Yeah, last year's was better. Although I liked his description of RMS this year, where he described him as an open source advocate. I must wonder if RMS himself realized it was a joke . . . Most of the online jokes were crap this year. Though the IPoXML RFC was pretty good (a.k.a. the BLOAT protocol).

Slashdot itself. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
