I would have gone for browser 2, Konqueror on BSD with anti-aliasing. The output is beautiful. I don't understand why there were votes for any other browsers, outside of a proportion of people being blind. Do you have any insights?
Thank you for your refreshing rudeness. You know, it's assholes like you that make it less than fun for newbies like me to fully embrace the Linux community (and no offence at all meant to you nice guys, but they are quite a few assholes).
Please understand:
There is no Linux community. That's like talking about a Windows community. It's a fairly arbitrary (see - on topic) grouping of people whose sole connection is they all use a particular kernel some of the time.
If you were to talk to someone in the Free Software community, which does exist, and is populated by people with common principles and ideas about freedom in software for moral reasons, you won't have to suffer being called a 'complete fucking moron' unless you really are. Principally that's because people with morals tend to like other people.
This story is a melange of Linux, Mac, Windows and *BSD and hence is likely to fan the religious flames, generate page hits, advertising views and revenue.
What is a community built around Linux, but without concern for freedom in software? It's a community built around a name. You might as well be in the Foo community.
Yes, Linux is a great kernel. I use Linux because it's 1. a great kernel and 2. it's Free.
If Linux wasn't Free it probably wouldn't be here, and if it was here it would just be another proprietary solution like BeOS or Amiga or whatever. Yes, those have communities of hardcore users but it's generally a matter of luck that someone used a system and got caught up in liking it, like wars between Sinclair and Commodore fans in the early eighties. Arbitrary fandom.
The true value in Linux is that it's Free. This offers guarantees that you don't get if it were not. I won't repeat them here, anyone who calls himself a member of the Linux community should be well aware of the freedoms he has and the ways he is, along with the rest of the community, empowered by that freedom.
But a community built on a name, on a shifting binary pattern over which that community has no control, is a community destined to become dust.
Build your community on principles, and it will last.
People, get a grip. with make-kpkg you can build your own debs of whatever kernel you like. I'm running woody with 2.4.18-pre7, and some patches. Why do people get hung up on the default kernel?
Even without make-kpkg there is usually a choice of kernel.

Also, it's decrying, not decreying. Oh, and there's no irony involved, Alanis.

Will you marry me?
I don't understand. Why don't your lusers just autoreply to sender only? Are they that stupid?
I was probably just going to troll for Karma ;)
Looks like you failed! Sorry...
More to the point, what were you going to say that made you hit the reply button?
Interesting poll, wouldn't let me vote though.

Except Kuro5hin is about things like female circumcision... can't they keep to normal geek-type stuff?
Oh well...
Whoever bought it was a sucker, karma is capped at 50 as you well know.
Unless this was pre-cap, in which case low UIDs would have been common at the time and hence worth less. When was the cap introduced?
Am I thinking too hard about this?
I think mazeone must be RADKade1's dorm mate or something, and he has another account with mod points.

That's why it's here.
Linus released 2.4 because he wanted more testers. He got them. 16 or so releases later and we have a stable kernel.
Of course the AP reporter is completely unbiased, not being a writer, and news agencies have no interest in maintaining copyright privileges.
Microsoft probably already have all those XP desktops autogenerating the next iteration of their inoperating system so they can concentrate on .Net
Yes, hold on...
[5 mins later]
There, done!
In light of your highly articulate, persuasive, reasoned response I have no alternative but to agree with you unreservedly.
How can you remove stuff from the public domain? Does no-one have any copies? If not, it was probably useless information anyway.

Thanks, I nearly lost my lunch on that one...
Yeah, I think Linus said this about 2.4.
I've never had any problems using alien to install rpms in over 3 years of using Debian.
I've not installed too many rpms though....
Debian has php4 too. Really, people think Debian is out of date, it's not. It's just stable and DFSG free. (except for php4 - see the Zend engine...).
Woody is going to be obsolete the day it is released.
Everything is obsolete the day it is released. You were obsolete the day you were born.

I put my karma behind what I say, unlike you.
