Yesterday my joke was modded 'insightful'. Moderation isn't working, meta-moderation isn't weeking out the bad moderators - we need meta-meta-moderation to weed out the bad meta-moderators NOW!
try { do() || do_not(); } catch (JediException err) { yoda(err); }
Perhaps you did not notice the UID. I would say that this is definetly a troll.
oh, btw, yhbt. foad. hand.
Think about it. "quoth the poster" would be fine, because that is what the poster had, in fact, quoth. "blockquoth the poster" is not fine because it was not, in fact, blockquoth by the poster.
Do you see how it works? Do you? It's not that hard - I trust you will not do this again.
Missing question mark, "GUI" is not "words", it's an acronym, mixed singular and plural, "GUI" not quoted while being used in a quote context.
Are you some sort of retard?
Do the words "English Language" scare you or something?
"the poster" is the one that "blockquoted" not the person who posted the text that is being "blockquoted" so he is correct, and you are an idiot
Now "blockquoth" clearly means, by extrapolation, said in a blockquote. "blockquoth the poster" means that the poster (third person) said (in the past tense) whatever followed.
A brief look will show that the original poster (he of third person fame) had put nothing in a blockquote.
This means that if you are genuinely a different person, you are also an idiot, and that if you are the same poster pretending to be someone else then you, sir, are an extreme idiot.
