Speaking of Stuff, Dave Gould writes: "I have published my picks for the 2001 Stuff of the Year. Here's hoping for lots of neat new stuff in 2002!" I bet high that stuff continues to arrive. Maybe even more IT.
Weedstock writes: "EE Times has a list of 15 interesting articles about technologies to watch in 2002. One of those articles, Software model needs overhaul, explains the current problems with computer processing and describes new technologies (Such as the Reconfigurable Architecture Workstation processor from MIT) that will affect this domain in the next year."
uninet writes: "'Looking back over the past year, I think most people would have to agree it has been a ground breaking time for open source. While it is true that open source companies suffered just like the rest of the tech sector from poor economic conditions, those same conditions have also made open source appear even more attractive.'" Here's the rest of Open For Business' analysis of the year past and coming.
There are plenty more year-end wrap-ups filled with bulleted lists and instant nostalgia, but few can top Llewyn, who writes: "The couple who met on Slashdot two years ago are celebrating their first wedding anniversary! you can email them at scott@asofyet.org and elysse@asofyet.org or visit their reminiscing website." Congratulations!
For those into New Year's festivities of the more athletic (and semi-athletic) variety, burntfungus writes with words on "Security and open 802.11b WLAN Access Points along the Rose Parade route, Pasadena's yearly event that allow anyone to be a street person for two nights a year! If you get cold there are many places to get a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Watch floats (on webcam, blimps and low flying stealth bombers! Find a public WLAN access point or two."
At least partly wrapping up one of this year's oddest stories, several readers have submitted a link to a CNN story which says that Dmitry Sklyarov has returned home to Russia, and has already raised a toast with his wife and children. I hope Dmitry's treated a little differently on his next visit to the U.S. suwain_2 adds a link to this Newsforge story as well.

Maybe someone in your time zone will use a proxy in North America and get the second first post of 2002 ;-)
When writing roman numerals it is incorrect to skip one of the bases (or whatever they're called; the name slips my mind for some reason; "sections" of numbers like 10, 100, 1000). Since MMII skips the 100s column it is wrong to write it like that. You lose, sucker.

heres another hint, nobody who reads tarot cards looks good in a bathing suit.
Excuse me? but she is a helluva lot prettier than anytinhg you can attract.

Posting as an AC to not sound like a perv... Cus I'm tooo old to have anytihng that fine anymore.
Here is the thread of their encounter on the well-known matchmaking site Slashdot.org :
Elysse : fIrST Pr0st !
Scott : What is taco-snotting? its when kids like SuckMyAssRaw43 give a "hetero-sexually challenged" boyfriend head, then take the cum load and blow it into his noze. ...
Elysse : Please mod this -1: Offtopic

