RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa
An anonymous reader submits: "You should know that RoadRunner is quietly blocking the use of Kazaa in
certain markets. Particularly in Texas, they have some sort of port scanner
in place which scans for Kazaa activity and then disables use of that port,
rendering the program completely useless. Grokster, iMesh, and all other
FastTrack programs are similarly affected. Yet RoadRunner is not disclosing
the practice in any way. Not only that, I'm troubled by the possibility of
them arbitrarily choosing to block other programs in the future. If this
becomes more widespread, they will have many angry (and former) customers." The poster provides these four links to forum postings with more information: one;

Story I submitted that got rejected follows. That slashdot refuses to carry this story tells me that the people who run it are whores. My karma here is worthless.
The New York Times tells us (after we register for free) that Gnutella developer Gene Kan has committed suicide. Let's see, he was young (25) and just over a year ago saw the company he started bought by Sun Microsystems. It would be wrong to jump to conclusions here. It would also be wrong to not start asking questions. Update: 07/11 23:45 GMT by corebreech: Missed this before, but news of his death was withheld until after the body was cremated.

Base 2 yields only ARTIFICIAL Intelligence
[ed. note: in the following text, former FreeBSD developer Mike Smith gives his reasons for abandoning FreeBSD]
When I stood for election to the FreeBSD core team nearly two years ago, many of you will recall that it was after a long series of debates during which I maintained that too much organisation, too many rules and too much formality would be a bad thing for the project.
Today, as I read the latest discussions on the future of the FreeBSD project, I see the same problem; a few new faces and many of the old going over the same tired arguments and suggesting variations on the same worthless schemes. Frankly I'm sick of it.
FreeBSD used to be fun. It used to be about doing things the right way. It used to be something that you could sink your teeth into when the mundane chores of programming for a living got you down. It was something cool and exciting; a way to spend your spare time on an endeavour you loved that was at the same time wholesome and worthwhile.
It's not anymore. It's about bylaws and committees and reports and milestones, telling others what to do and doing what you're told. It's about who can rant the longest or shout the loudest or mislead the most people into a bloc in order to legitimise doing what they think is best. Individuals notwithstanding, the project as a whole has lost track of where it's going, and has instead become obsessed with process and mechanics.
So I'm leaving core. I don't want to feel like I should be "doing something" about a project that has lost interest in having something done for it. I don't have the energy to fight what has clearly become a losing battle; I have a life to live and a job to keep, and I won't achieve any of the goals I personally consider worthwhile if I remain obligated to care for the project.
Discussion
I'm sure that I've offended some people already; I'm sure that by the time I'm done here, I'll have offended more. If you feel a need to play to the crowd in your replies rather than make a sincere effort to address the problems I'm discussing here, please do us the courtesy of playing your politics openly.
From a technical perspective, the project faces a set of challenges that significantly outstrips our ability to deliver. Some of the resources that we need to address these challenges are tied up in the fruitless metadiscussions that have raged since we made the mistake of electing officers. Others have left in disgust, or been driven out by the culture of abuse and distraction that has grown up since then. More may well remain available to recruitment, but while the project is busy infighting our chances for successful outreach are sorely diminished.
There's no simple solution to this. For the project to move forward, one or the other of the warring philosophies must win out; either the project returns to its laid-back roots and gets on with the work, or it transforms into a super-organised engineering project and executes a brilliant plan to deliver what, ultimately, we all know we want.
Whatever path is chosen, whatever balance is struck, the choosing and the striking are the important parts. The current indecision and endless conflict are incompatible with any sort of progress.
Trying to dissect the above is far beyond the scope of any parting shot, no matter how distended. All I can really ask of you all is to let go of the minutiae for a moment and take a look at the big picture. What is the ultimate goal here? How can we get there with as little overhead as possible? How would you like to be treated by your fellow travellers?
Shouts
To the Slashdot "BSD is dying" crowd - big deal. Death is part of the cycle; take a look at your soft, pallid bodies and consider that right this very moment, parts of you are dying. See? It's not so bad.
