Slashdot Mirror

Actually, according to the AP article: Congress inserted "under God" at the height of the Cold War after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, religious leaders and others who wanted to distinguish the United States from what they regarded as godless communism.

Prepare to be Nuked! Thats what you get for your godless ways!

This time the threat is real. Save us from the godless capitalists!

2) Use the popular Bush-ism sentiments (e.g., anyone who disagrees with us is a godless evil-doer)

3) Be a friend to other big businesses:
- to Intel and AMD, who will have new chips to peddle just when they're reaching the point of diminishing returns on processor speeds. No more wasting millions on sub-micron research - now you get to sell the stuff you've already sold just by adding simple new logic for security. Damn near pure profit (remember when CD's replaced records?)
- to the RIAA and MPAA just and their evil empires are in danger of crumbling (regarding those godless thieves, a.k.a. people, Microsoft will quote Richard M. Nixon to the *AA's: "once you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow"), and
- countless other companies (read: stock market)

Since it is a huge new source of potential revenue (for Intel, AMD, Microsoft, RIAA, MPAA, and countless others) those business will put pressure (and money) on the US government (which has already proven to be big business's best return on investment ever) who will undoubtedly enact the legislation that Microsoft wants - all alternatives to Microsoft will be ruled as unsafe and therefore tools of terrorism and be made illegal

4) Tell lies to kill the open source argument "Microsoft is also publishing the system's source code. We are trying to be transparent in all this, says Allchin. " (bullshit, say I)

5) Announce this new good-citizen behavior before the anti-trust actions are finished ("see, we're really good guys, honest")

6) Publish press-releases masquerading as news through the news outlet that they control

7) TGD (total galactic domination) now within reach - laugh all the way to the bank

The time is nigh for Microsoft's wet dream: Business and world circumstances are approaching a critical mass point for Microsoft to explode its grasp to own and control everything. And they'll have control of and access to (sure, Microsoft won't have a back door - they're trustworthy) all your personal data. Be very afraid.

This is fine for intraoffice communication, but what about the real world? I think that a solution for connection VoIP -> POTS could be easy, with a little knowledge of Linux drivers.

Get an older box (P2 400 or so), with plenty of PCI slots, and preferrably an onboard NIC also. Get some Winmodems equal to the # of pci slots.

WinModems, even in all of their Microsoft-sponsored godless evil towards open source platforms, are basically A/D and D/A converters hooked to a phone jack. It should be relatively simple to talk (no pun intended) to them in software and use one as an interface to POTS. It has all of the neccesary hardware, and writing a sound driver for it shouldn't be too difficult. A brand of WinModem with fairly standard hardware could be decided on by the implementer, and drivers written for that. (Winmodems? Standard? ...)

Client software with available source code could be modified to use those, as well as control the phone-line functions. Just run an instance per WinModem.

Honestly, I think that this could work, and it would be a great hack to accomplish. Anyone fancy a go at it?

• much confusion in MS as to whether or not this is a good thing

You are joking, right? First, this requires a hardware mod, which Microsoft despises - hey, it's a Microsoft Xbox, packed full of juicy Microsoft intellectual property and trade secrets, right? They'll likely have mods prosecuteds as DMCA violation, because they bypasses DRM mechanisms.

But worse than that, it allows godless heathens to run FREE SOFTWARE on their hardware. Given the foaming-at-the-mouth FUD they vomit forth whenever the GPL is mentioned, expect them to suggest that Evil Pirates will run the notorious hacker OS Linux on it, allowing the viral GPL to spread throughout the whole Interweb, corrupting and assimilating all that it touches. ZDnet will faithfully reproduce pretty much any FUD they produce about this.

Further, given that PVR opponents seem to have escaped a mainstream press drubbing for describing ad-skipping as theft, expect them to assert that Xbox purchasers have an implied obligation to purchase Microsoft - and only Microsoft - games and add-ons for it, to support the subsidised initial purchase. I'll even predict the phrase, which will be spoken by a flat voiced, dead eyed corporate zombie: "Of course, the Xbox is about having fun, and we want legitimate Xbox purchasers to have fun. But they have to be responsible about it, and support legitimate software development. We think its very important that we educate legitimate Xbox gamers about this, and that we explain why hacking our Xbox and running pirate and viral GPL software kills legitimate developers. And their children, their beautiful golden haired children. Won't someone think of the legitimate software developers' golden haired children!" Er, OK, that last bit might just be implied (or feature as a ZDnet "editorial"), but you get the point. ;-)

And lastly, what do they care about DivX? They are busy touting the DRM benefits of WMF and trying to persuade hardware manufacturers to support WMF alongside MPEG2. They do not want other players in this game. Note that their apologists at ZDnet invite you to infer that DivX is only useful for piracy. Yes, I know that de facto it is heavily used for distributing unlicensed copies, but that's because it's a damn efficient codec with cross platform implementations. If unlicensed copies switch to using WMF (with the DRM turned off) to distribute, will that become a "controversial" format? I think not.

