Openfiler Storage Management Software GPL'd

An anonymous reader writes "According to an article on The Inquirer, a UK based company has set up a GPL'd Linux-based storage management project called Openfiler, and donated its code to it. There are some nice screenshots showing off its features. Apparently, the code itself will be available for download on 30th of October. There is a press release on the company's website. The concept of special purpose Linux distributions for enterprise applications seems to be picking up in recent years, with release of products from SuSE, Smoothwall and the like."

Why do all 'overlords' posts get modded funny?

[Ibag]

I realize this is offtopic, but bear with me.

The simpsons is a funny show. Well placed allusions to the simpsons can also be funny. However, every other thread I read has an allusion to the same stupid quote. Sometimes, the quote is well placed. For example, in this poll . However, most of the time it is just awkward and stupid. By saying "I, for one, welcome our new FreeBSD overlords" or "I, for one, welcome our new geneticly-engineered-to-be-rich-in-beta-carotine corn overlords," both the origanol quote and well placed references to it lose value.

We should not mod these posts as funny unless they really are. Think of the consequences. Think of the children! Would it not be nice if, years from now, they could find the quote funny instead of cliched?

Alas, I fear that my cries will go unheard, so I, for one, welcome our new unfunny overlord post overlords.

Never mind. It looks as if it got modded down from +3 to 0 while I was replying.
