BSDs to be Merged

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-about-time dept.

A dæmon writes "According to Daily Daemon News and The FreeBSD Diary, NetBSD, FreeBSD and GNU/OpenBSD are to be merged. Read the full story here." This is a good thing since one of the two BSDs clearly sucked, and the other was clearly superior.

  1. April Fools ends at noon, right? by WatertonMan · · Score: 1, Insightful

    April Fools Day ends at noon. OR so I'd always been told. This story posted at 11:59 so I guess it'll be OK.

      obviously fake

      But everyday I read stuff and think "It's not April 1st, so it MUST be true".

      All day I've been reading stuff and thinking "Oh Fuck, I hope this isn't true". For the next week these things are going to really worry me.

      So I'm all in favour of obviously fake.

    you would think they might mix only a few fake ones in with the real stories, try to be sneaky. But then again, what they lack in quality, they make up for in quantity.

    On another note: The quality of posting hasn't changed. If anything, there is LESS trolling and flamebaiting, which makes you think that if they did this every day, the overall quality of posts would go up ;-)

    Its like Onion meets /. Oh, except Onion is actually funny sometimes.

    ...why didn't you submit a dozen or so more-clever hoaxes?

    If you did, please post them here so we can see what CmdrTaco passed over to rerun his "Evil Bits" stories.

    If your hoaxes are original, and superior in wit and imagination, you'll no-doubt get piles of Karma points and I will apologize for lack of faith in your inestimable mirthfulness.

    And if you can't post at least one original, and clearly wittier hoax, then it's pretty clear who the idiot really is.
