Slashdot Mirror

I am the original poster (and the person who started the "naked and petrified" trend on Segfault, though a bunch of other lame-brains picked up on it... the sexually explicit comments were NOT mine, and I'm also the author of the famous "immobilized and not fully clothed" letter to ESR, the first ever "naked and petrified" post to reach a moderation point of 5, and stay there), and I would like to clarify.

I would NEVER transform a girl into a statue unwillingly if she didn't enjoy being a statue. If she did NOT like being a statue, I would immediately restore her to her animate state, apologize thoroughly, and go look for females with more of a proclivity for being marble.

Rufies are NOTHING of the sort. They do NOT actually transform flesh into any kind of inert substance while preserving the consciousness of the transformed person. That's what's important.

In all of my fantasies, the women LOVE being statues. In fact, the transformation is usually voluntary, or at the least, temporary. Many of the women I talk to about this say they DON'T think they'd probably enjoy being statues. But until science or magic actually advances far enough to find out, we don't know WHAT it would be like to be a statue, and whether or not the women would enjoy it.

So how can you decide if it's good or bad?

And since it's something that can never happen, in our lifetimes or probably ever, what is the bag fat hairy yak-brained idea??

Petriphilia (or statuephilia) is a VERY common interest. You'd be surprised how many hundreds of us there are on the Internet, and how many THOUSANDS in the world. So before you switch into FLAME FLAME FLAME FLAME mode, maybe you should read what this article is actually saying. How would you like it if I criticized YOUR sexuality?

Okay, I'll do just that.

GOD, YOU'RE SICK! YOU ACTUALLY HAVE *SEX* WITH PEOPLE! THAT'S DISGUSTING! YOU CAN GET ALL KINDS OF DISEASED AND PREGNANCY AND STUFF DOING THAT!!! SICK SICK SICK!! YOU SEXUALISTS MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT! I'M HEVER READING SLASHDOT AGAIN!

There. You didn't like it very much, did you.

Throw stones elsewhere, or better yet, don't throw stones at all.

I was actually rather disheartened when this got moderated up. That's not what's supposed to happen. My "Open Letter to ESR" was supposed to be moderated up, and it was. Because, not to brag, it was very clever. This was no more clever than my favorite cartoon, Pokey the Penguin. It was meant for those who, like me, keep thresholds at -1, sort by score, and always skip to the bottom of the article to find the REAL good stuff.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused by it being moderated up.

For those who want to learn more about people who love turning girls to stone:

We're really quite normal, good, honest people. Please don't judge us based on the fact that one of us (me) enjoys a good Troll now and then!!!

Good day, and God bless.

A Russian aviation fan, who naturally happens to be a fanatic Serb supporter, put up a page about US and Allied losses in the Kosovo campaign.

Check the site out for more information about the F-117 loss, and other claimed US and Allied losses. The F-117 is credited to SA-6 missiles in this page.

Note to lawyers and other scum:
This information is widely available by now, and no matter what you do, you will not be able to supress it. It was the DVD consortium that f***ed up, and now you're trying to solve a technological problem with threats and legal action?

Hilarious, check this out: http://members.xoom.com/boxchocolat e/mahir.html

I agree that there is a good deal of stylistic variation on the English version. There are also differences in transliteration of Turkish words (Türkiye comes out Turkey some places, Tirkiye, in other places), etc. The most likely explaination is tht Mr. Cagri wrote the text in Turkish, and several different people helped in the translation to English.

The fact that there is a Turkish version which looks to be well composed, seems to be a good indication that this is not a hoax.

For being exploited beyond anyone's wildest dreams, this guy took the whole thing rather well. As a matter of fact, he even went and turned it into a "Make the world a better place" thing.

I can't get over how he didn't get pissed off over this, or at least he didn't mention it in the story. And to further prove that this world has not yet turned into a pulsing blob of shit, alot of people sent pictures to him, with various humorous messages like "WE LOVE MAHIR" or "WE KISS YOU TOO!".

Nice little story that shows that one person can make a difference ;)

Mahir's story.

7) Someone claiming to be you starts roaming the Web making wild claims. You want to make sure people know it isn't really you.

