What is Digg?30 Comments
- DeVryGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, I get tired of old news and dupe post comments. Listen, if there is another identical article like in very recent history, that is one thing, but you can expect everyone to have read everything you have. Moreover, there is now a handy little drop down up top now that you can report "Old News" or "Dupe post". Why do you feel the need to advertise that?
Lets stick to discussing the article at hand, shall we? - mrblack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nerds + porn = heaven
- recover82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ahaha. what the hell? why does playboy host a mirror?

- DHermit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why are they mirroring this stuff?
- barbobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://mirrors.playboy.com/
This is pretty old stuff, I never noticed CPAN on there though, thats kind of cool too - bonlebon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey they are not mirroring debian WOODY wtf?
- twistymcgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"This is old news.."
Are comments like this really necessary? Should we all check with everyone before posting something to make sure no one has actually heard of the post first? - shawgo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0only teenagers complain about old news and dupe posts.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Quote from mirrors.playboy.com
"Playboy's resident tech nerds would like to thank the authors, contributors, bug testers, and everyone else involved in the Open Source software we use on a daily basis. THANK YOU!" - sneakerelph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hahahaha
- recover82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why even post if it's "old news".
just because you had read it earlier doesn't make you on the "cutting edge" - vekron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They are also mirroring Firefox, Thunderbird, Apache, FreeBSD, and CPAN. Not new stuff.
- siliconsnake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Does it come with playmate wallpapers for X?
- linuxbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Because they can.
- Koskun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember actually downloading fedora core 7 I believe from them atleast a year or so ago with very fast speeds.
If they have the bandwidth, why not?
While not new news it is an interesting digg to say the least. - Ostermayer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jono181...i believe that one question is "WHY?"
- jono181, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0One question... WHY!
- dbrodbeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my turn ons are long walks in the park, mirrored sunglasses and open source software..
- anorris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember actually downloading fedora core 7 I believe from them atleast a year or so ago with very fast speeds.
Perhaps RedHat 7? Fedora Core is only up to version 4 and it hasn't been out a year. - ArchAngel21x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now you have a good reason for your wife when she asks why you visited Playboy's Web site.
- twistymcgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I remember actually downloading fedora core 7 I believe from them atleast a year or so ago with very fast speeds."
Fedora core 7??? Are you from the future? Is there wind in the future? =) - hijinks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow this is 4 year old news.. they have been mirroring open source stuff forever.. this is the problem with digg.. people get off putting old news on
- BenStockwell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0old news
- chenu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To answer most that say why? My answer is why not?
They've got the bandwith and the space and they feel that they should contribute something to the software that keeps their site open 24/7/365 for all the 13 year old boys in the world. - camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Say it with me folks. "Open source porn." Haha.
- SysDownfall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is old news..
