Any psychiatrists? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-01-13 03:51 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I had a dream last night where I tried to install Debian Linux on an ant nest... is this a healthy sign? Thanks

  That's not healthy at all. NetBSD has a much better anthill port. Next time try that instead.

  Last night I dreamt of hiding in the woods from tanks and troops. It was a civil war, I think.

Seeing that, how is it possible for anyone to deny that BSD is dead: its' community comprised mostly of marginalised elitist malcontents?

Oh, btw, OS X is mach, not BSD: so don't go there.

Every time I go to a greek restaurant and hear "OPA!", it smells like someone evicerated a cow's bowels. Fried cheese smells EXACTLY like shit, I really want to know what it has in it that is so similar to feces to make it smell so damn bad.

You couldn't troll your own mother on your trollingest day even if you had some sort of electrified trolling machine. Annonymous Coward rules you all. He's the most erudite and prolific poster on slashdot. All you other little cabals can't even dream of measuring up to his Olympian standards. His sensuous trombone playing makes women swoon.

How about taking down some keywords when you post something and searching for them before you post yet another useless story for us to read?

A Tec 9 is a semi automatic pistol designed to look like a submachine gun, and due to Intratec's quality, it's more likely to injure the shooter than the target.

For a real submachine gun, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Definitions:from Hyperdictionary
Pistol:The smallest firearm used, intended to be fired from one hand, -- now of many patterns, and bearing a great variety of names.
Sub Machine Gun:a portable machine gun that typically uses pistol ammunition
Machine Gun:A rapid fire automatic rifle, usually mounted.
Assault Rifle:A rapid fire automatic rifle similar to a machine gun, but uses slightly shorter cartridges.
