Any way of verifying that the experimental package that was supposed to be on the ICBM was what was actually launched, rather than say, a highly stealthed intelligence bird? Launching off a sub would be perfect for that sort of mission profile -- can't get at the rocket before it launches cause it's sealed in a launch tube -- hell, you could even do a switcheroo an load one tube and launch another -- besides of which, who wants to get on a Russian boomer anyway? Way too many extra rads. The only way of verifying the payload would be optical inspection, something that would be difficult if the sub launched from the right place.

Many Americans have no clue how the penis bird became so important in the pyramid of a balanced diet, so in this article I will attempt to explain its history and why it is so useful. In the early 1870s, Francis Zefran became the first penis bird breeder in North America. He started his famous Penis Bird Ranch in Canton, OH. At the time, not much was known of the penis bird's nutritional value, but the Penis Bird Ranch changed all of that. Not only did Francis Zefran raise penis birds to sell their colorful plumes (a VERY lucrative business), he also set up the world's first research lab dedicated solely to the study of the penis bird. The lab found many interesting things. First, it was discovered that thepenis bird was actually semi-sentient. Second, the scientists found that the meat of the penis bird was high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, and calcium, while low in fat, cholestorol, and sodium. Never before had such a nutritious meal been had without supplement or fortification. The scientists of the lab recommended immediately that the penis bird become a part of every American's daily diet. When the news of the penis bird's usefulness reached president Rutherford B. Hayes, he was absolutely ecstatic. You see, President Hayes owed a number of favors to Francis Zefran because as I said earlier, the penis bird plume trade was an extremely lucrative business and Mr. Zefran was important in getting RBH elected through a number of monetary gifts. President Hayes immediately asked Congress to pass what we all know today as the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act. The act did a number of things to make the penis bird a daily meal, most important of which was the requirement that for every four people in a household, one penis bird must consumed every day. Another thing the act did was create an artificial monopoly for Francis Zefran's Penis Bird Industries. The act stated that the only supplier of penis bird meat in the US would be PBI. As one would imagine, this quickly made Francis Zefran into the richest man in the world. He was soon a multi-billionaire (quadrillionaire with today's inflation). Never before had a single man seen such wealth. Many challenges were made to the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act, and several even made it the Supreme Court. It was argued that the act was unconstitutional and went against liberty itself, but once the detractors tasted delicious penis bird meat for the first time, they immediately dropped their cases and followed the law to the letter. We all know today that penis bird is the most delicious meat man has ever known, but at that time, the only meats people ate were pork and beef. In the early 1970s, though, challenges to the act began again. Many argued that the monopoly given to Penis Bird Industries by the act was in all ways unamerican. The Supreme Court finally agreed, and in 1974, Section II of the act was struck down. This in effect opened the market to competition for all. Today, Penis Bird Industries is almost no more.

    Hanging: Two problems with this... First of all it's boring. I mean, God, there's no excitement in just hanging there! Second, it could be somewhat painful. Choking to death doesn't exactly turn me on. Of course, I could auto-erotically asphyxiate myself to death, I suppose.

    Shooting: This seems to be the way I will likely go. It's quick, it's (hopefully) painless, and very messy which means very exciting! The only problem I have with this is that everybody seems to go out this way these days. Kurt Cobain, Vincent van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway... the list goes on. Do I really want to be known as just another guy who shot himself?

Get a gun, some duct tape and a rope, and find a tall bridge. Duct tape the gun to your hand in a position comfortable enough to use it (this is so when you jump, you don't accidentally drop it). Tie one end of the rope around your neck noose-style, and the other to the aforementioned bridge tightly. Use some duct tape to reinforce it if you're not sure. Now, jump off the bridge. Make sure its a good jump, so you'll most likely break your neck instantly. If you don't die instantly and you still have some degree of motor control, use the gun for quick relief. If you didn't get your cub scout merit badge in noose-tying, duct tape, jumping, or sucking on your nine mil, then you always have surface tension and gravity assisted flight as a your backup. For good measure, you can add the following: Taking sleeping pills, using a bridge over a busy freeway instead of water, or slitting your wrists. I've been told it is impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath. Always keep in mind the sequence of events, you don't want to do something like take the sleeping pills first and completely eliminate your ability to multitask later on.

