  1. Linux looking to buy BSD Chick - BSD refuses. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD! Hell this girl should be a model!

    Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. Don't you wish the guy in this pic was you? Are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Wouldn't this just make your Christmas?! Yes doctor, this uber babe definitely gets my pulse racing! Oh how I envy the lucky girl in this shot! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Wouldn't this be more liklely to influence your choice of OS?

    With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!

    Don't be a fag! Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

    The dazed minions of slashdot see anything about microsoft, immediately imagine some improbable nefarious end, and anoint this as true. My theory is at least half of the people reading slashdot were actually killed by the disintigrating Mir space station, and taken to morgues trying to save money on enbalming fluid by substituting worschestier sauce.

      Worshestier sauce is too expensive, so we use soysauce as a substitute instead. With the money we saved on enbalming fluid alone, I was able to buy a third carribean island mansion with hot naked bitches!

      nobody thought I'd amount to shit as mortician, but I sure proved them wrong! Ever since I bought off this russian guy to alter Mirs re-entry vector... I've been living high on the hog!

  6. Why isn't *this* story on Slashdot? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    http://cryptome.org/dncsec-yahoo.htm

    In an attempt to muzzle me about the massive security problems I found at the DNC convention site, the government has pressured Yahoo to shutdown my TSCM-L security mailing list, and has had them delete my archive of thousands of messages which is read daily by over 1000 subscribers.

    The List has been on Yahoo for six years, is over ten years old, and there was no warning of any sort given before they did this.

    Subscribers to the list are not being allowed to post, and as the list moderator I have been locked out from approving messages, posting messages, or communicating in any way with the list membership.

    The list mission and charter can be found at:

    http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TSCM-L/?yg ui d=118830581

    Curiously, the list or group itself still exists, it's just that I, the moderators, and the other list members have been muzzled.

    I have repeatedly contacted Yahoo on this matter, and have not yet obtained a response in any form from them.

    It looks like the government is trying to muzzle me...

    Welcome to John Ashcroft's and Tom Ridge's vision of America.
