Black Holes Disputed

JScarpace writes: "Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and at the University of South Carolina in Columbia have proposed the existence of "gravastars" which are bubbles of superdense matter. If they are correct, the idea of a black hole with a singularity at the center may be just a fantasy."

    And now every single Linux user on the planet will chime in with their own expert opinion on this topic. This opinion will most likely be based on a quick glance through of the article, because a deeper reading would require knowledge which is not fathomable to the vast majority of the Slashdot community.

    That's right everyone, jump in with your own little additions to the story. Try to make everyone think you are smart. Make valiant efforts to convince others that you are learned and already aware of what this new science holds for the future. Pretend that when people read your nonsense that you are placed in higher esteem.

    Don't forget to moderate me into oblivion, you fools who refuse to hear any speech that does not praise the wonder of Linux.

    Texas man sexually tortured for days in small Nebraska town
    Fri Jan 18 2002 11:39:56 ET

    A Texas man was sexually tortured and held against his will for nine days inside a downtown flower shop by its owner in Wayne, Nebraska, it was reported on Friday.

    Business owner Roger Van, 55, is accused of luring 36-year-old Jonathan Cooper of Houston to the small college town last month via the Internet to begin a "sadistic bondage" relationship.

    Their relationship included various forms of sex and torture. Authorities would not elaborate. Another man, 36-year-old Jerry Marshall, also participated, said police.

    Van and Marshall were charged Thursday with sexual assault, two counts of assault, false imprisonment and terroristic threats after a search warrant was delivered at Van's flower shop.

    Marshall helped Cooper escape after nine days in confinement, the AP reported.

    Wayne, a community of 5,583 people, is 85 miles northwest of Omaha in northeast Nebraska.
