Slashdot Mirror

Dear Fellow Trolls,

I write this on behalf of The New True Troll Legion and our allies. If you've not yet allied yourself with The New True Troll Legion, there's no better time than the present: all your friends are doing it!

Take a look at this Kuro5hin fuckhead who claims/admits that he is Lockwood.

I was starting to strongly suspect it based on a number of his posts, such as that he lost his job on the exact same day Lockwood was fired from his for gross incompetence... he has similar political views to Lockwood... he uses the same insults, poor grammar, etc., and he has the same general asshole complex. He regularly moderates up the Geekizoid circle of shitflooders and spammers, such as Shoebot and TheGayLantern.

I was piecing together all this evidence to make a solid case that this fuckwit is Scott, but then one of the Associates pointed out to me that I didn't have to: he made a blatant fucking admission.

What can I say? GET HIM.

NEVER forget or forgive what Lockwood did. In 2000, he followed us from one hidden Sid to another harassing us: they'd stay secret for weeks or months until somebody messed up and posted logged in, and then Lockwood would be upon us again.

Finally we fled to the mailing list to get away from him, and he felt so shunned and rejected that he fell into a deep depression and, so the legend goes, tried to kill himself. When he awoke from his drug-induced coma, he tried to ingratiate himself with the trolls, but they still rejected him and wouldn't let him onto the mailing list. After another suicide attempt, Scott Lockwood decided to form his own band of "trolls" and you know the result: a forum devoted to shitflooding, spamming, homophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, denial-of-service attacks, and other abusive, illegal, childish stuff.

Everything that Lockwood has done will be repaid to him tenfold. For every forum he has spammed, his forum will be spammed ten times. For every life he has ruined, his own life and the lives of his friends will be ruined ten times over.

Scott Lockwood followed us from one hidden Slashdot sid to another to harass us, and now we have the chance to do the same to him: we will follow him from one Kuro5hin nickname to another to harass him; we will ALWAYS find out who he is, eventually, no matters how much he tries to hide it. The tables have turned, and we will hunt him to the end of the earth until he goes away forever. And if he never goes away, he will hunt him forever, and have fun doing it.

What can I say? GET HIM.

Speaking only for myself, this is the most fun I've had in years. Lockwood, leave the scene, get off the Internet, and get a life. Or keep it up... we'll keep it up too. We're more patient than you, we're more determined than you, and there are more of us than you. Give it up, keep it up... it's up to you.

Maybe now Kuro5hin can redo their Interactive Sucks-Rules-O-Meter.

You never know, it could be true...
Such fabrication is an established government practice and all.

Then again, is that just what they want us to think?

I would tend to disagree.

The press has always been responsible for it's own failure or success. You can't expect people to regulate it, or steer it in the right direction, when people can only possibly learn of it's misdeeds and mistakes through *gasp*, THE PRESS! The media dips into sensationalism because it allows itself to be driven by profit and whatever it's ratings are, they're NEVER enough. Not ALL people are going to care about what's on the news, it's as simple as that. You can't ruin the news trying to cater to idiots who don't care what's going on outside their small world, and yet, that's exactly what's happened. Sept. 11th should've been a wake up call for the media, as well. I don't know how people could stand for that kind of coverage. Anyone who's watched serious news like the BBC might agree. It was no less than 20 minutes after the planes hit, that NBC had created a 'music video' for the tragedy, with slides of fire, explosions, and people covered in ash flying across the screen as corny, dramatic music played in the background. Despite everything that was happening, it still made me want to turn off the television.

And I think a lot of people are sick and jaded by the nature of our news media, but it's hard to say if anyone will ever know how big this problem is because, again, they'd have to hear about it from the news media.

I (out of strange curiosity) read your post through a few times, and could extract absolutely no coherent meaning, though it looks nice on the page. You should maybe spend more time over here.

specious at best.

Right now, the /.'s competitor news site Kuro5Hin is down.

Hmm...maybe...

Come check out the Jon Katz story-of-the-day at k5!

After the completion of the English Channel Tunnel, this is now seen to be at least in the realm of possibility.

Heck, there has been some discussion on this already.

The simple way you "can tell what the truth is", is that every single other person associated with censorware.org has wanted Michael Sims to stop playing dog-in-the-manger with the censorware.org domain name. And not only has he refused, he's now turned it into a smear-site. Note this does not depend on whether or not you believe I am sane.