By now, most of you have probably seen the incredibly virulent 'I kiss you' page. The interesting thing is that the page was an unauthorized copy of one from Turkey, and it ended up getting over a million hits in 3 days. Mahir's strange story is here .

In case you don't know why this is funny, it refers to an unintentionally amusing personal homepage recently doing the rounds of the mailing lists. (I believe NtK mentioned it too.)

Ah Mahir, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems... or just the real name of Transmeta's new chip... you decide!

Bornfree4u is up now and will soon be slashdotted away. :) if you got problems getting to the index the links are decss.zip for the Winbinary and decss.gz for, um whatever the linuxers out there have...

Try Ra2Wav. It's a windows app that will convert a .RA file to .WAV and it supports G2. Get it HERE.

It works under wine, but you need to have RealPlayer G2 installed as well. The more recent wine releases will install G2 player, with a bit of messing around, it should work fine.

Yes, in addition to a number of "mainstream" sites with interesting references to petrification, there are actually two very good "for statuephile by statuephile" websites, complete with message boards, a chat room, hundreds of images, hundreds of stories, etc etc etc.

Here you go:

The Hall of Statuary

The Medusa Realm

They're both EXCELLENT sites, and have links to other sites of interest. Stop by the message boards and say hello if you want, we'd love to hear from you.

• JSetiTracker, and add-on Java application to the Seti@Home command line client.
• Binary Genetic Algorithm Tool.
• Nova, an IRC client application.

Dear ESR:

(No GIFs due to patent problems)

I'm sure everyone at Slashdot is familiar with the internal strife and conflict that can currently be found in the Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified movement, a primary cause of which is YOU and your cronies and your watered-down version of the ideals of Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified, which you laughably refer to as Mae Ling Mak Immobilized and Not Fully Clothed. You've taken what was good and pure about Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified and watered it down so it would be more tolerable and acceptable to conservative blowhards who are afraid to think outside the terms of society's established notions and conditions. This is detailed on our web page (no GIFs due to patent problems!!!) in our founder's document "Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified vs. Mae Ling Mak Immobilized and Not Fully Clothed," so I won't repeat what's already been said.

You state that by changing "Petrified" to "Immobilzied" you placate those who are afraid of the idea of petrification, and by replacing "Naked" with "Not Fully Clothed" you placate those who fear nudity. I SAY THAT THIS IS WRONG!!! The entire HEART of Mae Ling (No GIFs due to patent problems) Mak naked and petrified is MAE LING MAK.... NAKED.... AND PETRIFIED. The nudity and the petrification are the essential elements!

This bastardized philosophy you preach flies in the face of the Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified movement, which you ONCE claimed to support! (No GIFs due to patent problems) Now you've stomped on our heads on your rise to glory with your own hacked-up version of our philosphy. "Immobilized and not fully clothed" indeed! Why, that could be referring to a paralyzed Polish cowboy wearing a bikini for all we know! (No GIFs due to patent problems)

We know what's GOOD for the people, even if the people don't know what's good for themselves. What's good for the people is Mae Ling Mak, naked, and petrified. The people (No GIFs due to patent problems) NEED a naked Mae Ling Mak statue. You can't dispute this. You believe this yourself. And yet you refuse to stand up for what you believe! You say, "Well, maybe it's okay if she's not petrified, as long as she can't move," or (No GIFs due to patent problems) "Well, maybe she doesn't have to be naked, but she could at least take her shirt off or something." You BELIEVE she should be naked and petrified, but you ALLOW other lesser variations on this perfect theme into what could otherwise be a strong, world-dominating paradigm! (No GIFs due to patent problems)

You've sold out to the court of popular opinion. You're a blight on the face of the Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified movement. I hope you enjoy your Mae Ling Mak Immobilzed and Not Fully Clothed movement while it lasts, because guess what, we're going to run you (No GIFs due to patent problems) out of town!

FURTHER (No GIFs due to patent problems) NOTE: Please see THIS COMMENT in which several misconceptions of a person referencing Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified incorrectly were addressed.

Anyway, my QUESTION, is in your official response to (no GIFs due to patent problems) our founder's attack on the Mae Ling Mak Immobilized and Not Fully Clothed movement, you left SEVERAL major points unaddressed.

