Oh, by the way, be prepared for the downmod ban. If you get X number of posts (I think it's like 4 or 5) downmodded within a certain period of time, you're banned from posting for 72 hours.
Just use a proxy, that'll get you around the IP ban. I'm not sure if the ban applies to the accounts too, it's been a while since I've been subject to it. Once you're at -1 by default, you usually don't have to worry.
Govtcheez, let me be the first to welcome you (unless someone's beaten me to it while I type this long reply), but also to give you a quick run down of what a troll is, and what a crapflooder is
Troll
Trolls are individuals who intentionally attempt to gather responses by posting misinformation or overzealously defending an opposite viewpoint. Trolls generally post in the 1-2 range and are usually actually rather insightful in their views. In a classroom analogy, trolls are the well dressed preppies that enjoy stiring up discussion in the class and watching the hippie tree-hugger in the corner cry when people talk about increasing logging in the Spotted Owl's habitat.
Crapflooder
Crapflooders are individuals who post, well, crap. We post offtopic, we post blatant links to goatse.cx (which is now down, so use hick.org/goat). Crapflooders generally post at -1. In a classroom analogy, crapflooders are the guys in the back who joke about the teacher, the hippie, and the preppie. We're the ones who shoot spitwads at the board, who burp loudly when the chance presents itself.
As you can see, I define myself as a crapflooder. I hope this helps you to determine your true path.
Nope. For me, Slashdot has always been a place to come and hang out with the troublemakers. While I do occasionally post something interesting, it's never to gain "Karma" but because it's how I feel.
The key to those of us that post at -1 is the fact that we don't really care. We say what we want. If we want to hop on and say "I'm suffering from Painful Rectal Itch" we say it. If we want to hop on and discuss yesterday's Temptation Island 2 results (Who was really surprised, huh?), we do it.
This guy has the right idea. In the end, it doesn't matter. Don't take yourselves so seriously on Slashdot. Your karma does not make you a better person. Your insightful posts do not make you more of an expert. In the end, you're just as human as the next person, with all the strengths and weaknesses that entails.
However, I must say I was rather disappointed yesterday by the performance of the crapflooders. I used another account to get an anonymous FP in a story, and nobody came along to claim it. I think it's still sitting out there in limbo waiting to be claimed.
However, it is understandable what with Taco getting engaged and all. Even I had to take a step back and say "Wow, Taco is human after all!" I'd had my suspicions, but that confirmed it. I think we were all in a bit of shock that day.
As a previous recipient of a Hat Trick, I extend to you my heartfelt congratulations on your accomplishment.
You have done us proud, continue your efforts at keeping the ACs from achieving the prize.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to read specs and test software.
Hussah!
I can do a book review too!

Obviously someone didn't get up on the right side of the bed. Perhaps if the space next to him hadn't been empty for the past 20 years of his miserable existance, he'd be a bit more chipper.
"My shift is about to end and I need to zero out my tab. Here's your bill." stated the waitress, bringing a new pot of coffee.
"You think I'm paying for this swill? The eggs were runny, the toast was burnt, and this coffee still tastes like ass! I want a manager."
"I'll see if I can find him."
Our villian waits in his booth burning with anger. Such a big man he is, he can push around a sub-minimum-wage employee of a cheap breakfast joint. He doesn't care about the 3 children she's struggling to feed with her two jobs. All he cares about is proving his obvious superiority over everyone.
"I've heard that your dining experience was unpleasant sir. What can I do to rectify that?" asks the manager. In his mind he's thinking "What can I do to placate this asshole so he doesn't disturb the other customers."
"I've never tasted such filth in all my life!" exclaims our villian for the fifth time this week. "The eggs were cold and runny again, and this toast looks like it was cooked over a charcoal flame. I do not like char-grilled bread!"
The manager sighs as he picks up the bill and tears it up. "I'm sorry sir, this meal is on the house. We'll talk with our cook again."
"I'll give you all one more try. If I weren't late, I'd talk to him myself." our villian states as he grabs his briefcase and jacket. In actuality, the fact that the cook is 6'4" and a muscular 250 lbs is enough reason not to talk to him. It's much safer to criticize his work from in front of the counter. No need to understand the fact that his wife filed for divorce on Monday and won't let him see his kids. No need to understand the fact that this man served in Vietnam and has gotten nothing from his country except spit and anger. No, the only thing that matters is his inability to time the toaster properly.
Rushing out the door, Mr. Coward just manages to grab the bus. As he sits down, an old woman who was right behind him sighs. Behind her is an old metal cart with two bags of groceries. From the looks of her wardrobe and the contents of her bags, it's obvious her life is not easy. Her Social Security check doesn't cover much anymore, and ever since her husband died the pension has gotten much smaller. "May I have that seat sir? I'm only riding two blocks." she asks sweetly.
