A complete and usable desktop like we've grown acustom to since Macos/Windooz should be the priority.

Actually this is the problem. Now don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about thowing out all the past good ideas, and using something that doesn't work, simply because it's new. But one shouldn't blindly reimplement old ideas, including implementing their short comings simply because, that's what people expect.

Take for instance the start menu. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the user shouldn't be able to edit the root menu. Sure, you a limited ability to add new items, and then remove your items, but you you're stuck with what Microsoft decided would be "useful". (Run, Shutdown, Programs, Favorites, et cetra.) Don't use Favorites? Don't want it cluttering up your menu? Tough.

So GNOME and KDE (they both suffer from the same debilitating disease last time I checked) said, "Hey we need a start menu. Afterall Microsoft has one and when the Great Flood comes and Redmond is washed into the sea, those that the Great Penguin deamed worthy will go forth and claim the land and the people left will be expecting a start menu. Those that don't want a start menu, can remove it. So everyone is happy.

Not quite. For the would-be deliverers have decided that everyone should have "Programs", "Favorites", "Run", "Applets", "Logout", and "Lock Screen". You mean you would like to edit this? You can't under windows. What do you mean that's not acceptable? That's how Microsoft does it.

For all the talk about how Microsoft doesn't innovate, there sure is lack of innovation in the opensource world. I've yet to see it. In fact there has never been a "killer app" for Linux.

Sure someone will bring up something like Gimp, but let's face it. It's Photoshop, only more confusing and without nearly as many useful plugins.

...but I'm doing research on gaming and flow, which seems to me to be what this study is discussing. From what I gather, Flow is very big in the sports psychology field (that's not why I use the concept I stubled upon it from a colegue who uses it in his work) and it is one of the keys to becoming good at most computer games as well. If you are interested you can go here to see the two papers I have written on the subject. They are for an academic and non-gaming audience so there is a bit of "This is what a First-Person Shooter is, this is what they look like" kind of hand-holding stuff, but I think that they are pretty good anyway.

link with pic and stats. I still have one of these (somewhere in a box) at home!

I don't why, but it does seem strangely appropriate.

Check out the Vinny the Vampire comic strip

Why, quite obviously you've seen the Windows CEMENT page, and you neglected to mention it. ;)

Astronomers on local television stations said the object was probably a meteorite that burned up in the atmosphere.

Those TV astronomers are always on the ball. Cletus the slack-jawed yokel could have figured that out.

What is in between 300 feet that you can't string a simple cable?

If you absolutely have to have wireless, look into radio modems (also known as packet radio). Most of these are relatively inexpensive, small, and easy to use. Most require some kind of backend transmitter/receiver - a cheap hacked CB would work.

Also, look up homebrew lasercomm systems - some of these use actual lasers (here is one such project) - I have seen one (Ronja) that uses high brightness LEDs.

There are many solutions to this problem - but the cheapest (not to mention easiest, and quickest) one is a cable.

Worldcom - Generation Duh!

As I am an old MUD addict who still do the occational crusades online, I have noticed that the user-base on these things are not declining at any noticable rate. The average age of the players may be higher than in the "golden days" of text adventures, but they still do have a strong following.

FYI: I mostly play on Viking MUD - not the largest of the MUDs, but it's the one I've been hanging around. I also use Frotz - the multiplatform Z-Engine - to play Infocom games on Linux. Not to forget of course, the original text adventure "Adventure" that has always been part of the Slackware Linux distribution, and the unforgettable Foom - a text adventure based on ID Softwares Doom game, using TADS - the Text Adventure Development System.

You can get an epods one for around $200, hack it back to plain Windows CE, and add a 802.11b hub and card for cheaper than that! $2000 is an insane price to ask, so I assume this company will either have to discontinue the line before it gets too far out the door, or drag the Rio and RioCar down with it as it dies trying.

Does anyone know whats happened to the supermount maintainer? the previous version of supermount (0.5.3) died on about kernel 2.4.3 i think it was, no ammount of emailing various people seem to have turned anything up. Anyone know if theres a supermount patch around for 2.4.7?

How is it possible to love something and at the same time hate an integral part of it?