No, I don't see that Microsoft will be in confusion about how to handle this. It's their box, containing their trade secrets, and we should keep our filthy commie hacker hands off of it. The hobbyist market is simply too small to make a difference to their income: in fact, every Xbox purchased by a hacker loses them money. They won't like this. They won't like it at all.

That's not what was said.

The mark of the beast isn't a physical mark. This is hard to explain in such a short space, but... The mark of the beast is on your forehead when you share the thoughts of those who exercise the authority of the beast(selfish man, man apart from Truth, apart from God, lawless, the son of erdition). The beast knows only force as a means to achieve it's goals, for the beast, seeing itself as the center of all things, does not really care about justice or anything else, only about what it can get. The beast rules today, as leaders everywhere know only force as a first and last resort. They babel on about peace and justice but their hearts are set on any war and laws which will profit them and expand their power, the rights of their fellow man be damned.

The mark of the beast is on your hand when your work goes towards furthering the agenda of those who exercise the authority of the beast. An example would be giving money to advance a war. When man treats life like a jungle, and treats his fellow man like prey, consuming each other for their own satisfaction, then they have the mark of the beast indeed. There is nothing enlightened about violence, but to turn the other cheek is the mark of the Son of God.

When religions, which were setup to teach man love of Truth, are used to coerce(force) members of the religion to believe something that furthers the agenda of selfish man(the beast), then that religion becomes the great whore(unfaithful to her husband, the Truth) that rides upon the back of the beast(exercises the authority of the beast). Which is what this story is about and why I mentioned the mark at all. The godless powers, man with no soul, a mere beast, are forcing their will upon the powers that were once used by God(Truth) to bring people out of the hell that is being a beast. Or, to put it wordly: The powers that be, powers fed by the money interests in the world who maintain their power through force(and the threat of it), have forced the churches to bow to their sovereingty, thus accepting their mark, and forced the churches to give their thoughst to their followers, thus encouraging their followers to accept the mark on their foreheads. Those nations who do not stand with the beast power, recieve strict economic sanctions, or in other words, those who have not taken the mark, are not allowed to buy or sell.

Of course, if you're a fun-dumb-mental-case, er, fundamentalist, then none of this will make sense to you because you believe in a literal mark and a literal beast, even though the scripture that contains the imagery for both, was just that, imagery.

Gandhi had the mark of God, and that tree was known by it's fruit. Peace, good will, brotherhood. Hitler had the mark of the beast, and that tree was known by it's fruit. War, hate, enmity. Hope this helps.

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

Linus Torvalds is an anagram of SLIT ANUS OR VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.

Richard M. Stallman , spokespervert for the Gaysex is Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of MANS CRAM THRILL AD.

Alan Cox is barely an anagram of ANAL COX which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, [Buy At Amazon] is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for SECONDARY RIM and CORD IN MY ARSE. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for "Felch Male" - a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, "felching" is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into "e-male."

As far as Richard "(cock)Master" Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following:

RMS: "I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance," he says. "It's about being able to question conventional wisdom," he asserts. "I believe in love, but not monogamy," he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about "flaming," who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

"I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as "Slashdot's resident Gasbag." Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux "Sauce Code," a "Gasbag" is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, "piss-pipe"), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the Slack-wear fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of CLAW ARSE, a reference to the homosexual practise of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for DARK AMEN and RAM NAKED, which is what they do.

Another "distro," (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like "Disco," which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of IN A BED, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. "Woody" is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase "Frozen Potato" that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual "Sauce Code," refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the "supermount" tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. "Automount" is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of "mount points." These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say "There is no /opt mount point" because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love 'man', even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out 'man'. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the "FAQ," but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title "Slashdot" originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.goatse.cx/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: "Hemos" is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from "Homos." But even more sickening is "Commander Taco" which sounds a bit like "Commode in Taco," filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement. (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these "Taco Commodes" have special "Salsa Sauce" (blood from a ruptured rectum) and "Cheese" (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, The Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. "Slash - Dot" is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled "stumpers."

