    GNAA Announces responsibility for kernel backdoor GNAA Announces responsibility for kernel backdoor
    By Tim Copperfield
    Raleigh, NC - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was responsible for planting the "backdoor" inside the popular opensores operating system, Lunix (Stocks, Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative goat-see revealed that the mistery hacker who penetrated high-security defenses of the Lunix "source code" repository and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the kernel was indeed a full-time GNAA member.
    "This is serious," goat-see began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996. Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website, slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right into the Lunix kernel, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".
    Insertion of the GNAA backdoor came right between the consideration of Novell to buy out the entire Lunix Kernel programming team, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers working for Novell with the gay niggers developing Lunix kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting our next plans to add "backdoors" into the next favorite operating system, BeOS.

      Sorry your little goatse redirect link doesn't work because goatse.cx has been offline for 4 MONTHS you idiot.

      That was the most pathetic troll i've seen in a while. In fact, CNET posted an article about how dumb you are here.

    I'm sorry and I know I'll probably get called a troll for saying this, but the parent poster is just making shit up to get karma. It's pretty obvious that they're just falsifying benchmarks; there's not even a link, for God's sake!

    Manufacturer's demanding content changes is nothing new in the tech site community.

    Grammar checks, perhaps?

    Ah, quality site. Under the heatsink review section, "blow, suck" are used in the charts to describe positioning of fans. Apparently "exhaust" and "intake" are Big Words.

    The article on HardOCP is hilarious:

    Nobody likes a site that lies about a product just to suck up, right?

    These guys have become masters of doublespeak. Read any review and they consider "balanced" reviewing to mean "come up with some numbers to sell it, but whine about looks or included mounting hardware to seem balanced." Then there's the "whine about something, but then tell readers it isn't a big deal".

    Further- you can't have any "integrity" if you accept advertising dollars from companies who are selling the very product you're reviewing. Journalism 101- a course none of these bozos have ever attended.
