    You're one of those people that stops people laughing at a joke by admitting to some sick personal fetish at a party, aren't you? I can practically hear the humor being sucked out of the air while reading your post. I mean it's not often you see comedy that's more dead than Leno's Clinton jokes, but wow...you've managed to create a fucking rotting corpse here.

    Isn't slackware that thing for teenagers who just want to look cool and never develop anything, but instead spend all their time recompiling new kernals?

    and that's its failing. I used to love kde until they fouled it up with release. 4. That's when I switched to fedora core 12, now fc13 uses kde so I switched over to Ubuntu just today and WOW blown away really. It's the most polished human friendly awesome thing I've ever had the pleasure of using - the missing link of OS'

    But give a man Slackware, and he'll learn Linux.

    You misquoted, I think. It should probably be: Give a man Slackware, and he'll go right back to Microsoft. Good lord those were terrible experiences the two or three times I tried Slasckware. Granted, that was years ago, and I'm sure it's come a long way.

    Or: Give a man Linux Mint and he can get shit done without having to worry about learning every last detail about how and why his expensive tool occasionally works and usually doesn't work; it just works.

    It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality', which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to paedophilia.

    What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

    • Linus Torvalds is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
    • Richard M. Stallman, spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
    • Alan Cox is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

    I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

    Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

    As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

    And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

    Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

    'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

    Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

    We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and co

  10. What no release version of KOffice by salemboot · · Score: -1, Troll

    What really pissed me off with 13 was that Koffice was a freaking beta. Stable my ass. No spell check capabilities. Which shows Pat don't even use his own product. He's probably using Windows 7. I read somewhere in an interview he used XP.... Nothing new, Deb' Ian uses a Mac. Red Fedora Bob forgot his name, uses a Mac. Linus is probably using Windows. It wouldn't at all surprise me these guys doing the kernel development do so in VirtualBox. 10.2 was the last solid release of Slackware.
