Web No Longer Eclectic?
khog writes: "The Sunday New York Times had a front-page article entitled, "Exploration of World Wide Web Tilts From Eclectic to Mundane." The article says that "[t]he Web was supposed to subvert corporate domination of culture by giving a global soapbox -- or printing press, or television station -- to anyone with a computer and a modem" and takes off from there. Was the Web ever "supposed to be" anything, much less a subversion of "corporate domination of culture?" Isn't the reduction of idle surfing and the increase of a "more direct, predetermined approach to the Web" just a "reflection" of an educated user base that knows what it wants?"
1st?

The web started going downhill when every site stopped having pictures of Alyson Hannigan.
Does anyone have hot grits?
Mod this guy down. He owns stock in XML-RPC based companies and is trying to make a cheap buck buying plugging this technology on Slashdot!
So many -1's.. But the truth is well worth it!

If I knew the words to the song, I'd put them here. But posting a swastika is just stupid. Why do all you retards bother posting all this racist drivel? Do any of you even know any Jewish, black or gay people, or do you just think it's funny to say "nigger" or "faggot"? You probably think it's funny to say "penis" too, you pathetic 13-year-old children. I love crapflooding as much as the next guy, but at least be mature in your crapflooding. End rant.

dumbass, there are already several BAZILLION posts regarding mirrors and the slashdot66 account. READ THE FUCKING POSTS YOU RETARD
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine?
Did we really count to one hundred?
Cold summer glistening
Hot color melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine?
Did we really count to one hundred?
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies?
Letting in the sunshine?
Did we really count to one hundred?
Letting in the sunshine!

Judging by the number of Trolls, Morons and idiots on here i am assuming IRC has closed down and they have nothing better to do ?
Maybe its time we started looking at that banning and post deleting thing again ?
