Scientists have reported today that Holand Piquepaille, perennial Slashdot whore and troll, has finally grasped the concept of $0.
"It's amazing", reported one scientist. "Although usually it takes human-level intelligence to grasp the concept of submitting news articles without any chance for a monetary return, we were able to teach the concept to Holand Piquepaille."
Unfortunately, the results are not yet conclusive, and it remains to be seen whether or not Holand Piquepaille will return all the money he duped out of people for looking at primidi.com. Scientists are hopeful, but note, "This is the first time that this concept has ever been documented in this particular species of whore, so we still need lots more evidence for the data to be conclusive."
Another researcher pointed out: "Holand has demonstrated the concept of $0, but we're not sure if he's grasped what he wanted him to, or if he's just hit on related themes like 'The amount of value my posts add to Slashdot'."
Scientists hope that further research will prove that Holand is destined to lead a life of future altruism. Keep your hopes up!
hey...this really is an accomplishment. This isn't people we're talking about, it's [i]parrots[/i]. Even if they did have the intellectual capacity to grasp "sedenions", they certainly haven't had a high enough level of education.
Great desktop distros like Ubuntu, FC4, and Mandrake can. Enterprise ones can't. I would hope anyone making these types of decisions in the [b]enterprise[/b] already knows what Linux is. Niche distros like Gentoo can't really help either (it could actually be because Gentoo sucks, but that's another story altogether.)
What? Everything he says applies to me too. You may have been trying to be funny, but compared to other Windowses, XP is excellent. And of course all modern software works fine, and most old software can be made to work (e.g. Visicalc). If not, it's usually the software's fault.
I don't have any broken DVDs, to my knowledge. Keep them all in the case. If you don't have that, go down to $COMPUTER_STORE and buy 100 disc sleeves or whatever. Enjoy your DVDs for years to come.
What's your point? That Microsoft isn't allowed to include new features with IE7/Longhorn? Get your head out of the FLOSS propaganda for one second and you'll see why your statement was dumb.
Shuddupa you mouf Shuddupa you mouf Shuddupa you face Shuddupa you face Shuddupa right now Shuddupa right now You big fat dumb cow You big fat dumb cow//sing to whatever tune you like
Why, because you have a choice? In Windows you don't have to use the command line, in Linux you do. In Windows you still can as much as you like, though.
He thinks we should all go live in a lame but fully libertarian society where all we can do to escape the madness is dick around in an alternate online reality, getting infected by viruses along the way.
Is anyone here from Alaska? If so, can you tell me why there are so many dark green Subarus there? Thanks.

I'm going to try to make sense of our post, which is not a trivial task. I'm an American and I love America, by the way. I just don't agree with you.
Don't blame the UN, eh? I didn't see Russia, or South Africa, or France, or Belgium, or any other country doing jack fucking shit to help the people of Sudan. What's your point? Because no one else helps we shouldn't either?
The only "big part" of the UN the United States plays is its seat on the security council and the assload of money we hand over to the useless, corrupt ambassadors of the rest of the world so they can buy their children faster cars. I'm not real sure what this has to do with your point (if you have one). Anyway, the UN has done some good. Look at the WHO as an earlier poster pointed out. It's not just a big money hole that does nothing, although it has been corrupt in the past. Oh, right, so has the US government. Remember the Nixon administration? Our government is not the saint you think it is.
This is the fucking problem with the rest of the world. You bastards are too fucking lazy/appeasing/pussy to stand up against ANY wrong doing. The second someone does stand up to fix a broken region of the world, you all harp in about how self cenetered and evil they are. You totally fucking ignore whatever evils are being comitted, and turn on whoever is doing something like a pack of wild dogs suddenly turning on its own. When did America stand up to fix a broken part of the world? No, really? Don't say Iraq. That was for oil and nothing else and you know it. Deep down, you know it. Why aren't we helping the areas that are even MORE broken than Iraq but would cost less to fix? Oh, right, oil.
Yeah, I think what happened in Sudan was terrible. There's not a lot I can do about it, however. But saying America did nothing - what, we're supposed to police the hole fucking world so that everytime some group of backwards, cave dwelling fundamentalists decide to go to war with their neighbour, it's our fucking fault? What the fuck do you think the UN was created for? Earlier you say we should stand up to evil and fix broken parts of the world, now you basically say "What, we're supposed to police the whole... world?" I can't really argue against two different opinions so pick the one you're going with.
Now you go into an anti-Islamic rant that I'm not even going to bother pasting. Again, I'm not real sure what your point is.
Don't fucking defend the UN when they fail to do their job by trying to make this the United States or any other countries fault. The people at fault here are those who are comitting the attrocities in the Sudan, and its the responsibility of the UN to keep the peace. (SURPRISE! That's why they call them UN Peacekeepers!) Why don't you apply this logic to Iraq, and let the UN do its job there? Oh, right, oil. When the UN doesn't do its job in one area (in your opinion) we should invade and "fix" it ourselves, but when it doesn't do its job in another area we should just stick our thumbs up our nether regions and wait for someone else to fix it?
In conclusion: I know you're smarter than this. Realize your potential by thinking for yourself and not letting the Bush administration form your opinions for you. We may still disagree, but at least you'll be worth arguing with.
Huh? Your "understanding" of extremely basic economics is fatally flawed.
If I train for years to become a pen twirling champion, do you think I've added value to our country? No, actually, I haven't. The difficulty of doing something has nothing to do with the amount of value it adds.
Same thing, Bush prepared to be President his whole life.

Anyone want to enlighten me on what the unintended pun was?
Some piece of software doesn't work on Linux! Stop the presses! Call CNN! MOST IMPORTANT: Submit it to slashdot!
Seriously... mod me down if you like, but aren't Linux on desktop users already accustomed to not having access to all the software they want to use?

Yes. Highly anticipated.

Your English teacher was quite wrong.

I really have no clear idea what this has to do with anything.

1) His gf cut it off
2) She flushed it down the toilet
3) They found it, presumably in the sewers
4) They put it back on
I would. I'm sure they could wash it off quite well. And think about it: this is your penis we're talking about.