Ever heard the song Anthem from the musical Chess? It may help to know the context. The Russian chess champion is defecting to the west, and he is asked by a journalist how he can leave his country. This is his reply.

according to this rather cheezy article, the energy from the plasma would be used to heat water->turbine->electricity.

Can someone confirm this? Has electricity generation technology really stagnated?

Ah yes, remind me...

Which country has a higher percentage of its population in prison?

Which administration is more likely to launch a missile attack? Which may or may not hit its target?

Or crash their secret spy plane, for that matter?

Which country recently lost its seat on the U.N. human rights committee?

In other words, you probably have to buy one from Russia.

Yes, that could never happen. With Russia being so stable and all.

the US is pushing for increased Canadian border security and unified policies on security and entry into North America

No one ever gets anything past the Canadians.

suitcase nukes are low-yield.

Uhhhh... Yah.

After all, look how nice the world is being to China, what with giving them the Olympics and all (worked really well in Berlin in 1936, didn't it?).

This is Yes, you are absolutely right. Jesse Owens' televised humiliation of "Aryan superiority" having lead to WWII and all...

You have to understand that the Mutual Assured Destruction policies of the Cold War don't apply to unstable and fundamentalist regimes.

Hmm. Strange that the rest of the civilized world seems to disagree. Of course, I'm sure this is the only time that Bush would dare propose breaking an anti-nuke treaty. I mean, any guy who's cutting the EPA by 6.5% while giving an additional 13.6 billion to defense has his priorities totally straight. That, and his unbiased choices to head the EPA show that he isn't swayed by special interests. Which is why ultimately, other countries everywhere love and respect and cherish him and support his wise policies.

Don't let the facts stop you, though, Michael.

Yeah, whatever man.

I get kind of nervous when I think about nutjobs running countries...

So do I. Especially when I hear about Star Wars and remember that before he got elected, the current US president couldn't even name the leaders of the nations this 60 Billion-dollar system would 'protect' us from.

They may not have those ICBMs now, but once we break the ABM treaty, they'll have no reason not to start accumulating them.

Of course, now that we've elected two Texans to the executive branch, it could be argued that we're a new nation and treaties the United States of America signed don't apply to us. Welcome to the Republic of Texas!

Don't laugh.

You are correct. Bernoulli's principle is not what causes lift. It is the angle of the wing. That is why fighter jets and stunt planes can fly upside down. And that's why balsa wood gliders with no curve can fly. For more info, check out this page.

It never really made sense to me either why Bernoulli's principle caused lift. If you just used common sense it would be easy to understand the angle of the wing pushes the air down, thus pushing the airplane up. Unfortunately though, it is not taught this way in any level of the US school system except upper level college courses.

The NASA astro-naughts should "Adapt and overcome", "quit their whining", "calculate their happiness factors"

No field day, no ORSE, no ROUGHTRAY/GITMO, no watchstanding, no biannual requal, pay .GT. minimum wage, no sea&anchor, no UNREP, no quasi-religious nuclear pre-startup ceremonies, no five-and-dime watch rotation ... what are they complaining about?

Who would have thought that the Nuke Navy was better prep for space travel than anything else available???

Can the NASA astro-naughts complain like Team FTN???
From the Team FTN Homepage: FTN is an attitude. We all have it. Before I (Trash_Man) say any more, I'd like to make a few things clear. We are not just a group of dirtball whiners. I have been in the Navy for 10 years and am in a supervisory position (over 30 people report to me). I have been awarded the Navy Achievement Medal and 16 other commendations for my performance. I have been selected as a "Sailor of the Quarter" and have always received high marks on my performance evaluations. The experiences of the other FTN members mirror my own. So don't discount our complaints as the ramblings of some disgruntled kids who couldn't handle the military. We've made many trips around the block, maybe too many.

If you kick a dog long enough, eventually he's gonna bite. Well, that's the essence of FTN. We have seen too many examples of poor leadership, abuse of authority, and simple failures to consider the consequences of an action. There are MANY good leaders in the Navy (I consider myself one of 'em), but you shouldn't have to "get lucky" to be treated with common decency and respect. And even if you "got lucky" and have a great supervisor, too often his hands are tied. I am not talking about situations where the unique nature of military service (combat actions, diplomatic crises, hazardous duties/locations, etc...) make an authoritarian leadership method a necessity. I am talking about routine, non-critical situations.

