Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available
WHudson writes "Relevantive AG, a German consulting firm who recently completed a study on Linux usability, posted their results in English translation today. Bottom line: Linux nearly as easy to use as Windows XP, but the wording of system and program messages could use some more clarity."

New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.
GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.
"I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.
"This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.
macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"
After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.
If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

About S
hi, im new here, whats this site about?
Thanks for that link. Most informative and interesting, I must say.
a tubgirl link is informative and the first post is redundant.
That site makes some compelling arguments. It's a rather well done piece, I'm surprised I haven't seen it on the front page of /. yet.
However, I have to disagree with their assessment of Windows Update; its usability suffers heavily from having to reboot multiple times between updates. When I upgraded media player I couldn't include any other updates with it, and ended up having to reboot 3 times during the update process. New users would probably check everything and click ok without reading the warning, thinking all the other updates were in when they really aren't.
This isn't flamebait. If he replaced the word KDE with Windows it would have been modded to +5 informative. What he said was totally true, to the point, and informative.
It's been a while since I've heard someone scream out "World domination" on slashdot. Oh well.... WORLD DOMINATION!!
I'm gobsmacked!
The best SCO post ever!!!
Im an IT Technician, and Im certainly not Microshaft biggot, but my experiences of Linux have only been difficult to say the least.
Flame me if you will and bring out the troll beating sticks, but I would love to use Linux, I love the free software and open source ethos, hell, apart from Windows XP itself, all of my software is freeware/open source/whatever (Mozilla, OpenOffice, etc. etc.) but I have tried, and failed.
I want an OS that works, out of the box, with MY system. Windows does this for me. Linux (so far as I have tried) does not.
Suse, RedHat, Debian, Slackware, FreeBSD, Gnoppix??? Which one, and why should I use it? Ive seen enough flame wars out there to simply confuse me for life.
KDE or Gnome? I dont know?! Bluecurve? What the hell?
I tried RedHat on a recommendation. After installation, did it work with my ADSL modem? No. Did Windows XP work with it, yes. And at the moment, its little things like that that make the choice clear cut for me.
Ok, Im not going to go on and make myself look like a troll. As Ive said, Id love to use Linux, but Im all for an easy life, and my computer is a tool that I use to get my work done, and as such I want to switch it on and it just plain work. Currently only Windows is doing this for me.
So many trolls... so few mod points
Amazing how they all come out with tales of woe with this or that picky hardware... or bemoan that it's just too subtly different... when the task is the same and just about everything can be done with similar methods they moan about this little bit being in a different menu label or that terminology being different...
