Slashback: Gnoogle, PlayStation, Assault

Grab a cuppa joe, or whatever you drink at this time of day, and read on for this edition of Slashback, with updates and additional information on the strange (but statistically iffy) dangers of microbiology, Google's contest winner, and Sony's Linux kit for the PS2.

Location, location, location. A lot of people were interested in the Google contest whose winner was announced last week; Dan Egnor creator of that entry, writes "FYI, I've released the code for the winning Google contest entry under the GPL."

You mean they weren't just saying Hi? Anonymous Goodfella writes: "In an update to the Dangers of Being a Microbiologist, the AP [news.com.au] is reporting an attack on a Tennessee state medical examiner who gave evidence to an inquiry into the death of infectious diseases researcher Don Wiley. Coroner O.C. Smith was left tied with barbed wire to an apparent explosive."

Jakob Nielsen says Flash No Longer Evil Allen Varney writes "Given that Flash MX now supports the back button, Unicode, and accessibility, and has introduced p$user interface components, usability guru Jakob Nielsen today updated his famous 'Flash: 99% Bad' rant from October 2000. (Scroll down to see the update, stirringly titled 'Flash Now Improved.') His Nielsen Norman Group has formed a strategic alliance with Macromedia to start educating one million Flash designers in the fundamentals of good design. You did know that Flash .SWF is now an open format, right?"

Step 47: remove blindfold, scream. For those anxiously awaiting (or judiciously pondering) the Linux upgrade kit for the PS2, some words to consider from reader silvaran, who writes: "I just received my Playstation 2 Linux kit in the mail. I was disappointed to find that none of the monitors (3) that I had function properly with it. So I took to following the instructions on a blind install. It's not the most elegant of solutions, but it works. You need a blank memory card to install, but everything else is included in the kit. I'm on my way to a full Linux installation, complete with 100mbit networking, 40-gig HD and a USB keyboard and mouse; also included are full documentation on taking advantage of the PS2 hardware under Linux."

That blind install looks not for the faint of heart -- still, it would be nice if every distro included a simple walk through like that for when a monitor just isn't handy :)

Reader microwerx adds some a few more words of advice and caution: "[T]he PS2 Linux Kit will not read CDRs, so you'll have to use the supplied 10/100 Ethernet Adapter to get stuff in and out of the machine. One very good thing about the PS2 Linux Kit was the documentation regarding the Emotion Engine chip, etc. There's at least 2000+ pages of information regarding how it all works in glorious PDF format. There is also a OpenGL-like library (ps2gl) that supports the hardware. I also understand that SDL also works. Another is the amount of equipment you receive. You get a USB mouse and keyboard, a 10/100MBPS Ethernet Adaptor, A VGA convertor, and a 40Gb Hard drive. And all of this stuff appears to have some future use (you may have to remove Linux to use them nonetheless). So, once again, unless you just want the novelty of having a PS2 Workstation, developing console games, or setting up a small home server, I don't believe that you'll gain too much additional functionality. An overall rating of 3 1/2 stars out of 5 is certainly in order (because after all, it is for game development)."

  5. CmdrTaco Super Fag by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It was another hot sticky evening. I live in a small town of around 20,000
    people...very rural driven, with lots of farms surrounding the town. I was
    driving home from work, when I parked up on the lakefront to eat my
    McDonalds. I'm 21 years old, am straight, slim with a nice tan. I don't
    work out ever, but I look healthy.

    It was late on the summer's evening...around 9pm...and as usual, there were the
    "boyracers" parked up in the same car park. These guys are mostly 15 -- 18
    year olds still at school. They wear all the labels, are typically jocks,
    and have sexy cars which are lowered, have loud stereo's, tinted windows and
    spoilers. There were around 20 cars...all with these teens boozing and doing
    drugs. I was wearing my jeans and a t-shirt, and they were mostly wearing
    singlets, khakis trousers, baseball caps and sunglasses. There was only one
    car park -- between 1 sexy black car and a lowered wagon with tinted windows.
    I sat there eating my food, but I couldn't help look at the guys next to
    me. They had muscled arms, sexy tans, were mostly clean shaven, and they
    were all blonde -- except for one black guy. I had a boner just looking at
    them, which I was gently rubbing between by jeans. Suddenly someone yelled
    out "hey look this guys a fag -- he's rubbing himself". Suddenly 4 other
    teens came over to my car. The black guy grabbed my arm through the window
    (which was wound down). "you fag...you want some?". I didn't know what to
    say.

