I've been here for years and have watched the decline.
Instead of this "and people wonder why" I have instead found greener pastures. Slashdot isn't what it once was. As you can see it's impossible to control/censor trolls under the current system (not that I can think of a better way - slashdot's is quite good).
So i've come to look on slashdot as occasional news, a bit of fun, trolling grounds (although even I pass for a troll - when really i'm just a tetchy dickhead who insults people a lot).
The original/.'ers left in the same way they left whatever they left to come to slashdot. It's not sad. Things change. The system falls apart.
Um, Anushead (may I call you anushead?)... it's got nothing to do with being a "geek",
If you search for something like knitting and find lots of results about SEX and ANAL then you put -SEX and -ANAL in your search (depending on the engine, of course) to filter them out.
For someone searching the blanket terms "SOCKS" there's no way anyone can know if you are wanting any of the many definate terms.
Look at the results of the first one. Try to spot the trend, it's not that fucking hard.
I'm sure there are going to be much more informed posts talking about the merits of FreeBSD but really all it comes down to is the following which is to be read in a Keanu Reeves voice:
I'm sorry, but this guy is such an asslicker. He really doesn't have a clue. There are many many companies that sell support seperately and even base their entire company-model on this type of thing.
Even up to the level of Redhat.
My parent is an asslicker (which would explain my big ears, eh wot?)
>Hey kiddie! Chill out! You really think
> posts like this make you look cool? How
> old are you?
Yes, because that's what i'm trying to do. Look cool. Oh yeah.
Grow up.
The only reason I respond is to display my benevolence over you commoners, and to say when I think people are dumb, or when people are smart.
My goal has never been to look cool. And for you to even consider that.. well, how old are you?
Because architecture is everything. Or, rather, architecture can get gains so you may as well use it.
(and in a somewhat related post, X is bloated - not by code but by Architecture and the steeping-stone hacks that are required to bring it to standard).
Bah! I am The King of the World, I have no need for tact.
Goto is just another tool? What about when Synapse - that failed music store - put it's money into Goto ranking (among other advertising)?
The company fell over and Goto kept pointing at them (odds are they were contracturally obliged to).
Goto is an awful search engine; justifying it as part of your repoitre is a tad thin; and there are much better tools about.
Just another tool? what does one need to qualify as just another tool?
And it does sound (read:appear) like the guy sucks at searching. If he/she doesn't know how to search for socks, without searching for protocols ("socks -protocol -socket -proxy") - then yes, it does sound like they suck at searching.
And i'm not about to learn some tact when I already felt pity and apologised to the laddy for the obvious truth.
Unfortuneatly not. They were intended to be squishy lemmings after I got bored one night playing Lemmings 2: Tribes. I could kill many of them with grenades or rockets. But it was so slow, and so much effort!
I wanted a quick mass holocaust style death for those lemmings.
ps. I had no idea QBasic code was so portable;) Thanks!

Slashdot Mirror
As I said, "losers do drugs", man.
I've been here for years and have watched the decline.
Instead of this "and people wonder why" I have instead found greener pastures. Slashdot isn't what it once was. As you can see it's impossible to control/censor trolls under the current system (not that I can think of a better way - slashdot's is quite good).

I don't do drugs.
If you search for something like knitting and find lots of results about SEX and ANAL then you put -SEX and -ANAL in your search (depending on the engine, of course) to filter them out.
For someone searching the blanket terms "SOCKS" there's no way anyone can know if you are wanting any of the many definate terms.

Kinda like your dick.
Losers do drugs, man.
A king might have use for you, boy.
*wink* *wink*
No, wait, that's my fake name.
My real name is Kevin Smith.
How do you think I got where I am today?
Losers need drugs.
Whoa.

He's probably got downs or something.
I'm sorry if this is interpretted as a troll, but it's also true.
Ba-dom-bom-cha!
> very well with others
In that case Heathcliff will have to punish them, and punish them he will.
Before introducing another blues playing uncle.
It's amazing how much Mandrake are better at the desktop - even on the Gnome side - and Debian among others are better as the server.
I'm waiting for mandrakeisnotlinux.org.
Meaning it would have none.
(sorry for the ambiguity)
It bounces to goatse.cx.
There have been several versions of NTFS, the latest and leaked beta qualifies as a JFS.
For more information on JFS, read here.
Of course whether the poster actually knows they're right - well.
Your memory serves you well. It was "if a=5 AND b=2 then x=4"
Unfortuneatly not. They were intended to be squishy lemmings after I got bored one night playing Lemmings 2: Tribes. I could kill many of them with grenades or rockets. But it was so slow, and so much effort!
