I must have run over fifty of these munchkin bastards on my riding mower without breaking a sweat. The little cannibal turd goblins did manage to clog my grass bagger though.
CARIBBEAN: The Caribbean is right next to the US but on the other hand it is full of cannibals. Your doughy flabmountain of a carcass would feed a family of cannibals for approximately 8 years, so you would be at least partially redeeming your obnoxious waste of a life in the process.
MEXICO: Mexico is somewhere south of the US, near Antartica. It's basically the same as Texas only even worse of a shithole, if you can believe that. Also it's full of Mexicans, they eat donkeys and shit in your broom cupboard if you let them. If you go to Mexico you will get shot by bandits and rendered down into cattle feed so it's a win-win situation.
BRAZIL AND NAZILAND: This is somewhere near Africa or maybe in the Yellow Sea. Brazil is where the Nazis launched their rocket bombs to attack the US in the war with the help of the Aztecs. If you travel here you can also visit Argentina which is where ninjas come from. It's hot there and the jungles have spiders that are like 80 feet high, the guy Len Hardy used to work for when he was an accountant audited a Brazil oil company once and he saw one of their spiders eat a tank.
ENGLAND AND EUROPE: In Europe it is against the law to wash more than twice a century. Everything in Europe is really old because they ran out of money about 500 years ago. If you go to Europe you will be stoned to death or bitten by a vampire. It's also really close to the Soviet Commies so you have to watch out for stormtroopers blowing shit up all the time. The national dish of Europe is recycled cardboard. Scotland is an island in England and so is Australia. Scotland is where the vikings came from and I don't know shit about Australia except they have really big fucking alligators. They were on some wildlife show last week and they showed two alligators fucking, I mean what the fuck is up with that.
ASIA: The US used to own Asia until Pol Pot and his jap buddies started fucking with shit in Vietnam. Then we dropped a whole fuckload of napalm on his commie ass and since then none of those bastards have tried to mess with the US of A. I was in Korea and I saved a village from an infiltration squad of Vietcong disguised as medical orderlies by throwing a grenade into their truck.
CANADA: Canada exports moose fur and cold air. There are so many trees in Canada that you can walk from one border to the other across the branches. Hopefully though you'd fall off and break your malformed skull. Canada is also home to the moose which hunts woodcutters and has bulletproof skin. Only a giant polar bear can beat a moose. There are only about 14 people in Canada and they all live in igloos anyway.

if common sense was common, wouldn't everyone have it?
in fact its so fast Carl Sagan would have repeat Billions and Billions a Billion Billion Billlion ^X times just to describe its awsome speed.
RIP Carl Sagan, Man of the Century and debunked comic philosopher
didnt windows 95 come out 6 years ago today?
I still have my 386SX and the 0.99.?? boot floppy that I used to boot it with on what used to be a 200MB hard drive (100MB dedicated to Linux). No ethernet back then, though, so it was only using a modem. I'll have to try that boot floppy on one of these P4s around here.

I think thats what I'll name the book I'm writing. Its about two young lovers. The female heroine of the story is Natlie Portman. She is a beautiful geek goddess with vivacious nipples that would cause erotic pleasure in madagascar orangutans. The story revolves and Natalie and I, the lonely geek that lives his life in a creepy basement apartment, littered with mountain dew cans and snickers wrappers. Natalie is disgusted with the pimply faced geek. His smell is obnoxious and his bad breath could knock out a division of pakistani soldiers.
....
But Natlie falls in love with this horrid character...
Tell you the rest later
...and Slashdot ACTS it! :-D
And as usual, I submit a great story and Slashdot editors reject it with yet *another* story about AtheOS and 'Making Your Own DSL'.
So, in *incredibly more important* news read this post and go visit http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/08/23/new.linu
(IDG) -- In a move aimed at making Linux more attractive to corporate computer users, Hewlett-Packard Co. Wednesday announced its own version of Linux that incorporates high-security features needed by business users.
The new HP Secure OS Software for Linux will offer security features that have been long desired but not built into the operating system, according to Mike Balma, director of operations for Linux systems at HP.
The package, which will be released on Monday, will sell for $3,000 per system and is based on the Linux 2.4 kernel and Red Hat Linux 7.1. The operating system also includes the Apache Web server, the Amanda backup utility, configuration and security auditing tools, and installation and integration support.
The operating system is targeted at Internet service providers, telecommunications companies and e-businesses that want a more secure operating system that still offers the flexibility of open-source software, according to HP.
One of the major criticisms of Linux in the past has been that it doesn't offer the higher security needed by business computing environments.
"Commercial users do require security and that's where HP is filling in the gap," Balma said.
The new software will provide enterprise-level Linux security while balancing performance, ease of use, management and application support, according to HP. The operating system is designed to isolate users and applications into "compartments" that remain separated, making them more secure. The system automatically audits system activities and provides file system protection and containment, should a breach occur.
In related Linux announcements, HP also unveiled the creation of an embedded Linux-based operating system called Chai-LX and the availability of an open source Web-based developers portal.
My slashdot story was rejected.

"The new variant, which has initially been dubbed CodeRed.d, is nearly identical to its predecessor except for two minor pieces of code, according to Roger Thompson, head of malicious code research at TruSecure Corp.
The new worm has replaced a fragment of code known as an "atom" that was unique to the earlier version, the string "CodeRedII," with a series of underscore characters. In addition, the byte at offset 07C5 is changed from a 0 to an FF, according to Thompson, who announced the discovery today on a number of security mailing lists.
The minor tweaks in CodeRed.d appear to be a deliberate attempt to evade poorly designed intrusion detection systems or anti-virus software that is merely looking for the "CodeRedII" string, according to Thompson. "

I really and truly do. Thanks for waisting the five seconds of my life it took to read that, and the 10 seconds on my life it took to write this.
