Endorphinjunkie here,
I am a survivor of an all expensives paid free vacation to southeast Asia. Since then I have been a mathematician. I am the one who usually offers an alternative view of the heretic's view offered by Penrich and William. I live in North Alabama, about 45 miles from William. I am a glider rider and water rat.
Originally posted by williamwbishop It's survived some hard things, I think it will be fine. It just seems like every time it starts growing, something comes along and cuts half of it's population out. They could have been [H]arder than some other sites by now. I'm starting to give credence to the old conspiracy guys who said it was a planned poisoning of the well.
It kind of makes you wonder if its owned by the bid MS (through the chain of command) if we were all under a microscope there, if perhaps it was just a way of observing the linux community and how it works....

Originally posted by wapcaplet Ah. Feels like home again.
Had a bit of an internal debate about the whole issue with LNO/JLC, and after reading several posts from people leaving, it really did strike me that the /dev/random forum was really a great community builder. I think I'll frequent both for a while, but... we'll see.
My sentiments exactly.
Sometimes, I just hang out in the "teckky" forums, but sometimes, I want and NEED a break, which is why I liked /dev/random.
I joined here last night...not because of anything at LNO, I happened to notice this board's link on Slackware.com's site, it looked good and I joined...reason being that they have a dedicated forum to Slackware.

It is owned by MS. There was a lot of turfing back about 3 months after it was purchased. You know, the "I'm going back to windows because it's easier and has all the software", or "Linux is just too hard for a NORMAL guy like me, and it broke my computer and it's going to cost thousands to get it fixed" from a guy with 2 posts. Tons of them, but they died off when we started calling them on it. Someone named them fudsters, and we'd put out the fudsters' alert when we saw one and it went away.
I'm on my way over here as well. Not knowing much about linux(yet)kinda takes the fun out of lno for me not having /dev/random around anymore. anyway... on to the randomness!!!

Cool
I'm rather infrequent with TV. More of a reader. I have three loves, my family....my car....and my books.