Since your comment is modded as "Score:-1, Troll" with moderation totals of "Troll=1, Total=1", I am willing to wager that your comment is indeed a troll. I am too lazy to confirm your first posting standings if you have any. Sorry, but I am a "qualified lazy jack ass."
Thank you! This troll couldn't be possible without the help of The Goatse Man and The Giver's Huge Throbbing Penis.
Did you create that homepage? It is very nice. While watching "The Birdcage" movie on TNN, I believe I caught a glimpse of CmdrTaco as one of the homosexual extras.
Which once again proves that mainstream Linux people (k1dd13z) can't spell worth a damn.
And as soon as I can figure out how to change the OS on the audiotron and retain all functions (I.E. rewrite the entire app suite) that will eliminate Microsoft from my home. My car is next... That autopc will get linux on it or it will get sold on ebay... either way... microsoft is banned in this house from now on.
Man are you fscking paranoid or someting? Did Bill Gates break into your house and rape you with a wire coat hanger? I mean, it's an AutoPC, for Pete's sakes!
Stop the hate, mang.
hmm, them thighs've got a bit of meat on 'em, but still not bad at all.
needed to use the flash tho, can't really see anything.
maybe she can work for miss Cleo! Come call me for a reading mon! I'll read your tarot and take your money.....
It's all a scam..... although those wiccan chicks are great nymphomaniacs... got laid more times in the 4 months before I had to make her leave for being a freak than ever in my life.... (3 times a day for 3 months straight and then 2 times a day thereafter is NUTS! wow.... I wonder if she is still single...
It's a lifestyle man.... do you go bashing queers? That's it' the fricking MS zealots are homohobes and hate anything that isnt their idea....
Siek Heil Gates.... Siek Heil Gates!
Heil Gates! Acktung!
Fricking MS non-thinker.... try fricking thinking for your self once buttboy... I bet you cant even figure out how to install linux.
Barry Bonds's home run record?
Sounds like you're jealous.
Bastard!
I've had my RealDoll dressed up like her and in that pose around a telepost in my basement!
Trolling is a art,
I wish I could mod you up. Maybe CmdrTaco and Co. would have seen it better. :-) But because of a 'troll' (yes I eat human), I won't get a chance for sometime.
Thanks for the article.pl tip :-)
is is just me, or is that picture slightly disturbing? She laying around topless in front of her little brother!
maybe i'm just gay? i don't know.
As my first official act of the new year, I want invite all of you idiotic self absorbed slashdot freaks, and all other assorted garbage humans who read this pathetic "news" site, to please imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
Oh yeah, and this:
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
It's JonKatz disguised as an AC!
I can take a day's worth of vacation. Just tell me where you want to meet. You'll need longer than a day, however (for recuperation purposes).
your sig link is kind of interesting, but most of your points about confusing fantasy with reality apply much more to M$ than to Linux. I'm thinking here about things such as Windows XP, the 'most secure windows ever'--excuse me, but i don't think win2k shipped with a security hole so dangerous that it caused the FBI to issue a warning. And having all accounts administrators by default and allowing no password on such an account is so absurd that I fail to see how they think it could be considered remotely secure. The marketing drones at M$ have no regard for reality and truth at all. Their pathological dishonesty and disingenuity is the reason that M$ is doing so well. Other companies at least have some scruples, and open source developers a lot more; in the open source world, at least, lying isn't institutionalized and rationalized away by saying "that's just business." Marketing is institutionalized lying, and M$ is the king of marketing--nothing else.
there's nothing weird about that. After all, women take off the top when they're face down on the beach, even mothers sometimes. And what's wrong with a naked body, anyway? Nothing, unless you believe and teach your kids that it's something to be ashamed of. We'd all be a lot happier if we didn't have so many hangups about naked or partially naked bodies.
fuck you WIPO you god damn cock-sucking homosexual faggot.
LooK!!!!! It is CmdrTaco as a young child!!!!!
CLICK HERE!!!!!
Sounds to me like you're an all-talk, no action nancy-boy.
Here's a piece of advice. If you threaten to kick someone's ass in the future, you better be prepared to follow up.
I reiterate. Name the place.
alone with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, slashdot and some ambient trance!! new years suck!! /.'ers

Salutes you!
6. Get a sick stereo (Krell and B&W).
You might look at Paradigm, I love mine, and i think they were considerably cheaper.
...he didn't really have an ex-girlfriend. That's just a picture of Drew Barrymore (from the back so that we can't really tell =)
You're the lamer squid fucker.
Happy fucking new year.
You guys have made so many bad calls on this page. Two posts I've made that have clearly been on-topic and related to the parent post have been modded down to -1. A few more of those and my IP is banned for a while, just because of a couple of fucking moronic moderators. Hint: you don't just mod down cause you disagree or because there is a thread going on a topic that you don't care for. fucking idiots
heh heh heh....
This is not a troll so it is okay to click the links.
Click right here to get great porn and remember this is not a troll. On the porn page just click the numbers in the middle of the page.

Didn't judging someone by their national origin/religion/sexual preference/age/whatever other silly yardstick you want to use/ go out awhile ago? Oh, wait - that was just with those of us who aren't insignificant capons. Typical of a moron, you posted garbage.
