    It's strange.. this never happened on Windows XP.

    Short description

    The application KDE Panel (kicker) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

    What is this?

    An application mostly receives [sic] the SIGSEGV signal due to a bug in the application. The application was asked to save its documents.

    What can I do?

    You might want to send a bug report to the author (if you can find him). Please include as much information as possible (don't bother, he won't read it anyway) maybe the original documents (if Microsoft said that, you would file a lawsuit). If you have a way to reproduce this error (installing Linux was your first mistake), please include this also.

    Bad Slash: SlashCode cutters don't know HTML?

    Introduction
    Recently there has been some controversy over Slashdot's apparent disregard for browsers other than Konqueror or Netscape (*cough* IE *cough) ability to render the page, and some unfortunate crapfloods which would appear differently in different browsers.

    The "editors" (I use the term loosely) of Slashdot appear to believe that Slashcode generates perfect HTML which any browser should render correctly, else the browser must be "buggy".

    Slashcode's HTML Output

    Just curious, I tried running the front page of Slashdot through the W3 validator [w3.org] to test this claim. The results were shocking.

    Lets stick to the facts and drill down into the numbers. The W3 validator found HUNDREDS of errors on the very first page of Slashdot that you view every day. It terminated with the simple line Sorry, this document does not validate as HTML 3.2..

    So, what is broken? Is it IE? Or is it the amateur garage-style open source code which is at fault? You be the judge. [w3.org]

    Apparently, Slashcode follows the open source coding and testing ethic of "it worked for me". It's just too much to ask them to try to test their code for conformance and compliance, or even just try it on a variety of platforms.

    Microsoft's HTML Output

    Still curious, I tried running msn.com and microsoft.com through the validator. I was totally taken aback when the validator reported ZERO ERRORS in *either* of these pages.

    Conclusion

    1. It may benefit the coders to attempt to adapt to some kind of acceptable process for designing, writing, and testing their own code. Perhaps some professional experience would be beneficial here. Certainly an accountability for certain quality standards must be implemented.

    2. Perhaps Slashdot should consider switching to IIS 5.0 or .NET server and rewriting their code using a stable, reliable platform like Visual C++ or .NET. Perhaps only then will the browser compatbility issues will be resolved.

    These are just suggestions. I am here to help.

    Okay, before anyone mods this down, a little further down I get back to the "body image" notions brought up in the linked journals.

    Former as in still in her early 20s former. 5'9, 110 pounds, a body that puts Kate Moss' at the top of her career a few years ago to shame because it still has all the right curves to it. And, only a profesional call girl could be so skilled in the arts of sex. ;-) Best $250 an hour full service "physical therapy" you can get...

    You can find any type of girl you want at lots of different price points and service levels at thebigdoggie.net. Just click on the board for the city or state you want, and read up. The message boards can be searched for past reviews of a girl once you get an idea of who you might want. A small membership fee gets access to "members' boards" and a review database, but I've never gotten a membership because once you learn the ropes you can find all you need on the public boards. Obviously, if you're in or near a big city you're in luck, but if you live in the boon docks or the Midwest you may have no one great nearby. There are a ton of escort ads on Eros Guides, but you need to research the girls on TBD first to see who's legitimate because many are scammers.

    I do a lot of travelling and the best cities for finding terrific escorts are either of the big cities in California, any big Florida city, DC, and Chicago. New York City's top escorts are usually more expensive, which is why I usually don't visit them. I've also been to the Moonlite BunnyRanch in Nevada, where it's legal, and it was way overpriced. My favorite city to stay in on business is DC, because they have a lot of beautiful young escorts down there at generally lower rates--if you ever visit there, you must visit Samantha or Eve at Tori's Secret. I was in DC a month ago, and saw both of them. Eve is also a former runway model, and all the girls look better than their pics at Tori's because their photographer is an idiot.

    I've never understood why prostitution should be illegal if it's conducted safely and discreetly, like escorting is. Streetwalking is a public nuisance--but some low-key ads and some internet websites used to bring consenting adults together isn't harming anyone; it's a public service, making for happier, healthier people. Even Bonobo monkeys engage in the trade of resources for sex. It's natural. Sex independent of interpersonal relationships can be a fungible service just like any other.

    I'm a big fat geek who's traded long hours of work and his formerly less ample figure for copious amounts of money, and I use that money to really enjoy my life. I don't mind being fat. It isn't keeping me from doing anything I'd enjoy otherwise, and I'm not either wasting my time (subjective judgement, of course--some enjoy exercise) doing a lot of exercise (more work IMHO), or cutting out my cigars and fattening foods and alcohols, just to lose a few pounds and keep it lost.

    Some people have to be thin to feel okay about themselves, but I'm here to say: bollocks. I like my fat white body. I love how it feels to my hands and the hands of others. I love how my fat jiggles when I'm getting a really good fucking with the girl on top. Why should I care if some people don't think I look good? Ideas of beauty have been mutable for most of human history. The Greeks and Romans loved hard bodies, and so do we. But a couple centuries ago in Europe being pale and flabby was considered beautiful because it was a sign of wealth and class, and in prehistory fertility idols were made in the shape of really big fat women. Rubens' women would be considered fat today. Marilyn Monroe was considered the hottest woman alive forty or fifty years ago, but she wore about a size 12, which today would make her a bit on the chunky side.

    So, I'm not missing out on anything. I've got all of life's pleasures and enjoy them guilt-free, no petty worries about calories or weight or whatnot. Whenever I'm single I just buy sex the same way one buys any other service, and whenever I find a girl I like who's interested in a lot more than current notions of what most people think "looks good" that's great too. To quote *Pulp Fiction*, "It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye are seldom the same."

    Love your fat geeky bodies, guys. They may not look how a lot of people think they should look, but that's just modern jock-driven elitist aesthetics. They feel good, and that's what really matters.
