Rob Malda Is Gay!!
sorry...what i really meant to say is
Rob Malda Is Gay!!
I'm sure he uses ATA as well, which is why USENIX is against him. fuckin' homo ATA using cock-gobblers!!
The worst terrorist attack in recorded history is taking place in Afghanistan as we speak, and you people are discussing the fact that the Usenix Board of Directors has emailed all Usenix members, suggesting that they contact their Representatives to oppose ATA and SSSCA????? My *god*, people GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The countless thousands of innocent people that will die at the hands of American murderers could give a good damn about anti-capitalist crusades, your love of Communism, your childish Lego models, your nerf toys and lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D addiction, or any of the other ways you are trying to ignore the murder.
This is off topic I know, but nonetheless I must state that in light of recent events, Billy Joel would kick Metallica and Kid Rock's asses (combined) in a street brawl.
..off topic or not, so I'll let the moderators decide. (If you didn't get Taco's reference, please refrain from moderating.)
Will there ever be a sequel to Serial Experiments Lain? There were some rumors about a year ago, but since then I haven't heard anything. Anyone have any word at all?

Who wants some? Bin Laden is a fucking sand nigger.
mod this up
Praise be to God and we beseech Him for help and forgiveness.
We seek refuge with the Lord of our bad and evildoing. He whom God guides is rightly guided but he whom God leaves to stray, for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the right way.
I witness that there is no God but God and Mohammed is His slave and Prophet.
What the United States tastes today is a very small thing compared to what we have tasted for tens of years
God Almighty hit the United States at its most vulnerable spot. He destroyed its greatest buildings.
Praise be to God.
Here is the United States. It was filled with terror from its north to its south and from its east to its west.
Praise be to God.
What the United States tastes today is a very small thing compared to what we have tasted for tens of years.
Our nation has been tasting this humiliation and contempt for more than 80 years.
Its sons are being killed, its blood is being shed, its holy places are being attacked, and it is not being ruled according to what God has decreed.
Despite this, nobody cares.
When Almighty God rendered successful a convoy of Muslims, the vanguards of Islam, He allowed them to destroy the United States.
But if the sword falls on the United States after 80 years, hypocrisy raises its head lamenting the deaths of these killers who tampered with the blood, honour, and holy places of the Muslims
I ask God Almighty to elevate their status and grant them Paradise. He is the one who is capable to do so.
When these defended their oppressed sons, brothers, and sisters in Palestine and in many Islamic countries, the world at large shouted. The infidels shouted, followed by the hypocrites.
One million Iraqi children have thus far died in Iraq although they did not do anything wrong.
Despite this, we heard no denunciation by anyone in the world or a fatwa by the rulers' ulema [body of Muslim scholars].
Israeli tanks and tracked vehicles also enter to wreak havoc in Palestine, in Jenin, Ramallah, Rafah, Beit Jala, and other Islamic areas and we hear no voices raised or moves made.
But if the sword falls on the United States after 80 years, hypocrisy raises its head lamenting the deaths of these killers who tampered with the blood, honour, and holy places of the Muslims.
The least that one can describe these people is that they are morally depraved.
They champion falsehood, support the butcher against the victim, the oppressor against the innocent child.
May God mete them the punishment they deserve.
I say that the matter is clear and explicit.
In the aftermath of this event and now that senior US officials have spoken, beginning with Bush, the head of the world's infidels, and whoever supports him, every Muslim should rush to defend his religion.
They came out to fight Islam in the name of terrorism
They came out in arrogance with their men and horses and instigated even those countries that belong to Islam against us.
They came out to fight this group of people who declared their faith in God and refused to abandon their religion.
They came out to fight Islam in the name of terrorism.
Hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, were killed in the farthest point on earth in Japan.
[For them] this is not a crime, but rather a debatable issue.
They bombed Iraq and considered that a debatable issue.
But when a dozen people of them were killed in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Afghanistan and Iraq were bombed and all hypocrite ones stood behind the head of the world's infidelity - behind the Hubal [an idol worshipped by pagans before the advent of Islam] of the age - namely, America and its supporters.
These incidents divided the entire world into two regions - one of faith where there is no hypocrisy and another of infidelity, from which we hope God will protect us.
The winds of faith and change have blown to remove falsehood from the [Arabian] peninsula of Prophet Mohammed, may God's prayers be upon him.
As for the United States, I tell it and its people these few words: I swear by Almighty God who raised the heavens without pillars that neither the United States nor he who lives in the United States will enjoy security before we can see it as a reality in Palestine and before all the infidel armies leave the land of Mohammed, may God's peace and blessing be upon him.
God is great and glory to Islam.
May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
I was thinking of investing in a company that makes toenail clippers. Everytime you fly you lose yours, they've got to be making a lot of money right now.
I apologize for for this off-topic post, but it seems that even in posts that even remotely reference anime, a few retards crawl out of their holes and spew forth unintelligent stupidity. If you're not interested in the yelling at of idiots, the read no further.
The reality is, that a good number of very mature and professional people enjoy a good number of anime titles. I believe the people you speak of are the ones that like anime just because it is animated and from japan and for no oher reason. But, then again, these people are simply collectors like anyone else that collects anything. Stamps, cars, model trains, anime... it's all the same. There are, on the other hand, people (myself included) that enjoy the content of a small group of anime titles. I can think of no less than 5 of the best anime titles that are all about things like cyberspace, privacy rights, and other topics which are discussed daily here on the slashing dot (the one referenced in this post, Serial Experiments: Lain, is all about real/wired world convergeance). Maybe you two should take a look at what's being referenced before spewing uninformed stupidity all over the forums. I assure you, that even if you don't like it, you'll have some grasp about why, and be able to post intelligently about it (this means not making insulting statements about general groups of people with a certain like/dislike).

