Slashdot Mirror
Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64
douglips writes "Yahoo News has the story. He's best remembered for the blunder of announcing that his next version of the Osborne portable computer was so much better, that nobody bought the current version and the company died quickly. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon."
I hate to waste my karma like that, as everyone knows it'll soon be worth more than US$, but damn, first again?
douglips, you are a God among men.
damn! maybe you should get a life?
cause I'm about to ruin, the image and style that you're used to...

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Suckas!
I'm a dead man, ain't I?
In that case:

I've lead a long and meaningless life.
You don't have to be Kreskin to predict trolls' future.
The hand writing is on the wall: trolls faces a
bleak future.
In fact there won't be any future at all for
trolls because trolls are dying.
Things are looking very bad for trolls.
As many of us are already aware, trolls continues
to reduce in numbers.
Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Troll leader ac states that there are 2000
trolls. How many usenet trolls are there?
Let's see. The number of Slashdot trolls versus
usenet trolls posts is roughly in
ratio of 5 to 1.
Therefore there are about 5000/5 = 1000 usenet
trolls post.
Usenet trolls posts are about half of the volume
of Slashdot trolls posts.
Therefore there are about 500 usenet trolls.
So there are only 1500 Slashdot trolls, compared
to the 3 bilion Internet users.
All major surveys show that trolls have steadily
decreased in numbers.
Trolls are very sick and its long term survival
prospects are very dim.
If trolls want survive at all it will be among
trolling hobbyists, Microsoft zealots,
and people with sick minds.
Trolls continues to decay. Nothing short of a
miracle could save it at this point in time.
For all practical purposes, trolls are dead.
Ya, I was holding out for the second season myself, but then once it came out I kept hearing how the first season was better. Oh well.