    "get out" said one of the blonde guys, with the bluest eyes ever and a smell
    of sweat and Tommy boy cologne....he appeared to be the leader...he was the
    sexiest by far....well tanned, and his body well defined, but his muscles
    weren't huge. I could see one of his large brown nipples peering out from
    around his singlet. "get in the wagon" he said. I stepped out, and they
    quickly shoved me in the back of the van. 2 jumped in the front, and the
    other 3 hopped in the back with me. They all looked so boyish. Fuck I was
    horny. The wagon smelled of piss and beer and grass. Also sexy cologne. I
    was laying on a black matress which was COVERED in cum stains. The black
    guy punched my arm...my cock got harder. "You gonna learn to fucken be a man
    tonight you fucken faggot". I looked up and saw the two cutest
    twinks...probably both 16, fully french kissing. They were both wearing
    shorts, one had fine blonde hairs on his legs...the other had shaven legs.
    The guy with the hair legs was rubbing the smooth twink, and his hand was
    massaging his balls through the legs in his Khakis. The stereo was up loud
    and the car was driving fast....I knew we were heading out into the country.
    Suddenly the black guy removed his army trousers, and he had the biggest
    blackest, juiciest cock I have EVER seen. He had trimmed pubes, and shaven
    legs. "suck it bitch"....I didn't have time to argue...he slammed his meat into
    my throat. I sucked on his purple head. "finger my hole you white fag". I
    licked my finger, and it quickly slid into his shithole...which felt smooth
    and clean. "oh yeah....fuck that hole.... Suck that fat hot cock....oh yeah".
    I rubbed his smooth warm thighs with my other hand.

    Suddenly the wagon skidded around a corner and into an isolated rest area
    next to a farm. The car stopped, then we reversed. Then the back doors
    opened, and the car was parked with the rear facing into a field...with a
    black horse in it. There were tree's all around us and no other signs of
    people. One of the drivers had a small video camera and was videoing me
    sucking this black guys cock.

    "oh fuck, oh god, oh you bitch, suck my nigger cock, oh yeah, OHHHHH"
    suddenly jets of boiling hot, thick sticky cum bolted down my mouth, down my
    throat and over my face. His body shuddered.....he then pushed me over on to
    my back. They dragged the mattress out of the car and onto the ground. One
    of the teens was out with the horse bringing him over. There was a full
    moon, and the car had bright lights on the inside. The horse came over to
    us...then they all removed their clothes. The other teens were blonde with
    sexy firm stomachs, slight muscles, and they had sexy shaven legs. I was
    in paradise. These sexy teens were all gonna fuck me hard and raw.

    Then one of the boys pashed me....."ohhhh" he moaned as our tongues twisted.
    Then the leader guy ripped my t-shirt off, and twisted my nipples.
    "arrrrgghh" I screamed. "fuck up fag" he said, and he kicked me in my
    thigh........he kept pinching and twisting....my cock was SO hard, and dripping
    cum. I then stopped kissing this gorgeous twink, and turned around...and
    there was the black guy sucking the horses cock with the blonde boy with the
    hairy legs, sucking, licking and massaging the horses balls.

    "ok mother fucker, your turn" said the leader. I knelt down under the horse
    and placed my lips around the horses black long cock. I couldn't believe
    what was happening. I could smell beer, and 2 of the boys were drinking
    beer. The leader then unbuttoned my jeans...."oh yeah, look at that piece of
    meat" he said. "Troy -- fix his cock". Troy, the young teen with the shaven
    legs, leaned into the wagon and pulled out a small black bag. He placed two
    clips onto my nipples...I screamed in pain, but again the leader kicked me in
    the thigh....."fuck up slut....suck the cock...that's what you love faggot"....then
    a cock ring was placed around my cock so I couldn't cum... and Troy went to
    town, sucking on my cock. Then the leader removed my jeans, and spat spit
    and snot onto my ass....he rubbed it in with a finger, then pushed his cock
    deep into me. "ohhh yeah, fag.....yeah.....let me fuck your virgin ass...ohhhh".
    The guy filming all this also was masterbating his cock. The black guy was
    drinking beer and his cock had come back to life. And the teen with the
    hairy legs started fucking Troy up the ass while he sucked me.

