No, seriously. I was just thinking this morning about how I'd love to set up Fedora on a lab computer (so that other people can oogle at the Beauty, and not be confused by the much cooler Debian) if only apt-get was available... but this is so much cooler! Thank you, Autopackage!

Now watch, as this post shall slowly be moderated underground to the cheers of Slashdotians everywhere...
(Parent is actually quite funny, if you're into that sort of thing. "The rest is history"? But it only happened a couple of years ago! And "SPAM"? Geeks should know better...)

Yes, it's true. We're evil. We were hoping nobody would notice, but I guess you found us out. Ah well, too bad. Back to pillaging, raping women and children and all the other evil things we Oxfordians get up to.

Pish. I wants a good, ol'-fashioned WAVE file which I can cat directly to /dev/sound - and I wants it now! >:D
First came love,

Then came marriage,
Then came Satan.
Then came IE. And people wanted Satan back
Yes, a few. :)
I think GP was saying "who modded this 'troll'". On slashdot, you always have to look really hard to see punctuation :P ...
Hehe ... no, no, Hardware is for biology stuff, Apple is for Microsoft stuff, and Politics is for prop. formats! Sheesh, is that so hard?
Err ... maybe they want us to imagine a Beowulf cluster of those?
This is why you must never, ever, ever attempt to RTFA. It's just easier this way :)
Trust me, it's a real name.

Ah well.

Slashdot.
Do you really.
Expect any better?
You almost had me there, Bezos ...

Well, that's a patent to patent patents, I think it's enough to prove prior art to your idea
Dude - same species! Trust me ...

No, no, in Old Kent Ridge^W^W^W Ridge View Residences now.
"Do you believe that is a God?"

Knuth, "Yes I do."
What I wouldn't give to know what the two of them were looking at
Funny stuff :).
Let's clean up this s***!
