Libranet 2.8 Review
TheMadPenguin writes "When I heard about Libranet 2.8 containing KDE 3.1 and kernel 2.4.20 in our forums, I just about fell out of the chair I was sitting in. As you all probably already know, Libranet is a Debian-based distro aimed toward the desktop user. Until now, I had never heard of a Debian release with all the newest goodies, but my world was about to get turned upside down. Read the full review with screenshots at MadPenguin.org."
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered trolling community when Slashdot confirmed that trolling market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all users. Coming on the heels of a recent Slashdot survey which plainly states that trolling has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Trolling is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent trolling comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict trolling's future. The hand writing is on the wall: trolling faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for trolling because trolling is dying. Things are looking very bad for trolling. As many of us are already aware, trolling continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Open source trolling is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core posters. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time troll developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: trolling is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Political troll leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of political trolling. How many users of feminist trolling are there? Let's see. The number of political troll versus feminist troll posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 feminist trollers. Homosexuality troll posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of feminist troll posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of homosexuality trolling. A recent article put open source trolling at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 open source troll users. This is consistent with the number of open source troll Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Slashdot, abysmal posts and so on, open source trolling went out of business and was taken over by war trollers who post another troubled troll entirely. Now war trolling is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that trolling has steadily declined in market share. Trolling is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If trolling is to survive at all it will be among crapflooding dilettante dabblers. Trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, trolling is dead.
Fact: Trolling is dying
Holy shit Batman! I nearly fell out of my chair because of a minor update to some minor Linux library! Tie me up and call me Nancy! What a vital piece of news!
fuck you, you are dumb.
I love the Matrix! I love CobboyNeal poll options! I love linux user-interfaces! I love Freedom-to-download-movies-and-music-I-don't-own! I hate the DMCA! I hate the RIAA! I hate M$/MicorocSpork/whtever the clever nickname today for moicrosoft is ! I hate HillaryRosen@kazaa I love to be an elite cracker/ spelling nazii WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Are you a fucking retard? You are not chatting. You do not need to use the expression "lol" in a fucking post.
When you are on the phone with your fat, loose-vagina, carbuncle ridden, brood-mother of a mother, do you say out-loud "ell oh ell" I found that statement humorous! You are an idiot.
Phil Hibbs? I doubt that is your real name. If it were your real name, I would say:
Phil Hibbs is a phony piece of shit, and a poor typist. He probably has a miniscule penis and has never touched a woman in his life.
Phil Hibbs has a micropenis!
By "LOL" you probably mean, "lick oral labia"
or perhaps, "I am a nigger-sex-slave."
The Linux community aren't exactly top of the pops in the corporate world, much in fact due to their rather immature birdlike mascot.
A smart move from the core developers, would be to adopt the Debian logo as the official Linux logo. It's both smart and well designed. At the same time, Debian is easily recognised by professionals to be the best distro of Linux. This would only be the start of a brand new image for Linux and the community as a whole.
Considering this, and the recent problems Linux have had with corporate penetration, I can't see why domain names like Mad Penguin are chosen. The only effect is to drive away potential serious customers.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
