It is time to set the record straight regarding the situation with respect
to Vladinator/JCB/Reza/Lonesome Cowboy Burt/Whatever other aliases he may be
using. The situation has been confused due to the recent world-wide influx
of Vlad-haters, helper-cells, interested third parties and the occasional
Vlad sympathizer.

Let us start with a basic tenet of the Association of Anti-Vlad Avengers:
There is no difference between William Scott Lockwood III and those who
aid him, give him comfort, and/or use him as a substandard, "Always Save"
hosting solution. Though we may have no direct quarrel with you, Mr. "Trollaxor",
you appear to be friendly with Mr. Lockwood and - by your own admission - are
using him as a substandard "Always Save" hosting solution. Consider the fact
that if you were using a respectable host for your web site, you would not be
having the difficulties you are having now. Also, with this attempt at
ferreting out information for Mr. Lockwood, you are aiding and abetting our
sworn enemy and have aligned yourself in direct oposition to a powerful
internet force (that is, the AAA and its splinter groups).

This brings us to a primary characteristic of the AAA which has
been detailed elsewhere, but which I will repeat here in interest of
completeness: no single cell, as an entity, is aware of the members of
any other cell. The structure of our association works as follows. Each
cell is composed of no more and no less than three members who all reside in
a roughly similar geographic area. One of the three members is designated
as a messenger. This messenger is the only member in contact with a messenger
from exactly two other cells. In this way, the members of each cell remain
anonymous to the members of any other cell. If a messenger has been compromised,
the corresponding cell is responsible for "cleansing" that messenger and
replacing him or her with a new messenger. Such a cell will remain on
probation - meaning they will only be allowed contact with a single other
cell - until such time as the new messenger has been operating for no less
than six months.

Our activities are clandestine and even if another cell wanted to
share the information you request, it would not be able to because it
would not be privy to said information.

As you can see the AAA, though very loosely connected, operates
in a highly efficient manner and is deadly serious about the stated goals
of the organization: namely, the complete, unconditional eradication of
Vladinator, in any and all forms, from the internet.

We have been following the current situation with Vladinator's hosting
service quite closely and we estimate the damages to be severe at this point.
However, we cannot agree to end our champaign any sooner than already decided
upon. We may have shown mercy in this, our second major attack, if Mr.
Lockwood had shown the proper degree of humility at our hands. Instead,
Mr. Lockwood responded with his usual barrage of
lies
and vitriol.
For this reason, and the fact that we are otherwise bored, we have extended the
length of this attack. We realize that Mr. Lockwood's hosting company will try
various tricks to deflect our attack, things such as firewalls and IP banning. Eventually,
they will succeed in eliminating the current attack at which point we will rest for
a period of not less than seven days prior to initiating another attack.

We predict that the end of this second wave will result in another round of
cockiness from Mr. Lockwood, given the highly reactionary character that he is.
The next attack, which will be the "third wave", will be far more subtle than the
current attack and will undoubtedly shake Mr. Lockwood's faith in his current
alliances and dealings. This cycle of attack/end attack/Lockwood gets cocky/
attack again is necessary to wear down Mr. Lockwood's self-confidence and
general desire for continued existence.

As for the fate of Trollaxor.com, I would suggest you find a more suitable,
respectable host for your web site. Had you chosen your hosting solution more
wisely to begin with, you would not find yourself in the same sinking ship with
the rest of Lockwood's "customers". We would also like to remind you that it
is not we who are the enemy, it is William Scott Lockwood III who has
brought this upon himself and those who do business with him. Yes, our attacks
have been harsh and our dealings with Mr. Lockwood have been merciless, but simply
going over Mr. Lockwood's internet history shows that our cause is just and in the
best interests of the internet community at large. If we must sacrifice "innocent"
sites such as yours and kuro5hin, then so be it. It is a very small price to pay
for a truly Vladinator-free internet. An internet where true innocents can browse,
write and engage in discussion without fear of being choked at the hands of a
slobbering troglydite with bad glands
and a spastic colon.

