Ready?
If you don't like it... if you hate it so very much... don't read it. Bog off. Go the smeg away. Ye gods, why whinge on about how bad/. is and what a gimp Rob is? Why not just visit the other sites out there that offer what this site does and shut the hell up!?? I mean, I hate "Baywatch", so I just don't watch it. Is the concept of "if you don't like it don't go there" so vastly difficult to comprehend that you can't understand that if you no longer like the site you don't have to go to it?
Then again... what do I know? I'm going back to sculpting my earwax.
I would like to ask the owners of this "Red Hat Is Not Linux" site why they feel the need to do this? I mean, does that mean that Mandrake is not linux? Does that mean that/Suse/ is not linux? Well please, do tell, what is linux?
I agree that the "commercialization" of linux may one day be harmful to it as far as it's being a powerful and fully open OS. But that does not mean that simply because a company which produces a distro or some such to make money is no longer linux.
So what? So there are some companies which have chosen to only _support_ one distro of linux. How can we expect a "linux friendly" company to support all flavors of linux when it is open source and there can be so many subtle yet important differences between each distro? What do you suggest, standardization,?
Agreed, Red Hat should not be taken as "the" linux distrobution. But just because they have gone public or "sold out" or some such that they should not be considered linux. RH was the very first disro I ever tried, mainly because IMHO they were the first to try and draw in newbies and not treat them like morons. Not that I am not a moron, but I like to think that I can count all my toes without the need of a calculator.
But what do I know? I'm going back to knitting a sweater from my belly button lint...
I can say without any doubt that had I hot grits down my trousers and Natalie Portman on my lap I'd hardly manage to get anything in the least bit productive accomplished. Aside from a slight rash, perhaps, if the grits were undercooked.
How could the moderation system on/. be called censorship when you or I or any of our ever so entertaining Trolls may read or not read what they want? Besides the fact that Rob et all do not in fact "censor" but the/. readers have that pleasure. Personally, I never read anything below a 1, unless I want a good giggle and for some insane reason feel the need to see if anyone is pouring hot grits down their pants. But it is you and I who would be the censors of/. if you moderate as I do.
IMHO all those who wish to post idiocy and/or flame/. should be allowed to do so to their hearts content. But by the same token, I and others who generally have no intention to read it should be allowed to have a means not to.
But then again... what do I know. I'm going back to picking my nose.
I have just read an entire bit by Katz... and I (pretty much) agree with everything.

What you might consider asking them is if they intend to offer something similar for turning in preppie and jock kids who routinely abuse, rape, assault and otherwise make life miserable for their fellow students. Transgressions of such a repugnant nature happen every day and schools or administrators seem to be perfectly content to allow that to continue. But God/Gods/Allah/etc. forbid some student wear all black and listen to Agent Orange or The Sex Pistols!

Yes, but even if we do find "Earthlike" planets, and we manage to find our way to the stars, and actually find an advanced species, let's all face the fact that it is highly unlikely we will be welcome. More likely we'll be treated as the interstellar equivalent of a first time AOL user and face some massive interplanetary LART for simply being what we are: A species who may conquer time and space, but can't make a toupee that doesn't get big laughs.
I work for a company which makes most of it's revenue through internet advertising, and if you were/are averaging 1-1.5 million page views a month and only made US$20,000 a year... buddy... you was robbed!
What I have seen in about the last year is that the way to figure the price is to take how much you have made in advertising (your own efforts and third party) and multiply that by 4. So if you made a total of US$125k last year it would not be overpricing at $480k for a selling price. That would actually be a perfectly normal place to start the bidding process.
For an established website, where traffic is pretty much guaranteed simply because it already has a visitor base, what you are quoting is perfectly reasonable to ask. If you can keep maintaining it you are better off waiting or pushing for your price.
...at least, that is what the voices in my head say, and they're always right.
You're right. That link used to be part of a rather large series of pics. But from there I know that you can find quite an extensive and fun number of very spiffy pics.

Ahhhh yes. $400 for a hammer but the Pentagon would never even dream of wasting money. Not them.

"Speed Racer" was actually based on the 1968 movie "Speedway" starring Elvis Presley.

Yes, another useless piece of information that won't even get you a peg in Trivial Puruit
I'll shut up and go back to spray painting my wombat...
I prefer a higher authority, myself.

"Just because it seems like a good idea while drunk doesn't mean it will be a good idea when you are sober.... and find you're married to a man."
Errr... not that I'd know from personal experience, mind you.
I think I'll just shut up now and go back to shaving my goldfish.