    Hello, My name is Tiffany. I want to share with you all, some things that have happened in my life and this story will be mostly fictional with just a touch of reality in it. I hope you will enjoy my story. When I was 8 years old my mommy put me in diapers because I had been wetting the bed. I didn't really mind too much though, because when I laid in bed at night I would fantasize about being a real baby again. My older sister Tammy who was 14 at that time, would sometimes wake me up in the morning when she was getting ready for school. "Tiffy, Is your diaper wet baby?" Tammy asked as I opened my eyes. "Yes, I wet." I replied softly as I rubbed my eyes and began to wake up. Tammy picked me up and laid me on the floor and got some wipies and slid down my rubber pants and unpinned my wet cloth diaper. "Wow you sure did go pee allot!" Tammy said while smiling at me. I blushed and laid there as she cleaned me up and then slid a pair of panties up my legs and helped me get dressed. I went out to go eat breakfast and mom said good morning and stuff and then I got my backpack and went off to school. At this point of my life I was only in diapers during the night, and no one really knew that I wanted to be a baby. I did not share this with any of my friends either. I was a bit shy in general anyway. School went like usual, and I got home and played with some friends. Then came dinner time, then bath time, and soon came bedtime. This was a typical day in my life at that time. But, things were about to change. One day in May, a couple of my best friends and I were playing. We wanted to play house and I decided I wanted to be the baby. I had told these two girls about my diapers at night and so on, they were ok with it. But they didn't know I had fantasies about being a baby again. Anyway, I walked out to the living room and found my mom ironing clothes. "Mommy, we wanna play house, and I wanna be the baby, can you put me in one of my cloth diapers and rubber pants so I can play the baby." I said. My mother looked at me and said "Can't you just pretend honey?" I shook my head no. "Well ok, I guess you can wear one. Just wait a moment baby I'll come in there and change you into a diaper in a moment. I need to finish what I'm doing here ok sweetie?" My mother said as I ran out of the room back to my room. "So what did she say?" Laura asked. "She said she would put me in a diaper after she finishes ironing." "Oh cool!" I could tell we were going to have lots of fun. My mother came in a few minutes later with one of my cloth diapers and some pink rubber pants. She also had some baby powder. She diapered me in front of my friends and we all giggled because it was so funny that I was going to get to be a baby in a real diaper. After she finished she smiled and said, "You girls have fun." We all thanked her and she left the room. "Ok, so lets start, I will be the mommy, and Laura, you can be the big sister, and Tiffany, you are the baby!" Emily said. I smiled and then began to talk in baby talk and crawl around on the floor and Laura, who was playing the part of my older sister, was rolling a ball towards me trying to get me to roll it back. Then Emily came over and held me in her lap. "Its time for baby to take a nap." "No I don't wanna nap" I said in a whiney little baby voice. "Yes you take nap now baby." "otay, but not long nap though." I said as I gave in and fell asleep in her lap. I must have really dozed off because suddenly Emily shook me to wake me up. "Um Tiffany, I think you just went potty in your diaper." Emily said as she pointed to my apparently wet diaper. "ut oh, I hope my mommy doesn't get mad at me." "Oh it's ok, I'm sure your mom wont care, I mean you wet them at night and she changes you, so what's the big deal. I mean you are playing baby, so why not wet it." Laura said while smiling at me. "Yeah I guess you are right." "Well lets go see if my mommy will change me.' I got up and waddled out of the room down the hall in my crinkly thick soaking wet diaper. "Mommy..." I said shyly. "Yes honey?" "Um... well..." She looked at me and then noticed that I had wet in my diapers. "Oh dear, you peed your diaper. Why did you wet it honey?" "Um, well, because I was being a baby, and well I fell asleep because I was taking a nap, and Emily woke me up and told me I was wet." "Well in that case since you all are playing baby, go get one of your diapers and let Emily & Laura change it for you." mom said teasingly. I nodded and then waddled back into my room, crinkling all the way down the hall. "So what did she say?" Emily asked. "She said that since we were playing house, that one of you has to change my diaper" I