Robin's Report From LWCE

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by timothy on Thursday January 23, 2003 @07:09AM from the how-are-the-tshirts dept.

For everyone who can't make it to New York, roblimo has posted impressions of LWCE's first day, in which he takes note of Start buttons, prods Dell about laptops factory loaded with Linux, and watches the Golden Penguin Bowl. I suppose he was also asking vendors some of your questions.

See, thats what you get for using the wrong distro. Booth Babes (tm) being non GPL are not avilible for download and can be found in binnary only form with licensed copies of Linux.

Robin: Holly Beowulf Clusters Batman! There's a start menu on that guys computer.
Batman: That's right my spandexed teen sidekick. It would seem evil is afoot. Start menus are found in windows, windows are something you look through, you also look through MySQL datasets, datasets like the list of blond jokes I downloaded this morning, jokes are like riddles. THE RIDDLER HAS INFILTRATED THE TRADE SHOW!

Wimp! You should be ashamed of yourself.

"I agree and am equally disgusted with this...most presentation and slide shows seem to be done w/powerpoint rather than soffice..perhaps a sign that linux still isnt easy enough for the avg person."
So who are you disgusted with?
- The average person (for being so thick)
- The open source effort (for not making the software easier)
- I'm not disgusted, you insensitive clod!
- Nobody; I'm just upset with the situation.

Why would your windows machine need a reset button?

And before you respond with the typical 'it freezes and crashes wah wah', stop and think the cause of the crashes/freezes could very well be because you've been trashing the filesystem when you cycle power on it like that.

ROFL... That's hilarious, Tarzan.

"Big business no care about the regular linux geek, they care only about the money. "

You just figured that out?

We want Linux to be a success - but we don't want businesses associated with it.

FreeBSD the next big success.. Hahaha..

Dude you need to bottle and sell that shit.