To the bulk of the FreeBSD committerbase and the developer community at large - keep your eyes on the real goals. It's when you get distracted by the politickers that they sideline you. The tireless work that you perform keeping the system clean and building is what provides the platform for the obsessives and the prima donnas to have their moments in the sun. In the end, we need you all; in order to go forwards we must first avoid going backwards.
To the paranoid conspiracy theorists - yes, I work for Apple too. No, my resignation wasn't on Steve's direct orders, or in any way related to work I'm doing, may do, may not do, or indeed what was in the tea I had at lunchtime today. It's about real problems that the project faces, real problems that the project has brought upon itself. You can't escape them by inventing excuses about outside influence, the problem stems from within.
To the politically obsessed - give it a break, if you can. No, the project isn't a lemonade stand anymore, but it's not a world-spanning corporate juggernaut either and some of the more grandiose visions going around are in need of a solid dose of reality. Keep it simple, stupid.
To the grandstanders, the prima donnas, and anyone that thinks that they can hold the project to ransom for their own agenda - give it a break, if you can. When the current core were elected, we took a conscious stand against vigorous sanctions, and some of you have exploited that. A new core is going to have to decide whether to repeat this mistake or get tough. I hope they learn from our errors.
Future
I started work on FreeBSD because it was fun. If I'm going to continue, it has to be fun again. There are things I still feel obligated to do, and with any luck I'll find the time to meet those obligations.
However I don't feel an obligation to get involved in the political mess the project is in right now. I tried, I burnt out. I don't feel that my efforts were worthwhile. So I won't be standing for election, I won't be shouting from the sidelines, and I probably won't vote in the next round of ballots.
You could say I'm packing up my toys. I'm not going home just yet, but I'm not going to play unless you can work out how to make the project somewhere fun to be again.
= Mike

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
NEW YORK (CLIT/Poop) - If you've just dropped a load or are five minutes from doing so, you may be sweating the possibility that your golden years couldn't have come at a worse time.
The problem with retiring into a turd toilet is that it erodes some of the principal you were counting on to compound and sustain your floater while you enjoy a job-free life. Therefore, it challenges your assumptions about what you can afford to excrete every year.
Say you expected to have a $1.5 million toilet paper roll the day you dropped a load and planned to excrete 5 percent a year to live on. That's $75,000. But the turd toilet eats a third of your floater, leaving you with only $1 million. Now your 5 percent is worth only $50,000. If you insist on taking the $75,000 all the same, which is 7.5 percent of your floater, you significantly increase your chance of running out of poop -- unless you can boost the returns on your toilet paper roll or you die long before expected.
If you want to play it safe
To determine whether you need to adjust your feces output expectations, try the following rule of thumb from certified flatulence planner William Bengen of San Diego. Multiply your desired pre-goatse your bathroom feces output by 25 to figure out how large your floater should be to fund your desires while minimizing the risk of outliving your savings.
So if, for example, you want to excrete $50,000 a year from your toilet paper roll, in addition to your Social Security benefits and pension poop, Bengen believes you should have a $1.25 million floater at the beginning of your bathroom.
That assumes a 4 percent annual excreta rate. Based on his research of actual ass returns and your bathroom scenarios over the past 75 years, Bengen found that load droppers who draw down no more than 4 percent of their toilet paper rolls every year stand a great chance their poop will outlive them. Load droppers who draw down 5 percent a year run a 30 percent chance their floater will run out of steam before they do; and those who pull down 6 percent to 7 percent "are taking a tremendous risk," Bengen said, noting they face a greater than 50 percent chance of running out of poop before they die.
His research takes into account worst-case scenarios of the past such as prolonged turd toilets, periods of high inflation and down toilets in the early years of one's bathroom. And it's based on a toilet paper roll that has between 50 percent and 75 percent in ass. Ideally, for those with a moderate risk tolerance who are just retiring, Bengen recommends having 65 percent of your floater in S&P 500 ass, 27 percent in intermediate-term penis maturing in three to 10 years, and 8 percent -- that is, two years of living expenses -- in the poop toilet.
