"Tap" Palm Art at The Whitney's Artport
technogamy writes: "Art.geeks -- check out The Whitney Museum of American Art's Artport, a 'portal to net art and digital arts, and an online gallery space for commissioned net art projects.' Note specifically Jim Buckhouse's Tap--part of Creative Time's Beaming Network, Tap's collaborative, evolving, quirky app hops on to your Palm-based device through a sleek silver beaming cube. (I freaked out when I saw one of the cubes at a local Barnes and Noble ... especially when I realized that I knew the person who made them. ;]) Here's how Tap works. Get some culture, people!"
totally off topic but i wanna ask this in front of a large audience.. why does the spam I get have a random string of 1) numbers or 2) letters and numbers after it?
ie "slutty whores fuck animals 26tty5wfsfsdfsdf"
etc.. almost all the spam I get now has something like this after it..
what is it? why is it in the TITLE? and is there a way to filter based on the "randomness" of it?
whatever.. i love trolls, i hate spam. i don;t want to get my diploma or see brtniey spears fingering anna kornikvia
with all the amazing restrictions placed on posts (2 mins per post, junk characters, stupid `whoa cowboy shit`, etc) you'd think they could fucking add one more that says "if # of .'s >= words per line" etc
./ if it were 'fixed' or 'cool' or 'professional'
watch i bet even the above won't make it trhough the junk character thing
my impression of slashdot: it took off because the topics are cool. but the coders are, and always have been, lame. very bad coders. and the editors do as much editing as a chimp. they dont evcen spell check etc. that brings out the trolls, which is a cool way of getting an active user base.. nobody would come to
so...
fuck shlashot
to stay on topic: fuck anyone wiwth a PDA im poor

.dot file lists is sheer idiocy. How often does someone post unix .dotfiles? How easy is it for someone who must post said files to workaround the lameness filter (fuck, everyone else seems to have to)? Now compare that to having every story scribbled on by Klerck... who is not just annoying some readers, but making you look like the bunch of

This is a perfect example of how little the slashdot editors care about the site. Remember the other page widening bugs... you could have temporarily disabled BLOCKQUOTE and list tags while you worked on a fix - but no. We had weeks
of page widening (and not just on IE), while you sat on your fat asses thinking up a fucking regexp.
It's really not acceptable guys. I work as a coder, and if I worked in such a shoddy way I'd be out the door. You are not even taking this perfectly valid patch to fix a bug which affects a large percentage of your readership. The work has
been done for you - and the excuse that it stops people from posting unix
incompetant web monkeys you are.
Frankly, the entire system is a joke, and it looks more and more like you are sabotaging things to piss off your employers.

Its clear that the so-called "editors" and "coders" at Sla$hdot are so deluded and confused, that they think by NOT fixing this bug, millions of IE/Windows users will suddenly flock to Linux/Mozilla. Or they think they are revealing some "bug" in IE (guess what, it happens
with Netscape under Win 98 also).
Just for fun I tried page-widening on some other comment pages. IT DOES NOT WORK. For example try www.shacknews.com. The comment I post is wide, but THE OTHER COMMENTS ARE FINE.
So, whats broken? Your stupid open sorez code is broken.
You guys really are starting to be your own worst enemy. Your readership and hitcounts are down, aren't they? Its because you are OUT OF TOUCH! If you do not fix the bug, people, ALOT OF PEOPLE, alot more than your Mozilla readership, will be *ANNOYED*.
ANNOYING YOUR USERBASE IS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL. GET A FUCKING CLUE.
You guys suck. Goodbye.

jamie - don't be such a fucking incompetant. any *real* web programmer worth their salt would test against all popular web browsing configurations (linux, mac os, windows running IE, netscape, mozilla, opera, konqueror).
i know that VA is going down the tubes, but i'm certain they can at least buy one windows box w/ IE for testing. in the *real* world, your ass would be canned in a heartbeat for blatantly ignoring 90% of your potential customers. ha! what are you going to tell your paying
customers:
"if you want to view slashdot, please download netscape and install on your machine"
the saddest part of this whole thing is that somebody has already given you the patch. i know "cut-and-paste" is a difficult thing to do, but calm down, jamie, even 11 year old Sandy in the Special Ed courses can do it on her iMac.
here's a hint: In Xemacs, you can paste text from the clipboard buffer using Shift-Insert.
And the wonderful thing about Perl is that you don't have to learn how to do really *hard* stuff, like compiling and linking. or using the makefile. or the debugger.
You can just rerun the script, and, VOILA! You're ready to test!
so why don't you get off your slug ass and fix this fucking shit. if not for us, the potential customers, then at least do it so you don't look like a total retard in front of 250,000 users a day.
like i said before - in the real world, your ass wouldn't survive...

