A long thread at LXer about whether or not Debian should include unsourced binary blobs in its kernel had some commenters if not exactly singing the praises of totally free GNU/Linux distro gNewSense, then at least humming those praises. The point was that if you really are bugged by blobs in the kernel, you should put your geek-boy money where your mouth is, eschew "compromising" distros such as Debian and Ubuntu, and use the Ubuntu-derived, blob-free, Free Software Foundation-approved gNewSense.

Scott? SCOTT? SANDER?

Hey, where is our lady editor? LXer is fairly unbalanced. So 2008
Our lady editor got offered a better job. I have long hair. You'll have to make do with with me instead.
Hey, I'm unbalanced too! Sounds like a perfect fit.
Quoting:You'll have to make do with with me instead.


I swear, I read that as "You'll have to make out with me instead." ... eeeeeh! Uhm, no offense and all. :)
Isn't there anyone in authority who can stop this kind of stuff?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

A vicious officious ferret. Which would be more than enough to keep people in line. A ferret is not something you want to mess with.
Just so you know Colonel, we will be introducing a new addition to the Editorial staff very soon. And it will be someone of the fairer sex, I can assure you. I am just waiting on a couple of things before it becomes official.

I am as aware as anyone that LXer is in need of some 'balance', if it can be called that.

Of what species?
What species? How dare you talk about her like that..lol!

I will have you know that she is a Homo sapien of the highest caliber.

Well, given that a number of the frequent posters are known to be somewhat unbalanced, I'd say that's fairly obvious. :)
she might be listening, and what would she think of you.
Colonel my dyslexia kicked in when I read your post so I read it as Great Scott and it reminded me of Back to the Future.

Cant be anything worse than my ex wife thinks of me, and I don't loose a wink of sleep over that.

@boomboom don't feel bad I read it that way too on the first pass.
I don't feel to bad, but now whenever I read a post from the colonel I get a mental image of Doc Brown.