y0 egg TRoLL. how goes it man? you fuckin own this shit site
rice_burners_suck? What, you don't think it's cool to be a faggot and have a Honda with a bunch of shit on it that just makes you want to beat the fuck out of it with a baseball bat?
Yeah, well I have an ATA CD-RW drive on Linux and cdrecord doens't support ATAPI devices. The problem with SCSI is that it is expensive...
;)
Also, according to the Software RAID Howto, ATA hardware is fairly unsuitable for RAID. Problem is, no one has told Congress that ATA makes for bad RAIDs...

capitalist money grabbing bastards..
Hey, if you don't like it, go back to commieland!
I dream of the day that taco add's a spellcheck button to slashdot.
That would just ruile! -intentionally typoed for humor.
"Seatbelts are the perfect example. The legislators decided they wanted people to wear them (to benefit the individual of course) but they forgot that I am not hurting anyone else if I die in a fucking accident b/c I wasn't wearing mine. Who the fuck are they to tell me that I have to wear a restraint when driving my car?"
Wrong! Bad analogy. If you weren't wearing your seatbelt you could hit someone else as you are hurled through the air. It is very common for unrestrained rear seat passengers to kill front seat occupants as they are thrown forwards, smashing their skulls or tearing their heads off.
You could be rattled about the inside of your car squashing everyone else. You could be hurled through the windscreen and hit someone outside or even someone in the other car (if one is involved).
What a damned petty and stupid thing to get worked up about.
I'm out of my tree just now but please feel free to leave a banana.
It's time to start pronouncing ATA as a word instead of spelling it out. It's pronounced "Atta" just like in the name "Mohamed Atta." When you say it like that, you're not really saying anything, it's just a subconcious implication. Work on their psyche. Why not?
Why don't you go and flip some more burgers, open source geeks?
Go flip me a burger geek!
worthless, so you'll have to get a human to do that
bullshit. computer grammar checking would have found his error WRT en masse an error that you didn't find... though, perhaps you are a computer grammar checker and that was your point.
McCarthy may have done some fucked-up stuff, but in so doing he hurt the anti-Communist movement more than the Communists.
William F. Buckley issued a challenge years ago WRT the Hollywood blacklists: try and find a single "injured" person who was not a socialist... nobody has ever answered the challenge because there are none. So for all the cries of "witchhunt", the Red Scare was accurately targetted. You may think that Communists should not be persecuted, OK, but I think they should, and the Red Scare didn't persecute anyone who was not.
Many of tactics of the worst sorts of zealots like McCarthy were theoretically dangerous and were rightfully rebuked, but they never led to any actual loss of liberty except for those who were sympathetic to the Soviet Union and wanted the same Orwellian freedoms for the rest of us.
Today, the way the word "McCarthyist" gets used is itself an example of McCarthyism: smearing someone by applying a negative label. Every time I hear someone use the term, I say back, "I have in my hand a list of known McCarthyists!"
Of course, most are too uneducated to get the reference, let alone the irony.
Shame on everyone who modded up this poorly written piece of alarmist bullshit.
