hi I use gentoo I love it. but I saw linux and package management in the title of this article and I just wanted to ask all the other gentooers out there to please shut the hell up about portage in this discussion. I can hear the keyboards of thousands of gentoo newbies typing messages right now to say blah blah portage blah blah emerge. but that will just prompt more waiting to compile jokes. please guys I know its a great system. but shut the hell up. you are making everyone hate us. yes it has good package management... maybe the best. but in recent months even I a huge gentoo fan have been annoyed by the gentoo users claiming they have the answer to everyones problems. please... it is not for everybody. shut up.
GREAT. more software that lets me steal things so easily that I feel persecuted when I am prosecuted for it. I used to steal software a lot... then I started using linux. now I steal pr0n instead.
well now I need a new hard drive. if the library of congress say... doubles in size... then my hard drive will hold half as many libraries of congress.
I predict this will be known to future generations as data inflation. your money is worth less cause the government screws with the dollar.... and your hard drive is worth less cause they screw with the library of congress.
see.... I told you guys we should have elected kerry. we elected bush and now he is gonna screw up all the internets.
Everyday I load slashdot hoping that I will see the top story is something about some common sense creaping into our society. I guess my faith in humanity is misplaced.... oh well.... lets see, what would cheer me up? OH GOOD! my download of the Return of the King just finished!
I keep hearing about how the game cube is dead and there are NO good games... buy an xbox etc....
I am sick of it. there are some great games for gamecube still being released. this is a PRIME (/me ducks) example. PSOIII is also a good example IMHO. these games really are breaking ground if you ask me. yes this particular game may be similar to prime1 but I don't see anyone else in the industry making games like these.
besides. any system that you can play Ikaruga on is not dead!
what a bunch of crap. The governments won't spend the money to hire people good enough to find all that is wrong with this code... not only that, but the majority of security flaws aren't gonna be found in a office suite... they will be found in the OS/server/browser software. So when all is said and done on this deal MS will just have more "evidence" that their software is safe. Those bastards make me sick.
MICROSOFT: if you want your softare to be more secure why don't you let US take a look at the code. fine keep the license... but if you had good code you shouldn't mind us taking a peek... or would we find too many dangerous flaws?
Insiders report that an even MORE amazing technology is in the works for next year:
Disney scientists have completely solved the nasty safety and environmental issues caused by using actual fire. Next year all fire will be replaced by those flappy cloth things they sell at the mall with colored lights under them.
to prevent The obvious noise problems the devices will simply be thrown into the air by the technician in a juggling fashion. To preserve the traditional level of entertainment the technician will whisper "boom" each time he throws a device.
I hope this exciting new technology becomes more common in the next few years.
wow what a neat new computer.
and to think it is powered by an army of men on bicycles, getting paid nine cents a day, and eating nothing but soilent red.
yes chalk up another big breakthrough for china.
ok.. I admit it... I am bitter. My job building computers got outsourced to china recently.
shouts to all my fellow high school class of '99 nerds out there who were 10 years to late. Would you guys like fries with that?
--hardly anyone uses the command line for things like file management anymore.--
I am hardly nobody, and I do all MY file managing at the command line... along with just about everything else. I am sure people like me aren't THAT rare.
anyway the nice thing about linux now is that we can set it up how we like. If you like to call/usr/bin something like/fart/knocker for example, I am sure it could be done. I can see where naming the directory structure more descriptively would make it easier for n00bs, however, I am no longer a n00b and it would drive me nuts to try to learn new directory names. I am sure that lots of people like me will resist this change and we will have yet another choice to make when installing linux. Fine... fragment off... name stuff however you want... WHO CARES ABOUT STANDARDS.... I mean this philosophy has worked fine for microsoft.
Yes choice is nice... but please be careful people, the last thing we need is another rediculous naming convention out there.
Hi, I am a gentoo user. I love it. but as I read the comments on this story I now understand why other linux users are annoyed with us. Even *I* am a little annoyed after reading this preachy stuff. Gentoo is great. If you don't like it... don't use it. If I run across someone that needs some help with it... By all means, I am happy to help. but PLEASE stop trying to convert everyone. I don't want to be part of the jehova's witness group of the linux world.
I'll go.
I even promise to walk around all stiff legged like a robot.
I only ask that you pay me whatever you were going to spend on that robot... or twice as much to my family if I die on the mission. (they need some incentive to bring me back I think).

thanks, sincerely, uglyman
you don't have to put up with any of this crap to play bzflag or cube or abuse_sdl or chromium... I can live without valve/steam/HL2 etc.
HAHA. I thought that looked funny. thanks for the grammer help. I am too drunk
This story makes me want to try crack, more than it makes me want to quit whacken. pr0n is just sooooo good.
Was cyclotron the name of the bad guy leader in the show go-bots... or does my memory decieve me?

yes. That is why I said ANY system. not THE system.

I was just trying to think of the name of "Max Headroom" a few minutes ago...... I was having a conversation on ICQ about quantum leap....
oh... nevermind.
isn't there a bunch of problems with EMI here? I thought this stuff needed to be surrounded by something conductive. oh well... back to bzflag
I'll go.
