The phrase "open source software" does not occur in the article. "Open source" does, but each time it clearly refers to information, not software.
It does occur in the slashdot summary, but that's most likely due to author seeing 2 + 2 and getting 5. Maybe you should learn the difference between the "artical" and a second-hand precis written by someone who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about?
If J. Random Nobody made the same comments on his blog, people would pretty much ignore it.
Except the slashdot editors, who would post it as a story. Especially if the random nobody happened to be the daddy of all random nobodies, that pencil-necked dork by the name of Roland Niquetamere.
Less noticed was the fact that an important economic stimulus bill adopted by the legislature lacked the amendment that sought to gut the power of the State CIO to set any new IT policies that might require compliance with certain standards (like ODF) or favor open source software.
Nice writing. I had to draw a Venn diagram, a state table and a probability tree to work out whether the bill is good for M$ or not. And I'm still not sure.
The only technology trends I need is the magnificent Roland Piquepaille's site. It's great! You don't have to go searching all over the web for content - Roland kindly copies it all and puts it in his blog.
lots of planets between here and nearby stars. That would make interstellar travel considerably easier because humanity could move outwards very gradually.
Humanity better remember to take thermal underwear, then. Maybe an extra sweater too.
"Here we go: you can exchange comments, pictures, plan on activities together, etc."
Like, whoop de fuckin doo, man. You could equally (and in my opinion it's by far the better option) just not fucking bother(tm). The same thing applies to reading the article and, might I add, writing the tedious pile of astroturd and shillshit in the first place.

You appear to have misspelled "copies and pastes".
+1 well said. Though frankly I think he's flattering editors in general if he thinks they could catch tricks like this.
Try your local McDonald's. In the staffroom.
Hang on. A sensible first post and it still gets modded to fuck? Mods on crack again it seems.
Seconded.
Q: What's the difference between Zonk and a huge pile of shit?
A: Even a gardener doesn't think Zonk is useful.
No. I'd say it's an extreme understatement.

And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
Millions of them, but they'll all be dupes.

That never stopped most of the submitters. Or you could always just copy-paste it direct from the original article like Roland Piquepaille does.
For example - singular: andymadigan sucks [a¦the] horse's penis.
Plural: andymadigan blows goats.
Note how the article, particularly the indefinite one, is usually omitted in the latter case.
It's a lack of ability, talent and equipment.