    Then the horse started making a noise.....and then it came....huge wads of horse
    cum sprayed over my face, and into my mouth. I swallowed as much as I could
    but there was gallons of it. The hot cum covered me head to toe. Then the
    leader came up my ass.....he wrapped his arms tightly around my neck, almost
    strangling me as his firm, hard body convulsed and his cock twitched and
    exploded up my ass hole. I had to cum but I couldn't. His smooth chest
    rubbed up and down my cum covered back.

    The horse wandered off, and Troy then started kissing my chest and eating
    the horse sperm. Then another car pulled up.... guy around 18 got out. He
    had long black hair, and wasn't clean shaven. He removed his shorts and
    hopped over the fence and up to us. They all knew who he was. I didn't.
    He removed his khakis and flopped out the longest cock I have ever seen. He
    smelt of real man, and he was sexy in a dirty way. He rammed his cock in my
    mouth. "sorry I'm late" he said in a deep sexy voice. Then Troy came all
    over my chest. Followed by the other teen. I had sperm everywhere. The
    leader scooped it up and forced me to drink it while sucking this tall guys
    cock...who's name was Robert I think...from what I could here from all the loud
    slurping. He fucked my mouth hard.

    "suck my balls your homo" I did as I was told. His purple veins stuck out
    on his huge balls. "ohhh yeah, suck my balls....put my heavy balls in your
    mouth... oh yeah, oh yeah, OH YEAH" then he squirted his cum all over my face
    and body... almost as much as the horses. Then the teen filming us came on
    me. Then the black guy came over to me. "Open your mouth you cum slut". I
    did, and he came in my mouth. "ohh fuck....yeah, yeah suck my white sperm
    down your throat....ohhh man that's good". Then he stopped. But before I
    could get my breath back, he moved his cock to my mouth again "now swallow
    every drop or we'll fucken kill you".....my cock was pulsing with pressure.
    He then pissed in my mouth. I swallowed back the golden liquid...."ohhhh" I
    moaned in pleasure. Once he had finished, and I'd swallowed every drop, he
    leaned over and french kissed me. His big lips felt incredible.

    Troy then opened up container full of milky liquid. The leader took it off
    him "he you go cum slut.....you love cum so much, then drink every drop of
    this" "what is it?" is asked. "cum from a great dame's hot penis and from
    a rotweilers". He tipped it into my waiting mouth, as Troy removed my cock
    ring. I came instantly shooting my cum about 3 metres, hitting the sexy
    twink. Who's name was Matt. "Hey Fuck man, watch it" he said. I drank the
    sweet dog cum. Once it had gone, they loaded me and the cum splattered
    mattress into the wagon. On the way back into town they took me on the long
    trip. I continued to suck off the guys and Matt made me suck his shithole
    clean after he crapped into my jeans. I licked his bubble butt clean, after
    coming hard all over the back of his smooth twink thighs...which I was then
    forced to clean up. They dropped me off at my car.....because Matt had shat
    in my jeans I was wearing Matt's Kahkis which smelt sexy....and I still sniff
    to this day. Infact, my girlfriend wonders where I got them. Just before
    I left Matt pashed me again....and told me if I ever told anyone about this,
    they'd "fucken kill me".

    I went home and took three days off work, masterbating, eating my cum and
    pissing into my mouth. I've never seen those guys again...they must've been
    visiting.

    My girlfriend has incredible sex with me now as I imagine my evening with
    the teen twink fuck sluts.

In more than twenty stories since 9-11 he has followed his tested strategy of using only government documents, official statements or verifiable press reports as the basis for his work. As a result he has been openly received by several members of Congress and maintains open lines of communication with congressional and committee staffs.