FTN means that we are tired of the BS. It means that we think that our families really do matter, regardless of what the Navy says. It means that we are tired of having professional respect demanded from above, yet not reciprocated. It means that we don't want use a shitty method of getting something done, just because it "has always been done that way". FTN means that there have been a couple more 100+ hour weeks than we care to contribute. [HELLO NASA ASTRO-NAUGHTS ;-)] It means that we have had it, we will continue to excel in our performance (because we take pride in our own work) but we refuse to suck up and say we like it. It means that we might just tell an officer, "That's f#ckin' stupid and I'm not gonna do it that way. I'll do it the correct way instead."

There are many different reasons to say, "F#ck The Navy". Some are personal and others professional. The top reasons (for Trash_Man) are:

1. Family separation (sometimes greater than 300 days in a year).[HELLO NASA ASTRO-NAUGHTS ;-)]
2. Lack of professional respect.
3. Low pay compared to equivalent civilian job.[HELLO NASA ASTRO-NAUGHTS ;-)]
4. People with little concern for you have too much control over your life.
5. Little opportunity for advancement (less than 3% of eligible people in my position are advanced each year).

Indian government is researching on a RLV that was on news today. The project is still at a concept stage. But they have the obligatory engineeing model. This one also uses liquid hydrogen as propellant.

There is not much info in that news item but another website has a little more information.

What is unique in this is it collects oxygen while in suborbital cruise, converts it to liquid oxygen and uses it to reach orbit. This process has already been testing at the ground level.

They expect to use it for launching LEO satellites and defence surveillance purposes.

I am surprised there were no articles on Shrek and Linux because it was done not only using linux for the rendering but for some of the actual animating, modeling, etc. as well (what with Maya, Houdini, shake, Photorealistic Renderman, BMRT, and Mental Ray running on Linux and all). Pacific Data Images is a big linux convert (as read in Post magazine) and have been using Linux probably more than any other major studio.

I saw Final Fantasy last night at a theatre preview and I can attest that the story is cliche but everyone should go and see it for the animation, which is beautiful, and everything you could hope for. It was the most visually impressive movie I have ever seen.

Sony's new workstation is way too new to be able to get anything done with, that won't happen for a while, assuming anyone is going to end up using it at all.

See the rather tasty java applet by Leonardo Boselli, Galactic Collider 1.0, which shows how spiral arms are created when galaxies pass close by each other. You could change the start positions to whack two galaxies together, if that's what you really want to do...

The similarity is really remarkable. Could it be that we are dealing with an old-fashioned canard?

In the computer world, in the 1960s the most widely available output device was a "line printer". This was a printer which printed up to 132 characters on each line of 11x17 paper. The printer could be told to stay on the same line, so text could be printer over other previously printed text. There were a large number of images developed to be printed out, including ones which were printed in several columns which had to be joined side-to-side (such as an image of a jet flying over the Golden Gate bridge). Both simple printing and overprinting were used. Here is an example circa 1973; it was such a popular technique that even self-portraits were done with it.

There were programs available for creating "printer art". You'd give the program a two-dimensional matrix of integers with the gray scale value desired for each pixel. The programs simply translated the gray scale numbers to the character (or characters) used for the nearest shade of gray. The programs were particularly convenient if you were one of the few people with some sort of image scanning device.

When ASCII became popular, with Teletypes and 72-80 character timesharing terminals becoming common, the same technology was used there. Some artists preferred to (or didn't know about the programs) manually create the art with text editors (or tools like a 1987 program for creating printer art). Some of the same images appeared on terminals.

Obviously, text characters were used simply for their gray-scale pixel value. The same technology can be used for images, by selecting component images based on brightness and color values.

This makes perfect sense as the origin of the legend of Atlantis and corresponds to some work that has been conducted by The Institute of Metahistory placing Atlantis near both Cornwall and Brittany.

