Fedora 14 Released and Reviewed — Advanced, and Not For Wimps 200
Several readers have sent word that Fedora 14, codenamed Laughlin, has been released. A brief listing of the major changes has been posted, and the download is available at the Fedora project's site. Reader jfruhlinger points out a quick review of the new version, saying, "Remember the days when being a Linux user was like being part of a select priesthood — arcane knowledge needed, but great rewards? Steven Vaughan-Nichols has tested out Fedora 14, and that was how it went. No Ubuntu-style handholding, but some powerful new features."

Dude, have you been celibate all this time?
They sent out a memo years ago saying geeks were allowed to get laid. Since at least Y2K as I recall we're been encouraged to go forth and get busy (I think that was the exact wording).
Man, you need to check your mail-slot more often. :-P

Really? Today? US Election Day.
What secrets are we going to find in the code that we should have known about sooner? It looks like this is just another thing the politicians were trying to hold back so we didn't know about their shenanigans until it was too late.

Those who have stayed true to the faith will recognize this as false. Cast out gstoddart as he is unclean and shall surely lead us unto damnation!
Pray with me brothers! Pray that we may keep our hand built machines clean from this filth of lust and commercial software!
Our Stallman, that art in glibc, hallowed be thy code...

I don't know if you misspelled "Soldiers", but "Solders" is actually way funnier. Well done.