Dear Sirs and Madams:

My friend Purple / Red / Blue / Green / Cyan / Violet / Orange / Black / Crimson Microdot has just informed me that he has recently been IP banned from Kuro5hin. Consequently, the onus has temporarily fallen to me of carrying out the sacred duties of the Microdot until he can resolve the situation and resume operations as before.

I know that I have big shoes to fill, and I won't claim that I'll be able to live up to the accomplishments of my predecessor. I won't even claim that I'm qualified for the job, however, I know that Kuro5hin needs a Microdot, and I will do anything within my power to adequately fill in for the true Microdot while he is indisposed.

The true Microdot wishes me to convey his sincere regrets to all of you over being temporarily forcibly separated from you. This is a situation that was beyond his control, and he is doing what he can to find a workaround. Until then, I'll do my part to try to fill the void, because Kuro5hin without the Microdot is just not Kuro5hin. (We won't even mention a certain Yellow imposter, who is an embarrassment to the Microdot name and to himself.)

I can never be the original Microdot, but I'm going to try my best to get into the Microdot mindset, and find my own personal style as well. If you like me, then perhaps when the real Microdot overcomes his IP-ban, I'll continue to work side-by-side with him. If you don't like me, then e-mail some certain people and request/demand that the original Microdot have his IP-ban removed as soon as possible.

This is all that I have to say at the moment. Until the services of the Standing Junior Microdot are needed again, I wish you all good night... and Godspeed.

Warmest Possible Regards,

Teal Microdot

This is all that I have to say at the moment. Until the services of the Standing Junior Microdot are needed again, I wish you all good night... and Godspeed.

Dear Sirs and Madams:

My friend Purple / Red / Blue / Green / Cyan / Violet / Orange / Black / Crimson Microdot has just informed me that he has recently been IP banned from Kuro5hin. Consequently, the onus has temporarily fallen to me of carrying out the sacred duties of the Microdot until he can resolve the situation and resume operations as before.

I know that I have big shoes to fill, and I won't claim that I'll be able to live up to the accomplishments of my predecessor. I won't even claim that I'm qualified for the job, however, I know that Kuro5hin needs a Microdot, and I will do anything within my power to adequately fill in for the true Microdot while he is indisposed.

The true Microdot wishes me to convey his sincere regrets to all of you over being temporarily forcibly separated from you. This is a situation that was beyond his control, and he is doing what he can to find a workaround. Until then, I'll do my part to try to fill the void, because Kuro5hin without the Microdot is just not Kuro5hin. (We won't even mention a certain Yellow imposter, who is an embarrassment to the Microdot name and to himself.)

I can never be the original Microdot, but I'm going to try my best to get into the Microdot mindset, and find my own personal style as well. If you like me, then perhaps when the real Microdot overcomes his IP-ban, I'll continue to work side-by-side with him. If you don't like me, then e-mail some certain people and request/demand that the original Microdot have his IP-ban removed as soon as possible.

Dear Trolls,

It has occured to me that you think that chainrust is me. I have received replies for emails I did not write, and other nonsense.

Thankfully, Chainrust (aka Pumpernickel and other nicks according to you) has contacted me to make the situation clear. Let me clear it further for the challenged of us out there:

Chainrust's name is not Jared Stattlemeyer. You have hardly any chance of finding his real identity (no, I will not tell you).

I am not Chainrust of Adequacy or Slashdot or K5.

The phone numbers you have published are not mine, but they may be of some other Jared Stattlemeyer, an Astroglide user in Jerusalem. The same goes for the email addresses.

In short, you are dumb. Very very dumb. The next time you decide that you can come to the right conclusions based on an incomplete evidence, please remember the above.

Oh, and by the way. I have your IPs. You visited my site, after all, didn't you? Does 64.94.151.187 look familiar? I have more. Think about that if you decide to harass that fellow in Jerusalem via phone. I will be the first to consult him on how to file a formal complaint with the police (I happen to volunteer in the Civil Guard). The "Jewish country" and US have signed agreements just for such cases.

