Why post just links to sites, this tells me nothing in which I am clicking to go see since you have the worst thread title and nothing describing what these links are talking about.. ughh.. !!

Schweet!!!!!!!!!!!

Another few Links I will not click on because of no description

We should make some sort of filter that disallows a thread to be created if it has like any of 100 stupid words in the title

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Firebird/0.7+ (.:MrC:.) <- no spoofed URLs.

The first one is an article about the history of GNU, and the second is an article about how Linux 2.6 will be the vehicle of corporate Linux.

As they say on Gen[M]ay - someone rape that title!

Sorry!

I wouldn't be mean enough to post porn links or anything like that, but I get your point.

The first one is from the Guardian, telling us LInux has no future without hippies and hackers cloming Windows and Unix programs, and there is no innovation in the open source community.

The second is a piece about the 2.6 kernel, and how embedded Linux will soon dominate the entire world.

Its not as bad as when tricky posted a link to (do not click on, it contains the mutalation of animals) http://www.bonsaikitten.com/

I Tricky may spends too much time on rotten.com (see the above warning) that is the only site that I have seen that links to that site.

Well, it won't hurt me - I just added some badlink detectors to my userContent.css file, so everything is A-OK now
