Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions
Diabolus writes "This is the tale of a man, a bunch of disposable cameras, and his techniques for harvesting lots of capacitors to build a gauss gun. Insane..." A basic capacitor tutorial is probably in order.
No, not really. Fucking fag.
It's fun!!! Yay! ep!
Im a sicilian. And everybody knows, sicilians are criminals. Hahahaha!
Think nothing is impossible? Try slamming a revolving door.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered trolling community when recently Slashdot confirmed that, after several changes were made to production Slashcode, wide posts account for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all Slashdot posts. Coming on the heels of the latest verions of IE which make page-widening more difficult, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. the wide posts that we love are collapsing into the narrow posts that we are used to, as further exemplified by the lack of Slashbots complaining about difficulty reading Slashdot's articles.
You don't need to be a Klerck to predict PWP's future. The hand writing is on the wall: PWP faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for PWP because PWP is dying. Things are looking very bad for PWP. As many of us are already aware, PWP continues to be defeated by users with thresholds of 1 or higher. Mod points flow like a river of blood. Klerck's PWP-bot posts are the most endangered of them all, having been filtered early on because of their uniformity.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
PWP leader Klerck states that there are 7 wide posts in the average Slashdot article. How many non-wide crapflood posts are there? Let's see. The number of crapflood versus wide posts on Slahdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7*5 = 35 non-wide crapflood posts in every Slashdot article. Tacosnotting posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of crapflood posts. Therefore there are about 17 tacosnotting posts per article. A recent article put Goatse.cx trolls at about 80 percent of total troll posts. Therefore there are a hell of a lot of homosexual trolls. This is consistent with the number of Goatse.cx Slashdot posts.
But Slashdot is only part of the picture. Due to the troubles at Slashdot, negative revenue and so on, the site will soon go out of business and many users will flock to alternative weblogs, where PWP is almost completely unknown. Trollaxor.com, the popular troll hangout, is also dying, its corpse sodomized in yet another Greek bath house.
All major surveys show that PWP has steadily declined in the scope of all troll posts. PWP is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If PWP is to survive at all it will be among Blog faggot using outdated versions of Slashcode. PWP continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, PWP is dead.

"Build Your Own Virus"? "Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions"? I can see it now:
<geek1> No one's ever seen him. No one knows what he looks like.
<geek2> He has facial reconstructive surgery every three years.
<troll> "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."
<geek1> "Is it true about 2600 in Miami?"
<geek2> "Is michael building an army?"

OFF TOPIC: I got this message on my user info page.
Karma: Excellent (mostly affected by moderation done to your comments)
Why don't they track Karma numerically anymore?
END OFF TOPIC
Wait a minute...so, low karma is bad? God damnit, I've had it backwards until now.
I love slashdot!

USAToday.com got defaced with anti-Bush and anti-Christianity messages according to the Drudge Report. (Note: That page used to link to a report about the defacement, but now it seems like it was overwritten with some news from 2000... see drudgereport.com for more details, or let's hope they catch their mistake and re-update that link.)

Evil moderation is being used versus nice guys who noticed the new Karma crisis... We are lost, everything is lost.
Sigs are for morons... Wait a minute...
Thanks for the prompt response! :-)
I don't mind looking like a fool if I get a good answer
Now if only somebody could tell me why my +50 karma was replaced by "Karma: Excellent"
Still no info on the Slashdot FAQs
Anybody know?
Odd that I no longer have a Karma value but a Karma Word.
"Excellent" ?
What does that mean?
In Soviet Russia...michael would be rotting in Siberia!
sorry to post this but it needs to be done.
Today Jamie fucked up slashcode bad
1) He has removed anti page widening code, so slashdot looks messed up in IE again. Good job screwing over most of your users (everyone knows most people who visit slashdot use IE, windows or mac versions)
2) The karma system no longer uses numerical values... this means you don't know wether you are getting karma added or taken away besides a vague discription. Basically it means editors can abuse users they don't like easier.
Thanks Jamie, you hit two birds with one stone today, making the site look unprofessional on the most used browser in the world, and making it easier to abuse your users...

Just wondering.
It's whine, dumbass.
It's dumas, or posibly even dumb-ass; you shit-head!
Fill a can with a little bit of water and set it over a flame until the water begins to boil. At this point most of the air has left the can and been replaced with water vapor. The can will not implode yet, since the water vapor exerts about an atm of pressure on the inside of the can. However, if you submerge the can at this point in an ice bath, the vapor rapidly condenses and the can implodes by itself. Quite neat. You can make cans "jump" several feet once placed in the ice bath...
