That's because it was already run yesterday. So, yeah there was interest - just not two stories in one day.

Prescense is a nebulous question. VA as a company was not there - OSDN was. VA had sales folks there, working on selling SourceForge Enterprise, but no booth. OSDN had an open meeting room, that was quite nice.
As for the shift, it means exactly what everything says - VA is no longer selling Linux/servers. VA is now selling SourceForge Enterprise, and that's it. OSDN, the parent of Slashdot and other sites, is the Open Source component of VA.
As for next year - who knows? Remember, as of this time last year, VA was still in the hardware business, and people would have thought they'd be attending as a big sponsor and such this year. VA was there to make sales. OSDN was there to do the same, but also to talk to people in the community, as long as that's stil there, we'll still be attending (OSDN).
Since Google is private, they don't have release any of their earnings. However, my understaind is that they are already profitable, with most of the business coming from private implementations of the search engine.
atrow - read the report. That's a declared loss. That's not cash. That's writing off the Andover.net acquisition, amongst other things that don't nvolved real money. Check out Nortel - 19 billion dollar write off.
I would like to point out that despite what's said in the drifting piece - Sourceforge.net does run on Free software. Sourceforge 3.0 Enterprise Edition has non-free components to it, the major part being the access into Oracle.
I posted it because "major gaming sites" are biased, non-interesting crap.What Lowtax had written was funny, interesting and well-written, which is hard to find. That's part of why I like OMM. I used those links because, IMHO, that was the best stuff I've seen on AO anywhere. It's too bad about his bandwidth - I didn't know that, and would have cheerfully removed, or reposted his links. But instead, we have this.
Read the story. It's not Timothy's review. Timothy did not write the story. User Psuedonym did. And look! His e-mail address is there! E-mail him! Ask him how he liked it!
From what I can read of your comments you don't understand the issue.
The document posted on here was a full document, and thus, not under fair use. As well, when we had been sued, all of the server logs would have been taken. The anonymous coward would have been identified and taken. Moreover, under DMCA, we are liable. That's how it works. Next time, read the summary of the DMCA before posting.
Drakantus is right - the other ones we try to keep an eye out for. If there's not something in the mainstream media, then write a review! Compare and contrast! Write a user guide!
I'd love to not post stuff about Napster - but right now, that's about the only option we've got.
We need more database RAM, actually. Then we need more webserver RAM - we're reaching our celing on max connections, and can't add more until we get more RAM.
I think I could step in - I've talked with him about it. Say you worked on an OSS project you wanted to promote - this would beon way you could do that. Or, if you had a small business, you could put your company in.
You'd be the same as a regular customer, but you'd be earning the credit towards putting ads up in a different way - not just dollars and cents.
I think that the user-based ad system is one of the most interesting ideas I've heard in a long time. It completly changes the dynamic of the advertising relationship.
Why?
Because web advertising has been basically like TV or print - an ad is displayed and people can click or not. TV doesn't even have that option, but print can send back requests for more info. What can we do here? Click on an ad - that's been the only method of communication.
Me, I like to see *some* ads. I've found good companies and stuff I didn't know about through some of the ads. But I'd much prefer being able to do more then click or not - being able to request more info, or being able to to *turn off* a bad ad would rock. It's a system that I think would be worth implementing - not because I work on the web sites, but because it's something I'd like to have as user.
Uh...dude.../no/ one works on E2. E2 is a bandwidth bill. So, if you are trying to work a conspiracy of financial reimbursment, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pop your dreams.
It's not evasive. No one asked questions about Pater does - look at his response. He doesn't post stories, except GIS, he doesn't do the moderation system - he's the hands that keep the boxes updated, user accounts working and stuff like that. No one asked apropos questions.

Well, since it's been been proven to my satisification, I don't plan on printing a retracation.
No, you can't. Salon intercepts it.

I've got two very young children in the house, so I don't turn the noise up.
And I've found D2 runs *much* better with this - compared to the last one.
Nate is under a carefully mandated government plan to reduce any exposure he might have to matches, candles or any other flammable unit.

Very easy - someone typed in the wrong time. We deemed the shared source to be more important, and that was supposed to go up first.
Not everything is a conspiracy folks.
It ain't Robcode anymore. :)

They aren't hosted on OSDN. Know before you speak.

Yeah, I flog it. Just like I flog all the sites I link.

Nah, he just didn't want to do this. And the questions were totally not what he does.
It was the progenitor of Slashdot, and was hosted on Rob's personal website at Hope College. It no longer exists.

Nope - I think it was high school.
