It is official; Netcraft confirms: Slashdot is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Lunix community when IDC confirmed that Lunix
market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of
all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states
that Slashdot has lost more users, this news serves to reinforce what we've
known all along. LNUX is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by
failing dead last in
the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict
Slashdot's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Slashdot faces a bleak future. In fact there won't
be any future at all for Slashdot because Slashdot is dying. Things are looking very bad for Slashdot. As
many of us are already aware, Slashdot continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
BSDSlash is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The
sudden and unpleasant departures of long time *BSD developers Goatse Jones and BoyCowKneel
only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Slashdot is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
LNUX leader CmdrAnalTaco states that there are 7000 users of Slashdot. How many users of MacSlash
are there? Let's see. The number of Slashdot versus MacSlash posts is roughly in ratio
of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 MacSlash users. BSD posts on Slashdot are
about half of the volume of MacSlash posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSDSlash. A
recent article put Slashdot at about 80 percent of the Lunix market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 =
36400 Slashdot users. This is consistent with the number of Slashdot posts.
Due to the troubles of Sourceforge, abysmal sales and so on, LNUX is going out
of business and will probably be taken over by Corel who sell another troubled OS. Now Corel
is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Slashdot has steadily declined in users. LNUX is very sick and
its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Slashdot is to survive at all it will
be among anal dilettante dabblers, Smelly GNU Hippies and hardcore pedophiles. Slashdot continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could
save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Slashdot is dead.

Why do slashbots who claim to be Trekkies as well always get stuff like this wrong? How is this funny?
I'll be in the Miami bar on Putnam and Fresh Pond if anyone has an answer (yes, I actually have ID on me this time).
Sorry, but I can't see myself in a room full of pillow biters celebrating the release of an inferior and redundant product. IE works for me, and it's just as free as Blowzilla.
Why don't you take your geek shit and stick it up your ass cocknocker. Better yet, meet me on Putnam and Fresh Pond so I can beat your ass. Make sure you don't scuff my Timberlands either. I just got thrown out of Miami Bar again and I have nothing better to do than show some pennyweight bonesmuggler who's boss on this street.
Oh yeah, here's some crapflood material...
Whips & Kisses Valentine's Day can be like a box of chocolates - cloying, stale, and predictable. Miranda St. Croix, PROPELLER's Counselor/Dominatrix In Residence, explains why.
Lately I've been completely exhausted, finding it strenuous to even keep my eyes open, much less write. But since I'm a masochist, and my id can no longer be controlled, here goes.
I've recently found myself pondering the month of February and with it, Valentine's Day. Now, I'm not going to go into the history of St. Valentine's Day and what it originally meant, even though by now we should all be aware that any holiday celebrated by the Western world, especially Americans, usually has Pagan roots. Valentine's Day (or, "VD" for the jaded) is no exception. It's based on a Pagan holiday celebrated by the Romans ever since Ovid had writer's block.
(Now, all you Christians out there, don't get your knickers in a bunch. Our little history lesson is over. On to the present.)
For me, Valentine's Day has always been a holiday of mixed emotions. When I didn't have a boyfriend, I felt it was just a profit-driven Hallmark holiday blown so out of proportion that men were going bankrupt buying trinkets to avoid hearing their girlfriends/wives/mistresses/boyfriends/whatevers rag on them until next February.
Then there were the years that I had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day.
Now how I felt about Valentine's Day during any given year depended on which boyfriend I had. If he was a high school sweetheart, I thought Valentine's Day was "mint", because as a teenager in the 80's in Staten Island, MOST things were "mint". Ah yes. Sweet memories of a sweet boyfriend from high school giving me a sweet gift. God knows, I couldn't name one of the Valentine's gifts I got back then, but I do remember being happy.
Later on, there were also the somewhat more casual relationships where it was nice to go to dinner with someone, or get some flowers, a card, some chocolate or whatever. Go home, have sex, have a cigarette, get annoyed, get out. Still, life was simple. And good.
Skip ahead to January 2002 (and cue the ominous music).
After seven long years of losing myself as a person to an unbearable, unbelievably ignorant mignon who actually thinks Howard Stern is serious about everything he says, I managed to escape a hellish relationship. This has inspired the typical Mardi Gras-like festivities. However, I've realized that I had fallen into the dreaded "where's my ring?" mentality.
Oh yes, you know what I'm talking about.
I remember a conversation with my ex's sister at the beginning of our relationship where she said, about her latest casualty, "I'll never get a ring out of him."
Actually, it was more like, "Ahh, Ah'll nevah getta rahng outta hemm", but I digress.
I remember being so surprised and confused to hear those words outside the context of a movie stereotyping the attitude of the "typical" Noo Yawk girl. My response was "How about getting the ring because he wants you to have it, not because you think you earned it?" I can't describe the looks I got from the two of them but I might as well have been speaking Ubangi. And now here I am thinking, "Seven goddamned years and now I'm never getting that ring. Didn't I earn it?!"
