Slashdot Mirror

So pretty soon we're going to be having 'suspected terrorists' turning to ash on the street? I'm sure the government's stance at first will be "well these evildoers seem to have spontaneously combusted or prematurely blown themselves up".

j00r TEH GHEY

I mean once they start adding those ultra crazy versalasers to the thing, or better yet, when they develop the versalaser for outerspace combat, stick it on a satellite, and just point it at some 'terrorist' down below. Then poof!

Goo|) l0rd yu0 ar3 sooo dumb... SUCK IT NIGGER!!!

Compare the parent's moderation and this one's...

I am also sure Matthias doesn't have much pr0n on his machine : who'd backup pr0n when it can be found on that many places?

Now, these might definitely be family pics.

But you can. Any more bad excuses for not picking up twin today?

1. Legal. As we've seen over and over again, mirroring a site qualifies as republishing that site, which is generally considered a violation of copyright law. Just ask the Scientologists what they think about that. Hell, they put legal pressure on Slashdot just for hosting an AC post.
   
   Sure, the author may say "yes," but he may also change his mind to "no" five minutes after you publish the mirror. And Slashdot would then be legally obligated to take down the mirror as of five minutes ago. If that's nto a bureaucratic clusterfuck in the making I don't know what is.
2. Philosophical. I'm sorry, but if you don't want anybody to see your website, what the heck are you doing publishing a website to begin with? People publish on the world wide web with both the knowledge that anybody could see your page at any time and the intent to take advantage of that. If you want to limit the people seeing your site, put a password on it. Or put a EULA on it. Better yet, put it on a VPN subnet. Hell, maybe you shouldn't be using HTTP to begin with.
   
   The world wide web is a pull media, meaning that the users decide what they want to see, when, and how much. If you want to have some sort of control over the user's experience that extends beyond your own servers, you're foolishly using the wrong media and in my opinion deserve what ever you get. I fail to see why Slashdot should be held responsible for the domain admin's foolish choices.
3. Economic. Guess what: Hosting a website costs money. I'm sure the admins at asciipr0n are well aware of that. Mirroring a page also costs money. Why should Slashdot (apparently barely able to keep their heads above water to begin with) take on the financial onus of re-publishing your material when you already implicitly agreed to handle that yourself when you published to begin with?

And a comment like that would go amiss without a link to the ASCII pr0n archive - and for the people still reading this interested in Star Trek ASCII art - try here.

"Can't fit much pr0n in 4K."

maybe some ascii pr0n

Be sure and check out asciipr0n for all you ascii pr0nography needs.

Funny indeed.
But what sort of geek are you using 3ds files ?

Real geeks print text based hotties

Either low-res porn, or maybe even the market for ASCII pr0n will be revitalized!

uuhhmm...

You mean this?

ASCII Pr0n

Quick, someone post asciipr0n or good troll fiction to entertain those of us that could give a shit about US law and encryption crap that /. is trying to sell!

Is this pr0n? :o)

more than enough size for asciipr0n :)

It was years before I found out that girls didn't have green and white horizontal stripes every half-inch.

Incidentally, I DO enjoy and recommend ASCII pr0n.

Along with the inevitable increases in speed and battery life, I think that we can probably expect the following advances in PDA technology over the next few years:

- More non-volatile storage space so that video becomes viable. Reasearch into minimizing non-disk based storage will be directly funded by a coalition of 'adult entertainment companies' headed by Christie Hefner and Robert Guccione.

- Vibrating batteries, as used in cell phones and pagers, will be modified for use with PDA's for those... long, lonely trips.

- Javascript-enabled web browsers will be ported to PalmOS so that we can be etertained by browser windows that reopen themselves, or their affiliates pages, no matter how many times you try to close them.

- New games will be written, targeted for PDA's that have touchpads or stylus interfaces. Players will be required to interact with in-game 'characters', either with thier hands... or their toungues.

- The X-10 mini-camera will become ubiquitous in most PDA designs, but for 'recreational' purposes only. The forementioned industry group will take no responsibilty for sexual harassment suits centering around misuse of X-10 technology.

- The popularity of Ascii Porn will skyrocket, creating a new market for fixed-width fonts.
