Slashdot Mirror

The Astronomical term is a Super Jupiter, which describes a gas giant of four times or larger than Jupiter in our solar system.

A Jupiter sized planet or larger that is under 1 AU orbit from it's star is called a Hot Jupiter, because it will be heated up from it's star's heat.

Astronomers like Carl Sagan came up with those terms, including billions and billions and billions ever before McDonalds copyrighted that term to describe the number of people that get fat or unhealthy from eating at their fast food joints so Carl Sagan came up with a word called Google and Googleplex that popular web search engines stole and squatted on those domain names before Carl Sagan could register them.

Huh? How stupid can one get to use the Internet as a reliable source of information? As I and many others have written It it is on the Internet it must be true! as a joke for many that do fact-checking over the Internet.

Those that "fact check" over the Internet become known as Uncyclopedia Brown and will believe any wild far fetched conspiracy theory and do political attacks on vice-presidental candidates based on fictional stuff someone wrote on a blog like Sarah Palin believes that dinosaurs existed 4000 years ago and turned into oil. Not just liberals do those false rumors, the conservatives once said that Barack Obama is a Muslim and that was spread all over conservative blogs.

Sorry but Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information either, Wikitruth debunks their articles and shows a left-wing bias and corruption of admins and editors of making false or misleading information. PBS is not that much different from Wikipedia and has false and misleading information as well as management is corrupt in dealing with it.

So basically saying you use the Internet and Wikipedia and PBS to do fact checking is laughable at best. It is like trying to get accurate historical facts from Hollywood movies like "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars", "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction", "Rambo" as the way things really were in the past based on those movies.

Sometimes Slashdot is that way, I know Ars Technicia and other sites like Kuro5hin, IWETHEY, The Daily Kos, Red State, Little Green Footballs, Conservapedia, and others are false and misleading as well and sometimes written as a troll.

You pay your money, you take your chances. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Read everything with a grain of salt and use critical thinking, logic, and check for fallacies and personal attacks before you believe anything written on the Internet.

How did I become a "they" instead of a "he"?

Amiga Forever is an emulator, not as good as Amithlon, but based on Fellows and UAE. Those DVDs are not that accurate and you cannot get a good feel for how an Amiga works by simply using an emulator. Those DVDs are marketing hype for Amiga Forever and selling you more Amiga disk images and ROMs for later.

You want the true history of the Amiga, you talk to Atari, Commodore, and Amiga employees like I have. The history of the Amiga was written before the world wide web was invented, but the history of the Amiga over the Internet is a complete and total fabrication by Microsoft and Apple to downplay the Amiga into a failed gaming system and those Amiga Forever DVDs play on the Microsoft and Apple version of history that was posted on the Internet, but later found to be false and part of a propaganda effort to downplay the Amiga.

If it is on the Internet, it must be true! is your thinking and you are wrong.

I got my info from the Amiga by reading books on the Amiga and Commodore, talking to Atari, Amiga, Commodore employees, going to Amiga conventions to meet them, plus I have over 20 years of Amiga use and programming experience.

All you have is someone who posted as anonymous coward, who doesn't have jack squat to back up his/her research except for propoganda marketing DVDs and Ars Technicia bullsh*t written 20+ years after the Amiga history had already been written with little to no research except biased opinions by Microsoft and Apple and their users who totally hate the Amiga and anyone who dares to use it or speak about it.

Ars Technica? Might as well ask the Weekly World News about the origins of the Amiga? They'll tell you Batboy, UFO Aliens, and Bigfoot helped create the Amiga in the 1950's as part of Area 51, and it will be more accurate than anything posted on Ars Technica ever has or will be.

I guess next you'll be telling me that Wikipedia is factual and not liberal biased at all?

If it is on the Internet it must be true!

You think so? I've always found Audacity stupidly easy to use. I had a sound file I wanted to piece together, started up Audacity and was done two hours later without ever looking at the manual.

They need to make a game actually called Red Ring, to follow up their earlier hit Blue Screen.

Why does a dog always have to be kicked? Why can't it be a cat or a rabbit?

Cats get huffed. Wabbits awe foah hunting. Shh! Be vewy, vewy quiet!

Now, I understand why it wouldn't be a snake

Kick mah trouser snake and I be poppin' a cap in yo' ass, foo!

Only at slashdot would the first post be modded "redundant". Mods, please consult a dictionary, there are several on the internet. That was offtopic, not redundant.

As this comment will now directly address the parent, it is not offtopic. Mod it -1, lame.

Dude, robots are going to have to come a long, long way before... oops, bad choice of words.

