    it would appear that ezine.daemonnews is also dead, what with it being unsupported by daemonnews (no new issues since march, etc).

    I don't expect anyone is going to rush out with an emergency ezine patch, however. :-P~

    this isn't news

    But that doesn't stop slashdot from posting it.

    News for nerds isn't news; stuff that matters doesn't matter.

    This patch seems useless. It updates only the OS and none of the software that comes with it? I know the solution to all windows user's update problems: #yum update

    If the editor[s] reviewing submissions aren't reading both the submission and the article in quick succession, then rejecting the less good combination and/or accepting the more better combination of the two, then, umm...?

    Is it some sort of Slashdot in-joke to mod an off-topic and uninteresting post as +5 Interesting? There's nothing about it in the Slashdot Wiki entry :\

    Don't forget us who are still stuck with an abacus from ancient Egypt! They have soooo many security issues.

    Don't confuse the words "deprecated" and "depreciated". You seem to be using the wrong one in your sig, although both might apply to things being discussed here.

    Hey Darl, what happened? Anti-slash mirror not working anymore?

    Oh I see. Karma whoring for your next stunt. Ha, ha.

    Actually, that was my own system, not anti-slash. And I only had hello in there for about 5 minutes -- it was a perfectly valid mirror after that. I just sat and watched moderators bat it up and down non-stop for over 12 hours after. It was glorious. :)
