    after allowing/encouraging our owned domestic terrorist/payper liesense stock markup FraUD corepirate nazi softwar gangsters to attempt to take the whole wwworld as information/commerce hostages, to finance their greed/fear/ego based megalomania, it's not surprising that/how the wwworld is reacting.

    BusinessWeak(tm) should have been reporting the fleecing of america, as well as the poteNTshill for wwworld reaction, at least 5 years ago.

    lookout bullow. the ?pr? ?firms? are also preparing to 'outsource' the growing need for MiSleading hypenosys.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creator... get ready to lighten up.

    has anywon tried robbIE's gnu 'dating' service yet?

  2. A Theory behind UniteLinux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why is Bruce Perens starting UnitedLinux?

    We already have debian.

    Did Bruce Perens loose out on a consulting contract with RedHat?

    What does Mr. Perens stand to gain from this? Look at how he has acted in the past. Most everything he has done has been to enrich himself in some way. The community appears to come in second.

    Just a thought.

    Deep inside Slashdot headquarters, far beneath the icy wastes of the central USA, CmdrTaco floats in a vat of nutrient fluid, surrounded by barely ticking-over servers.

    Errm, pardon me, but who in holy hell are these UserLinux people and who's this Bruce Perens guy?
    Do I have to know them?
    Am I wrong or have these people not yet managed to roll out even the faintest resemblence of a Linux distro which, if it were there, would be nothing but a sad and sorry rippoff of the Debian project. No?
    As far as I can see from here there's nothing but a bunch of blockheads on mailing lists, webforums and slashdot generating nothing but a big heap of pointless media hype. Heavens, give us a break on people trying to generate by the most pointless of OSS discussions, KDE vs. GNOME.
    I want my 5 minutes back.

  6. Re:GNOME'S FILE DIALOG LOOKS LIKE NIGGER ASS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    A nigger ass looks almost the same as a human ass.

    I think the GNOME file dialogue looks more like a nigger face. In no way similar to what something proper should look like.

    What does that mean? Is he going to spin a small Italian car around and see what it points to? I've never heard the term "by fiat".

    BTW I guess since he lost his job at HP, he's had to clean himself up a bit. I guess he gave up on the Dr. Who lookalike style.