Best regards,

Jared Stattlemeyer

This is TealMicrodot again, still filling in for my friend, the original Microdot, who is having some trouble with an IP-Ban at the moment. He was right about the rampant censorship happening here. Deleted accounts, IP bans, comments being entirely deleted rather than just hidden, weird stuff going on so that certain comments are visible when not logged in but invisible to logged in users -- this is Democracy? We have proof of all of this, and we're compiling all the evidence we get.

Anyway, here's the hyena information you requested:

Female hyenas are virtually indistinguishable from males. Their clitoris is enlarged and extended to form an organ of the same size, shape, and position as the male penis. It can also be erected. Their labia have folded up and fused to form a false scrotum that is not discernibly different in external form or location from the true scrotum of males.

It even contains fatty tissue forming two swellings easily mistaken for testicles. Authors of the most recent paper on spotted hyenas found the appearance of males and females so close that sex could only be determined with certainty by palpation of the scrotum. Testes could be located in the scrotum of the male compared with soft adipose tissue in the false scrotum of the female.

Slashdot users need to understand who Eric Krout is, and a visit to one of the sites that he mentions in the parent post (Kuro5hin) is most instructive. For a period of several months, he crapflooded the site incessantly, and was so abusive that he ended up altering various site policies (i.e., mojo accumulation for comments on diary entries.) Rusty Foster, the admin of Kuro5hin who often found himself on the receiving end of attacks from Eric Krout, showed admirable restraint in not cancelling his accounts. Most admins I know would have cancelled them in a heartbeat. Here's why:

Check out his diary. Note that the last entry in it, titled "We Win, You Fucking Losers", admits to perpetrating a "reign of terror" at Kuro5hin. Also instructive his the diary of his alternate account, Christian Roberts, in which he refers to himself as "the ultimate troll" and "Kuro5hin's best user." (Sound familiar?) Among his other alternative accounts was the lovely I Fucked Your Girlfriend.

Eric Krout seemed harmless enough when he came to Kuro5hin, but that didn't last very long. Soon he was posting self-absorbed diary entries several times a day, then he started attacking regulars in their diaries, then he started spamming the submissions queue and crapflooding the diaries section, and finally he ended up posting what can only be described as sheer hate. Eric Krout didn't hesitate to tell you what he thought of "faggots" and "niggers" and all of these other groups that apparently do not sit well with him.

Eric Krout is a racist, a sexist, and a homophobe, but beneath all that, all you need to know is this: Eric Krout is an obsessive loser who spends every waking minute of his spare time crapflooding weblogs. As it happens, Slashdot is his current target. Don't take my word for it, follow the links and read for yourself (if you're so inclined.) But moderating this moron up or playing his silly little games is only going to prolong his stay. In the interest of keeping the signal-to-noise ratio here high, I submit that we would all be better off by cutting his visit short.

Scoop is probably the best solution for your needs. Anyone can add articles, the group votes the best ones to the front, and admins can vote announcements/time critical stories to the front page.

Following up where the corporation left off

I applaud your boss for his decision. There are many disadvantages of using threads, that I'm more than sure your boss knows about. See e.g. this discussion for more detail.

Now, granted, some applications will also benefit enough from threads to outweigh those disadvantages. It is rare, but it happens.

What I'm looking for are document technically detailed yet directed more towards management. Not something on the level of 'pthreads for Dummies', but more along the lines of 'pthreads for Managers'. Any suggestions? URLs or Books are fine."

If you have a boss that already knows enough technical stuff to micromanage your project in this way, I'm sure he is capable of googling out a pthread introduction himself. What you should be focusing on is explaining exactly why your projects needs threads, and why fork()/exec() won't cut it. This may also result in you accepting his decision, but that is as it should be.

Should've made it into a k5 story instead. ;)

You might get better replies at Kuro5hin, which is a discussion site. You won't get the same responses of "what does this have to do with a Beowulf cluster" there.

Procreate?

I think you're confusing the right to shoot your gun with the right to "shoot" your "gun".

Anyway, (watch me come up with a point real quick) convicted felons lose most (they usually still get property, and they get to have kids again once they get out) of the rights you name right now. End prison! YOU could go to jail TOO!