"Fuck you." Mr. Coward bluntly states, "I got here first. If you're only riding two blocks, it shouldn't be that difficult to stand. I'm riding downtown, and I have a lot of reading to do before I get there."
Another rider stands up to give the old woman a seat. Mr. Coward opens his paper to the comics section. That Dilbert sure is funny!
...More to come
How's this Mr. AC? Keep checking my journal, I'll have more for you later.
Haha, using Word "replace" to take care of things?
Rather than relying on software to make your decisions for you, why don't you try this new thing called "thinking?" It doesn't require electricity, so all the communist "We shouldn't pollute the environment because that blue-green algae is so cute!" idiots dance and sing and don't wear deodorant in support of it.
Become a planetary activist too. Go hug a tree today (I'd recommend a Honey Locust.)
But yeah, in all honesty I knew about these things. Just use the leading spaces in your replace rules... (Replace " it" with " he") that should make things a bit easier.
My first experience with installing Linux was early in my college career. I'd heard great things about Linux, about how stable and powerful it was. That was just what I was looking for in an OS. I wanted something that would stay up longer than my old Windows system. I decided to go ahead and experiment with installing a totally different OS, so I decided to go for Linux. I am disappointed to say that my first attempt failed miserably. I was just too intimidated by the process. Linux seemed so complicated and I was only starting out in the alternative OS scene. I became scared, and my desire to install Linux was quickly shelved.
All throughout my college career though, my friends kept telling me about the power and stability of Linux. When I got out, I was again ready to attempt installing Linux. This time, however, I found the process much smother and easier. Linux was ready to be installed, and I was ready to install and I did so with pleasure. I found that except for a few minor differences involving my video card and sound card, Linux was the powerhouse my friends had talked about. I decided to go ahead and keep Linux for my web-server.
Little did I know how complicated Linux would continue to be. I was naïve, I was stupid, and I was ignorant. I didn't know that there were many people out there who had no desire except to take control of my web-server. I had no clue that Linux was so easily attacked. I didn't keep up with maintaining Linux's security, and in the end my system was taken away from me. Evil hackers took over my Linux and flaunted their control by changing my root password right under my nose!
I still miss my old system, but I am too afraid to install Linux again. I'm afraid it'll just be hacked again, and I'll look like an idiot one more time.
Now my friends are telling me about the strength, power, and security of FreeBSD. They say it's much less hackable, and it's just as rock-solid stable as Linux. Perhaps one day I'll be ready to experiment again, but until then I feel better with my easy Windows system.
Damn it, did I do it again? That's not at all what I meant. Please replace the above words as follows:
Password - asshole
Security - faithfulness
Hackers - homosexual MBAs
Video card - love of butter
Strength - horniness
Something - someone
FreeBSD - Michael
system - boyfriend
Stability - manliness
root - lover's
Install - seduce (Modify tense as appropriate)
An - a (Where necessary)
Windows - Golden Shower loving
alternative - plushophile (An explanation is available here)
Hacked - tempted away
OS - lover
It - he/him (as appropriate)
Changing - screwing
Linux - CmdrTaco
Web-server - beautiful arm and ass candy
Attacked - swayed
Stable - manly
Sound card - distaste of Taco-Snotting
Hackable - easily tempted
Propz to everyone who has helped me along the way. I couldn't have done it without you guys!
I just wanted to say that this post is my official post #199. If this were tomorrow, this very post (Or hopefully the FP) would have been replaced by my official 200'th post.
So get ready folks, tomorrow should be a good one.
FP From home
Morning FP. Hit Slashdot before heading to work, pulled the FP out of my ass. I knew it was going to be a good day.
You have beaten me to an FP?
An FP taunting all the ACs attempting to get their posts in first. They can't do squat against my mighty FP power.
HAT TRICK!
As soon as I saw the "Read More" on the front page, I knew I had it. Today was my day. I just barely beat MastahTrollah (A new friend) to the punch. When I posted I was 1 of 1, when I refreshed the page, I was 1 of 2.
It was indeed close, but I have attained the prize. 3 out of 3 for the day. ACs can all suck on my asshole until they get their just reward.
I work hard to ensure that ACs rarely get a hand up on me.
Oh, one more FP and I get a hat trick. Don't let that stop any of you logged-in trolls/crapflooders from going for it. I'd rather be beaten by one of you guys than by a dirty AC.
All of the training & accountability problems you mention
were common complaints back when Linux was just starting
to be used in the server market. The training and
accountability issues are always addressed AFTER the
applications are made available. However, that didn't
stop Linux from doing quite well with mail servers, web
servers, etc.
