      there was a torrent out there, but it turns out it was just a pic of catherine zeta jones.

      Funny thing is the torrent is still going strong.

    I'm less amazed that Be's still alive than I am that you have a graphic for it.

    You could always start your own site if you don't want people to bitch about the poor editing. So here, take this nice cup of shut the fuck up and chug it.

  7. Summary by kahei · · Score: 3, Funny


    Some group of people struggle against all odds to produce (well, update) a whole modern independent OS free of Windows and Unix baggage.

    Slashdot responses summarized:

    --It's not free/Unix/OSX/real.
    --I already have Linux. Why should I care about anything else?
    --LOL BeOS is so dead!!11 pwned! noobz
    --I don't know what it is, I don't want to find out, and I don't like it.

    I think this provides a strong clue as to why human society has not yet attained a state of nirvana-like perfection and happiness :)

    BeOS / Zeta has a certain feel which cannot be benchmarked or reviewed, it can only be experienced. It's one of those mythical quantaties which stirs a type of passion which is missing in both Windows and Linux. It's weird, kind of like falling in love - for everyone else, the lady in question is but another female, yet once you've tasted the forbidden fruit, you love every aspect of her - her smell, her smile, her hair, her skin...
    Holy living fuck. I thought i was a geek.

    Great, now I don't know whether to install it, or fuck it.

    However, with that in mind, 99 Euros isn't that steep after all...
