Of course the fact that the article is accurate doesn't matter?
Enter any number of linux oriented forums, chat rooms, even ones entitled #LINUXHELP and upon asking for help your met with the chorus of RTFM.
I also find it comical that if you ask for help for things that are past the beginner skill level that the chorus of RTFM intensifies, translating into that they don't have a freakin clue either.
What's sadder, that 12 years later people are still having to ask the same questions in regards to setting up and configuring a linux system?
or
That in 12 years the writers of the various linux systems stil have yet to come up with a system that has 1/1000th the user friendly atmosphere of a windows based pc.
Why is that btw? You'd think if you wanted to expand the userbase you would work on making things more user friendly and more easily configurable, yet after 10+ years I sitll find myself editing text files to alter configurations to accomplish daily tasks.
Why though? Why is it like this?
My personal feeling is because the average linux user doesn't like the idea of *his* o/s becoming easier to use. He likes the power trip that he carries around knowing something that the average computer user has trouble grasping, it's ego.
Linux developers and users are going to cause their own demise and the stagnation of the product in the end user environment is proof of that.
Even in client server environments, why sift through endless confusing configuration files for 8 different services to get just one thing working properly. Why should I have to worry about 9 different packages and their dependencies, these are things that should all be easily automated.
The arrogance is there and will continue to be there and as long as it is there the o/s is going to fester 10 years behind.
Enjoy your chants of RTFM and N00B but take a few minutes to ask yourself why in a decade hardly anything has improved all that much.
If someone is stupid enough to not be able to realize that dancing around with a lightsaber makes one look like a god damn moron then perhaps it is time for Darwin to step in.
Common sense should start seeping in at an early age, this person was well past that age.
He's nothing more than someone trying to make a quick easy buck by suing.
Well since the people did not watch the show as it was originally aired, they already missed those ads, so where is the lost revenue from it?
Future sales of DVD's? People who enjoy things like a series usually buy the DVD sets anyway because it makes them happy to own them.
The MPAA is stepping all over fair use. The advertisers received their pay when the viewers who watched that show saw their ads. These people obviously didn't anyway.
Omg, The horror.
The pain and suffering you must be feeling because you saw a duplicate story on this site that is free.
They must be hung, they must be stopped.
Go shout RTFM around the mall, make some new friends.
Atlantis no longer exists because it was run on M$ Windows and crashed and everyone died.
This is common knowledge, they told me.
This was the first lawsuit brought against Bill Gates and is the reason he went into hybernation for thousands of years before reintroducing his operating system to an unsuspecting civilization.
Just more proof of how evil and bad that damn M$ is.
Maybe that's what you and the penguin toting lunux lunatics want but the rest of the world enjoys the conveniences and features in things, such as operating systems, web sites, etc.
We all know 99 precent of slashdot are anti-microsoft, kill the evil empire lunatics who are just wanting to have a cause because daddy and mommy didn't hug you enough or your a social outcast in school so you find a niche of other losers to "belong" to in this cause.
"Everyone Else: What excites you, does not excite us."
Please don't include the non linux lunatics in your "US" statement.
If you don't like the search engine, don't use it. It's that simple. Something you lunatics have just never grasped.
I like that comment, considering her won the popular vote by near 4 million and the GOP picked up about 7 seats in congress, after 4 years of the Democrats whining about how the country didn't want GWB, I think it's time to get a new line guys, come on you can do better.
Sleep well, part of the reason you can is because of people like Ashcroft, Bush, etc. Of course all you whiney, flag burning jackasses criticize every move everyone makes to protect us, ungrateful, unloyal, unfaithful jackasses.
Try living in another country for a few months, we'll see you banging down the door to get your citizenship back here.
I hope the draft comes and takes YOU (Yes YOU reading this) , maybe with the draft back the youth of this country can finally once again learn some responsibility rather than the road of chaos and insanity it is on.
So many of you talk like this technology should be put into Open Source.
Do me a favor and just go to another country, live there a while and then when your begging to get your citizenship back in this one, I'll be standing on the other side of the fence pointing and laughing at your used-to-be-liberal face.
I'm sure we were the only country working on this, obviously we should not make it, because noone else would and then it would be great to not have it, just peachy.
If it protects us, it's good, end of story, it has nothing to do with unconditional support or not.
Go climb back into your red hat and cast spells of destruction on Bill Gates and come back out in a few decades again, maybe then you'll say thank you to your country for all it has done for you and will continue to do for you, even if you act like a tard.
Since I am the M$ Man, I shall end this.
All linux users must do the following:
1) Place left hand in pocket.
2) Place right hand on crotch
3) Rotate furiously in a circular motion
Once you collapse from dizziness and exhaustion do the following:
1) Have a glass of cold water
2) Ask yourself if you still think everything in the world is a conspiracy?
If the answer to step 2 is:
1) No - Congratulations, you are cured and you may begin to live your life, as pitiful as it may be, to its fullest from this day forward.
2) Yes - Rinse and repeat steps 1 and 2.
If after 5 attempts the answer is still Yes, then:
1) Fill up bsthtub with water
2) Go into kitchen and get toaster
3) Plug in toaster
4) Stand in bathtub
5) Drop toaster
If the toaster landed outside of the bathtub then:
1) Ask your parents why they never played catch with you and left you alone in a room with a computer 23 hours a day.
2) Repeat step 5 until successful.
If the toaster landed in the bathtub:
1) Congratulations! You have completed your journey through life and have made the gene pool stronger.
Thank you, please come again.

