Slashback: Equivalence, Toilets, Hundredth
Screenshots to show the boss. Jim Hall writes: "The other day, I downloaded OpenOffice build 628C for Linux and for Windows. I use Red Hat Linux (7.1) at home, and I already use StarOffice (5.2) for my regular office needs. It works great. I think my main complaint with OpenOffice is the silly desktop. Other than that, I consider it a fully functional office suite that can replace my MS Office needs anytime.
I didn't see any cool OpenOffice screenshots, so I made my own of the text document program. I didn't do any (yet?) of the spreadsheet program, or presentation software. These were really captured for the benefit of my brother, but I'm posting them here so that others can see them."
When I was a boy, we didn't have "archives" ... jbrw writes "Occasionally complaints will pop up that the archives at groups.google.com aren't complete enough. Well, here's your chance to help. Google is conducting an archive hunt to find some CDs from the "NetNews CD Series" pre-dating 1995, to help fill out their archive. I'm sure there's a whole heap of useful information hidden away in there, so it would be nice if it was available for all. Google says they will pay a spotter's fee for any of the CDs they don't have yet. I imagine the /. crowd would be more impressed with some sort of custom t-shirt, but there you go..."
We've mentioned this before, but it looks like they're still looking, or at least haven't updated the page.
Pinch your salt well, folks. Sir_Real writes "The RIAA wants to re-establish the CPRM standard. It is also lobbying lawmakers to make the ISP responsible for content shared by the people they provide for. Sound Cards are being targetted also. If Ms. Rosen has her way, "Watermarked" content will not be rippable because of hardware protection implemented in the new cards. The Register has the full story."
My advice would be to take this one more as a thought experiment than anything else, though it would be interesting if some sort of substantiation emerges.
The site named after a game show noise hits a milestone. Zanthrax writes: "ZZZ Online just got their 100th edition out ! You should go see this site if you allready haven't. Lots of cool stuff on the site gets submitted to /. , Like their ornithopter story which was on a lot sooner than here on /."
Just good, clean, vicarious bathroom fun. random-nerds writes: "Following a suggestion from a Slashdot reader, we built and installed a display in our bathroom so all you crazy Int0rnet junkies can send us messages while we're in our bathroom. Now the MIT Bathroom Server is fun for the whole family. Check it out at http://neurosis.mit.edu/foo/"
There's something wrong there.

Metallica - Don't Tread On Me
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
don't tread on me
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
don't tread on me
love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
shining with brightness, always on surveillance
the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
don't tread on me
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

these people would be tops on my list:
"Present, we are told by sources close to the RIAA, were Intel's Andy Grove; IBM's Lou Gerstner; Disney's Michael Eisner; Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Ass. of America; International Federation of the Phonographic Industry chief Jay Berman; Vivendi Universal's Edgar Bronfman; AOL Time-Warner's Gerald Levin; EMI's Ken Berry; Sony's Steve Heckler; and from Bertelsmann, Strauss Zelnick.
Also present were the CEOs of Matsushita and Toshiba, and senators Fritz Hollings and Ted Stevens. "
Not to mention the people making up the MPAA and a few other evil companies such as Pacific Lumber and the assholes who bring you "Digital Angel".
BUT I AM NOT A TERRORIST (IANAT):-) So no one has to worry. OK. You got that FBI dudes reading slashdot. I will never ever kill anyone because my mom would be really upset with me.
but I gotta say, What a horrible world we live in. It's no wonder Bin Laden and Co. want to kill us all. If I didn't live here and know people in America I'd want to Nuke the whole god damned greedy capitalistic country too.
Sooner or later someone will go too far, and they'll be another revolutionary war. Only this will be many people rising against many corporate-run-governments...Lord help us all.
BTW - not only does war in afganistan make boeing, ratheon, et al rich with literally billions of dollars of new orders in september alone, but there is estimated 50 years worth of oil in afghanistan that Bush and his son want to get thier hands on. Sometimes I think some of what those psychos say is right, although their methods are clearly WRONG.
Killing innocent americans is a stupid way to get your point across. He should have killed the not so innocent americans.
If I had the 50 million dollars bush gave the taliban in may to declare opium against god, I would ask them to delcare the RIAA against god.