Other than that, good work!
going OT a bit: on a side note, i never found a authoritative answer what "tamagotchi" actually means. various translations i heard over the years include:
- Egg-friend
- Watch inside the egg
- Lovable
- Love-me
- Care-for-me
any native speakers can shed some light on this?tamago - egg
tomodachi - friend
tamago + tomodachi = tamagotchi
tamago - honorable feces
tomodachi - happy shower
tamago + tomodachi = tamagotchi
Thats funny.... Daily Show cancelled today, and Captain Crunch (Draper) a known and proven homosexual... but a very smart and nice guy all the same.
Your post was factual and interesting but what does that have to do with limpwristed tap dancers armed with PDAs and tap dance software
Was original posters contact "technogamy " gay? Here is technogamy's mugshot from his website.

but the buddy of hemos (Timoty) that approved and posted this stupid news arTicle has a dream diary where he dreams he is Johnny depp a lot and Emilo Estevez
http://www.monkey.org/~timothy/dream.2000.April
In it he writes of being in pg-13 situations with girls but at the same time seems to like these hunky young male actors enough to want to be them.
Makes you wonder if he took tap dance lessons.
If Timothy's sexuality tends to be away from norm, and Timothy has ties to Hemos as well as this Tap Dancing article... what does this imply then about the sexual makup of Hemos.
now I don't care one way or another if a person tends to be bisexual, asexual, or whatnot but still it makes you wonder....
Does anyone here know the story between Hemos and Timothy? Are they merely good friends? Do they live in separate states? Have they ever met in person? Why the tap dancing articles?
Why not articles about the expose on cryptome.org this week (Magic lantern sotware cracked and dedongellized and uploaded to cryptome for cryptophreak analysis).

Frankly, the entire system is a joke, and it looks more and more like you are sabotaging things to piss off your employers.
...The matrix has you...
;-(
I've been expecting you, Klerck.
I suppose you feel a little like Alice; tumbling down the rabbit hole, hmmm? You know something, Klerck. You know something is wrong with the entire system. You felt it ever since you dropped out of highschool, whenever you pay your child support, whenever you eat your noodles... The truth, Klerck, is that you are a slave and a world of lies has been pulled over your eyes to blind you, to control you, and turn you into a slashdotting troll junkie. The question you came to me for an answer...
Why can't I crap flood anymore?
i gotta run! stand clear of those agents with that ass-raping tracking worm they slip down yer pie-hole bellybutton.
Great Tapdancers need grace, and being "graceful" is incompatible with being "manly".
Its a fact.
I have nothing against homosexuals. I do not believe in public discrimination against homosexuals in any way. I wouldn't careone whit if I was in the army and I shared the barracks with a gay man. Nor would I give a frosty crank if a gay man walked into the gym shower while I was in there washing my goodies, unless he started pointing and laughing real hard.
But I do take offence at people claiming that some types of dance are manly when they aren't : Sammy Davis Jr not withstanding.
Why do we need these all new gay advances in software promoted on slashdot when you know that its going to result in nothing but backlash... even among gay sypathizers.
All this talk of tapdancing makes me cringe. What need here is a clever gay bar joke :
----
This guy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "But what the heck," he says, "I really want a drink."
When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the customer, "What's the name of your penis?"
The customer says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."
The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis. Mine for instance is called 'Nike,' for the slogan, 'Just Do It.' That guy down at the end of the bar calls his 'Snickers,' because 'It really Satisfies."
The customer looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. The customer asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of your penis?"
The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX."
The thirsty customer asks, "Why Timex?"
The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!"
A little shaken, the customer turns to the fella on his right, who is sipping a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you call your penis?"
The man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because 'Quality is Job 1.' " Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?"
Even more shaken, the customer has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his penis. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is 'Secret.' Now give me my beer."
The bartender begins to pour the customer a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why secret?"
The customer says, "Because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!"
Three unreleated gay men died, and were going to be cremated. Their life-partners happened to be at the funeral home at the same time, and were discussing what they planned to do with the ashes.
The first man said, "My Ryan loved to fly, so I'm going up in a plane and scatter his ashes in the sky."
The second man said, "My Ross was a good fisherman, so I'm going to scatter his ashes in our favorite lake."
The third man said, "My Jack was such a good lover, I think I'm going to dump his ashes in a pot of spicy chili, so he can tear my ass up just one more time."
You need help. You fucking Canux would list Princess Bride and Aliens in the same list. God help you. Those of you fuckwads tight on time that want a real list of good movies:
1) Total Recal - (you'll remember that one girl that wanted to have fun...
2) Braveheart - (as patriotic as I wanna get. Killing Britains is truly my hobby)
3) Predator 1 - (the best extra-terristrial-meets-human movie)
4) Alien 3 - (best Sci-Fi)
5) Soldier - (only good Kurt Russel movie I know of)
6) *Any movie in which Robin Williams or Elton John Dies*
If it were up to you fucking Canux' then we would all be seeing Pokemon 2000, WaterWorld, Goonies, and the likes of that fucking John AssCandy topping the charts.
Keep your fucking frenchy lard fingers out of the action you bunch of wooly whore woofers!!
