Mandrake Appealing to Community, Again
An anonymous reader writes "It seems that MandrakeSoft's short-term financial problem is worse than was thought. A new page on the Mandrake web site says: 'Everyone who is concerned with the company's future is encouraged to read and distribute the following message. In order to reach the next release, MandrakeSoft currently needs to raise cash, and quickly complete the Increase of Capital.' Darn, and I thought they were almost over this hump. Looks like a good time to help recruit Mandrake supporters for the Club."
I am a 31 year old male virgin and I really, really need to lose my virginity this year. At this point I don't care if you're a guy or the world's skankiest geekette. If you are willing to finally make me a man, please reply to this post with your address. I'll fly over next week.
"Please help these needy software developers. Your donation can get a Linux developer a brand new system, a 100 gig SCSI drive, or maybe a clean t-shirt. For the cost of a Mountain Dew you can give a developer some Mountain Dew to develop trivial new Linux applications you might not ever use or understand. Is that too much to ask for a command-line driven utility?"
For each Linux developer you sponsor, you will recieve a 45K JPEG portrait, and a monthly email detailing his progress."
So, are you a guy or the world's skankiest geekette?
I paid £70 for the 8.1 PowerPack last christmas it was the most buggiest linux distro I ever seen!

Any way "Man-drake" sounds like gay slang!

Bring light beer, a big black rubber dildo, a copy of "Hardcore Gay Robot Beach Weekend 3" starring C-3P0, and plenty of KY. I'll be waiting in my best thongs, big boy...
I think it's best we look at Hollywood to answer this little problem. What happened when George Newman needed money to save his UHF station, U62? Why, he sold shares in the company.
Why should someone donate $50 or whatever to Mandrake and see the same benefit as the guy who donated nothing?
Now all they need is Stanley Spidowski's Word Processing program pre-installed as well as Conan the Librarian's File-Sharing client.
since the French love social assistance and subsidies and Vive La France and stuff like that.
The fact that this was modded +1 Informative has nearly cost me my bladder control and dignity.
Your courageous and selfless spelling corrections have made me a better person.
for Boston Harbor if we bail them out again?
Or a giant hat for the bail out hat trick?
if would be so cool if Red Hat bought Mandrake
Why don't they just download Mandrake for free?
Wow, the first literal karma whore.