blushed. "Ewww yuck!", Laura said, "I'm not changing that thing." I started to cry. "I need my diaper changed, its all wet. Please help me?" I cried. "Oh ok you big baby, lay down and I'll do it.", Emily said. I lay on the floor and Emily changed me out of my wet diaper and into another dry one. Laura just looked at her. "Maybe we shouldn't play baby any more. What if she wets this one too?" "Well then we just will have to quit playing and put her back in big girl panties", Emily replied. I just laid on the floor on my back with my diaper on but waiting for Emily to pull up my rubber pants and tuck my diaper in. Finally she did and we resumed playing. This time I stayed dry. Laura & Emily went home and I stayed in my room and played with some toys. Mom called me to dinner. I was still in my diaper, but hadn't gone potty in it since that last time when I was changed. I waddled out to the dinner table. By this time Tammy was just pulling in the driveway. She always got home right before dinner because of cheer leading practice. Dad usually picked her up on the way home from work. As I was helping my mom set the table both dad and Tammy came in. "Tiffany honey, what are you doing in your diapers?" dad asked. I looked at him and blushed, "Um, me and my friends were playing house and I was the baby, I... I forgot I was still wearing them." "Aww you look so cute!" Tammy said as she walked back to her room to change. As we all sat down for dinner I was halfway through eating when I had to go number 2. "Um mommy", I said quietly. "Yes baby?" "Um... I gotta go poo, um can you help me, I'm still in this diaper, I don't know how to get it off.", I said in an urgent tone that made it noticeable that I really had to go. "Oh honey, we are eating now, Why don't you just go in the diaper and I will change you after dinner" She smiled at me. I started to cry a little, "But mommy, I don't wanna go poopoo in the diaper, I am only used to wetting, I don't wanna do number two." My father interrupted me and said, "Oh baby, just do it in your diapers and be quiet, you were the one who wanted to wear them in the first place. Babies go poop in their diapers, so just go, ok honey?" I began to cry and I put my head down and cried as I totally filled my diaper with a big poopy load. Then mom picked me up and carried me to the bathroom and changed me, but not into panties, but another diaper. "Mommy, why another diaper?" "Because, I can tell you like being babied, and I also saw what you wrote in your diary about how you want to be a baby. I know I shouldn't have read it, but you left it out and I happened to notice it when I was cleaning the other day. Honey, we don't mind if you want to be a baby. Its ok." I stopped crying. My mom hugged me and patted my diaper bottom. "But honey, you will have to wear them all the time. You will wear them to school, at home, or wherever you go. You cannot use the potty anymore since your a baby... ok?" I nodded and agreed to it. As we came back out to the dinner table everyone smiled. Apparently mom and dad had talked about this earlier and while I was being changed, Dad talked to Tammy about it. We had desert and then mom asked Tammy if she would go give me a bath since I'm a baby now. I was sort of shy about all this, but I knew it was what I had always wanted. I wondered what other kids would say, but I just knew this was worth it. I was not going to fight this. "Come on you big baby, lets get you cleaned up." Tammy said as she motioned for me to come over to her and fallow her to the bathroom. She bathed me and let me splash in the water for a little bit and play with my old rubber ducky I had when I was a little girl. She got me out of the tub and dried me off. She diapered me and then took me out the living room. We watched cartoons on TV. Then Mom said it was time for me to go to bed since I am a baby I need my sleep. I didn't mind, because I was already tired. It had been a very busy day. As my mother tucked me in she smiled at me and said, "Honey I know that you have wanted this for a long time, and well, I have to admit, so have I. I mean, I just want you to stay my little baby girl forever honey." She kissed me goodnight and dad came in shortly after and kissed me good night and said "Nite nite little baby, sleep well and sweet dreams." I started to drift off to sleep when Tammy came in and whispered, "Hey, Tiffy?" "Yes Tammy?" "I think you really make a cute baby and I love you and I want you to know that if anyone picks on you at school, I will beat them up for you. Now go to sleep and I'll see you in the morning ok?" I smiled as she left the room and closed the door. I once again drifted off to sleep.

