    My pal went back to 9.1, because 10.0 was 'flaky', as he put it.

    Mandrake is just trying to trick people into thinking that it's OS X. It'll never work! Mandrake doesn't come with white spots!

    Slashdot was down so some geek finally had time to do the work necessary for this release. Thank you Slashdot for helping us out!

    Mandrake recently created a new category for their release called Community. The Community version has been well teste, and is supposely "good enough", but not "good enough" for production use. While this Official version is well... "better".

    The more I try to explain this the more confused I get. I think they should just differentiate their products like so:

    Mandrake DANGER-MIGHT-BLOWUP-EVERYTHING
    Mandrake IT-WORKS-ON-MY-MACHINE
    Mandrake GOOD-ENOUGH-TO-AVOID-LAWSUITS

    Millions of hackers around world seen doing work. Sighs of "is it back up again?" heard in cubicles around the nation. Bizarre trend starts around 5:15pm EST, ends by 6pm.

    In small backlash, office girls around the world report increase in bad flirting by guys with dorky hair cuts.

    Meanwhile, Microsoft Super-Secret Tracking Server Explodes. "It appears that everyone opened Minesweeper at once", claims Steve Ballmer, "and all those Windows machines 'phoning home' about the application launch was just too much for our server to take."

    "We were damn lucky that Solitaire launches are sent to a different tracking server", he added.
