Bruce Sterling on Geeks and Spooks
apsmith writes: "Bruce Sterling's
latest Viridian piece is a written version of a talk on why we're in such a mess with crypto, why the computer industry is going nowhere for the next few years, and what Lawrence Lessig, the NSA, Echelon, Oliver North and Abdullah Catli have in common. Thought-provoking stuff, even if you might not agree with quite everything ("Why don't you geeks just sit down with your cheap, crappy plastic boxes, and shut up? Here in the TV biz, our boxes look nicer anyway!")." This is a lunch-time talk, and it's meant to be entertaining, and it is. :)
STFU Katz!
Oh, wait, we like Bruce, don't we?
that is some of the fastest moderation i've ever seen. the jew loving moderaters are awefully quick tonight.
a little something for you to think about... why is it that on slashdot you can criticise microsoft (run by whites and christians) but when you say anything bad about linux (developed by jews and homosexualists) your words are immediately censored? and isn't "Malda" a jewish name?
it all adds up the more you think about it

Because Chirstmas is on the horizon, I thought I would share to you a tale of what happened to me last Christmas. This is so you, the reader may be able to avoid the terror I have been through this upcoming holiday season.
Last Christmas, while visiting family, I spent a few nights in a Best Western hotel. It was comfortable yet affordable and I really enjoyed and appreciated their friendly knowledgeable staff. Why didn't I stay with my family in their house you ask? Well, there were children present and as children often do are a nuisance and I assumed would inturrupt my morning and nightly rituals. On my first night at the Best Western, I proceded to...oh, I think a song would better illustrate this...
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
Oh, sorry, wrong song...
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Yeah... uh, thats right.
As I drifted off to sleep, I was startled by noises. It seems the residents in the next room were making a downright lot amount of noise. I was about to bang on the wall again but was curious at what was being discused so I pressed my ear up against the wall and listened. Here are the words that have been forever burnt into my previously virgin mind:
CmdrTaco:
Nowadays everybody wanna talk
But nothing comes out
When they move the lips
Its just a bunch of jibberish
And motherfuckers act like CmdrTaco aint' gay
Everybody forgot

Linus Torvalds: Yeah
CmdrTaco:
It's all about Linus
It's all about Linus
Linus Torvalds: Linus is in the house
CmdrTaco: Yeah, thats right Linus is in the house
Linus Torvalds: Come here pull down your panites you little bitch
CmdrTaco: Aiight, hold up dawg go easy on me and shit you ripped my asshole last time
Linus Torvalds: Come get some of this Monolithic Kernel
CmdrTaco: Let me take off this white shirt so you can see my bird chest
Linus Torvalds: You wanna be famous?
CmdrTaco: Uh huh
Linus Torvalds: Spread that bitch ass
CmdrTaco: It's all about Linus
Linus Torvalds: Yeah, Linus
CmdrTaco: Uh, dawg, your hurting me dawg
Linus Torvalds: Your the loosest Slashdot editor you little bitch
CmdrTaco: Your ripping my asshole dawg, hold on a sec, wait don't bust
Linus Torvalds: Yeah
CmdrTaco: Hold on a sec, don't bust
Linus Torvalds: Come here
CmdrTaco: Wait, uh wait, uh, hold on don't bust
Linus Torvalds: Take all of this Monolithic Kernel
CmdrTaco: Hold on don't bust, do it on my lip like a milk ad
Linus Torvalds: Linus is in that ass
CmdrTaco:

It's all about Linus, ahh ahh
Linus Torvalds: You wanna be famous you little bitch
CmdrTaco: Man don't tell CowboyNeal dawg please, it's all about Linus Torvalds
Linus Torvalds: Aiight, now get the fuck out of here
CmdrTaco: Aww shit
I constantly wonder why God has allowed me to hear this horror. Maybe it is because I am the chosen one and the Time of Purification is at hand. Or maybe God has simply punished me for my lifetime of sins. Or perhaps the devil was involved in this brillant scheme. You may ask me why I have shared such an awful tale. It because I feed off the horror others experience from my story and it gives me the strength to continue living. Now that I haved shared this with you, you are going straight to hell with me, that is if you don't murder yourself in a bloody orgy of hatred for me and these two homosexuals who are the star of my timeless tale.