FEEDBACK

What worries me is how much you know about what gay people do. I'm scared I actually read this whole thing. I think this post is a good example of the negative effects of Internet usage on people. This person obviously has no social life anymore and had to result to writing something as stupid as this. And actually take the time to do it too. Although... I think it was satire.. blah.. it's early. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux "Sauce code" once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase "Monolithic Kernel"?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.

You must work for the government. Trying to post the most obscene stuff in hopes that slashdot won't be able to continue or something, due to legal woes. If i ever see your ugly face, i'm going to stick my fireplace poker up your ass, after it's nice and hot, to weld shut that nasty gaping hole of yours. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!

you really should post this logged in. i wish i could remember jebus's password, cuz i'd give it to you. - mighty jebus, Slashdot

Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the "Open Sauce" movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.

ROLF LAMO i hate linux FAGGOTS - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.

Actually, that's not at all how scrotal inflation works. I understand it involves injecting sterile saline solution into the scrotum. I've never tried this, but you can read how to do it safely in case you're interested.

(Before you moderate this down, ask yourself honestly - who are the real crazies - people who do scrotal inflation, or people who pay $1000+ for a game console?) - double_h, Slashdot

Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux "sauce code" is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: "Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow." And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!

dude did u used to post on msnbc's nt bulletin board now that u are doing anti-gay posts u also need to start in with anti-black stuff too c u in church - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.

Secondly, this message is for every man. Computers know no colour. Not only that, but one of the finest websites in the world is maintained by A Black Man . Now fuck off you racist donkey felcher.

And don't forget that slashdot was written in Perl, which is just too close to "Pearl Necklace" for comfort.... oh wait; that's something all you heterosexuals do.... I can't help but wonder how much faster the trolls could do First-Posts on this site if it were redone in PHP... I could hand-type dynamic HTML pages faster than Perl can do them. - phee, Slashdot

Although there is nothing unholy about the fine heterosexual act of ejaculating between a woman's breasts, squirting one's load up towards her neck and chin area, it should be noted that Perl (standing for Pansies Entering Rectums Locally) is also close to "Pearl Monocle", "Pearl Nosering", and the ubiquitous "Pearl Enema".

One scary thing about Perl is that it contains hidden homosexual messages. Take the following code: LWP::Simple -- It looks innocuous enough, doesn't it? But look at the line closely: There are two colons next to each other! As Larry "Balls to the" Wall would openly admit in the Perl Documentation, Perl was designed from the ground up to indoctrinate it's programmers into performing unnatural sexual acts -- having two colons so closely together is clearly a reference to the perverse sickening act of "colon kissing," whereby two homosexual queers spread their buttocks wide, pressing their filthy torn sphincters together. They then share small round objects like marbles or golfballs by passing them from one rectum to another using muscle contraction alone. This is also referred to in programming 'circles' as "Parameter Passing".

And PHP stands for Perverted Homosexual Penetration. Didn't you know?

Thank you for your valuable input on this. I am sure you will be never forgotten. BTW: Did I mention that this could be useful in terraforming Mars? Mars rulaa. - Eimernase, Slashdot

Well, I don't know about terraforming Mars, but I DO know that homosexual Linux Advocates have been probing Uranus for years.

That's inspiring. Keep up the good work, AC. May God in his wisdom grant you the strength to bring the plain honest truth to this community, and make it pure again. Yours, Cerberus. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

*sniff* That brings a tear to my eye. Thank you once more for your kind support. I have taken faith in the knowledge that I am doing the Good Lord's work, but it is encouraging to know that I am helping out the common man here.

However, I should be cautious about revealing your name 'Cerberus' on such a filthy den of depravity as Slashdot. It is a well known fact that the 'Kerberos' documentation from Microsoft is a detailed manual describing, in intimate, exacting detail, how to sexually penetrate a variety of unwilling canine animals; be they domesticated, wild, or mythical. Slashdot posters have taken great pleasure in illegally spreading this documentation far and wide, treating it as an "extension" to the Linux "Sauce Code," for the sake of "interoperability." (The slang term they use for non-consensual intercourse - their favourite kind.)

In fact, sick twisted Linux deviants are known to have LAN parties, (Love of Anal Naughtiness, needless to say.), wherein they entice a stray dog, known as the "Samba Mount," into their homes. Up to four of these filth-sodden blasphemers against nature take turns to plunge their erect, throbbing, uncircumcised members, conkers-deep, into the rectum, mouth, and other fleshy orifices of the poor animal. Eventually, the "Samba Mount" collapses due to "overload," and needs to be "rebooted." (i.e., kicked out into the street, and left to fend for itself.) Many Linux users boast about their "uptime" in such situations.