So yes, seven years is a long time to be in a relationship. And yes, not being in a relationship after seven years is a bit like having a divorce. It's a bit strange to not come home to him, but other than that bit of weirdness, I feel an overwhelming sense of relief. I can now have intelligent conversations with various people. I've learned that my friends love me for who I am, and don't attempt to stifle me because they're intimidated by my outspokenness. I'm starting to remember that I can be a lot of fun. And I can keep my place clean because I can pick things up when they fall down, or throw fast food containers away before they age into Dadaist masterpieces.
I'm becoming me again.
Most importantly, I'm starting to realize that Valentine's Day is a hell of a lot like that ring. They're meaningless tokens unless you're happy with who you're with, and more importantly, happy with yourself. So for those of you planning an engagement ring surprise on St. Valentine's Day, remember this, the Pagan gods don't really care, and neither should you.
Yes, Miranda St. Croix is a real person, although that's not quite her real name. Yes, she's a real psychological counselor as well as a practicing dominatrix. This is Miranda's first piece for PROPELLER. It's gonna be an interesting year.
Me and the bros were just discussing this in front of the hardware store after the 104 threw us out of the CVS parking lot. I said, "How cool would it be to have a phone talk to your PS2?" and Enzo said, "Yeah man, that would be the shit, but we don't even have enough money to buy a TV because all we do is hang out on Fresh Pond 24/7/365!" but then Louie said, "Well, we could make a bunch of cash with this crapflood..."
DR. LOUIS KALU TEL:234 8023132472 FAX: 234 - 1 - 7595586 LAGOS - NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
I write you this letter of request for partnership which I hope you will give your urgent attention. We worked as members of the Contract Review/Payment Committee inaugurated by the present Democratically Elected Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria headed by General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd). We are empowered to deligently reviewed, re-appraised, scrutinized and approved contract payments to contractors who executed contracts under the past military regime and our work is almost concluded.
In the course of our work we discovered this fund, which resulted from grossly over invoiced contracts, which were executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) by a consortium of several Foreign Companies like
ABB LUMMUS, J.G.C. CORPORATION JAPAN BOUYGUES OFFSHORE AND A JOINT VENTURES OF SPIEBATIGNOLES AND DRESSER GMBH FOR:
(1) THE EXPANSION OF THE PIPELINE NETWORK WITH NIGERIA CRUDE OIL AND DOWNSTREAM PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSEQUENT EVACUATION.
(2) CONTRACT FOR THE TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE (TAM) OF THE VARIOUS REFINERIES IN THE COUNTRY.
(3) THE CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE TANKS FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (DEPOTS).
Amounting to the tune of US$255.3Million but was over invoiced to US$290Million. And we deliberately approved these payments and all contractors have been paid with these projects executed and since commissioned leaving the sum of US$34.7m floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ready to be paid for the technical services of item number 2 as stated above. Before digressing further I would want you to know that our Civil Service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign companies or operating foreign accounts while in Government service hence we are contacting you to be part of this transaction.
We intend to use you as a front to get the over invoiced amount of US$34.7Million out of the Government coffers to a designated account by you. Not regarding your field of specialization (investment) you are going to forward us with any company name that we will claim executed the technical services in the turn around maintenance of the refineries mentioned above. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days of commencement after the receipt of a positive response from you. You are going to get 25% of the fund by posing as the beneficiary of this fund while my colleagues and I will get 70% to ourselves with which we wish to invest in Agriculture and Mechanized Farming in conjunction with you and 5% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for all expenses incurred locally and internationally during the realisation of this transaction, including telephone bills, as a matter of fact you are expected to take a sincere inventory of your telephone bills.
It is imperative to let you know that I am also a project engineer with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C).
Despite researches carried out to verify and ascertain your personality we can only move ahead if you can further assure us of your transparenthonesty,diligency and promise to help and treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality. We are men of proven integrity in our various fields who have put in 22 - 30years in the Civil Service of our country, we are therefore averse to having our image and career dented. That is why we should acknowledge the fact that confidentiality is the key to the smooth conclusion of this risk free transaction.

Sweet memories of a sweet boyfriend from high school giving me a sweet gift. God knows, I couldn't name one of the Valentine's gifts I got back then, but I do remember being happy.
Later on, there were also the somewhat more casual relationships where it was nice to go to dinner with someone, or get some flowers, a card, some chocolate or whatever. Go home, have sex, have a cigarette, get annoyed, get out. Still, life was simple. And good.
Skip ahead to January 2002 (and cue the ominous music).
After seven long years of losing myself as a person to an unbearable, unbelievably ignorant mignon who actually thinks Howard Stern is serious about everything he says, I managed to escape a hellish relationship. This has inspired the typical Mardi Gras-like festivities. However, I've realized that I had fallen into the dreaded "where's my ring?" mentality.