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Why else did 4000 Jews die at work on 9/11?
Because of assholes like you crashing planes into their office.

My penis goes off at an angle! My vaginal lips look strange. Is this from masturbating?
No. Like ears, like noses, like feet, like all nonsexual body parts, the sex organs are subject to a wide range of variations that are perfectly normal.
Any kind of sexual activity is likely to induce certain changes in the sexual parts, mostly swelling and color changes. These are entirely normal and temporary changes that accompany sexual arousal. The organs will return to their usual appearance shortly after sexual activity stops. It is entirely normal for the testicles to increase in size and to draw close to the body during extreme sexual arousal. It is entirely normal for the nipples to increase in sensitivity and to erect during sexual arousal--and just as normal for this to happen in males as it is normal when it happens in females. Flushing of the skin (reddening)--most noticeable in fair-skinned people, but present in others--is entirely normal in extreme sexual arousal, and virtually any part of the body may be affected (temporarily) although the face, shoulders, chest, and thighs are most commonly affected. It is entirely normal for the sexual organs to lubricate themselves during sexually arousal. In males this lubrication is called preseminal fluid ("precum").
Some people noticed these changes more during masturbation because during masturbation they can observe themselves more closely than they do when they have sex with a partner. It should also be noted, that these effects are highly variable. Not all males produce noticeable amounts of precum, while others produce large amounts whenever they are even slightly aroused, and in yet others the amount will depend upon the degree of sexual arousal and the duration of the sexual activity.
In some cultures foreskins and vaginal lips are deliberately stretched, day after day, in a process that eventually changes their size and shape--just as some cultures encourage deliberate changes in the shapes of lips, earlobes, feet, or other body parts. Ordinary masturbation will not induce these changes.
In particular, masturbation will not affect:
a) curves in the penis.
Many penises have some greater or lesser degree of curve in them when they are erect, and particularly in younger men, the erect penis tends to point upwards (toward the belly) rather than outward. A few penises have sharp angles when erect. The differences are not caused by masturbation, and masturbation cannot change the shape of the penis. Very serious abnormalities in shape can sometimes be corrected by surgery, but masturbation has nothing to do with it.
b) size of the labia or clitoris.
Some are small, some are large. Masturbation can neither cause these differences nor alter them. And the same goes for the clitoris. Some are large, some are small. Almost all of them will become colored and enlarged with blood during sexual arousal but will return to normal after sexual activity is over.
c) color of the skin of the sexual areas.
Very commonly the color of the skin of the sex organs differs from the color of skin of the rest of the body. In light-skinned people, the sex organs often are darker than the rest of the body, while the opposite is often true of dark-skinned people. This really should not be surprising because the skin of these areas IS different from the skin of the rest of the body. If it was not different, people would have as much fun playing with their elbows as they do playing with their sexual parts.
Masturbation does not cause the difference. Some, especially circumcised, males will notice great differences in color from one part of the penis to the other. This is especially noticeable on either side of the circumcision scar. Masturbation is not the cause of the color difference. It is just a coincidence that this color change is noticeable where a male is likely to place his hand when he masturbates.
d) position and size differences of the testicles (or the relative size of the breasts or nipples, etc.).
It is normal for one testicle to be slightly larger than the other and for one to hang slightly lower than the other (if not for this latter, males would be constant racking themselves when they walked--i.e. the testes would be banging against one another painfully). Most people are not perfectly symmetrical in all their body parts--one foot is slightly larger than the other, one breast is slightly larger than the other, one hand is slightly larger that the other. These differences are perfectly normal and are not caused by masturbation.
Also masturbation will not make one hand or arm bigger than the other--unless you usually masturbate with a dumbbell. There is just not enough resistance involved for this activity to have a training effect on the arm and hand used. Right-handed people will still have slightly larger slightly better developed right hands and right arms, and it won't matter which hand they use to masturbate.
