Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One
Several people have submitted news from SANE 2004 that a car crash involving several Free Software developers has killed one and injured two others. Richard Stallman was in the car earlier but apparently had been dropped off prior to the accident.
Who cares?
Bill Gates was spotted leaving the area of the SANE conference...
If you can't even drive a fricken car after staying up all night "getting your hack on" then I can only imagine how shitty your eurohippy welfare code must be.
A nerd dies in a car accident.
Big fuckin' deal.
Did these guys actually code anything worth while?
the user moderators need to get a kick in their pants. there were no prior comments and it gets moderated as redundant twice! at least be brave and call it flame bait like someone else did. and no, its not redundant or flamebait. i like microsoft. THERE I SAID IT!. But we all know that comment was going to be made sometime, so I made it first.
This is where metamoderators can give people a kick in the shins for abusing moderating privileges.
No one seems to care when America drops 500 pound bombs on residential neighborhoods in Iraq.
Maybe you meant they were WHITE people who spend their massive amounts of 1st world leisure time tinkering with expensive computer equipment so they matter...unlike poor brown people who get in they way of your oil conquest.
Deepest sympathies of course - but I cant help but wonder could this have been a failed attempt by Microsoft to assainate a key member of the open source community ? Probably not , but could they engineer such a plot and get away with it?
Offtopic! Ha ha ha ha... Oh my!
Stallman's disgusting greasy unrestrained mass destroyed the suspension in the automobile being used, causing the accident. It was indeed his fault. If only he didn't eat those twinkies.
No not jokes but sick fantasies from sick shits who should be banned from this plane of existence not just Slashdot. It's people like them who fly planes into buildings and enjoy the death of innocents.
Saying Apple is better than MS is like saying Botulism is better than rabies.
Death is part of life. Do you mourn every person who dies somewhere in the world? No, you couldn't care less because you don't know them. I don't know any of the people mentioned personally and their death (or not) is irrelevant to me. Will their loss be felt? Not even a little bit, I suggest you get a bit of perspective into your life.
Government of the people, by corporate executives, for corporate profits.
Hah!!
Many open sores projects are struggling to keep their projects running becuase no one is willing to donate to them.
Open sores zealots are a bunch of jewish cheapskates. If it wasn't for companies like IBM, open sores would be 10 years in the past.
if Richard Stallman was in the car and was killed.
So, what will you do for your fun when all the forums in the world die because you and your ilk persist in making them unpleasant places to be? Would you just vastly prefer that people not try to gather in large groups and communicate with one another?
Need a Python, C++, Unix, Linux develop
It's terrible that someone died, and my condolences to the family, but...
Wouldn't it be awesome if Free/Open source people started having real gang warfare? Raw raps, drive by shootings, the works! Hell, they could even pick up teh fly bitchez.
Damn... they let stallman off too early... that would have solved a lot of the stench problems at various linux shows that he inhabits (oh i meant gnu linu.. oh wait.. no forget it)
No, you are poorer because you are a free software code monkey living in your parents' basement.
On the other hand, I tell jokes because I am insensitive asshole.
It's too bad they didn't take out RMS.
Allah,
Lo, the infidel has died in a car crash. Praise Allah! Your will is great, your power divine. Let the earth shake before you, and let the infidels tremble in fear before the one true faith.
Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!