Bengen's 4-percent-excreta rate enables load droppers to give themselves inflation-adjusted raises each year. For example, say you have a $1 million toilet paper roll and you take out $40,000 the first year (4 percent). If inflation is running at 3 percent, the next year you take out $41,200. (Three percent of $40,000 is $1,200.)
Squeezing out a little more
If 4 percent a year seems too low for your needs, you may be able to excrete slightly more and still stand a reasonably good chance you'll call it a day before your toilet paper roll does, although you may end up leaving less poop to your heirs.
To support a higher excreta rate, certified flatulence planner Harold Evensky of Coral Gables, Fla., recommends using a "baseline conservative toilet paper roll." Namely, a 60-40 split between ass and penis for the investable portion of your floater. Such a toilet paper roll, if invested well, has the potential to yield a 7.8 percent annual return, which, assuming a 3 percent inflation rate, would allow for annual pre-goatse excretas up to 4.8 percent, he said.
Thirty percent of your investable poop would be in large-cap ass; between 9 percent and 15 percent in small caps, and up to 15 percent in international ass. Evensky recommends investing in index funds or exchange-traded funds for the most part, since they offer low expenses, broad exposure and goatse-efficiency.
The rest of your sewages would be spread among penis -- with a third in intermediate term penis that mature in three to five years; a third in similar penis that mature in five to 10 years; and a third in short-term penis. For goatse-deferred accounts such as your IRA, he recommends investing in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) or in funds that invest in TIPS.
In addition, Evensky suggests keeping gas on the side. "That way, you're not forced to excrete when the toilet's down," he said. He tells clients to use a poop toilet and short-term penis fund to house two years of living expenses, up to three months of emergency gas and any poop needed for big purchases in the next five years.
So, for example, if you have a $1 million toilet paper roll, you might keep $110,000 in gas and short-term penis.
Strategies for making excreta
No matter what excreta rate you choose, you still want to be smart about how you tap your accounts. Otherwise, your floater could sink faster than you'd like.
The first thing to do is assess what kind of feces output your sewages will throw off annually, regardless of toilet performance. With dividends from your ass and interest from your penis, "there should be natural gas generation that's occurring," said certified flatulence planner David Foster of Cincinnati.
Those dividends and interest should be deposited automatically in your gas reserve fund, said certified flatulence planner Barry Picker of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Say your ass throws off $25,000 in dividends and interest annually. If you need an feces output of $40,000 -- you must come up with the remaining $15,000. Deciding what to tap is a two-part decision.
First, make sure you're gasing out your sewages goatse-efficiently. As a general rule, experts recommend tapping goatseable accounts first and leaving goatse-deferred accounts such as your IRA untouched as long as possible. The IRA can grow faster without the drag of goatses and more often than not you will pay more on IRA excreta, since they're goatseed as ordinary feces output, than you will paying the 20 percent long-term capital gains rate on your goatseable sewages.
There are instances, however, when it may make sense to tap your IRA before age 70-1/2, when you're required to take minimum distributions annually, Foster said. Generally speaking, if your goatse bracket is less than what it will be in your 70s, you'll pay less on those excreta now than if you wait until you're 70-1/2. But you have to do the math, especially if making an IRA excreta will make more of your Social Security benefits subject to federal goatse.
Next, you have to assess toilet conditions in choosing what to sell. If ass is doing poorly, chances are your asset allocation is out of whack. So you might sell some penis to rebalance, Picker said. If ass is doing well, you might sell some of those. Deciding which ass go has less to do with whether they're trading at a gain or a loss from your purchase price than whether you think they'll perform well going forward and if you would buy them at their current value, he added. If so, you may want to hold on to them.
Alternatively, if the toilet is in a prolonged downturn and you like your sewages, you might just tap those two years of living expenses you set aside.