The second one I read (but not completely, due to lack of time) is Armed: New Perspectives on Gun Control by Kates and Kleck. Kates strikes me as somewhat biased against control, but at least he backs it up with facts (though I haven't checked them yet). Kleck is much more balanced.

Kleck's Point Blank and Targeting Guns have been cited as the definitive scholarly works on the subject. Haven't read either one myself.

Wright and Rossi's Under the Gun is also said to be very good.

There was an article on K5 about this a few months ago. Can't find it right now, their server is having trouble. K5 would probably be a better place to ask this question.

HTH.

According to this guy the porn industry looks after its content fairly closely. If you look at a "free" porn site, its webmaster has probably paid for the content as well as the bandwidth himself.

P2P music trading is entirely different.

I'm going to keep posting the link until it makes a real difference.

And I'm going to keep writing stuff like that.

Thank you for your attention.

I wrote an article for Kuro5hin titled "Campaign Finance Reform: A Red Herring" describing the real problem in detail. The gist is that our current election system is a two-party system, not by design, but by consequence of the current design. Having n choices (where n is hopefully a large number) rather than 2 choices would create a more competitive landscape such that abuse would be made considerably more difficult.

Here's a comment that find incredibly insightful and relevant from here and here as posted by circletimessquare.

1) DENIAL

"September 11th doesn't really change anything."

2) ANGER

"John Ashcroft is an asshole!"

3) BARGAINING

"They might do this or that, but we can always march and petition and campaign!"

4) DEPRESSION

"I'm ashamed to be an American."

5) ACCEPTANCE

"I guess, after all, Islamic Fundamentalism really is the enemy."

As soon as this person made the issue America, they lost their own argument.

Dude, blood is on the hands of every nation on earth. Hypocrisy is equal opportunity.

Does America suck big time on some issues? Sure. No one is denying the obvious criticisms you have pointed out.

But surely you can see that America has more freedoms when it comes to the press, speech, etc., than China, for example, which actively seeks to control these things. Or Pakistan, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

Does this make America better than China or these other nations? Of course not. That is just nationalism. Nationalism stinks like racism or sexism stinks. So maybe we, and this includes you, can move beyond the America sucks/ America is better rhetoric and focus on the issues at hand: basic freedoms, regardless of where in the world we are.

Because no one else is talking about these issues in this thread as an "America is better" or "America is worse" kind of way except you. Who cares about that. Iraq is pursuing WMD. That sucks. All by itself that sucks. Whether America is the center of all evil in the universe or all Americans walk around with haloes of purity and innocence on their heads. Either way, this Iraqi prusuit of WMD still sucks. Period. End of story. Get it?

So I'll make you a deal: we'll move beyond the nationalist rhetoric as soon as YOU move beyond the nationalist rhetoric, capice?

Geez. ;-P

Not trying to karma whore, but if I post anonymously, it's likely a lot of people won't see it. I can honestly say I've seen myself go through this after September 11, 2001.

In Gnome2, Galeon 1.2.5 loaded a rather large kuro5hin page 4 seconds faster for me. And this is an older galeon based on an older mozilla! So i'm sticking to galeon, need to get my base mozilla and galeon updated though, and test again.

But I wanted it to be read more widely than was happening with it on my own little homepage so I posted a copy at Kuro5hin. An advantage of the K5 version is that it enabled followup discussion.

Here's the intro:

I just feel the need to write right now. Something has gone terribly wrong with the country I was raised to love. The good things that America stands for are being trampled into the dirt by those charged with the burden of protecting them.

I was raised to be a patriotic American. I grew up a military brat - my father was a proud officer of the United States Navy, who served in the Vietnam War. When I was young, I was always told that my father was fighting to preserve the freedoms that were guaranteed us by the United States Constitution.

In the first grade, I attended a school run by the U.S. Navy in Gaeta, Italy, where my father was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Springfield. Each day when we started school we sang patriotic songs and said the Pledge of Allegiance. We were told that America stood for freedom and democracy and justice.

I loved America for what it stood for.