It's instructive to look at, e.g. Jonathan Wallace's account, and a public comment by Jamie McCarthy. This isn't objective proof, though, because we all could be ganging-up on Michael Sims (pile-ons have happened, Michael Sims is trying to create one on me).

I categorically deny the accusations of spamming Slashdot and similar. And the way to know the truth of that is simple logic. If he had anything, anything, serious on me, he'd be making maximum use of it. When you break it down, the only thing he has, is much calling me names, and that other people have called me names. In contrast, he still has the censorware.org registration

If you want, we can take this to e-mail.

There is a similar kind of site at www.kuro5hin.org

Also, check out Usenet. You'll need a newsreader and the address of a newsserver (your isp should have a server). I use Pan for newsreading on Linux, get it here

If you use Windows, try Freeagent, available here

I've been hanging out on K5 more often. Better advertising and not so BORING.

So what is a 'blog'.

• Slashdot,
• rc3.org,
• kruo5hin,
• Stuffed Dog, and
• Will Wheaton dot net

Kuro5hin also had an article about this "incident", and some very interesting comments were posted that you might want to check out.
Judge for yourself...

While Taco was busy snotting all of us with stupid April Fools crap, K5 was busy posting intelligent stories. They ran this story yesterday with a very interesting article attached and already some very good commentary. I highly recommend everyone read this one comment that sums up, I'd say, a lot of our thoughts.

particularly *if* certain real stories happened today (I didn't see any, so consider yourself lucky).

You mean besides all this?

In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here.

Hmm. Okay, maybe I can handle this.

Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!.

Come on. Don't just paste the ad copy into the story. Make it sound interesting.

Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled.

Okay, that's bullshit. Slashdot is NOT Slashdot without ACs and the ability to post anonymously. Lots of good information has been posted anonymously, including people posting information we find really interesting that could cost them their job.

If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.

Slashdot has now completely sold out. Period.

No ACs, and advertisements mixed in with real articles. Without even so much as an "Advertisement" icon (or, therefore, a way to filter them out).

Rusty, I'm coming back. Sorry for ever doubting you.

Given What Happened To The Censorware Project (censorware.org), I don't think submitting it to Slashdot as an article is even worth the e-mail.

I'll post it here just for reader enjoyment. I think it's better than many of the stories which WERE posted!

Spam "protection" - a modest proposal

by Seth Finkelstein
April 1 2002

The problem of Spam, i.e. junk e-mail, has been plaguing the net for years. This article makes a modest proposal for spam "protection", in terms of a novel economic analysis leading to the benefit of all concerned.

In economic terms, let's consider why there's profit in spamming (sending large numbers of unsolicited emails). This is due to the "cost-shifting" nature of the spam process. It takes very little effort to send a large number of e-mails. But e-mail is not free (as in beer). In effect, the spammer shifts the expense of the advertising campaign, from the seller, onto ISPs and users:

1. The ISP must pay (in resources) to distribute the spammer's ads
2. The user must pay (in time) to delete the spammer's ads

But what does this sorting organization do? Its only task is to try to identify spam from real mail. That is, it is paid to try to identify mail sent from spammers. However, since it is in an adversary relationship to the spammers, the spam-gangs have every reason to try to avoid such identification.

There have been some proposals to facilitate identification of spam by legally requiring labels. But that involves government and law. In fact, it's compelled speech! Instead, since the free market is the solution to all problems, the only proper course of action is to provide spammers with an economic incentive to identify themselves. After all, spam identification is the exact product being sold by third parties, so why pay a middle-man? If one is going to pay, for maximum market efficiency, why not pay the source?

In this scheme, the user pays a mailbox "protection fee" to an umbrella group, let's call it the "Spamafia". In return for this "protection", the "Spamafia" provides the user with a simple mailbox checking system which can be run over mail messages. Because this system works in a manner akin to passing items over a net barrier, it might be termed a "racket". So, the "racket" tests each piece of mail. Those mail messages which originate from members of the Spamafia each contain a certification token. In the process of testing the mail, this token is sent back to the Spamafia, and so redeemed to the individual spammer for a small fee, say a penny or so. In return, the user is given assurance that this message is certified as spam, and so can be automatically deleted without fear of losing legitimate mail. In essence, the spammer is given an incentive to also obtain a small amount of money from each smart user by being straightforward, rather than only trying to obtain a larger amount of money by fooling just a few suckers (and annoying everyone else).

