Historic Bucky Dome Needs Help
Anonymous Coward writes "Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic Dome is falling apart and one man hopes to save it. Read more at http://www.msnbc.com/news/748889.asp?0bl=-0" The Buckminster Fuller Institute has a page on the dome, which has contact info for donations.
I didn't even say hello...
cause submissions to get auto rejected? I've submitted 3 stories, each time all I have to do is refresh the submit page and it is already rejected. Guess I didn't only get fucked in the moderation department.
Banned from moderation 01-27-2002. Fuck you too
Yay for some guy who made domes!
Why is this here? Are you asking Slashdotters to give money?
Well I said come over moderater we got goatse.cx in the
Barn hoose barn what barn CowboyKneel's barn

Easy now troll it ahhhh... troll it right past the mod
Yeah.... You can flame one time for me
TRoLL.
nigger worshipping jews like you make me want to vomit.
Just pull out all the windows and sell it to the government as a historical "Mental Health and Relaxation Facilitator" (monkey bars)for $100,000 and build a new one with the profits.
blow it out yer ass you stupid limey nigger
NIGGER SEX! The best in beastiality!
It's a cry to destroy all homosexuals like yourself. Niggers, faggots, jews, etc are the poison of the world.
TRoLL.
fuck yous go to all non-trolls. FUCK YOU
TRoLL.
Let me explain.
I use the OpenBS DOS on several of our mainframe computers at work, mainly as a firewall and active directory servers. I needed some functionality that the BSD (Berkely Solaris Distribution) licensed utilities didn't provide. Rather than try to add it myself (I have 10 years experience wuth Java script and VB script), I thought it would be simpler install the GNU software instead.
I downloaded the software, only to discover I had to compile it! That should have been my first clue that GNU softare wasn't suitable, but the instructions to compile it looked simple, so I decided to try it. First I had to `configure'' it, which apparently consists of listing lines of gibberrish. Unfortunately, it also gave me warnings that I didn't have other [GPL] software that it needed, and would need to install it to continue.
After trying to install 4 other GPL libraries just to get the original application to configure (never mind ``compiling''!, I discovered that the replacement libraries conflicted with the original OpenBS libraries, and were causing applications to crash. As there is no "uninstall" option, We had to go to backup.
As you can see, the GPL is viral, since attempting to install just one utility forces you to install multiple other libraries and utlities. I would recommend only using BSD utilities.
Addenduum: We consulted with a MSCE, who told us Microsoft Advandted Data Center XP included the functionality we needed. We upgraded, and were able to improve our uptime and transaction speed.
...the portrait of an obese homosexual fanatic. As his CmdrTaco always said: "CowboyNeal... I said Cowboy Kneel! Kneel down and suck my cock!"
Head on over to GOAT SEX and begin wanking immediately you fucking nigger loving faggot.
TRoLL.
and delete his account from this shit site
the only good nigger is a dead nigger
As many of you know, The gartner groups has reported, and as confirmed by Netcraft, the biggst stumbling block to accceptance of GNU software is the GPL and its draconian terms, which discourage ip.
Therefore, I propose that we fork the GPL and create a new license with terms that don't restrict individual liberties.
I know a lot of you have been told that forking is bad, but that's just FUD from teh FSF's marketting department to make you accept the GPL's terms. FNU software has a rcih history of forking: the VI (very introverted) editor is a fork of emacs, linux is a fork of minix, and ls is a fork of dir.
I look forward to your thoughts on this matter.

This might be of some help.
As I send you into that infinite good night, old friend of mine, I must say one last time...Rest in peace mudda fucka! bling bling bling
Friend,
Please refrain from using "editor" and "/." (or "Slashdot") in the same sentence. The two are mutually exclusive.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Parent
One thing that I've always envied about Linux boxen, is the fact that even when a program locks up your console so tight that no keyboard input's getting through at all, you can always walk over to another computer, SSH in, and kill -9 the offending culprit. As far as I know it, Win2k/XP has no such built-in facility.
The Resource kits for professional and server editions of 2k seem to include some type of kill utility, but I'm not sure if I want to run a random service on my system where someone can just waltz in, and kill something important -- I didn't see any authentication info on those utilities.
On the other hand, I've recently discovered VanDyke's VShell service, which lets a 2K box run as an SSH, SCP, and IP forwarding service -- quite neat, actually. In this case, it's the SSH part that interests me most, since there's apparently the possiblity of accessing CMD.exe remotely. Now all I have to do is find the 2K analog of "kill", and I should be all set. And yes, there appears to be authentication a plenty, especially since this is a version of SSH...
Hmm, and come to think, that SCP (what's with the move to the 'SFTP' name anyhow?) server will be useful too! VanDyke seems to take security seriously, and updates often, and SCP's just a good concept in any case. Right now, I have no remote access to my box because exploits on Windows shares are infinite, and scare the shit out of me. As a result, I actually have the file & printer sharing protocol unbound at the TCP/IP level.
On the other hand, port 22 seems to be something that gets attacked pretty rarely (for what I think are obvious reasons), and VShell's not common enough to draw a whole lot of exploits again. As soon as I finish dithering with the user rights (I think the thing uses ACLs), I should be all set to have remote access to my own files again! Yay ...
I prefer to pray to Joe Pesci.
:-)
Ahhh, Carlin...
"Two reasons. First of all, I think he's a good actor, ok? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy that can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around! In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple things God® was having trouble with. For years I asked God® to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat. So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now..." I could go on for hours
OK, this is a troll. But I had to get it out
of my system. I for one am, not falling under the
spell of this ``futuristic geodesic dome'' mantra.
The first time I heard about Mr. Buckminster Fuller
several years ago I was almost convinced that
the messiah of modern architecture had at last
walked the planet. He is a ``visionary'', a ``genius'',
the great pooh-bah, he invented or
discovered the geodesic dome.
Yeah right, a sphere made up of triangles. So what?
It's been known at least from the time of the
ancient Egyptians that the triangle is a very
rigid structure. Mr. Fuller applied the principle
to the sphere and suddenly he is a genius?
He even got a molecular configuration named
after him. What's next?, an element named
buckminsterfullerium?
A post above me even claims that Mr. Fuller's
geodesic dome led to advances in chemistry.
Now, that is one huge leap of progress
in the impending deification of Mr. Fuller, I say.
Well kiddo, let me be the devil's advocate.
Just what did Mr. Fuller come up with that
can compare with
that deserves all this adulation he is
getting?