    Slashdot:
    If anarchy, energy and genre-bending are to be rewarded at this year's Webby's then Slashdot will be the winner of Print & Zines hands-down. It is certainly one of the more difficult sites to describe.

    "We're a lot of things: Journalism, Community, Weblog, Party, Panel," co-founder Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda tried to explain, via email. "But we're not any of these things."

    What they are is a well-designed, aggressively interactive free-for-all moderated by a dozen or so early twenties self-described "Nerds," working from their corporate condo in Holland, Michigan. A typical day goes something like this: Readers send in around 500 submissions, usually amounting to a single heavily linked paragraph or two describing some new article or nugget of info plucked from the Internet. Of these, around 15 or so get posted (basically, whoever's first on a topic deemed interesting), and then the real fun begins, as readers send in approximately 3,000 reactions, arguments and counterpunches, ranging from geeky bull sessions about music, to hyper-sophisticated technical discussions about things most people couldn't possibly understand.

    Technology reporters have learned to lurk in the corridors, sniffing for technical and societal topics that otherwise bubble up to the surface months later, or just hyping their own work. One of the earliest enthusiasts of the Slashdot culture and site was longtime New Media guy Jon Katz, who writes frequent columns, and is routinely savaged by Slashdot's highly skeptical readership.

    Submissions are screened, scored and unpaid; meanwhile Slashdot's owners sold their company to Linux megasite Andover.net last year for $1.5 million in cash and $7 million in Andover stock at the IPO price.

    "There is a group of people who think I'm hypocritical for being successful and running something perceived as 'alternative,' but the reality was that because of the scale of Slashdot, it either had to make some money, or else it would have died," said Malda, who turns 24 May 10. "You can't serve a million pages a day off Geocities, ya know? We all work long days making sure Slashdot happens each and every day. If we had to have day jobs, they wouldn't have Slashdot."

    by Anonymous Coward on Sunday July 14, @03:43AM (#3880635) For years now, the common American penis bird has been a staple of every American's daily diet. Whether it be penis bird sandwiches, fried penis bird, or perhaps penis bird under glass (for the rich), we all have penis bird at least once a day. Many Americans have no clue how the penis bird became so important in the pyramid of a balanced diet, so in this article I will attempt to explain its history and why it is so useful.

    In the early 1870s, Francis Zefran became the first penis bird breeder in North America. He started his famous Penis Bird Ranch in Canton, OH. At the time, not much was known of the penis bird's nutritional value, but the Penis Bird Ranch changed all of that. Not only did Francis Zefran raise penis birds to sell their colorful plumes (a VERY lucrative business), he also set up the world's first research lab dedicated solely to the study of the penis bird.
    The lab found many interesting things. First, it was discovered that thepenis bird was actually semi-sentient. Second, the scientists found that the meat of the penis bird was high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, and calcium, while low in fat, cholestorol, and sodium. Never before had such a nutritious meal been had without supplement or fortification. The scientists of the lab recommended immediately that the penis bird become a part of every American's daily diet.

    When the news of the penis bird's usefulness reached president Rutherford B. Hayes, he was absolutely ecstatic. You see, President Hayes owed a number of favors to Francis Zefran because as I said earlier, the penis bird plume trade was an extremely lucrative business and Mr. Zefran was important in getting RBH elected through a number of monetary gifts. President Hayes immediately asked Congress to pass what we all know today as the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act.

    The act did a number of things to make the penis bird a daily meal, most important of which was the requirement that for every four people in a household, one penis bird must consumed every day. Another thing the act did was create an artificial monopoly for Francis Zefran's Penis Bird Industries. The act stated that the only supplier of penis bird meat in the US would be PBI. As one would imagine, this quickly made Francis Zefran into the richest man in the world. He was soon a multi-billionaire (quadrillionaire with today's inflation). Never before had a single man seen such wealth.

    Many challenges were made to the Hayes/Zefran Penis Bird Consumption Act, and several even made it the Supreme Court. It was argued that the act was unconstitutional and went against liberty itself, but once the detractors tasted delicious penis bird meat for the first time, they immediately dropped their cases and followed the law to the letter. We all know today that penis bird is the most delicious meat man has ever known, but at that time, the only meats people ate were pork and beef.

