Poor Slashdot/Andover/VA Linux - the truth hurts (Score 4)

The Slashdot "editors" decide to post a submission with a dumb speculation about a possible Microsoft stock connection. One poster decides to address this point and gets marked down as "Offtopic." That's truly pathetic, as well as cowardly.

At least it's been so very entertaining as Slashdot/Andover/VA Linux fiddle while Rome burns: Today, Andover.net stock hit an all-time low since the day of the IPO, and VA Linux stock has now fallen 82% in less than four months. All the while, Slashdot pleadingly tells us how Microsoft is in so much trouble, and the desperate-to-be-a-geek-hero Jon Katz tells us how irrelevant Microsoft is.

Note to the Slashkiddies: It's a little hard to believe your arguments of Microsoft irrelevance (or that you even believe it yourselves -- your brave facade is fooling no one), if you didn't spend hour after hour jealously bitching about them.

"Open source, closed minds, we are Slashdot" - some truly insightful (+5) guy.
