    What a refreshing bit of news!

    Its about time somebody closed the code. All the bugs kept getting out and running wild. Fifty dollars seems like a fair price not having to put up with any more loose bugs.

      I wasn't talking crazy talk now... I just mean something like go spend the day on kuroshin or fark or something other than slashdot.

      Outside? Gods, that's... that's just... inconceivable.

    Do you remember him? Remember his harrowed tale of the afghani technology void? Remember how the editors looked like a bunch of absolute morons?

    THATs what a hoax is about, making the victims of said hoax look like fools. Thats what april fools day is about.

    Not telling stupid unfunny jokes.

    Face it. The trolls run this joint. You can't compete with them on their level. I mean, if "gnome is closed source!" and "evil bit!" are the best you got, well then just give it up and go back to your anti-america flamebaiting.

    This is so far fetched they could have said that the president has been replaced by a babbling ape and more people would believe it.

    ...so you're implying that hasn't already happened?
