Because only nerds use Gentoo. It has no place on servers and no place on desktops. The benefits of Gentoo are vastly outweighed by its extreme shortcomings.
...or have done, really.
The language is a bastard child of C, basically. Its major problem is its lack of arrays; you have a strange construct called a list that sort of does the same thing, but I really don't know why it's there instead of arrays.
LSL is fairly underpowered. What I've taken to doing is using its HTTP system, though, to ping my web server, do something, and feed it back into the game. To do anything really impressive with LSL, it does seem to take an outside server to do the heavy lifting.
It's kind of fun, though...
Best thing around. "Tell me how to do X!" Give 'em the link, and they either realize that they've been assholes, apologize, and try again, or they storm off in a huff and never come back. Both are good.

You can't break the rules when a technical failure hits. Switching now will save a lot of trouble later on, when the entire damned thing goes tits-up.
Protip: As soon as you say "Zionist," you give yourself away as a fucking loon.
Food for thought.
How's that apply? I'm a little lost on that.
Why load Windows just to play a game when I can literally use it for everything I need?
Because what you need will disappear under the weight of crud and cruft in the future? An ounce of prevention, and all that.
How about an OS that actually has a userbase? eComStation sucks.
Linux and solaris should be friends, the enemy here are non-GPL operative systems.
Oh, so BSD is an enemy, because it doesn't kowtow to Richard Stallman?
You zealots make me purge.
Recent decline? You must be new here!
The 12WPM typists of the world no longer must feel slow!
Unless I read that very wrong, that seems to be the indication.
Spooky.
I actually could not suppress a wince. Not kidding.
AND WELFARE MAMAS CAN HAVE AN EXTRA HALF-DOZEN CHILLUNS! (Food for the lameness filter...food for the lameness filter...)

Thank the FSM for small favors, eh?
Murdering Democrats, too!
You just cost yourself a sale. :)
I'll listen to him for this, if nothing more.

In all seriousness: Slashdot's tags are stupid and pointless. "yes", "no", "doh", "maybe". How very useful!
:D
If they're going to be broken (and they are), we may as well have some fun with it. If they were at all of any value, I wouldn't have suggested this.
So please remove the stick from your ass.
Thanks!
I was wondering about that...compromise the endpoint and the whole encryption part falls off.
:)
As an OT aside, Beryllium: I love that journal entry about Republicans and refer people to it near-daily. Great work.

GAIM seems to do it pretty well, and that's just an example off the top of my head. There are many others.
It's fairly trivial on Linux to at least alert the user that there's a new update.
You better be careful in case Tove really does read Slashdot, man. She'll kick your ass.
Yes. Be happy with your DRM-encrusted shit and ever-slower computer.
Don't you buy a better computer to do things better, not to just support a slower, shittier OS?
The sad thing is what you just mentioned is high-school biology (I took it in sophomore year and covered all of that stuff).
Obviously someone failed it.
I gather that the stuff that has been removed has been long gone by now,
Ain't that the truth. GNOME started to really go downhill with the early 2.* releases.