In all likelihood, there was, at the end of the last iceage, a northward migration out of the, then, grasslands of North Africa -- a mirgration that took two routes:

1. Along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.
2. Across the Straights of Gibralter.

Individuals with Rh- allele apparently left from the Holocene migration out of north Africa along the western coast of Europe (possibly aka the 'Vanir' of Norse mythology):

1. Highland Morrocans 40%
2. Highland Basques 32%
3. Scotland and Ireland 25%
4. Norwegian islands 17%
5. Laps 7%

Previously considered somewhat outlandish, these theories concerning early civilization in France, Rh-negative populations, pre-Celtic Norse-Scots and Holocene Atlantic coastal migrations are now receiving independent confirmation from DNA analysis of some of the populations in question.

Gene studies are now bearing out theories of this relationship among pre-Indoeuropean peoples along the Atlantic coast of Europe and north Africa:

From the Daily Telegraph

Basques are brothers of the Celts
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor

Celts, Basques and Picts - Medieval Life & The Hundred Years War WELSH and Irishmen are genetic blood-brothers of the Basque people, according to a study published today.

The findings provide the first direct evidence of a close relationship between the people thought of as Celts and the Basques. The Basques are thought to be the closest descendants of the Palaeolithic people who established the first settlements in Britain more than 10,000 years ago.

The evidence of a link is in a study by James Wilson and Prof David Goldstein of University College London, with colleagues at Oxford University and the University of California, Davis. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The team looked for similarities between the Y chromosomes - only carried by men - of 88 "Celtic fringe" individuals from Anglesey, North Wales, 146 from Ireland with Irish Gaelic surnames, and 50 Basques, revealing "remarkable" similarities.

The Celts carry the early Y chromosome, said the study, which provides the first clear evidence of a close relationship in the paternal heritage of Basque and Celtic speaking populations. "They were statistically indistinguishable," said Prof Goldstein.

I think compressed air powered water was in used long before Lonnie Johnson "invented" it - just maybe not in water guns. I was a kid during the age of the pathetic pump squirt gun, but you could get water rocket launchers.

There's also a nearby NASA base with a water powered sled used to test tires and stuff - a 2Mb movie of that in action is here.

Because I'm sure a few people reading this haven't heard of Catatonia, or this song, I've got it hosted (fot a limited time only, no doubt) here, or directly linked here, although that may not work due to the way GeoCities servers stop direct linking.

If you would like any other Catatonia mp3s, feel free to e-mail me. Nothing like assimlating a few more people into raving fans ;)

Catatonia are one of my favorite bands, and with the singer Cerys' 'odd' voice can be an aquired taste. Mulder and Scully is far from their best (imho), but is a good sampler.

If you'd like some more info on the band, a good and constantly updated site is here.

To go further offtopic, I'd like to thank the late Napster, because without it I'd never have bought 3 Catatonia albums, a bucketload of their singles, and an EP imported from Japan, and 2 EP's from Amazon.... but Napster robs from artists, right?

Yes, collaborative art has always been possible; as noted elsewhere, a variation of this idea was practiced enthusiatically by the dadaists in the 1920s and 30s; yes, there are also quite a few examples of collaborative art already on the Web...TOO MANY TO LIST, really...

But my real interest in this is that "MAIL ARTISTS" have been creating similar works offline for decades, and online for virtually as long as the medium has been available to the general public. The very premise of mail art (for most participants) is that the process of exchange/collaborative creation is as important as the resulting objects.

Me? I think that mail art should attempt to create event/objects (formed through an individual's encounter with an unanticipated situation or object). As a side note, the Web is still an excellent medium for creating THESE SORTS OF ENCOUNTERS, but not necessarily a qualitatively different medium. But nobody's really interested in my aesthetic theories... :)

At any rate, you might take a look at the "Exquisite Squares" project, which sounds rather similar to the project under discussion: http://www.geocities.com/satpostman/index.html

Given the lifestyles of so many dotcommers, I wouldn't be too suprised if some of them have the bodies of 4 aliens hidden in their car trunk...

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• Linus Torvalds is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
• Richard M. Stallman, spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
• Alan Cox is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practise of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.

Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say 'there is no /opt mount point' because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement. (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'

FEEDBACK

What worries me is how much you know about what gay people do. I'm scared I actually read this whole thing. I think this post is a good example of the negative effects of Internet usage on people. This person obviously has no social life anymore and had to result to writing something as stupid as this. And actually take the time to do it too. Although... I think it was satire.. blah.. it's early. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux 'Sauce code' once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase 'Monolithic Kernel'?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.

You must work for the government. Trying to post the most obscene stuff in hopes that slashdot won't be able to continue or something, due to legal woes. If i ever see your ugly face, i'm going to stick my fireplace poker up your ass, after it's nice and hot, to weld shut that nasty gaping hole of yours. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!

you really should post this logged in. i wish i could remember jebus's password, cuz i'd give it to you. -- mighty jebus, Slashdot

Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the 'Open Sauce' movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.

ROLF LAMO i hate linux FAGGOTS -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.

Actually, that's not at all how scrotal inflation works. I understand it involves injecting sterile saline solution into the scrotum. I've never tried this, but you can read how to do it safely in case you're interested. (Before you moderate this down, ask yourself honestly -- who are the real crazies -- people who do scrotal inflation, or people who pay $1000+ for a game console?) -- double_h, Slashdot

Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux 'sauce code' is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: 'Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow.' And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!

dude did u used to post on msnbc's nt bulletin board now that u are doing anti-gay posts u also need to start in with anti-black stuff too c u in church -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.

Secondly, this message is for every man. Computers know no colour. Not only that, but one of the finest websites in the world is maintained by a Black Man . Now fuck off you racist donkey felcher.

And don't forget that slashdot was written in Perl, which is just too close to 'Pearl Necklace' for comfort.... oh wait; that's something all you heterosexuals do.... I can't help but wonder how much faster the trolls could do First-Posts on this site if it were redone in PHP... I could hand-type dynamic HTML pages faster than Perl can do them. -- phee, Slashdot

Although there is nothing unholy about the fine heterosexual act of ejaculating between a woman's breasts, squirting one's load up towards her neck and chin area, it should be noted that Perl (standing for Pansies Entering Rectums Locally) is also close to 'Pearl Monocle,' 'Pearl Nosering,' and the ubiquitous 'Pearl Enema.'

One scary thing about Perl is that it contains hidden homosexual messages. Take the following code: LWP::Simple -- It looks innocuous enough, doesn't it? But look at the line closely: There are two colons next to each other! As Larry 'Balls to the' Wall would openly admit in the Perl Documentation, Perl was designed from the ground up to indoctrinate it's programmers into performing unnatural sexual acts -- having two colons so closely together is clearly a reference to the perverse sickening act of 'colon kissing,' whereby two homosexual queers spread their buttocks wide, pressing their filthy torn sphincters together. They then share small round objects like marbles or golfballs by passing them from one rectum to another using muscle contraction alone. This is also referred to in programming 'circles' as 'Parameter Passing.'

And PHP stands for Perverted Homosexual Penetration. Didn't you know?

Thank you for your valuable input on this. I am sure you will be never forgotten. BTW: Did I mention that this could be useful in terraforming Mars? Mars rulaa. -- Eimernase, Slashdot

Well, I don't know about terraforming Mars, but I do know that homosexual Linux Advocates have been probing Uranus for years.

That's inspiring. Keep up the good work, AC. May God in his wisdom grant you the strength to bring the plain honest truth to this community, and make it pure again. Yours, Cerberus. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

*sniff* That brings a tear to my eye. Thank you once more for your kind support. I have taken faith in the knowledge that I am doing the Good Lord's work, but it is encouraging to know that I am helping out the common man here.

However, I should be cautious about revealing your name 'Cerberus' on such a filthy den of depravity as Slashdot. It is a well known fact that the 'Kerberos' documentation from Microsoft is a detailed manual describing, in intimate, exacting detail, how to sexually penetrate a variety of unwilling canine animals; be they domesticated, wild, or mythical. Slashdot posters have taken great pleasure in illegally spreading this documentation far and wide, treating it as an 'extension' to the Linux 'Sauce Code,' for the sake of 'interoperability.' (The slang term they use for nonconsensual intercourse -- their favourite kind.)