Oh yes, you know what I'm talking about.
I remember a conversation with my ex's sister at the beginning of our relationship where she said, about her latest casualty, "I'll never get a ring out of him."
Actually, it was more like, "Ahh, Ah'll nevah getta rahng outta hemm", but I digress.
I remember being so surprised and confused to hear those words outside the context of a movie stereotyping the attitude of the "typical" Noo Yawk girl. My response was "How about getting the ring because he wants you to have it, not because you think you earned it?" I can't describe the looks I got from the two of them but I might as well have been speaking Ubangi. And now here I am thinking, "Seven goddamned years and now I'm never getting that ring. Didn't I earn it?!"
So yes, seven years is a long time to be in a relationship. And yes, not being in a relationship after seven years is a bit like having a divorce. It's a bit strange to not come home to him, but other than that bit of weirdness, I feel an overwhelming sense of relief. I can now have intelligent conversations with various people. I've learned that my friends love me for who I am, and don't attempt to stifle me because they're intimidated by my outspokenness. I'm starting to remember that I can be a lot of fun. And I can keep my place clean because I can pick things up when they fall down, or throw fast food containers away before they age into Dadaist masterpieces.
I'm becoming me again.
Most importantly, I'm starting to realize that Valentine's Day is a hell of a lot like that ring. They're meaningless tokens unless you're happy with who you're with, and more importantly, happy with yourself. So for those of you planning an engagement ring surprise on St. Valentine's Day, remember this, the Pagan gods don't really care, and neither should you.
Yes, Miranda St. Croix is a real person, although that's not quite her real name. Yes, she's a real psychological counselor as well as a practicing dominatrix. This is Miranda's first piece for PROPELLER. It's gonna be an interesting year.
Me and the bros were just discussing this in front of the hardware store after the 104 threw us out of the CVS parking lot. I said, "How cool would it be to have a phone talk to your PS2?" and Enzo said, "Yeah man, that would be the shit, but we don't even have enough money to buy a TV because all we do is hang out on Fresh Pond 24/7/365!" but then Louie said, "Well, we could make a bunch of cash with this crapflood..."

Dear Sir,
I write you this letter of request for partnership which I hope you will give your urgent attention. We worked as members of the Contract Review/Payment Committee inaugurated by the present Democratically Elected Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria headed by General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd). We are empowered to deligently reviewed, re-appraised, scrutinized and approved contract payments to contractors who executed contracts under the past military regime and our work is almost concluded.
In the course of our work we discovered this fund, which resulted from grossly over invoiced contracts, which were executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) by a consortium of several Foreign Companies like ABB LUMMUS, J.G.C. CORPORATION JAPAN BOUYGUES OFFSHORE AND A JOINT VENTURES OF SPIEBATIGNOLES AND DRESSER GMBH FOR:
(1) THE EXPANSION OF THE PIPELINE NETWORK WITH NIGERIA CRUDE OIL AND DOWNSTREAM PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTION AND SUBSEQUENT EVACUATION.
(2) CONTRACT FOR THE TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE (TAM) OF THE VARIOUS REFINERIES IN THE COUNTRY.
(3) THE CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE TANKS FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (DEPOTS).
Amounting to the tune of US$255.3Million but was over invoiced to US$290Million. And we deliberately approved these payments and all contractors have been paid with these projects executed and since commissioned leaving the sum of US$34.7m floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ready to be paid for the technical services of item number 2 as stated above. Before digressing further I would want you to know that our Civil Service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign companies or operating foreign accounts while in Government service hence we are contacting you to be part of this transaction.
We intend to use you as a front to get the over invoiced amount of US$34.7Million out of the Government coffers to a designated account by you. Not regarding your field of specialization (investment) you are going to forward us with any company name that we will claim executed the technical services in the turn around maintenance of the refineries mentioned above. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen days of commencement after the receipt of a positive response from you. You are going to get 25% of the fund by posing as the beneficiary of this fund while my colleagues and I will get 70% to ourselves with which we wish to invest in Agriculture and Mechanized Farming in conjunction with you and 5% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for all expenses incurred locally and internationally during the realisation of this transaction, including telephone bills, as a matter of fact you are expected to take a sincere inventory of your telephone bills.
It is imperative to let you know that I am also a project engineer with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C).
Despite researches carried out to verify and ascertain your personality we can only move ahead if you can further assure us of your transparenthonesty,diligency and promise to help and treat this proposal with utmost confidentiality. We are men of proven integrity in our various fields who have put in 22 - 30years in the Civil Service of our country, we are therefore averse to having our image and career dented. That is why we should acknowledge the fact that confidentiality is the key to the smooth conclusion of this risk free transaction.
Awaiting your earliest positive response.
Best regards and remain blessed.
DR LOUIS KALU
