Debian's Own SourceForge

rescdsk writes "Raphael Hertzog recently announced Alioth, a SourceForge installation dedicated for Debian use. All developers automatically have accounts, though anyone may get an account. Quoting the front page, the purpose of Alioth is multiple: to provide facilities to free software projects supported by Debian developers, to make it easier for non-Debian developers to contribute to projects initiated by Debian, and to support projects whose goal is to promote Debian or one of its derivatives. Go peer with great wonder!"

  1. Debian owes reparations by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Let's talk about something that really matters. My ancestors were forced into slavery and spent a lifetime tilling the soil and working for the white man. My enslaved ancestors and brothers spent a lifetime of work without pay all for the profit of the white man. It is about time that we, the African-Americans, that built this country, receive reparations for our hard work. The government, businesses, and the white man owe us trillions of dollars in unpaid reparations. Why spend money on Iraqis, Afghans, or other wronged people when there are people here that have never been properly compensated for their mistreatment. Check out this link for more information:

    Rectal Impaction Following Enema with Concrete Mix

    by Peter J. Stephens, M.D., and Mark L. Taff, M.D.
    from the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology 8(2):179-182, 1987.

    This article describes an unusual rectal foreign body resulting from homosexual anal erotic activities. The patient had used an enema containing a concrete mix which became impacted and required surgical removal. The use, abuse, and complications of enemas are reviewed.

    During the last 20 years, sexual habits have changed in western society. Homosexuals have shown an increasing interest in anal erotic practices, including the use of enemas for sexual enjoyment. We report a case of a klismaphiliac who had an impacted foreign body in his rectum followin an enema with a concrete mix.

    CASE REPORT

    A 20-year-old man presented to the emergency room complaining of rectal pain. A well-nourished, well-developed man without signs of intoxication was admitted in no apparent distress. Digital examination of the rectum revealed a stony hard mass. Abdominal plain films showed a vertically oriented, low-lying radiopaque object in the rectum. A spherical radiolucency was noted in the upper pole of the mass. A blood alcohol level was negative. No other drug testing was performed.

    Upon further questioning, the patient said that approximately 4 hrs earlier he and his boyfriend had been "fooling around." After stirring a batch of concrete mix, the patient laid on his back with his feet against the wall at a 45-degree angle while his boyfriend poured the mixture through a funnel into his rectum. After the concrete mass hardened, it became so painful that he sought medical care.

    Under general anesthesia, the anus was dilated and two Foley catheters were inserted alongside the rectal mass to relieve suction. A concrete case of the rectum was delivered without incident. The rectal mucosa was intact with a hyperemic and edematous appearance.

    The patient was kept overnight and discharged uneventfully the following morning. The attending physician recommended a psychiatric consultation, but the patient declined.

    PATHOLOGIC EXAMINATION

    Examination of the specimen revealed a perfect concrete cast of the rectum, measuring 12 X 7 X 5 cm and weighing 275 g. A thin layer of feces coated the surface and crevices. Grooves in the mass were consistent with rectal mucosal folds. A layer of concrete was chipped off the upper part of the specimen and revealed a white plastic ping-pong ball. This corresponded to the radiolucency observed in the abdominal x-ray.

      The best part is that they were "fooling around"

    A really free freshmeat alternative.
    Anyone noticed how it's becoming more and more close every day to non subscribed users? First ads, now unsubscribed users cannot sort search results and have ads _between_ results. While I'm perfectly ok with one banner ad, I find annoying to degrade a service just to force users to subscribe.
    People should pay to have more, not to avoid being taken away what they already had.