Inspiring stuff! If only all trolls were this quality! - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

If only indeed. You can help our brave cause by moderating this message up as often as possible. I recommend +1, Underrated, as that will protect your precious Karma in Metamoderation. Only then can we break through the glass ceiling of Homosexual Slashdot Culture. Is it any wonder that the new version of Slashcode has been christened "Bender"???

If we can get just one of these postings up to at least '+1,' then it will be archived forever! Others will learn of our struggle, and join with us in our battle for freedom!

It's pathetic you've spent so much time writing this. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I am compelled to document the foulness and carnal depravity that is Linux, in order that we may prepare ourselves for the great holy war that is to follow. It is my solemn duty to peel back the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.

As with any great open-source project, you need someone asking this question, so I'll do it. When the hell is version 2.0 going to be ready?!?! - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I could make an arrogant, childish comment along the lines of "Every time someone asks for 2.0, I won't release it for another 24 hours," but the truth of the matter is that I'm quite nervous of releasing a "number two," as I can guarantee some filthy shit-slurping Linux pervert would want to suck it straight out of my anus before I've even had chance to wipe.

I desperately want to suck your monolithic kernel, you sexy hunk, you. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I sincerely hope you're Natalie Portman.

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it. As it is, I have to much open source software to write to waste even 10 seconds of precious time. 10 seconds is all its gonna take M$ to whoop Linux's ass. Vigilence is the price of Free (as in libre -- from the fine, frou frou French language) Software. Hack on fellow geeks, and remember: Friday is Bouillabaisse day except for heathens who do not believe that Jesus died for their sins. Those godless, oil drench, bearded sexist clowns can pull grits from their pantaloons (another fine, fine French word) and eat that. Anyway, try to keep your message focused and concise. For concision is the soul of derision. Way. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

What the fuck?

I've read your gay conspiracy post version 1.3.0 and I must say I'm impressed. In particular, I appreciate how you have managed to squeeze in a healthy dose of the latent homosexuality you gay-bashing homos tend to be full of. Thank you again. - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Well bugger me!

ooooh honey. how insecure are you!!! wann a little massage from deare bruci. love you - Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Fuck right off!

IMPORTANT: This message needs to be heard (Not HURD, which is an acronym for Huge Unclean Rectal Dilator) across the whole community, so it has been released into the Public Domain. You know, that licence that we all had before those homoerotic crypto-fascists came out with the GPL (Gay Penetration License, according to geekacronyms.org) that is no more than an excuse to see who's got the biggest feces-encrusted cock. I would have put this up on Freshmeat, but that name is KNOWN to be a euphemism for the tight rump of a young boy.

Come to think of it, the whole concept of "Source Control" unnerves me, because it sounds a bit like "Sauce Control," which is a description of the homosexual practice of holding the base of the cock shaft tightly upon the point of ejaculation, thus causing a build up of semenal fluid that is only released upon entry into an incision made into the base of the receiver's scrotum. And "Open Sauce" is the act of ejaculating into another mans face or perhaps a biscuit to be shared later. Obviously, "Closed Sauce" is the only Christian thing to do, as evidenced by the fact that it is what Cathedrals are all about.

ANUX -- A full Linux distribution... Up your ass!

The task goal is to produce a working two-way prototype from each of four teams by the end of 18-months. The languages that will be translated are English and Godless Terrorist.

Incorrect, and unfair. Many of the "Northern Alliance" spoke Pashto and/or Dari (which is a dialect of Farsi). Uzbekistan let us use their military bases during the invasion of Afghanistan. And several of our allies, both real and on paper, speak Arabic.

This is not a "English vs. Godless Terrorist" issue, as you say. The simple fact is there is a dearth of US military personnel that speak these languages, and we have an urgent need, now more than ever, to communicate with people who speak these languages. We do indeed have to spy on our enemies that speak in these tongues, but we also have to accurately share information and intelligence with our allies.

I thought the parent was pretty damn funny and I even speak a couple of those languages, and yes I am the same religion as the Godless terrorist. Have a sense of humor it will make your life much easier.

The task goal is to produce ten working two-way prototypes from each of four teams by the end of 18-months. The languages that will be translated are Farsi, Dari, Arabic, Pashto, Mandarin, and Uzbeki.


DARPA might as well say:

The task goal is to produce a working two-way prototype from each of four teams by the end of 18-months. The languages that will be translated are English and Godless Terrorist.

And the best method for wiping godless yankee
imperialists off the face of the earth.

