Sun vs. OpenBSD?

Posted by chrisd on from the theo-doesn't-get-along-with-someone dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNet has an article up about OpenBSD trying to get documentation for Sun's UltraSparc-III processor. Basically Sun is giving them a bit of run around....There is some documentation available for the processor, but not enough to get things to boot."

      I'm not sure, myself. I just think it's funny :)

      But after Googling it, I came up with this:

      "In Soviet Russia, the channel changes YOU!" from www.the-fix.org

      I guess it was a response to a comment someone once made about changing the channel, and they just had some fun with it.

      The link to it is now dead, and even Google cache doesn't help.

      The world may never know...

      But I'll bet someone that reads Slashdot does.

  7. Slashdot needs a dupes section! by vadim_t · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    With so many of them it's time we make a full section for them. Since after so much complaining they don't seem to be going away any time soon maybe the solution would be just to make a section so that editors could move duplicated articles there.

    - Your mother thinking twice and not giving the coat hanger that final shove was wrong.

    Sun doesn't really care about your, or any "community". They care about business. When you actually get a job, maybe you'll understand Sun.

  9. Slashdot sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Everybody knows that, but let's count the ways...

    1. Broken moderation. Its sole purpose these days is to provide the janitors, with unlimited moderator points, a way to silence dissent and at the same time provide the Slashdot sheep a warm, fuzzy feeling that they're actually in charge by letting them to use their 5 moderator points now and then, every few months.

    2. Advertisements. Not just any banner ads but doubleclick's spy-ads and infuriating animated ads. "Subscribe to us and you'll get rid of them". Really? Do I get rid of ads like the ones in the Related Links-slashbox and articles that are nothing but ads. These days the janitors don't even seem to bother to hide this.

    3. Articles. Dupes, inane and - on some days - pure trollbait to maximize the page hits.

    4. Article submission queue. Selections are made apparently at random.
