Ask Rob Malda

We last interviewed CmdrTaco, along with Hemos, in January 2000. Slashdot's 10th anniversary seems like a good time to put Rob back on the hot seat. He's older now and married, his former hobby site now has well over one million registered user IDs, and Linux has gone from "upstart" operating system to a normal part of the IT landscape. So ask away, one question per post. Expect to see answers to at least 10 of the highest-moderated questions next week. And if you miss your chance to participate in this interview, don't worry. We'll probably do another one with CmdrTaco sometime between 2014 and 2017. CT: Also the clock is ticking if you want to sign up for a Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary party if you want a T-Shirt or a shot at the $1k ThinkGeek gift certificate.

Why Taco?

Caring

[1u3hr]

When did you stop caring if the articles had any relation to the truth? When did you decide that it was more important to have a funny "from the XXX department" line than bothering to spellcheck? When did you give up reading Slashdot?

Here's one...

Because you proposed to your wife on Slashdot, did she force you to consummate in an IRC chat room?

KDawson, you're a pathetic fuck

I like how you let the post sit at +5 all weekend so the people who want to make sure your loser ass gets fired stop paying attention, then you come in and mod it down sunday night so no one will have to answer the question.

You're a pathetic fucking loser dawson.

You think modding me troll makes you less pathetic

You're still a pathetic fucking loser dawson. Keep censoring people because you hate that they're right, while pretending you're anti censorship.
