This is not Slashdot's fault. Did they make up the statement? Did they post something that wasn't said? Did they double check their source and find that it had been said? Mr. Perens posted the comment to an Online mailing list and to his web site. Is it news that the driving force behind one of the major Linux Distributions wants to sue Corel? If I was to make these comments no one would care and I probably would only get one or two "go away" type flames. If Mr. Torvalds was to post these comments all hell would break loose. If you don't want to live with your comments then don't make them. I think even Mr. Gates has started to discover the consequences of making comments even in what he thought would be private emails.
An even better test would be to post the address on/. Why use 140 machines when you can use 70,000. Just give us a time and a link and we'll see what it can really handle.