1. How you expect EITHER of the two Mae Ling Mak immobilization movements to compete with its competitors, the FreeMLM, OpenMLM, and NetMLM movements, with all this silly infighting that's going on.

2. The accusation that you simply watered-down Mae Ling Mak Naked and Petrified not for any real moral reason, or even to make it more acceptable to the general public, but simply to make it more acceptable to big business and help to increase profit potential? (No GIFs due to patent problems) Do I smell the rancid stench of Capitalism on your breath, ESR??

3. Ain't Mae Ling Mak really cute?

4. (No GIFs due to patent problems)

5. Just what's the big idea, anyway???

Those are all the questions.

I hope you'll be able to clear this up. Thank you for your time.

Those would be some very cute statues! Natalie Portman as well! And lately I've discovered that Leelee Sobieski is very attractive also. And let us not forget Jessica Alba! And Miranda from UserFriendly! And many others!

Good statuephile/petrification websites:

p.s. Wouldn't it be very funny to refer to Natalie Portman as Natalie Portscan?

I mean, come on folks !!

Before the DOJ case, Microsoft single handedly invented Operating Systems, Graphical User Interfaces, Word Processing and the Internet !!
The DOJ is holding back this immensely innovative company from inventing Virtual Reality, Embedded systems and on-demand streaming media. If they don't lay off soon somebody else might think of it first !!

music

Does anybody know of (or have themselves) any mirrors of Soloteks website? The article hasn't been on Slashdot for very long..... CNN linked to it. As someone said, is this the CNN effect?

If you have one reply to this message with it! Thanks!

... is someone that can post the translation on their website, providing a direct link. Perhaps Slashdot could create some kind of special area for this?

Also a solution similar to this would allow some that speaks German or someone that has translated babelfish to english can post their finished translation.

Isn't it amazing that the internet has few language bounds? (A bit off topic, but this is important)

Disclaimer: Although I work for one of the biggest smart card makers in the world and the inventor of Java Card (Java on smart card), as far as I know AmEx is not using our cards.

As for Blue, Frost and Sullivan's analysis is a good place to start. Personally, I think it is a good thing: get consumers used to idea of smart cards and making everything free at first really helps. And if they use Java Card based smart card, they'll be able to roll out new features in the future. Besides, free card, free reader and 0% APR are hard to beat (unless they start cutting checks, I guess). At least I've applied for the Blue card.

Linux support probably can be found at: http://www.linuxnet.com/ (I say probably because AmEX is highly likely to use one of the well known readers, much of them supported by MUSCLE project)

As for security: much of the first 40 posting I've read are either wrong or misinformed. I'd recommed that you read some smart card introduction before posting here:

Smart card forum: http://www.smartcrd.com/

Java BBS

How about a conferencing system? (I always viewed a BBS as a conferencing system wannabe :-)

Way back in the Dark Ages (mid 80s) I wrote the Unix-based CoSy system that (among other things) serves as the basis for BIX (Byte Information Exchange), (also NIX in Japan and CIX in the UK).
A while back I started in on a Java version of CoSy (with some added features I've been wanting to do), and its largely complete but has been on the back burner for a while now.

However, some Bixen recently have expressed some interest in it, and there seems to be some interest here, so I'll put the stuff up on my web page as soon as I get a chance (I need to check the files and add appropriate copyright/GPL notices, etc. Maybe (maybe) over the weekend.

(I'd love to be able to release the C source for the original CoSy but I don't have the rights. It was originally developed at U. of Guelph and the rights later sold to some Vancouver-based company who don't seem to have done anything with it in the last few years. The Web eclipsed it to a degree.)

i have been thinking about trying windowmaker, but am wondering if they have or are planning to add more transparency support. anyone have any news? thanks

C'mon people, you're supposed to ignore trolls, not feed 'em. Katz is nothing more, nothing less. Katz's job is just to stir things up by saying something outrageous in the hopes that someone, ANYONE will notice. As to the silly marketing being something new...WTF...Remember: the Star Wars Holiday Special was made in 1978. Actually, I think there was MORE marketing & hype back then. Christ, when the first one hit I went see Darth Vader at Thalheimers; a JC Penny type dept. store when I was 7. I still have a big photo of Darth Vader that says Thalheimers on it.
