I concur with Linus. IT is the work for the janitors.

Good luck trying to fix something when it breaks.

You just get the install CD out of the drawer, correct?

(dear god, I hope there isn't some SystemD dude out there saying 'yeah, right' without recognizing sarcasm)

Web servers run on top of the Internet.

Saying they 'run the Internet' is like saying kitchen sinks run your plumbing system.

For certain values of 'failure.'

Straighten your necktie now, dude.

You could always suffer more and try to use gEDA.

Point of order: OSX is not a 'desktop Unix' any more than Android is a 'Mobile Unix.'

Neither is a Unix.

Very little of America's oil comes from the terrorists. We import very little Middle Eastern oil.

Europe would be fucked if ME oil was cut off, though.

Remove your tattoo and replace it with something else. What a hack that would be.

If we can come up with technology that removes tattoos, permanently and easily, it will eradicate the tattoo blight.

Tattoos are a cry out for something permanent. "I have important messages to send, and it is PERMANENT! I will ALWAYS feel this way." Which leads to ugly blight patches on middle aged skin.

Of course, it could just push the self-mutilation envelope even further, i.e. piercing and radical body mod. We haven't gotten to 'Dr. Adder' yet.

Home Computers were never considered playthings for the rich. They were playthings for the nerds. In the 70's that didn't make one rich.

Elon Musk fumes are considered a delicacy here.

What does the 'Stupid' stand for.

It's 'Star Trek Unboxed Parts' something or other, right? Like the stuff on that Magic The Gathering Exchange?

Perhaps he teaches English in Texas to Somali refugees.

Or ask Sunni's how racist Shittites are agaisnt them...

Sunnis and Shiites are schismatic muslims, not racists. You've illustrated how meaningless the term 'racist' has become.

In fact, people who worry incessantly about 'racism' are people who've finely tuned their racism. They're generally some of the most racist people in a culture.

Fuck that. We're all people (not soylent green).

In the spirit of egalitarianism UIDs didn't even used to get displayed on Slashdot.

It wasn't until (the *horror* of it) people started forging Bruce Perens' name on posts that they switched it so that UIDs are displayed. It was a dark day.

Thanks, Bruce.
