why is it... this stupid comment gets posted to every software release article (kernel, distro, etc.) and continues to get modded as funny? this is a great example of what using -1, redundant would be good for.
since it doesn't bother you too much that you got ripped off..... why don't you go ahead and send me some cash and i'll send you pictures of jonaktz fucking cmdrtaco in the ass.
oh how i wait for the day slashdot starts their subscription service and some you morons pay for it. i hope this world is one big joke and people coming up with ideas like this aren't serious. pay napster and now pay yahoo... right... you gotta be kidding...
Just more proof that AMD is not ready for primetime yet. Guess its true that you get what you pay for... they practically give these processors away, not surprised they are junk. If you want a faster processor and stability you have to buy Intel.
I use MSN. I read Slashdot every day, I've used Linux (waiting for my new hard drive before I dual boot - I just don't want to play around with partitions) I know the differences between most of the distros, and to be frank, I know more about Linux than anyone I know in person (sad but true).
So why do I use MSN? I live in the UK, and MSN is BY FAR the best unlimited access dial-up service available. (Getting broadband is just too pricey right now.)
What is the major thing stopping me from switching to Linux altogether? It's not Word or Excel, it's not Internet Explorer (LOL) it's the lack of MSN. I have about 7 years worth of saved emails in my MSN Personal Filing Cabinet, which I NOW realise are pretty much lost forever as soon as I switch services (this is unless someone has reverse-engineered the file format, which I haven't seen done well in MSN's case)
At least I have a good computer. My father, who has a slower computer (ideal for Linux) will not swap, solely because of the lack of MSN. He's no dummy either. He's been using computers since well before the Commodore PET, and programming since then too. He doesn't want to leave mostly because all his friends know his email address.
I guess this has got a bit long, but the point is PLEASE don't assume that all MSN users are idiots, and/or know nothing about Linux. In the US, you may have free local calls to your ISP. In the UK, unless you're on MSN, don't expect to do that and be able to connect even 1 out of 5 times that you dial up.

*BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by falling dead last in the recent Kreskin test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSDis the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. Arecent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek,abysmal sales and so on,FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled *BSD. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is survive at all it will be among *BSD hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
all you faggots with mod points suck off niggers all day and eat black boy cum!!!! all you faggots with mod points suck off niggers all day and eat black boy cum !!!! all you faggots with mod points suck off niggers all day and eat black boy cum!!!! all you faggots with mod points suck off niggers all day and eat black boy cum!!!!
you stupid goddamn nigger fucking jews. get a fucking life. i just posted and 30 seconds 2 people have already modded the post - that is because you guys have no life but slashdot. you take big black nigger dicks in your ass all day.
Something that a lot of these Linux folks don't understand is that people do NOT care to learn how a computer works or how to set it up or how to make it do anything else besides what they want it to do. People use computers as a TOOL, just like a stove or a microwave. I believe that this is one of the main reasons that *nix users find so much distain for Microsoft's products and thier vision of what a computer is supposed to do. It somehow takes away from their l33t status as a basement-based computer geek. What? Regular people are using using a computer in their day to day lives? You have to be a geeko like me to use a computer!?!
The sad fact is, computer's are becoming a part of average people's lives in the same way that all other technological advancements have been integrated into culture since the beginning of humanity. The only people that know how a television works are TV repairmen and the people who build them (hobbiests aside). Likewise, people who only know how a computer works are those that work on them or build them.
Quite simply, Microsoft developed a product that regular people could learn how to use in a relatively short amount of time with the least effort possible. It's just like people learning how to use a remote control or drive a car. So, in this light, the true computer geek's world has been tainted by the "sheep of the masses." So be it. Because even if they are sheep, they make the world turn. They have all of the money, they make everything happen. How many flames, posts, articles have you read that say, "I like Linux but I program with MS technology...hey I gotta put food on the table."
Technology adapts to people, not the other way around.
For those who haven't been following Debian HURD is really coming along...
Hurd is the GNU microkernel project. Starting with the Mach kernel designed at Carnegie Mellon, Debian developers are stitching together a full distribution. Microkernels are designed to get away from a basic problem in Unix-like architectures: To do anything fun you need the root password. Mach is designed to let normal users do things that only root could do on Linux; that makes it a natural on shared ISP boxes. Right now Hurd is a bit rough, so it's probably not the best place to start.
Slashdot Mirror
the article mentions they need jews to test this on
can you post pictures of your titties?
nice job, serves that little jewish cunt right. do you happen to still have her #?
wrong.
who cares? use kde.

jonkatz said yes? they are probably busy fucking each other in the ass celebrating.
Not interested? DON'T FUCKING COME TO THE SLAVE AUCTIONS OR BUY ONE. Get a life. Go outside and do the work yourself.
and you are all niggers. now back to the fields nigger!
you dumb ass..... there is no plan to make a profit... this is the age of the internet and businesses no longer need a plan to make money
I agree... and I am a nigger!
since it doesn't bother you too much that you got ripped off..... why don't you go ahead and send me some cash and i'll send you pictures of jonaktz fucking cmdrtaco in the ass.
free jonkatz's dick from cmdrtaco's ass!

Trick question, they are the same thing.

They both look good hanging from a tree!

PHP4, INN2, Apache, telnetd, IMP, ssh-nonfree, wu-ftpd, xtel, OpenSSH, Postfix, Mailman, GPM, Mutt, Exim, AND libgtop
So you'll definetly want to at least get these new packages.
