On my infinite quest for karma, I decided to email CmdrTaco about what it would take for me to get an account on slashdot with unlimited karma. We exchanged emails for a while, and he always told me that it would take a very special favor to get what I wanted. Finally, I told him I would do anything, without exception, for an unlimited-karma account. He told me to go to his apartment, and I would find out there what I had to do. I thought I was prepared for anything. I wasn't prepared for this.
The first thing I realized when I got off the bus was that something was very different about this part of town. There were no girls in site, but many men. A lot of them were holding hands. I soon realized that I was in the gay corner of town. My boyish young looks got a lot of stares from the people. I found the apartment, and knocked on the door. Cmdrtaco answered the door, he was in a designer pink bathrobe. The first thing that hit me when I walked in to his apartment was the smell. It was a pungent combination: the fishy smell of sex, combined with the feces smell of, well, feces.
The whole Slashdot crew was gathered around the television. They were watching some sort of anime porn involving a little boy and his male schoolteacher. They promptly turned it off when they saw me enter. CmdrTaco told me to sit on a chair that was placed in the living room. When I sat down, him and Jon Katz tied me to the chair tightly with lan-wires. CmdrTaco then walked up to me and opened his robe, and placed his testicles on my face. He said to me "These are the TACO BELLS, LICK THEM", so I did. After licking his balls for 10 minutes he placed his cock in my mouth. I could still taste the stale shit that was encrusted on it. 30 seconds later, he was done. Jon Katz was next. He walked up to me and unzipped his tight leather pants. His erect over-circumcised penis in all its 4 inches of glory was an inch from my nose. He said to me in a high pitched, flamboyantly homosexual voice, "GIVE ME THE HELL-MOUTH, BABY!" so I stuck his penis in my mouth. 45 seconds later, I had the collective semen of two slashdot editors all over my face. Next in line was CowboyNeal. He had the brilliant idea of recording the whole encounter so they could broadcast it on 'geeks in space'. He whipped out his long hairy cock and pointed to it and said in a feminine tone "When it comes to poles, everyone chooses CowboyNeal!" 5 seconds later I had the cum of 3 slashdot editors running down my neck. Next in line was Michael. He was dressed as hitler, and his pubic hair was shaved into a swastika. I didn't even have to do anything, he just blew all over my face right away. I now had the man juice of 4 slashdot editors all sticky in my hair. Then the others did their business, including some people off #slashdot, including emad. When I got home, my black shirt had a hundred white streaks on it.
I now have an account on slashdot with unlimited karma, when I'm not having gay sex, I like to moderate down posts that are already -1. Deep down, I now feel complete. I will never forget that special night I had with the slashdot editors.