I can hear the sounds of the national anthem and see a huge flag unfurling behind you while you utter these most patriotic words. Oh JFK, you most American of our sons, what would our country be without you? Of course, thank God for the Cold War and the need to beat them godless Russkies, too.

I also don't understand the notion that cloning is such an awful thing. "Why doesn't the government just get off our backs?"

Take a look a Dolly's health. The real risk isn't that they'll fail, but that they'll succeed. Any cloned baby born with current technology will be terribly ill >>>>
In reality, what this is about is religious fervor: don't let cloning happen because some religious fanatics believe it is "unnatural" and defies God. Just like in-vitro fertilization, sperm donation, and surrogate mothers.

This is the arguement which is used to poison the well by opponents; please desist, as it has nothing to do with anything here--it is no more than a red herring. It would be like a religious fellow calling you a 'godless atheist' or somesuch to 'diminish' your scientific arguements against evolution. It is not relevant to anything, and should not be used.

• One of the defining strategies of the American armed forces since the Gulf War is a near pathelogical reluctance to accept friendly casulties.

Absolutely. Do a google search for UXO (unexploded ordnance) and you'll find that the primary military/government argument against use of cluster munitions and mines is that they cause a few casualties to US soldiers>. The dreadful humanitarian effect (e.g. in Iraq and Kuwait) is mentioned only as an aside.

• witness the British Warriors taken out in the Gulf by American A10s [...] but at least [humans] were there [making the decision]

Witness the opening US shots of the ground conflict, which were from an AH-64 taking out an M-113. The footage from this incident is harrowing: the pilot (suffering from faulty navigation data) radios for confirmation again and again that he is engaging hostile targets, and he is repeatedly told that he is seeing BMP's and should engage. You can hear clearly in his voice that he knows it feels wrong. Ever though his instruments tell him he should fire, and the chain of command confirms it, and he is ordered to fire, he hesitates and questions, in a most human way.

And then he fires anyway. And the hesitation is gone. He whoops in triumph and crows "Nobody's getting out of that one!"

And then the order to "Cease fire! Cease fire!" comes in, and the pilot sounds like he's going to be sick when he realises that he was right, and that these were friendlies.

But the part that struck me the most was simply this: even though every human instinct was telling him not to fire, he fired anyway, because he had to fulfill his part in the military machine.

In other news, the US military is now sponsoring games to breed a new generation of soldiers. That's right kids, war is just a game, with you as the hero. It's not about mud and dust and dysentry and months and years of boredom and mindless toiling, it's a quick romp where you slay godless foreigners, complete with "pause" and "retry". Great PR, lousy message.

well lemming sea. first, take some Godless greed/fear based LIEforms. then, trust them with ALL of "our" money, &/or information. well gee willikers, what the fud. they MuSt be responding to their training.

now that they've been "caught", eye gas IT's safe to "invest" again/more/debt, in the FraUDuleNT fairytail ill eagle Godless greed/fear based billonly "economy", know?

Yes, and as a FAGOT you would like the godless heathens to alow you to ride the Hershey Highway! Well guess what, chode licker? I gave your mother a tube steak dinner with the hot and salty manchowder xurprise for dessert!!!

We dont need any godless Norwegian terroist bastards creating software for us godfearing Americans. "You get what you pay for", didn't your grandpappy ever teach you that? And what about the Trojan Horse? Yeah, they thought they got something for free, but they ended up dead while their wives and kids god sodomized by the idol worshipping greeks. Well, fuck a bunch of that hoinky bulllllshit. Lunix sucks and should be dead like Chadra Levy. Fucking ass-plug wearing hippy commie gay sex loving, abortion supporting (why kill the babies, they are the future) bastards.

I personally know this guy, and I don't have the slightest doubt that all his reports are entirely based on empirical grounds. He's an extraordinary scientist, his interests in physics are plain genuine. He's just curious and smart like hell, and he has no mundane ambitions whatsoever.

The Lucent team is currently working non-stop to redo the key experiments, but given the complexity of the research this will take a while. One can only hope that the damage to their reputation will not be irrevocable by the time they can publish the results of the replication studies. I also hope that the bastard who inititated this slander will get sued badly.

Godless Capitalist has followed up the post you referenced by pointing out that a committee has been formed. This was mentioned earlier, but the Times article seems more informative and names the high profile members of the committee. .

I can't figure out what his motive could be. Like Godless mentioned, he was destined to be found out when engineers attempted to create products. I wonder if he was trying to gain riches or fame, or if (unlikely) he believed so much in the new technology that he wanted to see it attempted even if he had to fudge some results.