    In the early 1970s, though, challenges to the act began again. Many argued that the monopoly given to Penis Bird Industries by the act was in all ways unamerican. The Supreme Court finally agreed, and in 1974, Section II of the act was struck down. This in effect opened the market to competition for all.

    Today, Penis Bird Industries is almost no more. Today we have the market leader Penis Bird Meat International facing against Penissoft, a recent startup. Where will the future lead the penis bird market? Only time will tell us, but one thing is certain: penis birds are here to stay!

    1. Introduction
    As everyone knows, Open Source software is the wave of the future. With the market share of GNU/Linux and *BSD increasing every day, interest in Open Source Software is at an all time high.

    Developing software within the Open Source model benefits everyone. People can take your code, improve it and then release it back to the community. This cycle continues and leads to the creation of far more stable software than the 'Closed Source' shops can ever hope to create.

    So you're itching to create that Doom 3 killer but don't know where to start? Read on!

    [] [ ]

    2. First Steps
    The most important thing that any Open Source project needs is a Sourceforge page. There are tens of thousands of successful Open Source projects on Sourceforge; the support you receive here will be invaluable.

    OK, so you've registered your Sourceforge project and set the status to '0: Pre-Thinking About It', what's next?

    3. Don't Waste Time!
    Now you need to set up your SourceForge homepage. Keep it plain and simple - don't use too many HTML tags, just knock something up in VI. Website editors like FrontPage and DreamWeaver just create bloated eye-candy - you need to get your message to the masses!

    4. Ask For Help
    Since you probably can't program at all you'll need to try and find some people who think they can. If your project is a game you'll probably need an artist too. Ask for help on your new Sourceforge pages. Here is an example to get you started:

    "Hi there! Welcom to my SorceForge page! I am planing to create a Fisrt Person Shooter game for Linux that is going to kick Doom 3's ass! I have loads of awesome ideas, like giant robotic spiders! I need some help thouh as I cant program or draw. If you can program or draw the tekstures please get in touch! K thx bye!"

    Thousands of talented programmers and artists hang out at Sourceforge ready to devote their time to projects so you should get a team together in no time!

    5. The A-Team
    So now you have your team together you are ready to change your projects status to '1: Pre-Bickering'. You will need to discuss your ideas with your team mates and see what value they can add to the project. You could use an Instant Messaging program like MSN for this, but since you run Linux you'll have to stick to e-mail.

    Don't forget that YOU are in charge! If your team doesn't like the idea of giant robotic spiders just delete them from the project and move on. Someone else can fill their place and this is the beauty of Open Source development. The code might end up a bit messy and the graphics inconsistant - but it's still 'Free as in Speech'!

    6. Getting Down To It
    Now that you've found a team of right thinking people you're ready to start development. Be prepared for some delays though. Programming is a craft and can take years to learn. Your programmer may be a bit rusty but will probably be writing "hello world" programs after school in no time.

    Closed Source games like Doom 3 use the graphics card to do all the hard stuff anyhow, so your programmer will just have to get the NVidia 'API' and it will be plain sailing! Giant robot spiders, here we come!

    7. The Outcome
    So it's been a few years, you still have no files released or in CVS. Your programmer can't get enough time on the PC because his mother won't let him use it after 8pm. Your artist has run off with a Thai She-Male. Your project is still at '1: Pre-Bickering'...

    Congratulations! You now have a successful Open Source project on Sourceforge! Pat yourself on the back, think up another idea and do it all again! See how simple it is?

      It's largely because 'America is the best country in the world'. And Americans know this because their government told them so and the gullible fools actually believe it(!) IMO space is not something that America excels at, although they mostly cover it up by spending obscene amounts of money. I mean, any dog can be made to fly if you throw enough money at it- check out the Space Shuttle! It's a reusable space vehicle that was designed to cost less than an expendable vehicle- but it turns out, it didn't, by a long, long, long way; but they continue to run it! OTOH the Russians built a similar vehicle, launched once, then immediately ditched it, because they found it cost too much. Fair enough, you might argue they should have figured that out before they built it, but you only really know that when you've done it. NASA seems to have entirely missed this point.
