It is official; Slashdot confirms: Anonymous posting is dying
One more crippling
bombshell hit the already beleaguered Anonymous posting community when IDC confirmed that
on-topic Anonymous posting has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of
all comments. Coming on the heels of a recent Slashcode change which plainly forces
Trolls To post Anonymously at 0 rather than at -1, this news serves to reinforce what we've
known all along. Anonymous posting is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by
failing dead last
in the recent Monotony Report comprehensive Karma Whoring test.
You don't need to
be a Karma Whore to predict Anonymous posting's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: Anonymous posting faces a bleak future. In fact there won't
be any future at all for Anonymous posting because Anonymous posting is dying. Things are looking very
bad for Anonymous posting. As many of us are already aware, Anonymous posting Trolls continue to waste time. Mod
points flow like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Troll leader Jamie McCarthy states that there
are 7000 Trolls. How many on-topic AC's are there? Let's see. The number of
Troll posts versus on-topic comments posted at 0 is roughly in ratio of 50 to 1. Therefore there are
about 7000/50 = 140 on-topic AC's. AC's that get modded over +2 are about half of the volume
of on-topic posts. Therefore there are about 70 slashbot AC's. A recent article put
Crapflooders at about 80 percent of the Anonymous posting volume. Therefore there are (7000+140+70)*4 =
28840 Crapflooders. This is consistent with the number of -1 posts.
Due to the troubles of VA Software, abysmal sales and so on, OSDN went out
of business and was taken over by AOL who run other troubled websites. Now AOL
is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major
surveys show that Anonymous posting has steadily declined in signal to noise ratio. Anonymous posting is very sick and
its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Anonymous posting is to survive at all it will
be among the slashdot janitors. Anonymous posting continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle
could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Anonymous posting is dead.

Like a bowl of fresh fruit suddenly alone in the Arctic night, like a killer under arrest for an unrelated misdemeanor, like a flightless bird thrown up into the air by a cruel child, like an abandoned car in the middle of a huge, empty parking lot, like a juggler dreaming of being tied down, like a young priest watching porn in th eearly morning, I sit in my booth and decide nothing.

Stupid fucks. Which version is actually going to be useful? 8.3? 10.2?
see my other comment for a link to the entire thing... it's just above yours... hth
if i ever meet ILT i will RAPE HIS ASS!

Hey! That's really cool and the best part is you didn't just cut and paste it from some other site like certain other people.
is here. It's a bit out of date though, perhaps some one could update it?
Ifthedesignersof X-Windows built cars, there would beno fewer thanfive steeringwheels hiddenaboutthecockpit, noneof which followedthesame principles-- but you'd beable toshiftgearswith yourcarstereo.Useful feature,that.
- Marus J.Ranum, Digital Equipment Corporation
X-Windows istheIran-Contraof graphical userinterfaces:atragedyof political compromises,entangledalliances, marketing hype, and justplaingreed. X-Windows isto memoryas RonaldReagan was tomoney. Years of"VoodooErgonomics"have resultedin anunprecedentedmemory deficit ofgargantuan proportions.Divisive dependencies, distributed deadlocks,andpartisan protocols havetightenedgridlocks, aggravatedrace conditions, and promulgated doublestandards.
X has had its share of$5,000 toiletseats-- likeSun'sOpen Lookclocktool,whichgobblesup 1.4 megabytes ofreal memory! Ifyousacrificed all the RAM from22 Commodore 64s toclocktool,it still wouldn'thave enoughto tellyouthetime.Even the vanilla X11R4 "xclock"utilityconsumed 656Kto run.AndX'smemory usage isincreasing.
X:TheFirstFullyModularSoftware Disaster
X-Windows started out asoneman'sprojectin anoffice onthefifthfloorof MIT's LaboratoryforComputer Science.Awizardly hacker, who was familiarwith W,awindow systemwrittenat StanfordUniversity aspart oftheVproject, decided towriteadistributedgraphicaldisplayserver.Theidea was toallowaprogram, calledaclient,to run ononecomputer and allow itto display onanothercomputer thatwasrunningaspecialprogramcalled a windowserver.Thetwocomputersmightbe VAXes orSuns,or one ofeach,as longas the computers werenetworkedtogether and eachimplementedtheXprotocol.
[Footnote:We havetriedto avoid paragraph-lengthfootnotesin thisbook,butXhasdefeated usby switching the meaning ofclient and server. Inallotherclient/serverrelationships, the serveris the remotemachinethat runstheapplication(i.e., the serverprovides services, suchas databaseserviceor computational service). For someperverse reasonthat's betterleft totheimagination, X insists oncallingtheprogramrunningon the remotemachine"the client."This program displaysitswindowson the "window server."We'regoingto followXterminologywhen discussinggraphicalclient/servers.So whenyousee"client" think "theremote machine where the application isrunning,"andwhen you see "Server"think"the local machine thatdisplays outputandacceptsuser input."]
The NongraphicalGUI
X was designedto run three programs: xterm,xload, and xclock. (Theidea ofawindow manager was added asan afterthought, and itshows.)Forthefirstfewyearsof its development atMIT, these were, infact,theonly programsthat ran under the windowsystem.Notice thatnone oftheseprogramhave any semblance ofagraphicaluser interface (except xclock),only one oftheseprograms implementsanything inthewayof cut-and-paste (andthen,only a singledata typeis supported), and noneof themrequires a particularlysophisticatedapproach tocolormanagement.Is itanywonder,then,that these are all areas inwhichmodern X falls down?
Ten years later,most computers running X run justfour programs: xterm,xload, xclock, and a windowmanager. And mostxtermwindowsrunEmacs! X has tobe the mostexpensivewayever ofpoppingup anEmacswindow.It surewouldhave beenmuch cheaper and easierto put terminalhandling inthekernel where itbelongs, ratherthan forcing peopleto purchaseexpensivebitmappedterminalsto run character-based applications. Ontheotherhand,then users wouldn'tgetallof those uglyfonts. It'satrade-off.
The Motif Self-AbuseKit
X gaveUnix vendors something theyhadprofessedto wantforyears: a standardthat allowed programsbuiltfordifferentcomputersto interoperate. But itdidn't givethem enough. X gaveprogrammersawayto display windows and pixels, but itdidn't speak tobuttons, menus,scroll bars, oranyof the other necessary elementsof a graphical userinterface. Programmers inventedtheirown. SoontheUnix community had six orso different interface standards.Abunchof peoplewhohadn't written 10linesof codein asmany years set upshop inabrickbuilding inCambridge, Massachusetts,that was the formerhome ofafailed computercompanyandcame upwith a "solution:" the OpenSoftware Foundation'sMotif.
WhatMotifdoes ismake Unixslow.Real slow. A stateddesign goalof Motif was togive the X WindowSystem the windowmanagement capabilitiesof HP'scirca-1988 windowmanagerandthevisual eleganceof Microsoft Windows.We kid you not.
Recipefordisaster:startwith the Microsoft Windows metaphor, which was designedandhand coded inassembler. Build something ontopof three orfour layersof X tolook likeWindows.