In fact, sick twisted Linux deviants are known to have LAN parties, (Love of Anal Naughtiness, needless to say.), wherein they entice a stray dog, known as the 'Samba Mount,' into their homes. Up to four of these filth-sodden blasphemers against nature take turns to plunge their erect, throbbing, uncircumcised members, conkers-deep, into the rectum, mouth, and other fleshy orifices of the poor animal. Eventually, the 'Samba Mount' collapses due to 'overload,' and needs to be 'rebooted.' (i.e., kicked out into the street, and left to fend for itself.) Many Linux users boast about their 'uptime' in such situations.

Inspiring stuff! If only all trolls were this quality! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

If only indeed. You can help our brave cause by moderating this message up as often as possible. I recommend '+1, Underrated,' as that will protect your precious Karma in Metamoderation. Only then can we break through the glass ceiling of Homosexual Slashdot Culture. Is it any wonder that the new version of Slashcode has been christened 'Bender'???

If we can get just one of these postings up to at least '+1,' then it will be archived forever! Others will learn of our struggle, and join with us in our battle for freedom!

It's pathetic you've spent so much time writing this. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I am compelled to document the foulness and carnal depravity that is Linux, in order that we may prepare ourselves for the great holy war that is to follow. It is my solemn duty to peel back the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.

As with any great open-source project, you need someone asking this question, so I'll do it. When the hell is version 2.0 going to be ready?!?! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I could make an arrogant, childish comment along the lines of 'Every time someone asks for 2.0, I won't release it for another 24 hours,' but the truth of the matter is that I'm quite nervous of releasing a 'number two,' as I can guarantee some filthy shit-slurping Linux pervert would want to suck it straight out of my anus before I've even had chance to wipe.

I desperately want to suck your monolithic kernel, you sexy hunk, you. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I sincerely hope you're Natalie Portman.

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it. As it is, I have to much open source software to write to waste even 10 seconds of precious time. 10 seconds is all its gonna take M$ to whoop Linux's ass. Vigilence is the price of Free (as in libre -- from the fine, frou frou French language) Software. Hack on fellow geeks, and remember: Friday is Bouillabaisse day except for heathens who do not believe that Jesus died for their sins. Those godless, oil drench, bearded sexist clowns can pull grits from their pantaloons (another fine, fine French word) and eat that. Anyway, try to keep your message focused and concise. For concision is the soul of derision. Way. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

What the fuck?

I've read your gay conspiracy post version 1.3.0 and I must say I'm impressed. In particular, I appreciate how you have managed to squeeze in a healthy dose of the latent homosexuality you gay-bashing homos tend to be full of. Thank you again. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well bugger me!

ooooh honey. how insecure are you!!! wann a little massage from deare bruci. love you -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Fuck right off!

IMPORTANT: This message needs to be heard (Not HURD, which is an acronym for 'Huge Unclean Rectal Dilator') across the whole community, so it has been released into the Public Domain. You know, that licence that we all had before those homoerotic crypto-fascists came out with the GPL (Gay Penetration License) that is no more than an excuse to see who's got the biggest feces-encrusted cock. I would have put this up on Freshmeat, but that name is known to be a euphemism for the tight rump of a young boy.

Come to think of it, the whole concept of 'Source Control' unnerves me, because it sounds a bit like 'Sauce Control,' which is a description of the homosexual practice of holding the base of the cock shaft tightly upon the point of ejaculation, thus causing a build up of semenal fluid that is only released upon entry into an incision made into the base of the receiver's scrotum. And 'Open Sauce' is the act of ejaculating into another mans face or perhaps a biscuit to be shared later. Obviously, 'Closed Sauce' is the only Christian thing to do, as evidenced by the fact that it is what Cathedrals are all about.

ANUX -- A full Linux distribution... Up your ass!

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• Linus Torvalds is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
• Richard M. Stallman, spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
• Alan Cox is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practise of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.

Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say 'there is no /opt mount point' because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement. (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'

ooooh honey. how insecure are you!!! wann a little massage from deare bruci. love you -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Fuck right off!

I would have put this up on Freshmeat, but that name is known to be a euphemism for the tight rump of a young boy.

