Antarctic Ozone Hole Leveling Off
twistedfuck writes: "An Irish Time article reports that the size of the hole in the antartican ozone layer is levelling off and should begin reducing in size. It seems like it should be welcome news but it is tempered by the fact that more UV radiation will reach the southern hemisphere this year because the hole will persist longer. Unfortunately I can not find any details regarding the NOAA report on their website." Update: 11/06 17:31 GMT by H :Thanks to Isaac Lewis, NOAA Sysadmin and Slashdot reader, for pointing out more information, as well as pointing out the ozonelayer site.
and there is a story about HOLES...???
"An Slashdot article reports that the size of the hole in the goatse.cx guy is levelling off and should begin reducing in size. It seems like it should be welcome news but it is tempered by the fact that more cocks will reach the southern rectum this year because the hole will persist longer. Unfortunately I can not find any details regarding the goatse.cx report on their website."

What kind of aftershave do you prefer?Alan Cox <Alan.Cox@linux.org> responds...
"Technically, I don't use aftershave. I have quite a healthy beaver growing off of my face."
"However, me and the boys-- the young Open Source fans I like to take to the pub for a few pints and then back to my flat after they're dead-drunk-- like to eat each others' feces. I suppose you could then call the diarhea that gets caught up in my beard as aftershave, since I love its scent so well and leave it on all day."
Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) <malda@slashdot.org> responds...
"I usually prefer Hemos's semen. There's nothing like rubbing it all over my face, especially when it's nice and warm and fresh. Besides, what man can't resist that cum-odor? If I am lucky enough to be wearing Hemo's gunk, I notice I get hit on a lot mre at the bars I go to. What other afershave can make me a homosexual cock-lust faggot magnet?"
"Yeah, I definitely prefer Hemos's semen..."
ESR <esr@thyrsus.com> responds...
"I used to religiously wear a product called, ironically enough, 'Money.' I haven't been able to find any in a long while, even at VA Linux's bathouses. Who knows where it went?"
"Now I just count the Jägermeister I dribble on myself in drunken stupors as aftershave and leave it at that..."
evil_spork <evil_spork@hotmail.com> responds...
"After my usual nightly routine of smoking crack from a Tab can, snorting heroin off a dumpstered toilet seat, and being fucked by my dealer Rocco until i throw up cum, I usually bury my face in my pillow and cry for my mommy until the sun comes up."
"Then, before I go to work, Rocco rapes me in the mouth at gunpoint to see me off. I have a goatee, so it absorbs the scent of blood, jism, stomach acids, crack cocaine, Bounce dryer sheets, and man-musk. I work in a mailroom with a bunch of wetbacks so no one notices."
RMS <rms@stallman.org> responds...
"Ah, I wonder if you're mistaken... You see, I haven't shaved since the founding of the Free Software Foundation in 1984. I have no use for aftershave-- in fact, it looks like there's a God-damned baby goat surgically attached to my face. Some liken my beard to a giant vulva as well: hairy, with a stinking hole in the center."
"I have no use for aftershave..."
Steven Katros responds...
"I like cinnamon perfume, don't you?
"It's a special little scent that reminds me of cooking for friends, enjoying warm cidar and a good book on a cold Autumn day, and hot sex with cinnamon anus lube!"

A few hours ago, I learned that I am now (at least in theory) absurdly gay.
I was at my machine, my 386 with 4 megs of RAM running Linux, masturbating to pictures of RMS, when I got an email congratulating me on the success of Slashdot. I was working on my latest small project-- a clever little text parser that takes input from the user and puts it in a little cartoon-style word balloon coming out of-- get this!-- a giant, erect ASCII penis's bulging head! Hahaha! It's called COCKSAY. You can download it here.
"Congratulations? That's interesting," said I to myself. "I didn't think Slashdot was coming out until tomorrow." And I oughtta know; I'm on VA's Board of Directors, recruited by Larry Augustin himself, to be VA Linux's "corporate conscience," and it's public record that I hold a substantial share in the company's semen pool. I tooled on over to Linux Today, chased a link like it was a naked hippy's ass-- and discovered that Rob Malda had taken the fast action we had discussed at the last board meeting. Slashdot had come out first thing that morning with a headline on its own site-- and I had become the figurehead of the Gay Faggot Slashdot Empire while I wasn't looking.
Well, that didn't last long. In the next two hours, 369 VA employees also disclosed that they had AIDS, leaving me with a bit of the proverbial semen on my face.
You may wonder why I am talking about this in public. The first piece of advice your friends will give you, if it looks like you're about to come out of the closet, is: keep quiet! It's really nobody else's business-- you don't want to look like you're lusting for cock, though you may want to be deluged by an endless succession of men dressed up as Navy sailors demanding blowjobs from you; fat, hairy men (the bears) wanting to fuck you in the ass; and sweet, young, hairless boys offering you the beauty of their youth.
Trouble with the "keep it quiet" theory is that I've always solicited gay male faggot sex in a very public way. When you're already a media figure, like myself, and your name is on the Faggot Manifesto your whole organization chose to use to come out, and email from friends and journalists starts coming in like crazy as the gayness of your empire breaks records even on the first day, playing it coy swiftly ceases to look like a viable option.
But it wouldn't be fair to dissemble. I serve the gay community. I'm wealthy today because my efforts to spread faggotry and venereal diseases on behalf of that community helped infiltrate the business world and earned the trust of a lot of young, naive boys. Fairness to the twinks

*sigh*
The increase of UV radition getting to the earth due to the depletion of ozone is smaller than the error factor of the best detection instraments.
And, even if it weren't, even changes as high as 20% aren't abnormal in nature. Otherwise, there wouldn't be life in Florida...
I like you, Stuart. You're not like everyone else, here, at Slashdot.
Check cancer rates between Pennsylvania, USA and Sydney, Australia. I know this is far from a bulletproof arguement, for maybe Aussies are naturally more prone to skin cancer, or spend more time outdoors (which they do)
Or maybe the Aussies and the NZers killed/displaced the reasonably dark skinned people who were properly adapted for living there, replacing them with light-skinned northern europeans...
Why the lobbying for reduced CO2 emmissions?
My guess six months ago is that patent
mongering European interests have developed
the fuel cell and want to have a way to sell it.
Currently fuel cells cost more than just burning
hydrocarbons directly. Fuel Cell technology
does not outgas C02, yes. But it has other issues.
Bottom line in my conspiratorial mind is that
Europeans want to sell their new technology and
use the Ozone issue as a red herring to force
America to use this junk.
Put the patents in the public domain and
then we'll use it if it makes sense.
Don't force your bad technology on us
based upon flawed research.
Or maybe the Europeans really do believe that
Global warming will flood everything.
Are they buying up realestate on mountaintops?
I DON'T THINK SO.
Gonna run my generator all night. . .
And shine my light bright.
