Post Early: If an article has over a certain number of posts on it already, yours is less likely to be moderated. This is less likely both statistically (there are more to choose from) and due to positioning (as a moderator I have to actually find your post waaay at the end of a long list.)
Post Often: If you only post once a month you can expect your karma to remain low. Also, lively discussion in an open forum is what makes Slashdot really "Rock the Casbah."
You know, I'm really glad the human race took so long to get here. It was a good idea to wait until crazy shit like this died off. I get freaked out by cockroaches, can you imagine 2 1/2 meter scorpions cruising around your kitchen? That's the stuff nightmares are made from.
You're aware that the Unix started out as proprietary software, no?
This whole "it's proprietary, therefore not unix" thing is total bullshit. Unix has had a long history, and much of it has been owned by one company or another. One would think that you, the purported unix fanatic, would appreciate someone bringing a unix to the desktop, but you don't. You don't want good software, you want a good license. You just can't judge the technical merits of something based on it's gnu/ethical value.
I've got news for you : RedHat/Mandrake/whoeverthefuck does open source because they'd be crushed otherwise. They don't hold any of your gnu/ideals, they want to make money, the same as Apple.

Maybe you should read the trolls, tho. We're reading you.
Raw Unix? Exactly what is that? By your logic, since StarOffice runs in a window manager, it's not running on unix.
But, you've included a delightful selection of links in your post, so you're +5 insightful. I, on the other hand, disagree, and am therefore -1 Flamebait. If we get visited by an especially stupid mod (which is something like an especially stinky fart: even the best are pretty bad), I might be -1 Offtopic. Only time will tell.
Well, you'd have to port the whole damned window server, something Apple is wisely keeping to themselves.
You'd have to have a carbon API, too.
I guess it applies for certain values of 'eazy'.
But why would you need to? Linux guys have StarOffice, don't they? I love when a software's most touted feature is that it can read it's competitor's formats.
I had posted a few decent comments, and my karma was almost at 0 again.
Then I posted a few lighthearted trolls. Nothing too serious. Some vindicative mod went through all my past posts that had been 0 and offtopiced them. So now I'm back down to -7.
Thank you, anonymous mod, for reminding me that my efforts to be a good poster were not appreciated. Thank you for giving me every reason to be a troll. It's nice to know that you care.
So I'm giving up my goodness. No more insightful or funny or informative posts from me. It's all trolls from here.

I like linux!
and stuff
I think the need to be distracted is something we won't see in AI. Why would a machine get bored?

I take my whole office offline just to get a new ip, just to troll. Got nothing else to do.
Fuck bans. Fuck them hard.
What makes a forum truly open if people get banned for 'excessive bad posting'? I thought we had a moderation system to take care of this.
These are all valid questions.
Nice one, lunchy.
I got banned. Let this be a lesson : keep your karma low

Hi there. It's one thing to not read the linked article. It's quite another to not read the post.

"Oh well, trolls can ask good questions, too."
I admit, when nothing interesting is going on here, I'm a full time idiot. I have a very boring job.
If I wasn't so damned lazy, I'd post from my +1 bonus account.
With all the quartz goodness in Office X, getting things working anywhere else would be an awful lot of work.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be worth it, though. Office X is so yummy you almost forget it's Microsoft.

This is how business works.

Ted Nelson was great in his Cheers days.
Never really liked Stanford and Sons, though. To each his own, I guess.
I just violated that patent, actually. It's amazing how a little jaunt to the office bathroom can change your outlook on things.
Suck my ass, mods.
and the code is:
ipfw add 0 deny udp from any to any 2222
ipfw add 0 deny tcp from any to any 3464
good thing i've got this cracked version, then.
