Re:13th POST!!

Agreed. Zeppelin kicks all ass and makes Bill Gates seem extremely insignificant in the scheme of things.

Looking better every day...

... Mac OS X and OmniWeb, that is. OW 4.1 will be out in about a week with gobs of speed and bug fixes.

Slashdot hacked?

[woodja]

Slashdot was not available for almost an hour this afternoon. The last posted story was about a switch to Banjo around 6:30pm tonight. Anybody know what that was all about?

Micro who??

[josepha48]

Who's Microsoft? What is I.E.?? I'm from the future, I heard about some company that had buggy software but then they passed that act of 2025 that required all software to be goverment approved and now the only OS left is MS Gov OS.

LOL

Uder??

I like the fix to the keyboard logger

[WillSeattle]

Well, just tried the patch and now the hidden keyboard logger activates just fine with a remote key.

Glad to see they got it working, wonder if it was the DOJ techs or the MSFT techs who fixed that baby?

What morons modded this down?

This is why I always append ";)" to my funny posts. Sure, it actually makes it less funny because it destroys that moment where you say, "Huh?" and then realize it's a joke and laugh, and because it always makes a joke less funny when the teller is laughing at his own joke, but if you don't do that, the idiot moderators don't realize it's a joke and then nobody gets to see it

This is what always puzzled me. So-called conservatives say they want the Gov't out of your life, but then they try and implement the most invasive laws and constitutional amendments. They want to regulate what I put in my body, what I can do with my body (if I were female, that is), who I can and cannot marry, what materials/pictures/movies/etc. I can view and/or posses and I am sure more than a few would like to tell me which god to worship. I guess you can have all the freedom you want as long as it is economic and any amendment from the Bill of Rights that you want as long as it is the 2nd one.
Just today little Bushy was spewing more propaganda about how we need to pursue the War on Drugs which is really a euphemism for the War on our Civil Liberties. Just what the uS needs is more irrationalism...It is so depressing.

OT:Oh, come ON.

[linzeal]

I'm pretty far from the right wing and don't believe in legislating anything but I'd like to clear some disinformation up. "what I can do with my body (if I were female, that is)". Since when does a woman have 4 arms, 4 legs, 2 hearts, and 2 brains? Ding, Ding, Ding wrong she never does. Just because some people think they are above being responsible for pregnancy (short of rape) in this day and age of ubiqitious contraception of which I am wholeheartedly for does not mean they are justified in their beliefs. People should not have sex until they are ready to face up to the consequences of raising a child, getting an STD, etc. Sheesh, but at least I agree with most if not the rest of your tirade.

>Since when does a woman have 4 arms, 4 legs, 2 hearts, and 2 brains?

A zygote has none of these. I do agree with you that late term abortions should be very rare as I think it is absoutely the worst form of birth control. Perhaps abortion would be even more rare if we had real sex education classes like they do in some more enlightened European countries. Their abortion rates/teen pregnancy rates are far lower than ours.

Problem is, many of the same people that want to outlaw abortions also try to keep sex education out of our schools. Can't win with these people.

Re:OT:Oh, come ON.

[linzeal]

Oh I don't want to outlaw abortions. I mean murder is outlawed but it still happens because it is a social issue. Sex education is the most important things to change individuals but how do you change society? Social revolution?
