Slashdot Mirror

We at the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) would like to wish you seasons greetings on this most glorious day.

As we reach the third anniversary of the momentous destruction of two large ugly buildings by the highly trained agents of mossad (Israels notorious anti-gentile secret service), and the war against sandniggers everywhere that ensued, we have entered into what is widely recognised as a golden age of trolling. This could not have been possible without the assistance of YOU!

Without the glorious genocidal activites of hooknosed Jews, the gulliblity of pinko Slashbots soaking up whatever Michael Moore shits out, the whining of eurotrash clinging to the tattered remnants of Socialism, and of course, without the poorly washed Muslims who, as we speak, continue their holy and righteous Jihad against the evils of the Israeli Bus Service. Without these people, without you people, our jobs would be so much more taxing, and far less rewarding.

As your family gathers around the Osama Tree to exchange your gifts of toy Boeings and charred Firemen, we at the GNAA hope that you can all get together in celebration. To pass down your memories of the shock, awe, and arousal you felt. To recall your joy as your anti-Bush FUD was modded to +5, insightful. To remember your hilarious puns at the size of John Kerry's chin, and how they earned you +o in #politics. To giggle girlishly at how your crippling zergrush wowed all who viewed your rancidly coloured MIDI infested xanga blog.

But most importantly of all. The GNAA would also like to issue our fondest desire for world peace. And hold firm in our resolve that the bloodshed can only be resolved through the pacifying and unifying acts of male-on-male sodomy and fellatio, and through a peaceful male-only world. Can the leaders of the world put aside their differences once and for all and love their fellow man? Can we swap our rusty kalashnikovs for a warm meaty dong? Our explosive belts for exploding rectums? We can only hope.

Happy Holidays!

About WTC

The World Trade Center (WTC) was built in the 1960's by well-known drug-addicted architect Guy Niguere. On massive levels of barbiturates at the time, Niguere made many mistakes in the design of the building, but structurally and stylistically. This led to the towers easy destruction by the Israeli.

And about the bg music; for a couple months I had the volume for my music cut in half when I cut it all together, but suddenly decided that lots of people had a mute button within easy reach of their keyboard. Bad assumption I guess, assume makes and ass out of you and me etc., but I can see where you guys are coming from. I have done web work with usability before, bringing a large portion of the NASA National Space Science Data Center website (about 500ish pages) up to government-mandated Section 508 compliance and have felt a small twang of guilt once in a while about all the JavaScript, the bg, the music, and the weird text. Just realize that I believe that certain contexts allow for bending of the usual usability rules (gaming sites, pop culture pages, the personal blog sites of teenagers) when the intended audience is very focused.

Point is, I would much rather have my page look terrible than look like yours. I hope you can understand.

Peace

IE makes some bad bad mistakes in the way it renders and handles pages. Unfortunately people have built their websites around that IE functionality.
*wry grin* Bingo. People are designing their webpages according to IE because it was there first and was the better browser for years. I've tried converting people to FireFox, particularly after all this publicity about browser exploits, but the fact is it doesn't always work the same and even if that's the result of Microsoft not properly handling HTML, that's what people are used to. I think it was Brinks in The Mythical Man Month who noted that when you tried to replace a system, you had to not only have it make all the correct responses, but also have it create the incorrect ones that people were used to. In that case, he was talking about people using the "garbage" in the registers when the OS started because it had some predictable properties.

The US never directly supported Bin Laden. Even Bin Laden says he never took our money or weapons. The US supported the Taliban and the Taliban indirectly supported him. The Saudis and Pakistan's ISI provided funding and weapons to the foreign fighters that went to Afghanistan (some of it at our behest). The US didn't create Bin Laden or train him. At most the US is at fault for not scrutinizing the people they did support. In fact, it was Reagan's fault because he refused to offer the Soviets (how come nobody faults them for invading and killing 750,000 Afghanis?) some trade-offs to pull out. The continued fighting help produce those extremists. The Soviets deserve at least half the blame for starting that whole war.

As for Saddam, the US didn't put him in power in any fucking way. The guy murdered and fought his way to his dictatorship. The CIA is not all powerful. Hell they can't even keep track of some WMDs. The US had relations with him since he was a counter-weight to Iran but the countries who provided the conventional weapons with which he took power were the Soviets, the Chinese, and the French. And as we've seen, Saddam had almost no WMD - which he may or may not have got from the US, but which he would've got one way or another. I think it was more likely that the French, Soviets and Chinese were the ones who sold Iraq the WMD tech since they sold him everything else. The US did cut off relations with Saddam in 1986 when he gassed the Kurds.

Just because you were friendly with an asshole because he could help you out, doesn't make you an asshole. The asshole is still responsible for his own actions.

I don't know if this goes into Computer Science or Musicology, but people have tried composing music using mathematical equations for quite some time...

For example, I propose (also an example here

This site also gives fractal and algorithmic music to download while this one give you the opportunity to download a fractal music software (Windows, sorry)

Maybe we can get a computer to compose like Mozart and finish his symphonie ?

