    I hate TurboLinux. It's the kind of distro that gives Linux a bad name when some Windows moron installs it and decides Linux sucks because TurboLinux sucks.

    Have you ever noticed that the editors don't seem to edit the quoted text? I like that. I think they should take the best/first submission. Moreover, did you notice that the story was from a Japanese source? And that they "by/for" mistake is one easily made by someone who (probably) speaks more languages than you do? Did you have any trouble at all understanding the story? Would you prefer slashdot stories take another 8 hours to hit, so they can be vetted by an editor? Slashdot is ad hoc (both in the literal and colloquial sense of ad hoc...) news. If you want cleanly editted news, read ZDNet. Notice how they don't have as much variety or community?

    Just wondering.

    you are the most unfunny motherfucker on the face of the planet. I modded you down for being a drooling and syphillic donkey molester, but I decided to post and mock you instead.

    I dont' expect comedy incarnate on slashdot, but jesus fucking christ: zerowing humor? Still?

    I hope you get hit by a bus on your way home today.
