Gentoo Founder on his way to Redmond
Rotworm writes "Recently former founder of Gentoo Linux, Daniel Robbins, has managed to procure employment with Microsoft. Robbins describes his position as "helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects." Seemingly there's no scandals as Robbins managed to finalize the transfer of all Gentoo's IP to the Gentoo Foundation, Inc."
Funny thing with the parent post. See, I'm doing a bit of research at present about /. . The stats can be found on SlashMash.com .
To generate these statistics one has to be pretty familiar with the system. That means reading posts all the time, trying to track different paterns, and I thought I've seen everything, until I'm seeing the FIRST POST MODED REDUNDANT.
I'm leaving to the public and to M2 to figure this one out.
BTW: Straight from the SlashMash code:
int iFirstPostRating = s.GetPostRating(0);
if (OFFTOPIC == iFirstPostRating
|| FLAMEBAIT == iFirstPostRating
|| TROLL == iFirstPostRating
|| REDUNDANT == iFirstPostRating)
But I never though I'll see the lastcondition fulfilled.
