Slashdot Mirror

A restraining order against an anonymous coward on Slashdot? Heh. Almost always, the people assigned to these sorts of duties are doing an "ammends project" to be allowed back "onlines" with the Cthurch of Scientology. They seem to get picked for the nasty jobs because (a) they're deniable as working for Scientology, (b) they're frequently judgment-proof because they have no assets or they're so dubious in sanity that no one would believe any liable and no damages could be proven. (There's also the danger that Scientology would help out in the legal fight in order to make it as time-consuming and expensive for a critic as possible. "The purpose of a lawsuit is to harass", in the words of L. Ron Hubbard.)

It's not worth my time because I can do more to help expose the organization in an hour of working on my media references page than wasting months in court.

It's no accident that he Godwin'ed himself immediately. When Scientology starts flinging poo at anyone who dares criticize the "most ethical organization on the planet" (their words), they always reach for Hitler and the Nazis first: Germany (which is why Cruise had recent troubles there), psychologists and psychiatrists, newspapers, journalists, Germany again (Bringing your kids along to a Nazi uniformed protest is weird by anyone's standard yes?), and probably a lot more. It's no wonder that some people occasionally fling it back, where it seems to sit better (and when the poo sits...):

*"[..] This is nothing compared to what will happen when we start taking SPs out of the government. They are rightly afraid. So don't you be. Tomorrow belongs to us. Inevitably there are bumps in the road."

I have Primus DSL lite here in Ontario, I download about 400 Gb via Bittorrent everymonth and haven't had so much as an email from them... http://www.primus.ca/

Scientology didn't even do their standard Fair Game defamation page on Stan, I'm shocked!

Discipline Global Mobile comes with Elephant Talk, right? (The last thing Clippy said to me.)

The first rave happened in the 1960s. Here's audio-visual evidence

(Or he broke into my test page to generate the name.)

While they have the hood open, it'd be nice if apps using SAPI didn't require users to diddle with the default security settings to make it go. (Not that I have any important apps that use it. ;)

This and Bill figured that it meant Oracle or Borland would go under, so he said okay.

Still got mine.

Nah, you'd have to hack the clippit.acs file to get him to talk. And that would be evil. Bwahahaha!

First thing we do is smash all the secret Scientology vaults -- because after emerging from a Logan's Run type complex after hundreds of years underground, the last thing people need is a Personality Test! You can spot the vaults by their special signs in deserts and parking lots.

From the sounds of it, they already have more information than a toy e-meter reads, so maybe...

I'd have thought they'd try the Establishment Clause of the 1st. Just claim to be some UFO cult/religion, or something. That's something people would believe, and they could get a lot of money from people if they claimed it was for Nike "Just Do It" outfits and comet tickets.

Office of the Future!

Who would have guessed?

If it has a display or touchscreen, just add Clippy!

They used to have a Clippit Fellow, until he went bad and they had to cut him off.

Clippy sez...

Oh yeah?

One of these pictures is for a zombie movie ad on their Xenutron screen. The other one is for one of their organizations. I forgot which is which. And I think this one is a mind-flayer or something.

As someone from Calgary, and who saw Telus employees on strike this morning... yes, there are alternatives. Shaw Cable and 3web do cable internet and primus offers ADSL service in direct competition with Telus. In fact, it's law.

When Telus started up and bought out AGT (Alberta Government Telephones) part of the deal was that they couldn't squash out all competition, so they have to let Primus survive. Primus undercuts everything that Telus does and essentially resells the service, but there is an option.

Of course, they will have that website blocked as well. That's why you use Shaw, or 3web (same relationship as Telus with Primus).

Yeah, he has to keep his distance from computers these days.

I don't think Clippy needs to be that polite.

I still use the little TV that came with it.

Once I finish protoboarding the 220M IDE hard drive interface for my MC-10, I'll have to write a web server for it. A 0.89 MHz 6803 should be able to handle it!

Works here. Oh well, I'll do it the hard way.

Hey, just a sugestion. Poor little guy lost his job at Microsoft. No one will hire him and he just wants a hand up, not a hand out.

When the Internet becomes a battleground, you need cool sound effects!

Firewall Kazowie adds sound effects to your firewall by port/protocol, without affecting security. Now you can get real-time audio alerts when someone is knocking at your ports. (ZoneAlarm currently supported, XP SP2 Firewall next.) Build 1.0.1.1

This software is supported by feedback. Drop me a note if you've tried it.

The Spam Tour site would be a nice match with this one.

When I looked at this picture of the NLS, I recognized it immediately. Mine's almost the same, probably a later version. I can't figure out why they used such a big display however.

I asked him to give me a hand hacking it, but no luck.

Use this one.

Okay, here's my first cut at a new ad. View cautiously!

I still have a 6803 kicking around. 20k of ram, cassette interface, 8k Basic...

You haven't met Dr. Clippen yet. (Too busy to do a new clippytoon.)

Huh? But mine was a Yamauchi!

I know who's not pointing fingers.

"If you use Firefox, someone might die!"

And at the end of the call...

The refined Clippy approach will use an expert learning system and database to provide friendly personalized filtering.

His reaction

I just hope that it's an open source singularity. Otherwise the future could get ugly.

And why not? Clippy knows everything!

(Did you think I was kidding? Bwahahaha!)
