Tux Can Even Milk Cows!

GuitarNeophyte writes "If you're a cow, you want to get milked when you want to get milked. And if you were a dairy farmer, you want to make your cow happy. So what do you do? Set up a machine that gives the cow control of its milking schedule. Oh yeah, of course, it runs on Linux. It identifies the cow, then finds the udders, milks the cow, cleans it's undercarriage, and lets it go."

    A tool for finding udders? I really do not want to see where this story ends up...

    What happens when a bull accidently wanders in?

    It will be a happy bull that wanders out.

    This is just slashdot trying to milk Linux's popularity.

    I wonder how many anonymous COWards we'll have posting for this one.

    Does the distro have cowsay preinstalled?

    Lots of mootivated developers contributed to the project.

    To code is human -- to milk bovine

    I call bull -- this is udder nonsense!
