  I think we need people to use the firehose more often since it is currently very likely something lame will appear, for example :
  
  http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/29/1414218
  
  Linux won, but the title of the article kind of implies that both vista and ubuntu won.

  Slashdot is a lost cause, IMHO, so I try to stay out of there. Here is an E-mail I received an hour ago:

  You linked to this one: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/linux/locutus/archives/vista-purposely-cripples-connections-to-other-operating-systems-23331
  
  There you see the author has been assimilated. MS Vista has a problem and somehow it's the other system's fault. Same spin happened on Slashdot.
  
  The wording should be changed from "It has been reported as a bug in the code on slashdot which lead to this article about how many swedes in Lund are unable to access the internet because the cities infrastructure runs on Linux." to a more accurate description: "It has been reported as a bug in the code on slashdot which lead to this article about how many swedes in Lund are unable to access the internet because they are trying to run MS Vista"

  Believe it or not, USENET's Munchkins have already blamed and accused me of lying when I posted this. They reside in various sites, including Slashdot. Yes, how 'dare' /anyone/ blame Vista? They always have a consistent spin and Slashdot can, by nature, be easily gamed. Look back at the previous posts about Slashdot to see evidence of manipulation.