Hello, as an experienced MCSE, I have worked with many systems before for different corporations, and although I find linux to be a suitable server OS, there are many problems that have to be addressed before it will be able to compete with windows in the desktop world. Here are some suggestions I have come up with that will help linux become more competitive.
1) Remove the bloat. Most linux distro's ship with way to many useless programs. Desktop users do not need 10 different text editors. Give them one or two good ones and that will be enough.
2) Dump the command line. Desktop users do not use command lines. Windows is light-years ahead in this regard. Even their server OS has a great gui, and it is not necessary to use the command line. Linux needs to follow Microsoft's lead and get rid of the command line. You could maybe include an option for advanced users, like how windowsXP has an ms-dos prompt, if you really want to use it.
3) Dump open-source. Normal desktop users do not care about source code, they care about good programs. They do not want to compile anything. Linux needs real companies that actually know how to make good interfaces. Right now they are few and far between.
4) A universal gui system. Linux needs ONE gui. Perhaps people should focus on developing KDE into a competitive platform. Forget about gnome and everything else.
5) Make upgrading the software easier. Desktop users need an easy way to upgrade the kernel.
6) Get a good web browser. Linux has no good web browsers right now. Netscape is old and bloated. Opera cost extra and lacks some features. Mozilla is still beta and isn't even up to version 1.0 yet, so it doesn't count. Linux needs a browser that is competitive with IE, and right now IE is light-years ahead of anything for linux.
7) Proper office programs. If you want Linux to be used in offices, you need decent applications. These programs should be able to import all MS formats, past and present. Microsoft is still light years ahead when it comes to their office programs.
8) Backward compatibility. WindowsXP can run dos programs, windows 3.11 programs, windows9x programs, windowsNT programs, ect... Linux is barely backward compatible.
Right now I would recommend windowsXP for any sensible desktop user. Linux is still too complicated and fragmented to appeal to the typical user. Perhaps in a few years time they will be on par with windows, and a few people may try it.
well you have the degree so you are a system engineer. However you might have to learn those 'alternative' os's that some (ussualy stupid) companies use like linux and freebsd. Even though they have nowhere near the power of windows some companies like to save a few pennies and use inferior systems
Don't forget the 'overdone gibs' or whatever it was called that randomly happened when you blew up a guy and caused him to explode like a barrel of meat. This game was the first real comically violent fps.
When you were a kid, the other kids always used to pick on you. Just because you had glasses, star trek t-shirts, and ugly lunch boxes, people used to shove you in the mud during recess and call you 'gay'. You hated going to school, and spent most of your free time alone. When you got older, girls didn't go for you. They were more interested in the 'cool kids' who dress right, acted right, and had less blemished faces than you did. People still called you 'gay'. It drove you nuts, you always thought to yourself "I would treat the girls right, if they went out with me" but they never did. They called you 'gay'. You got more and more angry, and you hated your life. You couldn't get out of bed in the morning. Finally, you finished high school, and you thought it was all over.
Guess what buddy, IT AINT!
Girls still think your ugly
The people who bullied you have social skills and will be much more successful in life
You will always be lonely and miserable
You will never be happy
People still think your 'gay'
And what proves that you are the worthless loser of society: you are reading this post, which is offtopic and -1
There is no doubt that you are gay, and you should make yourself look attractive and find yourself a man. That's the best you'll ever get.
Rosie O'Donnel is a fat piece of ham. Her show is completely useless to anyone who isn't loaded on high doses of anti-depressants (as Rosie herself is). Here is a list of reasons why her show blows.
1) Rosie doesn't stop talking about her fucking kids. Nobody gives a fuck about your kids!
2) Rosie is a fucking hypocrite. At one point she was ranting about the need for gun control, and then she told her bodyguard to buy a gun to protect her kids (after some wacko threatened her because of her gun control stance)
3) Rosie is a dyke. But no man would ever want her anyway.
4) Rosie is a media whore. Every show she is talking about how she loves her imac or AOL or xbox or whatever. Her show borders on being an infomercial.
5) Rosie makes people thing it's ok to be fat. It's not. Get some exercise you fat dyke!
yes I'm sure you run lots of games on your freebsd system and need a geforce. Can't run that SERVER OS without 3d acceleration huh? Go to the nearest store and buy windowsXP and then you can happily game yourself to death.

6) Get a good web browser. Linux has no good web browsers right now. Netscape is old and bloated. Opera cost extra and lacks some features. Mozilla is still beta and isn't even up to version 1.0 yet, so it doesn't count. Linux needs a browser that is competitive with IE, and right now IE is light-years ahead of anything for linux.
7) Proper office programs. If you want Linux to be used in offices, you need decent applications. These programs should be able to import all MS formats, past and present. Microsoft is still light years ahead when it comes to their office programs.
8) Backward compatibility. WindowsXP can run dos programs, windows 3.11 programs, windows9x programs, windowsNT programs, ect... Linux is barely backward compatible.
Right now I would recommend windowsXP for any sensible desktop user. Linux is still too complicated and fragmented to appeal to the typical user. Perhaps in a few years time they will be on par with windows, and a few people may try it.
Hello, as an experienced MCSE, I have worked with many systems before for different corporations, and although I find linux to be a suitable server OS, there are many problems that have to be addressed before it will be able to compete with windows in the desktop world. Here are some suggestions I have come up with that will help linux become more competitive.
1) Remove the bloat. Most linux distro's ship with way to many useless programs. Desktop users do not need 10 different text editors. Give them one or two good ones and that will be enough.
2) Dump the command line. Desktop users do not use command lines. Windows is light-years ahead in this regard. Even their server OS has a great gui, and it is not necessary to use the command line. Linux needs to follow Microsoft's lead and get rid of the command line. You could maybe include an option for advanced users, like how windowsXP has an ms-dos prompt, if you really want to use it.
3) Dump open-source. Normal desktop users do not care about source code, they care about good programs. They do not want to compile anything. Linux needs real companies that actually know how to make good interfaces. Right now they are few and far between.

you'd be surprised
alot of people mod down people who are already -1, and they sometimes mod them up to 0 or higher, also effectively wasting mod points
you gpl flyboys really crack me up
Whats the point of posting as an AC.
All you do is make yourself look like a little faggot.