Come to think of it, the whole concept of 'Source Control' unnerves me, because it sounds a bit like 'Sauce Control,' which is a description of the homosexual practice of holding the base of the cock shaft tightly upon the point of ejaculation, thus causing a build up of semenal fluid that is only released upon entry into an incision made into the base of the receiver's scrotum. And 'Open Sauce' is the act of ejaculating into another mans face or perhaps a biscuit to be shared later. Obviously, 'Closed Sauce' is the only Christian thing to do, as evidenced by the fact that it is what Cathedrals are all about.

Think "Darwin Award for the guy who strapped JATO units to an Impala and flew it into a cliff" ... or the longer, funnier, and even vaguely plausible Legend of the Rocket Car.

This from the same guy who uses the word "Links" (the game) and "Links" interchangeably.

Did he really think dye would work? Why would anyone think of dye for anything other than fabric?

Although, this hello kitty gameboy on his site looks "super" cool!

*cue the fallen soldier trumpet/horn music*

Well, I can tell you this - I was successful in dying my GBA's case... but that's about it. May my GBA's poor sacrifice soul rest in peace.

Actually it's not that I got impatient and upped the heat - the front piece of the GBA wasn't completely clean to begin with, I guess, so what happened was that there were streaks that appeared on the front shell of the GBA. I tried cleaning it and then re-dyeing the case, but I think the excessive amount of time in the hot water eventually warped it. It wasn't severly warped - it looks good, but it's warped just a little bit too much and THERE in lies the problem.

As of now, I have put the GBA back together again - COMPLETELY back together again, though unfortunately I won't be able to put up any screenshots of it until I get home later on this evening. My wife and I stayed up pretty late reassembling that thing, and I passed out before my head even hit the pillow.

So was the project successful? Yes and no. Yes- in that, the GBA was dyed completely black. The dye took hold, and it looks pretty damn good. It's almost exactly like Mpolle's mock up and I say, "almost" because a little of the dye came off when we were toying with the front shell piece in hot water. But a GBA shell CAN be dyed - Zap's experience proved that already, but now it's official.

No- in that the GBA's shell was warped. The back shell (with the battery compartment) couldn't have come out better. it's a sleek and shiny black, and looks like it's factory quality. The battery case is perfectly dyed and says, "GameBoy Advance" on it still - it's breath taking. The front on the other hand went through so much dyeing, I think that's what did the whole project in. First it was bent in the middle forward so that it wouldn't line up with the back case. Ok, so what we did was heat up the front plastic shell in hot water, match it up once it was flexible, and voila, everything's fixed, right? Wrong.

We tried putting in the front plastic screen (that says "GameBoy Advance" on the bottom" but it didn't fit anymore. Aye-yeeeee! Ok, so I was getting a little concerned at this point, but that part could be adjusted to fit. What I was worried about was the LCD screen fitting... and it didn't. The casing hadn't been shrunk, but rather bent in such a way that it didn't have space for the screen pieces anymore. So we heated up the case once again several times until we had it good enough for the LCD screen to fit back in. After that, we then attempted to put it back together. Surprisingly, all of the screws and metal plates fit back (though one metal plate was giving me some trouble). The buttons, however, weren't as good as they were originally. Because the front case took a tremendous warping, the select and start buttons didn't quite come out as much as they were supposed to. The B and A buttons were fixed perfectly, though, and so was the control pad. Then we screwed on the mother board (which was difficult because of the frontal warped part of the shell). Then we line up the grey side plastic pieces, screwed on the back shell, place the R & L buttons back in place (and they still clicked just like they always did), and finally screwed in the battery compartment. Problem was that two of the outter shell screws on the back (the very DEEP ones) wouldn't fit. I don't think it was aligned 100% because of the warped front part of the shell). The biggest problem was the power on/off switch. We tried lining it up with the little on/off switch in the GBA, but the plastic was warped so much, it didn't hold right... I knew right then that my GBA was basically dead. All the molding in the world probably couldn't get that fixed back right.

