Look, it's the one day of the year that the Slashdot editors can get away with posting incoherent and/or unsubstantiated rubbish bearing little — if any — resemblance to the truth. So let them have their fun, OK?
Yes, I went there too. Perturb'd, I was. On a more rational note, I am announcing auditions for an equine synth-pop group based in the Wirral, called the "OMD Ponies".
Yes, yes, I know about the makeover... I was just wondering if there was any "prior art" on the "OMG!!! Ponies!!!" bit (like a quote from some semi-Internet-famous blog entry).
We recognise the humour, but consider it to be a crap, sub-standard joke; therefore we will respond with our own superiour humour solutions, many of which will be copylefted Free Jokes.
we can be virtually assured they will rebel against MS as adolescents and grow up to be Linux developers!
That would be the ultimate kick in his gelatinous belly. Almost as bad as:
One of Ballmer's kids walks in from school, wearing black make-up, trench-coat and hair, with multiple body piercings.
Steve. Say, why have you come home from school looking like that? I told you, this is a conformist household. No Google, no iPod.
Kid. Muuuuhh! [Slinks off.]
Steve. Hey! I'm talking to you, come back here. I don't like you getting involved with all that "goth" business... say, what's that hanging out of your bag?
Kid.[Shyly] Oh that... that's nothing. [Kid tries to scamper away, but Steve grabs it by the arm, and takes the object.]
Steve.[Disappointed] Oh, no. I don't believe this. Didn't your mother and I tell you? I mean... how could you?
Kid. What? They're just install disks—
Steve. For FreeBSD 6.0!
Kid runs away. Steve tries to pick up a dinner chair, but realises it has been bolted to the floor.

So you let people shit through you as well?
Really? I thought CTLR, He Whose Name Should Not Be Spoken, took a rib from VMS and from that created the Image of NT.
So where the fuck did NT come from?

Something tells me that "OMG!!! Ponies!!!" is going to be rattling around this place for years to come.
I think I must've missed something here. What is it with this "OMG!!! Ponies!!!" business anyway? Is it this season's "All Your Base"?
Theo de Raadt announces he intends to become a monk.
Especially after you rejected that story I submitted with a Goatse link.
Or who knows the buzzwords, has an inkling about the technology, but overestimates the ability of others to identify deadpan humour.
Note to self. Punctuate gags better.
Why have 5000 render nodes when you could virtualise with 250 physical processors running 20 apiece?
So do I. For all that wonderful PaX business, code auditing, and other hardening, you'd think de Raadt would code an "anti chain-yank" filter.
...It's an OpenBSD wannabe with the hardware and application support?

So what is OS X? A VMS offshoot? Grandparent is a total disclosure zealot. I don't condemn the grandparent for having this attitude.