Believe me, when Windows 3.0 was being pirated like
mad, creating a market for those old Excel versions,
there was no training or accountability. People were used
to DOS and keyboards; and what "accountability" was
there for pirated software? Once a "killer app" came
along, it took off.
The arguments you use here are excellent arguments for why Linux can and does do well as a server. However, they don't help Edna the Accountant out very much.
Remember, Edna is not a power user. Edna is not used to reconfiguring IIS, or Apache, or O'Reilly Website, or sendmail, or Exchange based on profiles, subnet masks, header information, etc, etc, etc. System Administrators are an interesting lot, and they love the challenge of learning and tweaking a new system.
Edna, on the other hand, doesn't care whether Exchange or Sendmail is handling her e-mail, so long as her happy forward about Joey and his paintbrush makes it to her 3 daughters in Illinois. Edna, however, is concerned by the fact that her start button has been replaced by some strange set of icons along the bottom of her screen, and the fact that her cell-formulas for calculating the interest-rate based on monthly payment have changed.
Edna doesn't want to be bothered with learning how to run XSpreadEmSheet or whatever. For her, Excel works perfectly and will continue to work perfectly. Getting Edna to change is like getting a donkey to walk down stairs. You can do it, but neither you nor the donkey will be happy doing it.
Another flaw in your argument is that you automatically assume that the difference between Windows an Linux is as pronounced as the difference between DOS and Windows. Back during that time, Windows was a very big deal. The only GUI available had been for Macs. For the first time you were able to navigate your computer without remembering long confusing paths and command line options (Server admins love command lines, Edna hates them more than vampires hate garlic). Today though, most people are plenty satisfied with what Windows and MS Office can do for them. There is very little incentive for them to change that. To them, Linux is no "killer app" (A point you do concede).
Linux doesn't, and in my opinion, will never have a
"killer app". However, if you can use Linux and KDE
on a desktop for basic office functions now and save
$400 per computer, that is really the "killer" aspect of
it.
Let's look at this from a business standpoint:
Windows and Office for each computer: $400.
Training/break in time: $1000 Windows Total: $1400 per user
Linux and StarOffice for each computer: $50 (Media and such)
Support for Linux and StarOffice: $100
Training for old and new employees: $2000
Lost productivity as old employees learn new system: $5000 Linux Total: $2150 - $7150 per user
This is what companies see. Yes, Windows "costs more" ($50 vs $400) per computer, but Linux "costs more" per user ($1400 vs $2150 - $7150).

But just for you, I'll post another story
How's this Mr. AC? Keep checking my journal, I'll have more for you later.Rather than relying on software to make your decisions for you, why don't you try this new thing called "thinking?" It doesn't require electricity, so all the communist "We shouldn't pollute the environment because that blue-green algae is so cute!" idiots dance and sing and don't wear deodorant in support of it.
Become a planetary activist too. Go hug a tree today (I'd recommend a Honey Locust.)
But yeah, in all honesty I knew about these things. Just use the leading spaces in your replace rules... (Replace " it" with " he") that should make things a bit easier.
You can still get a hat-trick. A hat-trick is defined as 3 FPs in one day, not 3 FPs in a row.
I'd cuddle you, but I'm afraid I'd get lost in your bare ring.
My first experience with installing Linux was early in my college career. I'd heard great things about Linux, about how stable and powerful it was. That was just what I was looking for in an OS. I wanted something that would stay up longer than my old Windows system. I decided to go ahead and experiment with installing a totally different OS, so I decided to go for Linux. I am disappointed to say that my first attempt failed miserably. I was just too intimidated by the process. Linux seemed so complicated and I was only starting out in the alternative OS scene. I became scared, and my desire to install Linux was quickly shelved.
All throughout my college career though, my friends kept telling me about the power and stability of Linux. When I got out, I was again ready to attempt installing Linux. This time, however, I found the process much smother and easier. Linux was ready to be installed, and I was ready to install and I did so with pleasure. I found that except for a few minor differences involving my video card and sound card, Linux was the powerhouse my friends had talked about. I decided to go ahead and keep Linux for my web-server.
Little did I know how complicated Linux would continue to be. I was naïve, I was stupid, and I was ignorant. I didn't know that there were many people out there who had no desire except to take control of my web-server. I had no clue that Linux was so easily attacked. I didn't keep up with maintaining Linux's security, and in the end my system was taken away from me. Evil hackers took over my Linux and flaunted their control by changing my root password right under my nose!
I still miss my old system, but I am too afraid to install Linux again. I'm afraid it'll just be hacked again, and I'll look like an idiot one more time.
