Remember where Windows _came from_. Bill and chums were
dumpster-diving for code.

Judging the success of GNU/Linux only by Desktop usage is like judging a prime minister based on a pissing contest.

Today, Slashdot is running an article about
the ridiculous number of hours it takes to update Windoze to Vista 7.
Posted in the comments is an addendum to the original game:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?lowbandwidth=1&mode=nested&threshold=3&no_d2=1&sid=1367735&cid=29413793#29413793
(Man, I despise the new Web 2.0 layout you get
with the regular, full-bandwidth feed from /. these days.)
If you ratchet down the threshold to 0, you get this jewel:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?lowbandwidth=1&mode=nested&threshold=0&no_d2=1&sid=1367735&cid=29417739
.
.
I don't know what you're using lately,
but your long links are getting broken in the archive:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/msg/1d83da1de19bc447?q=zz+zz+zz+for-windows-7-launch
It also appears you recently started using a line break at ~76.
A break at 72 wouldn't break lines in the archive.

Yeah, I've found a way around it in KNode. Does it still do that?
