You're a fucking twat, that's why. Is that good enough?
My life does NOT fucking belong to you, you miserable fucking cretinous pile of fucking garbage. I don't fucking care if you pay me a pittance for spending most of my life at "your" workplace, but hey, you assholes were never noted for gratitude.
You think your stinking shitpile of crap is somehow "natural", when of course, it's just the result of a system that rewards fucking asshole retards such as yourself.
I would like to point out that, even though I am a photoshop user, and this story has nothing to do with gimp or photoshop, that I personally hate gimp, because, well, because I just don't like it. It might be ok for doing little things here and there, but gimp is truly lacking. Only old people use gimp.

Can you please, in the future, consider an emergency reserve of "Redundant" moderation points so that we will have enough to use when stories like this get posted? This story was a true disaster, overwhelming moderators with 537,221,400 unique posts all saying the same thing within 4 minutes and twenty-two seconds. The regular amount of mod points simply didn't cut it. Experts estimate that over one billion "redundant" and "off topic" points were necessary due to massive number of posts about Adobe Photoshop in a gimp release story, and there were only a few dozen.
I know this shortfall of redundant points is a completely false scarcity and there is dire need for redress, unless somehow the number of assholes who feel the need to post crap about photoshop in a gimp story is reduced.
Very rarely is anything greater than "secret" required (unless you're working on missile gyroscopes or something like that), and a secret clearance is just about worthless, it doesn't mean hardly a thing and they are very easy to get - no background check, nothing. Top secret is another matter, usually given to mormons.
He most certainly is not - his "stories" themselves are in fact mudslinging most of the time, and 100% false. He does not report "news", he makes it up out of thin air, then goes on and on ranting about the rumor. He's an idiot.

A while back I was dealing with constant low grade fevers, nausea, dizzy spells and crippling fatigue. I didn't even realize I had fevers until I started monitoring my temperature and realized I was always around or just under 100. I went to two doctors, none of whom could find anything wrong with me; blood tests seemed normal (personally I think they rely too much on blood tests, it's as if they just give up when they don't give them an answer). This sort of thing came and went for about a year, until it finally became too much to bear, the fevers shot up to 102 or so and I'd get frequent chills.
Then all of a sudden I got a terrible toothache. I had a wisdom tooth that had broken years ago and now all of a sudden it was hurting. I had it pulled ($200), took some antibiotics the surgeon gave me and within a week all these symptoms vanished. I did mention the tooth to the doctors I saw but they didn't think much of it. I don't know for sure if that was the problem but it seems that way to me.
Wait a second, you have been trying to install linux on your computer, unsuccessfully it seems, for six fucking years (RH 5), and you say that linux is "almost as good as BSD"?
In other words, what the fuck could you possibly know that would make your opinion on linux vs BSD worth a chicken shit if you can't figure out how to install either? Saying that whole kernel must be recompiled to add a driver gives you away as a complete moron who has never used these systems.
it's not charity. If you worked in this business, and knew the daily outrages commited by IE only "developers" and the crap one has to put up with using IE, it is very much self interest.
All you IE developers out there with your "I need to launch windows executables from my web app" bullshit: Fuck you. Fuck you a million fucking motherfucking times. OK?
why offer the average joe 6 different versions of apps - he just wants one
Why does windows offer the same thing? eudora? mozilla? outlook? outlook express?
which distro is right for me - damn thing is getting fragmented.
they are all compatible to a large extent. Some are more geared to ease of management (debian comes to mind) and some are popular due to vendor requirements (red hat). In the end, it doesn't really matter.
"...and you just (sequence of line noise) to install the driver, then..."
No modern distro has such problems, unless you are using cheapo hardware that has replced hardware functionality with software, incurring an operating system (and hence driver) dependency. Don't buy cheap crap.
not everyone thinks that source code is a good thing in their hands.
Just let the experts handle this issue, ok? go back to using your computer.
or all the ills of "c:\Program Files", and least I know where to install a program. In linux, this is not clear; is it/var,/opt,/usr,/usr/bin,/etc... In many cases the correct answer is all of the above. The answer also differs by distro. eeeewwwwwww
This is not only a non-issue, it is stupid. Linux has a Filesystem Standard for a reason. Binaries go in/bin or/usr/bin, logs go in/var/log, etc. While coming from windows, this might seem bizarre to you, it is only because windows is designed poorly. Read up on what the various root level unix directories are for and it will make perfect sense as to why they are separated out that way. Windows is the mess and is horribly wrong here.
err, linux runs on all those, and debian provides their distro for all of alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, amd64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
The debian installer (up to woody) has always been a gui, just a text based one. It sucked for reasons not having anything to do with gui vs cli minutiae.
Have you ever been on a military march? it is close to running slowly, with 40lbs on your back. It's hell the first few times you do it. Average pace is about 10 minute miles.
The Masters of Useless Technology have finally discovered the biggest consumers of useless crap that has ever existed - the US military, and boy those pockets are deep.
This is sort of like when the RIAA discovered the disposable income of teenagers, but with added gore.
American radio tranmissions (including operations orders) were obviously unencrypted as well, since Russian intel experts (I think retired hobbyists) were listening in and posting what was going to happen on the internet (on iraqwar.ru).
Well I have to say though, Matrox cards work the best in linux - the fb console driver actually works, and works very well (radeonfb doesn't work worth a crap here, and neither do most other fb drivers).
Matrox cards also work great in X, as do many others, and they also are one of the only cards to have their video acceleration features working with video players. So their very open policies and cooperation paid off to a large degree. Most non-gamer linux users will want one of these cards.
It isn't all about 3D. I would certainly like a cheap AGP card that just worked beautifully with everything, and had decent 3d. I don't play games, but I would like the GL stuff to work.
set the cache to "0" and use a proxy. Problem solved.
I agree somewhat; but then the real problem is that windows is such that the whole profile needs to get copied across, which is the heart of the problem, right? In unix, the entire $HOME is mounted remotely, completely transparent to the user. This is better design.

People are becoming more boring and vapid, and for some reason simply have to let everyone else know how boring they are.

Uh, what kind of clearance?
Very rarely is anything greater than "secret" required (unless you're working on missile gyroscopes or something like that), and a secret clearance is just about worthless, it doesn't mean hardly a thing and they are very easy to get - no background check, nothing.

Main problems in IT in the US:
1. Companies have gotten to big
2. Companies try to centralize everything, instead of delegating duties to competent people (this practice also encourages hiring incompetent people). Competent IT workers are also very unhappy when they hands are tied by bureaucratic BS
3. relating to (2), companies don't give raises or benefits anymore, which causes competent / motivated workers to hop jobs to get increases in pay
4. People doing all the "centralizing" are ignorant of standards

Electronic voting machines are a solution in search of a problem.
Just what is it they are supposed to do better?
They have no reason to exist at all, paper trails are absolute nonsense and are only useful in a recount.
OK, i was more or less parodying this nonsense when I wrote the above, but there is a difference.
"I am Napoleon" = I'm actually Napoleon
"I'm a Napoleon" = I'm a pastry
Same difference with
"Ich bin Berliner" and "Ich bin ein Berliner"
Just that the germans didn't quite care (or are adult enough) about the subtle difference. But it is there.
To sum up:
"Ich bin ein Berliner!" JFK 1963
"I'm a Napoleon!" GWB, USS Lincoln, 2003
Both Berliners and Napoleons are tasty, delicate pastries.

? debian is the anarchist distro, slackware is ruled by a secret cabal. A Cabal of slackers, but it's still a cabal!