Something like these people do :
"We are a group of students and faculty members in the University of Wisconsin - Madison working on the exciting project of applying artificial intelligence in analyzing and composing music.

In this research, mathematical models will be developed to analyze a given collection of music pieces, represented in MIDI format. In particular, machine learning and artificial intelligence problem solving methods such as neural network, time series prediction, and statistical pattern classification will be used, and to simulate the process of music composition through the results of analysis. The overall objective is to analyze polyphonic music of certain composers, and create new pieces that retain stylistic details which distinguish composers from one another. "

You can even dowload some of their computer generated music...

As you yourself said, "individuals with a hobby that have brought formidable computing skills and analysis techniques from other fields" (really nice javadoc...) but I'm not sure they "are largely ignorant of the works within music departments", as they seem to take a nice approach on the subject...

What if everybody chose their own URL to point to for nigritude ultramarine and tried to skew the results? Never mind that MY link to nigritude ultramarine has nothing to do with nigritude ultramarine at all. Seeing enough links to my site with it looking like a link to nigritude ultramarine could be enough. Ya think?

Yeah, you have a point, but I'm sure that if you look at enough of them, you'd get pretty tired of how the digital camera photos looked, especially when you know you could make them ten times better.

From the writer's point of view, he makes a lot of sense -- a lot of people, although probably knowledgeable of those tips, choose not to use them, and because of that, they suffer from low-quality photos on their blogs.

Personally, I don't care, but I don't look at that many moblogs either -- just Xanga. And most of my friend's use digital cameras or scanned images on their blogs, so it doesn't really bother me.

As for the actual content...
Well it's nothing unusual compared to what I have seen in my own blogging experience. I don't know why I'd bother with this site, there are other sites with more people and more interesting people out there.

I think you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Regular readers of SomethingAwful will recognize these links below. I think it's fucking hilarious when the Awful Link of the Day is some poor schmucks' Xanga journal. I will seriously pee myself with laughter as the Goons troll the FUCK out of some depressed teenage AOL users' "deep thoughts". Here are two recent examples:

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=LiL_AngeL_cUti E [WARNING: JavaScript Hell!] - This journal belonged to some Asian teenage chick who thinks it is cool to TYpE iN AlTERnAtING CAps aNd tO MIzspEEl wERdz. Also let's not forget the embededd background MIDI file (now defunct), the JavaScript to scroll the titlebar, the falling stars and, of course, the images on the front page linking back to the users' local disk drive (which have since been removed). Apparantly it took LiL_AngeL_cUtiE a few days to update her journal, and when she came back there were several hundred nasty comments from SomethingAwful followers waiting in her guestbook, not to mention the ChatterBox on the sidebar (now gone) that was abused to Hell. She folded, deleted the comments, and eventually just wiped the site. Hats off to the Goon Squad for effacing this poor user from the Internet.

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=xpunkxjapxgurl x [WARNING: HTML color abomination!] - More recently featured as an ALoD, the diary of xpunkxjapxgurlx (who seems to be neither Japaneese nor very punk) details the sordid life of a teenage goth who's hobbies include crying, whining, bad psudeo-gothic poetry, lame personality quizzes, and inserting the letter 'x' randomly in words. Once again the Goons arrived in droves to remind this poor Xanga reader of their failure as a human being. But this time the user had the cojones to leave the comments intact (in true "I'm-depressed-and-I-don't-care" goth fashion), but not before posting a response in typical purple 48-point style about how the nation, as a whole, sucks donkey dicks. I personally wouldn't be wholly surprised if xpunkxjapxgurlx took the advice that SomethingAwful's readers left in the guestbook and slit her wrists in the tub. Hey, what's a teen goth gonna do?


That's all for today's SomethingAwful ALoD reviews. If you have any more sites that need a followup, post a link below.

From my exercise journal, thanks for giving me the inspiration to write something I've been meaning to write.

When I started running I was having some serious pains. I started doing some research and decided that running barefoot might do me some good. It worked wonders and I ended up starting a blog to

(a) Document my beginnings as a runner, going from out of shape geek to slightly in shape geek over time.
(b) Allow other people to look at my experiences and learn from them when they start running.
(c) Allow other people to look at my experiences and learn from them when they start running *gasp* barefoot!

Will you find that info on about.com or running.com? Hell no, they have entire sections devoted to shoes and you rarely get to read a diary of someone who's just starting out. 95% of the info I find online is either a small site or something of the sort. Why? Because you can have all the professionally written pages on the net, but in the end the experiences of another person is always invaluable.

BTW, if anyone's interested here's my blog.

I hope this technology makes it over to weblog sites like Blogger and Xanga. Both of those sites have excellent tools for IE, but the Mozilla versions of the same tools completely blow goats.

Of course, there are always XUL-based alternatives like mozBlog and LiveLizard, or the very excellent Composite. Composite's great - it gives you a WYSIWYG editor for any <TEXTAREA> that Mozilla encounters... using it to make this comment :-)
