      Yes it is. 1) Can't happen. GPL guarantees stuff like this couldn't.

      2) It's April fool's day. Trust us.

      3) Oh, by the way, did you hear about that IPv4 header bit???

    Just a point here. While it's true that /. posted a link to an April Fools joke, the joke itself is GnomeMeeting's. The *BSD merger is the same thing.

    So in its own way, /. isn't actually playing ANY April Fool's jokes--they're just going about their business as usual, and the rest of the world is providing the material.

  3. Only 1 joke by slashdot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    stop complaining about all the april fool jokes. There isn't much serious news today anyway (no company would do a press release today) and besides that, all the newsitem jokes are NOT made up by slashdot but they're just linked stories. The only april fools joke by slashdot is the evil bit one.

    I have never seen such a bunch of humorless, callous scabs. Even for one day you can't drop the whiney, elitist, socialist dogma and have a laugh. I can't believe some of you are actually seriously criticizing Taco over the duplicate post joke. It was a little self-deprecating humor. It was cute. Laugh, you self-absorbed, soulless, pedantic nerd-bots. You people are probably the kind of irritating dweebs who fidget constantly and correct people's English as they speak. Your idea of a joke is to torture and maim those who cause you to only slightly deviate from your daily routine, and those who deviate in any way from your New World Design.

    Loosen up, you pinko-fascist dorks. The bullies who picked on you in high school are long gone, or have forgotten about you. You don't have to exact your revenge on the world any longer. And don't try to hide your inner psychological torment over Taco's marriage. You are all frustrated, for there is no Kathleen Fent in your empty, meaningless lives. You are jealous because she has taken Taco's full attention away from you. Admit it, your plans for molding CmdrTaco into your socialist-programmed agent of evil (with the proper TCP bit set) are in shambles.

    Give it up and join the human race. And drive an SUV to get there, we don't have the time to wait while putter along in your hybrid vegetable oil/fish flatulent green-mobile.
