CowboyNeal is rising to the challenge of out-duping Zonk on the main page. The gloves are off. In this clash of titans, who will prevail? Zonk opens by fanning the irony flames with a data mining dupe. CowboyNeal replies with a Samba entry on a RMS theme. What will Zonk do? can you guess the next move?

Stay tuned for Slashdot's biggest show - THE DUPE WAR!

Yeah, but this article is licensed under the GPL v 3 !!!

So you can't listen to it using GPL v2 software like linux.

(... and there's bound to be some idiot^Wphb^Wastroturfer out there who is ready to spout off about how this is *really really really* the case and suggest we all avoid the "problems" of the "viral open sores GPL" by going to Windows ....)

He only adopted the GPL because of pressure from others and has never believed in it.
