Looks like it was a driver issue."
You deserve a million diggs. - Phocion55, on 10/11/2007, -22/+361Microsoft actually entered a car in the race as well.
Unfortunately......the driver didn't have the activation key to start it up. - fkr3, on 10/11/2007, -14/+335Next time find a guy to drive who's actually got experience that extends beyond Need For Speed on Wine.
- Innova69, on 10/11/2007, -11/+307Must have been an ATi driver...
- bysin, on 10/11/2007, -18/+285shenanigans
- Turbosc, on 10/11/2007, -16/+235Every time the car came in for a pit stop Microsoft had to verify the new hardware via telephone.
- aurrea, on 10/11/2007, -9/+225Let the OS shenanigans begin....
- secleinteer, on 10/11/2007, -34/+238I guess the Windows car couldn't even make it to the race - the Mac one is probably still getting its paint job done.
- arjie, on 10/11/2007, -11/+178Oooh 'crashed'. Must...resist...pun.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/11/2007, -4/+146fix it? He had to build it himself
- Dumbledorito, on 10/11/2007, -2/+144Sounds like at least one Linux adherent needs to download the "sense of humor" library.
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+142I can't find the any key
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+146They should restart...the race
- Mongolai, on 10/11/2007, -3/+135I guess no one bothered to RTFM.
- Mongolai, on 10/11/2007, -3/+113The driver is fine. Just be sure to disable kernel spinlocks in order to prevent unfavorable race conditions.
;P - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -2/+111And lose the uptime???
- frenchkick, on 10/11/2007, -6/+105Too....many....puns....to handle.....
- MasteRR, on 10/11/2007, -8/+102Here is the actual crash:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Eg28gD1Jo
And here's a theory: He crashed on purpose so that we could see Tux at a standstill instead of at 200MPH. :-P - gharding, on 10/11/2007, -10/+85The driver was probably too busy trying to fix the engine to actually drive.
- Matteos, on 10/11/2007, -11/+84They were just testing their new physx card.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/11/2007, -9/+81Operator error. Please replace operator and press any key.
- shinda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+71If you're running ubuntu try sudo apt-get install libhumor
- darkstorm777, on 10/11/2007, -5/+69Theres No Such Thing as Bad Press
~Gene Simmons - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -1/+64By the time the Apple pit crew was done bragging about how its tires and drivetrain are superior to everyone else's the race was over and they had only won 2% of the prize.
- Four20, on 10/11/2007, -1/+63It's next to the one that dispenses Tab
- selrahc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+62On the other hand, they probably actually got noticed. It seems like a lot of people watch races just to see the crashes.
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+58Humour not found. Check dependencies.
- SocialPoison, on 10/11/2007, -0/+58@kosmox

..I LOVE THIS CAR ACCIDENT - Solkre, on 10/11/2007, -15/+68No he'd be able to drive around for a couple laps then it would bug him every lap to activate, and just before he'd finish it would stall.
- noonzie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+49I thought the car was supposed to disappear after the crash, then reappear in the middle of the race track in a 5 second invincibility mode?
- RaggTopp, on 10/11/2007, -2/+47Apple had a car in the race too, unfortunately the track wasn't designed for apples.
- FearlessFreep, on 10/11/2007, -2/+46but that was up from last year's race
- benedictkenny, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43Publicity is publicity.
- fatlip, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41he got chown'd :(
- lp1977, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41At least the crash didn't cause a compile up.
- postaldave, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41the FAQ clearly stated...."turn left, turn left, turn left and turn left" how hard could it be?
- Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -10/+48""Here is the actual crash:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Eg28gD1Jo""
the video keeps saying "She"....
I think I found the problem. - mscman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+40Unless you're using a language that distinguishes between letter cases, in which case:
Publicity ≠ publicity - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36R.I.P. joke
- JimV, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36"Onlookers reported that they saw a balding, pudgy man fling a chair at the Linux car right before the crash."
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29You mean there is something that CAN'T run Linux?
- FearlessFreep, on 10/11/2007, -3/+32good grief...most responses are just tongue-in-cheek humour Nobody is taking this seriously. Relax
- VANOS, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29Was the driver's name Broadcom by chance?
- Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -5/+32@ACrazyGerman (#6922304)
100+ people say you're wrong. - Hydroxyl, on 10/11/2007, -8/+33sudo shutdown -h 77
:( - eradicator, on 10/11/2007, -11/+35plus the driver couldn't see because of the "Blue Windshield of Death".
- saibatsu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24@regeya -- Did someone ***** in your cornflakes this morning?
Linux is an incredibly versatile and powerful platform to work from and though it isn't the only one by any means, its methodology is commendable.
Unfortunately, a portion of its users and developers can't seem to pull the sticks out of their asses and laugh when it involves their baby. It's not a huge black eye in the face of open source (Linuxdom? I think I'll just be general about it...), it's a funny moment. Laugh, man, and stop foaming at the mouth. -
