Did someone mention BSD? This story is bound to have about 30 or so "BSD is dying" posts from Linux users who recently converted from Windows only 10 days ago.
'*BSD is dying' posts are dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD-is-dying community when last month slashdot confirmed that *BSD-is-dying posts account for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all posts. Coming on the heels of the latest slashdot survey which plainly states that *BSD-is-dying posts have lost more market share to option E, Cowboyneal, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD-is-dying posts are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive trolling test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD-is-dying's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD-is-dying posts face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD-is-dying posts because *BSD-is-dying is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD-is-dying posts. As many of us are already aware, *BSD-is-dying posters continue to lose karma. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD-is-dying is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
BSD-is-dying leader Anonymous Coward states that there are 70 readers of BSD-is-dying posts.
All major surveys show that *BSD-is-dying posts have steadily declined on slashdot. *BSD-is-dying is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD-is-dying is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist trolls. *BSD-is-dying continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD-is-dying is dead.
No matter what happens though, IBM keyboards are the best ever made.
Heh, apparently you don't have to work on the old school AS400 (e-server I series now)dumb terminals. The keyboard I have been using lately weighs about 10 lbs, requires the finger strength of a god to press a key, the enter key is where right-control is these days, and worst of all has NO function keys, but rather requires awkward key combinations to simulate F1-F24.
On the other hand, the thing is durable, as it is obviously (much to my dismay) still in use.
Maybe it was a regional thing? When I was growing up only a few people I knew had a SNES, but everyone had a Genesis.
No, I think it was more of a timing issue. As far as I recall, Genesis was much cooler than SNES early on. However, as the SNES matured, it made Genesis look like the SMS and everyone jumped ship. Super F'n Metroid, my friend. Some of my favorite games of all time were on the SNES.
Um, I am not seeing them on ftp.kde.org. (If one ends a sentence with a IP address or URL, does one still put a period? Seems, wrong to me...) Could you provide the entire path for us retards? Thanks.
OK, here's an honest question. In the past, I have used the three major rpm based distros (RH, SuSe, Drake) and therefore never had a chance to try apt. My question is, how is apt so much better than, say, Red Carpet on a RedHat box? It works out dependency issues, just like apt does. I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, I am just wondering if apt is really so much better/easier anymore...
Not having MS office on linux hasn't really bothere.
Having hardly any commercial games on linux hasn't really bothered me either.
No IE, didn't phase me.
Now they have gone too far.
Looks like I'll be picking up WinXP tonight, as life w/o msn.com isn't a life worth living.
Great idea, guys.

I didn't see any mention of Redhat in that article at all

They have dogs there? So, emission controls like 'Don't crap of the Martian face' are needed?

Can anyone tell me if X 4.0.x still works with this kernel, or is it absolutely necessary to upgrade to 4.1.x?
Um, I may be wrong, but The Last Crusade meant just that... no more Crusades once the Holy Grail is found. It wasn't "Indiana Jones' Last Crusade."
Um, it seems to me my now old school visor deluxe is also equipped with a backlight... RTFM.
