    hey guys,

    i'm not sure exactly what i'm doing here. so...bear with me!

    i clicked "geeky" on my match.com personals profile, thinking that i'd maybe get hooked up with somebody who was into math or some kind of toy train hobby or something...boy howdy was i in for a shock! i went on 4 dates with guys who all got on match.com because of osdn personals from slash-dot! 4 guys!

    anyway, it didn't really work out with any of them, because it seemed like they were all under some kind of mind-control robot or something! i was like "what do you think about office? office 97 is enough for me, but there are some things about xp that are cool too...." the first guy i asked that to exploded on this tyrade about how office was evil, and that it uses html that's invalid...blah blah blah, whatever...i figured "ok, this guys a freak, but i'm not giving up that easily." so guy number two and i are having dinner, and just as a test i bring up office, and he says the *exact* *same* *things* the first guy said! it was like he was reading from a script! i'm thinking to myself "is everybody from slash-dot programmed to say the same thing or what?" i decided to do a bit of investigation.

    i actually surfed over to slash-dot and read some of the articles...mostly they were pretty boring, and the comments were just like i expected judging from my previous past experience: scripted!!! just when i was about to completely write the whole thing off, i found a post from some guy who's with anti-slash, some kind of anti-slash-dot website. i mailed him and was all "i so agree with you guys, look at what sheap these slash-dot people are!" he wrote back and made some funny comments (funny and so *true*!...that is soooo the best kind of humor...but i dirgress...) and guess what? this weekend i'm supposed to meet him for dinner :) if you're reading this, i look forward to meeting you in person, john!

    anyway, that's my story. ladies: if you're looking for the real cool geeks, check out anti-slash. and fellas, you should check it out too and maybe use to to break out of your mind-control suits!

    ok see ya later,

      Hahaha. This is great; it's either a troll because geeks don't get girls, or it's not a troll because the groupthink is true. Either way, Slashbots lose!

    Oh yeah, that's not a troll.. By your criteria, Solaris isn't a 'real UNIX' either.

    Yeah, a valid question for a lazy ass who didn't bother to read the article. I'm not even going to state what the article said, any nitwit who thinks that Solaris is somehow more unix than Linux/BSD and then asks a stupid question that is answered in the article, doesn't deserve an answer.

    from the article you pole climber: "This technology, like all the OS updates, will run on both Solaris for SPARC and Solaris x86." Next time, try reading it when you don't have a cock down your throat.

    Heh, at least BSD is a real OS. Spare a thought for those of us who for whatever reason use Windows.

    Even using gcc, and using cygwin to run all the usual autotools and so forth, we still run into problems with things like the assumption that the file system can distinguish between "Makefile" and "makefile" in the same directory. That's before all the usual problems with people assuming we're using glibc and so forth that you BSD-ites are also familiar with.