Robots are going to have to, erm, get a lot more high tech before they'll satisfy. But at any rate, girlfriends go for twenty bucks here in Springfield. See A Nerd's Guide to Getting Laid. Unfortunately, there's nothing in that journal about robotics or the internet, although it does mention porn.

What was I talking about again?

Science fiction writers have been saying this for decades. Actually, I think the esteemed Vincent Cerf has been talking to Captain Obvious.

Robotics will have to both become far less expensive, and far more developed than now before this happens. I'm already 56, I may not see it.

The ones in cartoons do. I live in Springfield, a butterfly flipped me the bird yesterday! Of course, I'd been drinking a little...

Did you also know that the primary reason there is solid carbon dioxide on Mars is the density of the atmosphere, and not the distance to the sun?

Did you also know that if your mommy was any uglier, or your daddy wasn't drunk, you wouldn't exist? It's true! The existence of life is contingent on many factors.

After the Sony rootkit fiasco why in the HELL would anyone name a computer product "XCP"???!!!

Because most people have never heard of the rootkit fiasco (let alone "XCP"). Additionally I don't think most people who have heard of the rootkit would be dumb enough to confuse a bad copy protection system with a liquid cooled PC. Besides, a lot of acronyms double up for different things, there's only so many TLAs available in this world.

I'm not sure I'd want one. I don't care how quiet it is or how far I can overclock it. If they're dumb enough to screw up with its name, well...

Uncyclopedia has this to say about Slashdot trolls::

It is common knowledge that Slashdot is populated entirely by trolls, and no other form of life exists within its borders. The trolls constantly go around beating up other trolls through the use of arcane rituals such as '-1 Offtopic'. It seems that the Slashdottians do nothing except this constant abuse of each other (moderation in Slashdottese, although a more complicated version exists, called metamoderation, generally regarded to be one of the most evil products of our era).

Uncyclopedia has a few suggestions.

I'm guessing that you've never been to Illinois. "Welcome to Illinois! Pay toll."

The only toll roads in the whole state are north of I-80. Of course, you guys up there think Illinois' southern border is I-80 anyway.

Uncyclopedia has a good article about our great state.

Illinois boasts hundreds of thousands of miles of roadway, almost 1.7% of which are in drivable condition at any given time. The rest are under construction, fuelling the state's economy by adding needed jobs in the road construction industry, and the Illinois Political Patronage Brotherhood of Sign Holders and Shovel Leaners, which depends on constant road construction for its continued existence. To maintain the roads in this condition, state law requires concrete to contain at least 35% white corn meal (cleverly subsidizing the Illinois farmer as well as the road construction industry). It also mandates tar products to be replaced with black licorice in the manufacture of asphalt. During summer months, hapless Illinois home-owners across the state obtain big brushes and squeegees, and can be seen coating their driveways with a new layer of melted black licorice, vainly but valiantly attempting to prevent them (the driveways, not the home-owners) from disintegrating into grey pebbles. This explains the popular saying: "There are two seasons: Blizzard, and Tornado". Also synonymous with "Winter and Construction" in the North.

It's such a pity they do it using people with a different personality disorder ...

The trouble is that people who follow satire know more about the news than people who read the actual news. So eventually we'll all be reading UnNews and fake news sites!

Well, a lot of uncyclopedia's stuff is hilarious, but other articles are just true pain. Most of them are pretty damned funny, though. This sounds like it may be similar.

here in central Illinois we have two seasons: Freezing cold and blistering humid hot. As the Uncyclopedia says, "There are two seasons: Blizzard, and Tornado". Also synonymous with "Winter and Road Construction" in the North.

It's rare when you're in the car without either the air or heat being on in the car.

Oh, yes, the wikipedia should give the same preference to Iraq news over the Olympics that is demonstrated by such responsible, independent organizations like Uncyclopedia or The Onion.

What? Me worry?

He should do some research

Wikipedia? Bah, I do my research using Uncyclopedia!

I think you mean Dr. Sbaitso.

Considering I don;t really give a damn, and wont bother to invesitage further, I find it interesting that A: There's no Wiki, and B: On the MediaSentry wiki, it says they were hired for this, and C: http://www.mediasentry.com/ does not redirect to http://www.safenet-inc.com/ it only mentions that SafeNet now owns MediaSentry, but MediaSentry still exists as a company.

That's why I prefer Uncyclopedia! Far superior for serious research! Here's the Safenet wiki!

Are you mental? Seriously?

Stop! Now! Screw in your craniums quick!

He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

Sounds more than likely he bumped into Ross Perot on a dark night.
