I realised recently that if you put the text "GNAA" in the subject line of a comment, it won't get posted to Slashdot due to "unknown error".

Wish I'd come up with that one.

It's much better. I could almost believe some people are hired by the editors to write controvertial gibberish.

Just an experiment to see how much I like slashdot without the people who post in every story and the pseudo-technical bullshitters. Don't take it personally, this isn't my main account.

Troll submissions.

This is pretty funny, in a why-yes-I-am-tweleve way. And it implies the editors DO pay at least a little bit of attention...

MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Bruce Perens Memorial Debian Systems Research Institute, Hewlett Packard Headquaters, Palo Alto, California. 29th January, 2004. Debian Troll's Best is pleased to announce that development has commenced on what will undoubtedly become the preferred destination for Open Source and GNU/Debian developers, users and enthusiastic apt-get advocates everywhere: GNU/Debian Troll, the web site.

just when you though that slashdot couldn't get any more like a game, Debian Troll's whore account gets moderator status! what's a guy to spend his points on when he sees his mate Debian Troll suffer at the hands of dipshit humour-deprived slashbots? and when a moderation of a blatant goatse.cx link is meta-moderated as 'fair', point and laugh at the sheer stupidity, then begin composing your next win-apt-get advertisement.

Following on from an insightful suggestion by co-developer leviramsey (for those who don't know, leviramsey has been instrumental in re-writing the Debian automatic hardware probing routines for Debian GNU/Windows XP so that they erase all the correct settings from XP and leave the machine ready to configure 'properly'...just like Debian GNU/Linux!), I would like to announce the commencement of a fourth host operating system for the Debian environment: Debian GNU/Mac OS X!

here are some great trolls in the last week that i have particularly enjoyed (besides my own, brilliant trolls of course).

of course, i've been pretty busy with coding win-apt-get this week, so not many trolls in this edition. thank you.

Greetings fellow Debian users and 42-year old virgins, Following the IP address of Debian Troll being banned (obviously part of a conspiracy by the fiercely pro-RedHat and RPM Slashdot administrators), I have written the following plea to the Moderating elite.

Join in the campaign today! apt-get install crap-flood the editors!!

Dear Slashdot Moderators,

In record time, it looks like my IP is banned from posting. w00t! Debian Troll will return...

whether it's their distasteful looks, their smelly sperm-laced breath or their lack of social skills - you can always spot a debian user. together with their rampant homosexuality and barely informed, yet surprisingly elitist attitude, these fucking tools can be found littering university campuses all over the world, beavering away on their beloved debian, "C for dummies" book in hand. even when not coding, you can find these cocksucking twats in their debian user group meetings, collaborati
