Read some of their recent articles on open source, and Linux. These guys are trying to piss people off.

Wow, is that site for real?  I've never seen such a load of bunk in my life.     The reader comments were extremely entertaining.

Mission Statement
       There are a number of people who have opinions that don't quite fit the norm. Because of this, they aren't welcome in many places. This is where they exercise their right to speak, where the dreams of tomorrow take flight today.

       This site is aimed at middle class white male professionals - the sort of people who have been sadly sidelined by today's victim culture, and the domination of homosexuals, geeks, amputees, racial minorities and Canadians, who have all risen up with their discrimination laws and 'equality' to sadly control the media agenda.

       These people are not welcome here. This is where we make a stand. This is where we fight back.

       This site is also squarely aimed at the marginalised of society -- homosexuals, geeks, amputees, racial minorities and Canadians, who remain in a state of oppression, kept down by the dominant white male patriarchy and by insufficiently rigorous 'discrimination' laws and the corporate media.

       These people are welcome here. This is where we make a stand. This is where we fight back.

       Controversial opinions, passionately held. We Are Adequacy.org.


Adequacy.org is frankly unlikely to become a part of the Open Source Developers Network any time soon.

LOL!!!

I have been to the site and skimmed the headlines. I don't really understand their mission statement. It says two compleatly contradictoy things. The articles don't seem to be that strange. I don't really understand what the site is all about.

Wow. So many people get pissed off at this site, makes me laugh.

They ARE trying to piss people off. Its not serious. what amazes me is the amount of people who read the articles and get pissed off at what they say in there, and take it to heart.

They are deliberately doing that. And they do a damn good job of it too. By not being an overtly obvious parody (or whatever) site, people are usually of two minds about it, and are willing to believe that these are for real. I for one say they are not.

One story I saw in there ("Is your son a hacker?") involved children and characteristics straight from the brady bunch, (names, etc) and nobody picked up on it.  Also, apparently, if your child switches from AOL, they may be hacking into peoples computers to do a DOS (not DoS, or DDoS, but D.O.S) attack, which gives them A command line! funniest stuff I've seen for ages.

Hmmm, a quick nmap scan on the site would indicate to me that they are not running an M$ server. They have SSH, telnet, netbios and swat (Samba). They are running MySQL, Apache 1.3.20 w/mod_perl on UNIX. I can't tell you exactly which UNIX but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were open source (BSD or Linux). I don't want to probe them, they might get mad.  If they are running their site on open source they should change their name to something more appropriate.
