  1. 2005 - 2002 = 5 years?????? on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Pre-announcing a product and starting the hype five years before it's expected to be released...

    Slashdot's moderation mathematics at work again...

  2. Re:Bogus Logic Alert - GPL Violation Ahead! on Ransom Love's Answers About UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    The GPL does not require me to distribute binaries to everyone that wants them, it just says I and anyone else CAN distribute binaries (or derivatives) and must make the source code available.
    Mr. Love is banking on the fact that many business will pay to avoid the headache of compiling sources, avoiding incompatibilities, and gave support for their systems.
    He said they would make the source available for all open-source software.
    I, for one, wish them well

  3. Re:Software is bad because it's not a science on Why (Most) Software is so Bad · · Score: 2, Funny
    It's neither mass produced art nor is it artistic engineering nor is it special or inciteful. It's an ordinary product made by people who have to be extraordinary simply to overcome all of it's other failures. It's the dancing bear - interesting not because it dances so well but because it dances at all. It is a controlled crash.

    I think I got something very similar to this in an email about how friends are friends forever or something....