Awful game.
No content.
Completely circular progression system that indunces boredom and frustration in days.
Once the awe of being in the star wars universe wears off (approximately 48 minutes) you begin to wonder why you are playing.
The only thing worse is the M$!
I heard that the new processors will only run the M# Operating systems.
I am sure this is true because M$ is of the evil.
We should all team together and protest the new M$ power of the CPU monopolization of the world empire and financial situation with the babies and Jim.
Please do not buy any CPU's in protest of the M$. Throw away your computers and buy abacus's and clear your mind and conscience and destroy the evil that consumes us.... BILL GATES.
I am the M$ Man and I approve this message becaues "they" told me that the M# is bad so therefore it is true and stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
You moron.
What your saying isn't true at all.
What else is new thought? Slashdot is just a Fark for linux geeks.
The VM restriction is dealing with actual vm's and the installation of your ALREADY INSTALLED version of the os.
I guess truth doesn't matter in linux land.
Perhaps when your done playing with your toys you'll grow up some.
Wow!
In a few more years maybe they will find out sliced bread was already invented.
In a decade or two maybe the OS will be worthy of being used by more people than
pimple faced outcasts from society.
Linux = Good os for slave server work
Linux = Piece of crap for end users
Linux = Old enough now it should be a good os to replace windows but isn't even close and in ways farther
away now then when it was released.
Linux = Tool for the RTFM crowd to feel superior.
AND NO ONE CARES! Oh except for that fat admin at your college.
Microsoft did it. Therefore it's all bad.
Don't you see?
They are evil. So therefore everything they do is wrong.
Don't you see?
I was told this by many. It must be true.
Don't you see?
It's all a Bill Gates conspiracy. I was told.
Don't you see?
Only God can save us from Bill Gates now.
Don't you see?
Microsoft is to blame for all the wrong in the world.
NOW I SEE.

I heard they used some evil M$ products during the filming of this film.
We must boycot it, as all of M$ is of the bad.
We must demand the name be changed to:
Microsoft's Guide to the Galaxy
Fight the power! They told me to!
Atlantis no longer exists because it was run on M$ Windows and crashed and everyone died.
This is common knowledge, they told me.
This was the first lawsuit brought against Bill Gates and is the reason he went into hybernation for thousands of years before reintroducing his operating system to an unsuspecting civilization.

Winamp was an awful program from the get go.
Ugly, Clunky, Buggy.
The author was a pompous arrogant ass on EFNet before Winamp was made and continued to be one afterwards.
He sold his company voluntarily and then whined like a little bitch when things wound up being done the way he didn't want them to be.
KNOCK KNOCK , You sold it, noone made you. Jackass.
Good riddance to this piece of shit mp3 player.

Microsoft funded this movie in order for there to be a character that looks and talks like Bill Gates.
He will sell Microsoft powered droids that will squash the linux competition at the Pod Races this year.
I hate M$ so much, I just hate them.
rm -rf / obviously summons the gods to do dances of joy in front of you.
I am so glad that so many people have told me just how bad M$ is, it has saved my life in so many ways.
Thank you very much.
Do me a favor and just go to another country, live there a while and then when your begging to get your citizenship back in this one, I'll be standing on the other side of the fence pointing and laughing at your used-to-be-liberal face.

Wow your a total complete moron.
Bill Gates is going to come and take away your livelihood now for being such a big ugly smelly wet penis.
You should be mad at your parents for not continuing their customs, not pointing the blame at others.
If Al-Qaida kills your family, I wouldn't shed a tear, so try not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Of course I am sure you and your country will continue to exploit our countries oppurtunities such as schooling, jobs and so on.
Of course being from NL, your family probably has a history of prostitution and robbery.
You should be proud.

That is all.
This is by far the best equation ever made. (B + I) * (L^2) * (G / A) + (T - E) * S = M$
I am sure this is true because M$ is of the evil.
We should all team together and protest the new M$ power of the CPU monopolization of the world empire and financial situation with the babies and Jim.
Please do not buy any CPU's in protest of the M$. Throw away your computers and buy abacus's and clear your mind and conscience and destroy the evil that consumes us.... BILL GATES.