Still, we tried popping in some batteries and I guess the GBA was in the "on" position already because I heard the GameBoy's patented "Ding". So then I flipped up the GBA and turned it off, but right before it did, it had that Tetris "game over" noise and never turned back on again... when my wife and I heard that noise we were like, "Oh Sh!+". I think the on/off switch is out of alignment.

So now, my GBA is back together again, but for display purposes only. It looks great, but won't work... so this model will never see the light of day. So with this in mind, I say to you: Try it on a GameBoy Color or old Gameboy first before you try it on your pride and joy. The whole warping problem CAN be avoided, you just have to be EXTREMELY careful with the heat control. I never once raised the heat, but I should have turned it off and on every so often to keep it from getting too hot. I had the flame so low it blew out sometimes, but that was still too much for the case for a period of time that exceeds 2 hours.

This technique CAN work, it's just very difficult... I don't regret trying it. I just regret that I wasn't more careful, but oh well... next GBA, I'm gonna go with spray paint and see what happens there. -lol- At least then I know that all of the pieces will still FIT!

I don't know when I'll get to putting up all of the results and what I did on my page. My wife took pictures of everything, so you guys'll have that at least. The "stove top" dyeing method is definitely the most effective though.

When I get home I'll put up the pictures of my lifeless GBA. Looks good... looks great actually, it just doesn't work anymore. And if it doesn't work, well... kinda defeats the whole purpose. :/

I killed a white boy! A white GAME boy Advance that is. -lol-

Yeah, my GBA is pretty much dead, but I was thinking about that hair dryer thing. Yeah, I guess there's nothin to lose if the GBA becomes completely unrecoverable, might as well try at them buttons and provide some pictures.

Interesting about that spray paint. This weekend, my friend and I were gonna look for some spray paint, but since the GBA is pretty much DEAD, I guess we'll be skippin that for right now. Next GBA, though, Spraypaint will be the way to go.

*yawn* I'm sooooooo tired, though. My wife and I were working together last night trying to put the GBA back together and it took a looong time, but that's 'cause the plastic was warped. Dounia's funny. She was like, "Look at our thread, it's still on page one! We're famous!"

MOS - I sure hope so. Come ooooon replacement shells.


All I can say is... /. readers are psychic!!!

or just not dumb...

The odds of landing on Boardwalk are of course much greater...

Hmm. I've traversed the entire Monopoly board from Old Kent Road to Mayfair many a time, and I've never once landed on Boardwalk. Or Park Place, for that matter. Then again, I'm playing this edition.

People believe that the computer does the work for you, and that it doesn't take much effort at all. I have always met this with contempt, the computer doesn't do much for me except what I tell it to do. Nothing would be on the screen if I hadn't sat down and crafted something. Every element I put into my works were put there for a reason, and the effects I run are for a purpose. The computer is a tool, a brush fo the new artists, for I believe that computer art takes not only artistic skill, but also, technical skill. Most anyone can pick up a brush and paint. Their result might not turn out to be anything good or remotely artistic, but far fewer people can sit down in front of a computer and create anything artistic.

Be your own judge, view my homepage here.

Art = The creative expression of an idividual's world view or sense of life.

I think most computer-generated art would fall under this definition. Graphic Design probably wouldn't.

Aside from the issue that graphic design is less creative and more restrictive (no flames, please -- graphic designers work with a common body of elements to produce output, whereas computer-generated art starts with a "clean canvas") there is more of a sense of graphic design being restricted to an application of technical skills as opposed to purely creative skills. [Although they both have creative *and* technical skills to some degree, each one favors a different side of the fence.]

Add to that the notion that art in general is about the expression of the artist's sense of life while the graphic design is about communicating the message of,... well, what ever is being designed for, be it an ad for soap or a corp. ID.

*However* people seem to think that putting up several thousand umbrellas on two coasts = art and I don't think your "art critics" are going to advance the argument that Christo isn't an artist. (They would be drummed right out of the guild.)

Something like this maybe?

I'll refer to my personal hero, George Carlin, on this one:

Carlin on the word "Indian"

The short version is that what we call India was called Hindustan back then. Columbus came back to Spain (being an Italian guy that didn't speak great Spanish) and told the court he had found "Una gente in Dios," a people in God. "In dios" became "Indian".
