  3. What is Michel Thinking? on XBox Linux HOWTOs · · Score: 1
    'There's also a story about the XBox online gaming service that implies Microsoft will be scanning your machine to make sure you haven't modified it, but we can't link to it since silicon.com has some sort of stupid registration requirement. Anyone find the story elsewhere?'

    What is Michael thinking? Alienating another site is no way to drive revenue. Good God man, take a moment and think. Sure we all agree that registering for something and contributing are no way to run a site. With regards to the upcoming Subscription Plums here, your remark is quite contradictory. The ad revenue must be through the roof you ingrate. Please excuse my rant everyone, but I found that "stupid" statement especially offensive and crude. Perhaps I am wrong for holding the Editors to a higher standard, but it is my belief that they set the tempo and theme to this site by their choice of "news", moderation, and by editorial license. Before anyone says "if you don't like it leave", please note that I have subscribed with another account, I help fund this debacle. Fell free to contradict me.
  4. Linux on an XBox Possibilities are... on XBox Linux HOWTOs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Nil. I thought by now that linux is for dirty unemployed hippies that can neither afford a real computer nor a real OS. Post more 'i gots lunix runing on this computer my skool was throwing away cauze it was old and no gud'. Damn, and Xbox id for gaming, Linux is for poor people that cannot afford (see poor dirty hippies) a "real" Unix box, and Windows is for gaming, email, and browsing on a PC.

    Now begone with your gayness!

    Check Netcraft for Confirmation. On another note this article supports an earlier survey here regarding the Enterprise environment and Networking. This is a 29 page PDF report from March. Biggest drivers: Cost and Ease of use. The report is a good read. A look at the source, and not a reporter's digestion of the facts.

  8. Reuters is carrying the story on RIP: Leonard Zubkoff · · Score: -1, Troll

    and has information that the men were attempting to join the "Mile High Club". I do not know what this club is, but I suspect it has to do with Linux and lonely grown men.

    TTR is currently fucking your mother. If this is legit; then HELLL yeah. Go kill yourself now fag and consider what "legit" means to you. AKA as groupthink and slashbotting.

  10. Motives, considering that MS is a SCTA partner... on Linux and Public Access Computing? · · Score: 2, Troll

    As evidenced here , MS has already placed a significant stake with the SCTA. With this understanding, and their advocacy of .NET, is this another Junis Post? I mean, I would definately anticipate the editors have researched this submission. Click through their site (SCTA) and consider the question from this point of view:What is the biggest threat to MS. Who do you ask, and who will most likely define the weaknesses.

    Please analyze the facts before you mod.

  11. Re:Opensource on Tim O'Reilly Bashes Open Source Efforts in Govt · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ironically you mention gnu. This immature and biased attack by michael towards Tim is totally unwarranted. Michael is showcasing as an example of Tim's point. I believe it is in poor taste to attack, alienate, and question the motives of Tim who has provided phenomenal support for the open source movement. OSCON?

  12. Invest in a Personal Trainer on Exercise for Geeks? · · Score: 2

    This is someone that can assist you in following a solid diet/exercise plan. Additionally, a trainer will ensure that you are exercising effectively, and correctly thus less likely to injure yourself. Nothing as dicouraging as an injury to sour someone to fitness.

    C'mon. How is this news? We are well aware the the FTC, SEC, FCC, FBI, and EIEIO, are all conducting investigations right now. What about a YRO story from Reuters and how Washingtonpost.com is requiring personal data?

  14. Re:The Cause Revealed? on Linux Sales Down, But... · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Please note: With the withering sales of Linux, and the fiscal challenges faced by the crusaders of an alternative business model, it comes a time to reevaluate the "free" definition. Free as in beer is killing free as in speech. Now, get off your wallet you cheap fucks and BUY what you need. Donate to struggling linux sites, and subscribe for ad free content. Really, what do you think Slashdot needs, corporate checks or paypal funded blocks. Sheesh.

  15. Re:OT: USian on A Contrarian View of Open Source · · Score: 2

    Exactly: This is an example of typical natiocentricical thinking. This even trickles to the state level, i.e., californitinos, louisiajuns, and canaminesottians to name a few.

    The USian reference is a deunificating process by which the majority befog political borders.

    Be sure to visit Bruce at his site. He is a Texican. :)

    For Clarity:
    I too was going to write a fictional blog community. Eventually this idea morphed into a rampant homoerotic tale rife with auto erotic asphyxiation and manham canning sessions. It appears that this idea is inherently homosexual and anyone that persues this avenue of creativity is either a repressed and in denial, or blatant Fag. Best of luck to you Mary.

  25. Your boss should recognize the efforts. on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have seen this happen before. The project manager, or the Department Head will eventually recognize who have not pulled their weight. This is what we managers cover in "milestone overviews". These are Pre-planned development gauges to ensure that collaborative efforts synchronize. Additionally, they provide hard data at review sessions and for salary matrixing. Motivating your co-developers is not your job, leave that to the manager. That is what s/he gets paid for. Do your part, collect your pay, and just gut it out. Eventually the less apt and inconsistent performers will be out the door. Hell, in this market there are 10 COMPETENT developers waiting for a shot.
