This just shows how biased Slashdot is towards Linux. Linux trails other operating systems in a poll that about three people will read and nobody will take seriously, and Slashdot jumps all over it as some type of anti-Linux conspiracy. This is the dumbest thing on Slashdot since that posting about Microsoft hiring Linux admins, and people thinking that Microsoft was trying to make their own Linux distribution. Wake up people. Linux isn't all that great, and Microsoft (or anything that isn't Linux) isn't all that evil. Now get the hell off my internet.
When a nuclear bomb hits, a human being is almost instantaniously turned to an unrecognizable ooze of fats and oils. Nerds are humans also. They are not immortal. This stuff really matters. If Russia returns to Communism, and nuclear war happens as a result of this, your nerdiness will not save you from a warhead. Neither will your Linux. Now get the hell off my internet.
>If the Chinese plan to track stealth planes by looking at radio and televesion waves, couldn't the U.S. purposely alter those signals to make it appear as though there were stealh bombers all over the place?
Only if they want the Chinese to bomb Hawaii and Alaska in response.
Debian BSD would have a great impact on FreeBSD users. Right now, as it is, we can download a program built on someone else's FreeBSD, pkg_add the program, and then run it without any problems. Another BSD distribution would bring the same problems the Linux community faces to FreeBSD. In Linux there are several different distributions. Therefore, a binary built on Redhat 6-glibc will not work on Slackware 4-libc5. Even the sources in some cases, won't compile on different Linux distributions.
