No, as that would need the introduction of a "-29101834+e - Troll" rating. Also, Slashdot would Slashdot itself due to the large number of moderations.
Hell, we might even get a world record out of it...
"Perhaps we should all think about jumping ship", eh?
What bollocks. Linux's worth as a server is not judged by its popularity, or its market share. It is, however, judged by how well it performs as a web server, and as a matter of fact it performs very well.
British parents seem to be so worried about their little girls being deflowered by the big scary paedophiles, and the tabloids (most notably the Daily Mail) are feeding on this.
The Internet is getting the short end of the stick here. We have TV ads saying that parents should continually look over their kids' shoulders to see what they are doing, and that NOONE is trustworthy enough even to talk to online.
Mother: What are you doing? Kid: I'm talking to a friend I met on the internet using ICQ. (Wave of panic spreads over parent, thinking that ICQ is some kind of dating program) Mother: Get off that computer! NOW!
The instinctive reaction is to believe the tabloid bollocks about there being 1 paedophile online for every 5 other users or some shit like that and then tarring all net users with the same brush.
I had an AlphaSmart for schoolwork once, and damn it was...OK. Three lines of display, about 30 char lines...brr...I eventually gave back the Alphasmart (it was a 3000, IIRC) and plumped for a Compaq 486 laptop with Win95 which JUST BARELY ran Word 2000 (Abiword was nice, but the school wanted Word, Excel and all that jazz). An old laptop really is a good thing to have...too bad mine snapped in half (Compaq + Anything except complete stillness in a styrofoam box = Dead laptop in pieces, YMMV).
Even so, my cousin regularly sends me mail that is full of MSN's emoticons. I tell her REGULARLY to not send me her goddamn smilies and to put plain text on, but she ignores and carries on.
By the way, this is the same person who has apparently "never had a spam email through Hotmail". Pass the cluestick.
I don't use SMP-OR RCU! In fact, I will now stick up my big, meaty, wholesome finger at SCO and ignore their whiny nastynesses!
I think we should change the topic icon for these stories. How about a jack in the box...but the "jack" looks like Darl McBride and has a Redeemer. THAT would kick ass.
A friend of mine on MSN Messenger has been using Windows Millennium for ages, with MSN/IE/Hotmail.
I told him about ICQ, and all its features. He downloaded it. He now uses it exclusively.
I told him about Mozilla, and the popup blocker facility and all of the features over IE. He downloaded it. He can't believe he missed it for all those years.
I got him to download VNC and let him have a piss about on my KDE desktop. He loved it.
He got Knoppix. The next PC he gets, he wants to get Linux w/ KDE.
You cannot be told what Linux is, and how good it is. You have to see it for yourself. Let people have a go for themselves. Show them around. Give them a Knoppix disc. Hands on experience is good experience.
?Some of the comments were really positive. People were writing things like, ?I was like him in high school,?? Baio said. ?But a lot of them ? a disturbing number ? were incredibly mean-spirited. It made me mad. All of these people calling him ?fat-ass? or ?loser,? and it's completely hypocritical ? I mean, all the traffic was coming from technology sites, videogame sites, and ?Star Wars? and ?Star Trek? sites.
I mean, come on. If you laugh at this guy because you found the link here, take a fucking look in a mirror.
You are reading SLASHDOT. You read stories about LINUX and STAR WARS and SCIFI.
I can't laugh at Ghyslain. I have the same build as him. The whole thing smacks of "Now how can we ruin this guys life in the most devastating way possible?".

I am a reel big fan of yogurt enemas and chili chips LONG LIVE MY DICK!
If you don't know WTF we're on about, haul yourself over here.
I'm sure I saw that post somewhere else...I mean, I'm sure I've seen those li...GUH?!
booooobiiiieeeessssssssss....
(wipes drool from keyboard)
Erm, yeah, well, you proved your goddamn point. HAPPY!?
We all know Who else jumped ship...to Linux :D
On that note...
Look at the second picture down...
I especially love the "WTF is going on" look on Bush's face...
How about that big ol' thingy, USENET?
Or maybe Red Hat's free support docs.
Or Google, which will search mailing list archives as well as web pages, turning up loads of help?
Also, things don't need to have a large user base to have a community.
"anybody running a website on anything other than Apache on some *nix like OS should be shot. IIS... ugh "
Replace "shot" with "nuked off the face of the planet with all the might of the US army", and "anybody running...on some *nix like OS" with "RighteousFunby's web host which makes the UNIX plans more expensive than the NT ones" and I will support you all the way.

Is anyone else reading that in their head with the voice of Dogbert from the Dilbert TV series?

Damn, that show is teh l33t

GATOR!!!
How many times have the courts told you that's a BAD THING!
In the corner, no playtime for a week.
...I'm sure the Republican's know fuck about computers-crisis averted :D
spiff g blablabla nsd
That command will unpack, configure, make and install a tar.gz package of source code. For RPMs:
spiff ri blablabla
and to remove
spiff ru blablabla
Simple, huh? Get spiff here, version 0.6 is coming out v. soon.

For "Anonymous Coward" read, "CmdrTaco on commission from VA Software".
This pisses me off. Homestar Runner is unwatchable with sound latency of about 2s, let alone my collection of *legally acquired DVD rips*
Homsar? Is that you?

Complete, hairy, dangly, gently swinging BOLLOCKS, that would make the Daily Mail cringe with embarrassment.
