Bruce rises to the occasion and does things of sterling character when you least expect it. ;-> (As the Aussies say, 'Good on ya, Bruce.') Quoting info at smallinnovations dot nl: > info at smallinnovations dot nl Discussion at slashdot is a waste of > time nowadays (I do have a 5 digit uid from the time ./ had some merits). Take it from someone who was employed at VA Linux Systems during and after the time we acquired Andover.net (Slashdot's itty-bitty corporate entity): Slashdot was _always_ a poster child for Sturgeon's Law, overwhelmingly a place for bored pseudonymous nobodies to exercise poor impulse control and the maturity of frat boys. One of life's many ironies is that after VA Research^W^W VA Linux Systems^W^W^W SourceForge, Inc.^W^W^W withered away so much from basic business ineptitude that its remaining husk could no longer _even_ afford to pay the 401(k) retirement fund fees, and sold off _everything_ including SourceForge and Slashdot, the tiny remaining ember entity, GeekNet, Inc. is sort of like an embryonic Andover.net -- so the tail has ended up wagging the dog. (Dice Holdings initially bought Slashdot and SourceForge.net in 2015, but recently offloaded them to a small and obscure investment firm.) > > Gochisōsama deshita! ;^P -- Sapere aude!