The beauty of the system is that everyone has an incentive to participate. The spammers get more money, as the spams can generate income now from both the suckers, and the nonsuckers paying mailbox protection fees. There's no reason to evade spam-detection, in fact the opposite. The more people signed up to the protection racket, the more certification tokens are redeemed. The smart users get to have a workable mailbox, rather than one filled with junk. And they have the "peace of mind" that the mail being deleted is not important. It's the magic of the market at work.

Not that it makes it any less silly, of course. You might run over to kuro5hin or another reputable news source for the rest of the day if it's really that big of a deal (which I never understand but don't argue with either :3 ), there are other sites than Slashdot to fulfill your mindless headline propogation needs for 36 hours. ^_^;

If that doesn't whet your appetite, I have a great idea for next year: Research your stories and post them correctly, properly spelled. Hey, it's only once a year!

The story.

Yeah, right here.

As mentioned in the article, the doctrine of fair use came about originally through the courts, and only later was codified in U.S. law. If fair use were only a defense to infringement as defined by the law, and not a constitutional right, then we would expect the reverse: that fair use would have been created first by Congress, and only later recognized by the courts. But this is not what happened.

Unfortunately in every aspect *except* price, Linux looks more like a sustaining technology vis-a-vis Windows. Linux is the more secure, more high-end, more niche-like product. In the disruptive technology model, what happens is that *Windows* becomes reliable "enough" and hacker-pleasing "enough" and takes over from Linux.

Now Linux is free...that is true. But that is the only way it is like a disruptive technology. In fact that is not really like disruptive technologies either. They are usually cheaper. Free is strange.

Now Linux is indeed a disruptive technology compared to something else -- Sun. Linux on a PC, compared to Sun on a Sun box, has all the classic hallmarks of disruptive technology, and in fact is doing so.

I ranted more about this last year on another site. Here's a quote: "To take this to an extreme example, at some future date Windows CE might displace both Windows 2000 and Linux, and the Personal Web Server shipped with Windows might displace both Internet Information Server and Apache. This is highly unlikely, but it illustrates the direction in which disruption happens.".

And don't forget this profound comment where I ask the question ""Is the bazaar upmarket from the cathedral?" (read that again).

I wrote an article on K5 that takes the idea of buying senators to its logical extreme. You may find it interesting.

Failing website? Kuro5hin's star continues to rise, while Slashdot continues to stagnate. K5 gives its users complete control over the submissions queue, whereas Slashdot sits on an important VP3 story for days and posts stuff about foam-rubber computer cases instead (LOL!) The Slashdot crew isn't made up of bad people, but they're yesterday's news. Kuro5hin.org is where it's at.

See here

I don't know... Slashdot is really starting to fall behind. The lack of timeliness along with the whole advertisement thing and the "we don't give a shit about comment posters" thing and the public relations fiasco that resulted from the abusive mass-moderation of that Oracle thread... I don't know. Perhaps it's time to move on. As Leslie Nielsen once said, "Nothing to see here, please disperse."

MFS aka Mofo Spork doesn't want people to know his real e-mail address.

Why not? Does he not want people to e-mail him? What's up with that? e-mail MFS and let him know he is loved!

I just LOVE Vladinator's site! Especially the "fash" section, where I learned to cut the bottom off of an old shirt to use as a hair enhancement! Oh, and the "dance party" photos!

Of course, don't forget to read Vladinator's emails! Here you will discover how truly difficult it is to decide what to do on the weekends... have a pizza party? A fash party? Go to the mall with all of your friends? Have a sleepover and call boys on the phone?

In short, if you haven't checked out Vladinator's site, you don't know what you're missing!

Well,

Just to keep everyone informed, Theresa lost her job with the Slovenian Woman's Union, and as a result we are losing this apartment. Needless to say, between work and now looking for a place on short notice, I just simply will not be around at all. I will not be available by IRC or anything else for most of the next week. If anyone needs to reach me, the best way to do that is to call me at my In-Law's, where we will be staying for at least the next few weeks. The # there is 815-723-4796. My Scottlockwood@hotmail.com address will also work, but I do not know how much longer the @attbi.com address(s) will work as I do not know if they will have cable modem's where-ever we land. We will be staying in the same area, or moving a little north.

Captain_Tenille and Flikx - I know you are both busy, but please try and get the new guys totally setup - I'd hate to get a bad rep before we even really got started.

Thanks guys,
Scott
