What is that supposed to mean? Are you implying that mandrake is somehow less useful because it's easier to install?
Oh wait, I get it, if mandrake doesn't install package A out of the can and debian does, then debian is obviously superior nevermind the fact you could download the source/rpm/tarball in less than 10 seconds and install it on ANY distro.
As far as slack goes, you've never used it but you heard all the configuration is done by hand and you have to *gasp* compile your own programs. Well gee if that's the case then it MUST be superior to mandrake because we all know there is a correlation between difficulty of use and overall system power.
Apologetic "supporters" do nothing for the cause, go take your inferiority complex elsewhere.
The problem is that while your suggestion seems to make sense, from a different point of view it could be considered extortion; you are trying to thumbscrew SCD into letting you in on the cash. In a way this is true. You really have to look at it from all perspectives. As many others have said, it's probably best just to walk away.
I wouldn't really expect a hardware monkey to understand the ins and outs of business expendatures. I guess any purchase other than Geforce 3s and Plextor 12x CDRs qualifies as "stupid shit" to you huh?
Don't bother trying to explain the difference between "being a jerk", "being criminal", and "strong business savvy". While it is well thought out reasoning that makes perfect sense, all the Bill Gates haters on slashdot aren't interested in recognizing that difference.
If only it were about clear "facts" and not simply that you are a disagreeable twat who does nothing to help the cause of BSD with your inane rhetoric.
You know your little penis complex gets old after a while.
If you like freebsd then go ahead and use it; nobody is trying to stop you. The fact that you have wasted brainspace remembering useless tibits of anti-linux drivel speaks volumes about you.
Don't ever let anyone give you a hard time about your white hi-top shoes or tight black jeans, me and you both know they are the coolest thing going (next to the live skid row double cassette album)

You mean Canada extends further east than Ontario?@?
is that the rhine driver you are using? I am having similar symptoms and going crazy trying to find the cause.
hey bob maybe you should spend a little less time developing your widgets and a little more time working on your obtuseness.
P.S. if you disagree with this then you must be a slashdot moron too.
hah

If only you were in charge then the world would be perfect. and full of common sense.
perfect common sense.
We can only hope.

get a grip man, the comment was a euphemism.
Mundie is spewing bullshit therefore he is stinking up the room.
I don't think linus gives a flying fuck what brand of deodorant mundie does or doesn't use.

In lieu of the recent napster debacle, this open music license is exactly what was needed.
Now the question remains, how long will it take to gain acceptance among musicians?
And all he has to do to pull it off is act the part of the slimy cheat!
Goldman comes across like a pompous ass in this series of emails and he deserved to be showed up.
After Patrick accepts the challenge Goldman quickly jumps on the newsgroup to proclaim how some sucker fell for his trick.
At the first sign that his little charade is in trouble he hints at legal action against the challenger.
How classy.
Patrick, you should settle this bar room bet in the same manner most bar room bets are settled: a haymaker to the jaw of the jackass challenger.
Yet another clueless slashdot reader who doesn't know the difference between "open source" "free" and "free-as-in-beer".
Do some reading before you start trying to slam the open source community and you won't come off sounding like such an idiot.

"All proper feminists are antipornography"
I feel blessed to be able to read rhetoric straight from the one true voice of "all proper feminists".
God help all "unproper" and "semiproper" feminists.
How do you explain the fact that the CEO of playboy is a woman?
:~(
Poor lass, suffering in the blender of upper executive positions.
No you only got half of that right:
"How I seduced this woman away from her man while eating tofu and kayaking thru the mountings with one hand tied behind my back."
Ok I am with you when you say 98se over ME but office97 over 2000? not a chance.
2000 is fast, 97 is sooooo slooooow.
What's even cooler is they got the zero-wing PR team to put together some promo material for the magic bean. Check out some of this golden material:

"Surprise for your Kids - Magic Bean
My dear kid needs a partner to accompany on her growing way"

It makes more sense if you call it "additive" and "subtractive" colour mixing (to me anyhow).
additive = mixing light, aka RGB
subtractive = mixing pigment, aka CMY
Hey look I can post as a gutless AC too!