Now my friends are telling me about the strength, power, and security of FreeBSD. They say it's much less hackable, and it's just as rock-solid stable as Linux. Perhaps one day I'll be ready to experiment again, but until then I feel better with my easy Windows system.
Damn it, did I do it again? That's not at all what I meant. Please replace the above words as follows:
- Password - asshole
- Security - faithfulness
- Hackers - homosexual MBAs
- Video card - love of butter
- Strength - horniness
- Something - someone
- FreeBSD - Michael
- system - boyfriend
- Stability - manliness
- root - lover's
- Install - seduce (Modify tense as appropriate)
- An - a (Where necessary)
- Windows - Golden Shower loving
- alternative - plushophile (An explanation is available here)
- Hacked - tempted away
- OS - lover
- It - he/him (as appropriate)
- Changing - screwing
- Linux - CmdrTaco
- Web-server - beautiful arm and ass candy
- Attacked - swayed
- Stable - manly
- Sound card - distaste of Taco-Snotting
- Hackable - easily tempted
Propz to everyone who has helped me along the way. I couldn't have done it without you guys!So get ready folks, tomorrow should be a good one.
This will be my last TBJ post until that time
- FP From home
- You have beaten me to an FP?
- HAT TRICK!
It was indeed close, but I have attained the prize. 3 out of 3 for the day. ACs can all suck on my asshole until they get their just reward.Morning FP. Hit Slashdot before heading to work, pulled the FP out of my ass. I knew it was going to be a good day.
An FP taunting all the ACs attempting to get their posts in first. They can't do squat against my mighty FP power.
As soon as I saw the "Read More" on the front page, I knew I had it. Today was my day. I just barely beat MastahTrollah (A new friend) to the punch. When I posted I was 1 of 1, when I refreshed the page, I was 1 of 2.
w00t! 3 FPs in 1 day!
It is always a good day when the Spork Nation introduces a new member. Your drinks are on me tonight. Welcome to the fold.
In the spirit of camaraderie, I have added you to my friends list. Hussah!
Oh, one more FP and I get a hat trick. Don't let that stop any of you logged-in trolls/crapflooders from going for it. I'd rather be beaten by one of you guys than by a dirty AC.
I don't think so. Lick my nuts AC!
Believe me, when Windows 3.0 was being pirated like mad, creating a market for those old Excel versions, there was no training or accountability. People were used to DOS and keyboards; and what "accountability" was there for pirated software? Once a "killer app" came along, it took off.
The arguments you use here are excellent arguments for why Linux can and does do well as a server. However, they don't help Edna the Accountant out very much.
Remember, Edna is not a power user. Edna is not used to reconfiguring IIS, or Apache, or O'Reilly Website, or sendmail, or Exchange based on profiles, subnet masks, header information, etc, etc, etc. System Administrators are an interesting lot, and they love the challenge of learning and tweaking a new system.
Edna, on the other hand, doesn't care whether Exchange or Sendmail is handling her e-mail, so long as her happy forward about Joey and his paintbrush makes it to her 3 daughters in Illinois. Edna, however, is concerned by the fact that her start button has been replaced by some strange set of icons along the bottom of her screen, and the fact that her cell-formulas for calculating the interest-rate based on monthly payment have changed.
Edna doesn't want to be bothered with learning how to run XSpreadEmSheet or whatever. For her, Excel works perfectly and will continue to work perfectly. Getting Edna to change is like getting a donkey to walk down stairs. You can do it, but neither you nor the donkey will be happy doing it.
Another flaw in your argument is that you automatically assume that the difference between Windows an Linux is as pronounced as the difference between DOS and Windows. Back during that time, Windows was a very big deal. The only GUI available had been for Macs. For the first time you were able to navigate your computer without remembering long confusing paths and command line options (Server admins love command lines, Edna hates them more than vampires hate garlic). Today though, most people are plenty satisfied with what Windows and MS Office can do for them. There is very little incentive for them to change that. To them, Linux is no "killer app" (A point you do concede).
Linux doesn't, and in my opinion, will never have a "killer app". However, if you can use Linux and KDE on a desktop for basic office functions now and save $400 per computer, that is really the "killer" aspect of it.
Let's look at this from a business standpoint:
Windows and Office for each computer: $400.
Training/break in time: $1000
Windows Total: $1400 per user
Linux and StarOffice for each computer: $50 (Media and such)
Support for Linux and StarOffice: $100
Training for old and new employees: $2000
Lost productivity as old employees learn new system: $5000
Linux Total: $2150 - $7150 per user
This is what companies see. Yes, Windows "costs more" ($50 vs $400) per computer, but Linux "costs more" per user ($1400 vs $2150 - $7150).
Sayonara!
Whose Wheaties should I pee in?