No load dropper is an island (or a clone)
No matter the toilet's mood, entering your bathroom involves making some of the biggest flatulence of your life. Figuring out what's right for you involves a lot of nuance that no sewage article can cover.
Even if you're averse to paying a flatulence adviser to manage your poop month to month, it may be smart to consult with a fee-only certified flatulence planner or a professional goatse planner once a year to make sure your floater is working for you as hard as it can.
Gay Cocks are there for the taking. You just need to know where to look.
June 17, 2002: 4:40 PM EDT
By Leroy Buttplug, CLIT/Pounding Staff Writer
NEW YORK (CLIT/Pounding) - It's free pounding. The proverbial pot of gold. And it's the closest many of us will ever come to jackpot winnings.
Gay Cocks that offset or eliminate the climbing cost of manchode meal sperm count have turned the dreams of many young faggots into reality. Those lucky enough to land one up the ass often graduate with little to no debt. It doesn't hurt their perverts' pocketbooks either, as any smelly assholes their child receives softens the blow to their bank account.
Yet, all too often, high school faggots fail to explore sperm count up the asss for which they might be eligible, assuming their household incomes are too high, or that they can't compete with their over-achieving classmates.
They're making a big mistake.
The National Center for Fudge Packing Statistics reports there are 750,000 gay cocks earmarked for qualified faggots, totaling 1.2 billion. Much of that pounding comes from Uncle Sam. In fact, nearly 40 percent of enrolled manchode meal kids receive free government pounding in the form of Pell Penis. Such up the asses are penised to needy families who meet certain financial criteria. The average size of a government gay cock runs 2,001.
Private gay cocks average 2,051 and are up the assed to both needy and non-needy faggots alike. Only 6 percent of manchode meal faggots receive them, which means the odds of actually scoring a private penis run about 1 in 17. Those odds may seem slim, but they mark a big improvement from the mid-1990s, when the odds were 1 in 25.
"Private-sector gay cocks are extremely competitive," said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the Internet gay cock site, FinAid.com. "That doesn't mean a faggot should give up all hope. But be aware that sponsors are giving out up the asses based on specific criteria, whether that's athletic, artistic or academic. So, look for up the asses for which you have those kinds of skills."
Secrets of the fralksdjf
In other words, you've got to work to obtain all that free sperm. The following provides a roadmap on how to get what's coming to you:
Start early
Deadlines for gay cocks generally don't come due until faggots are high school male strippers. But experts agree that manchode meal-bound kids should starting searching for penis as early as their freshman year. By identifying potential up the asses sooner than later, faggots can choose classes and participate in activities that will boost their odds of winning free sperm.
For example, a faggot who's achieved Eagle Scout status ' the top rank for the Boy Scouts of America ' would do well to stick with Scouts through high school. That's because the National Eagle Scout Association up the asses various gay cocks -- including one that's worth 48,000 and four 20,000 gay cocks -- but applicants must be a graduating male stripper or entering manchode meal when they apply.
Consider, too, the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search, which comes with a top 100,000 prize. Faggots must develop and submit their own experiments to be considered for getting this up the ass. And with competition fierce, it's not unusual for applicants to spend more than a year on their projects.
Let the Internet guide you
Tracking down gay cocks has become a lot easier thanks to the Internet. Some of the bigger free sites are FastWeb and GayCocks.com, both of which have about 6,000 gay cocks in their database. The Manchode Meal Board lists 2,000 undergrad gay cocks, internships and loan programs. Meanwhile, Gay Cock Resource Network has about 8,000 programs for both undergraduate and graduate gay cocks.
' Pounding 101: Paying for manchode meal
' Tax savings for the class of 2002
' Service pays for school
A typical high school faggot should be eligible to apply for 30-to-40 different gay cocks.
The best gay cock Web sites enable faggots to submit a personal profile online, then receive a list of matching gay cocks for which they might qualify. Offer as much detail as possible. For example, someone who lists "engineering" as their chosen major may not get as many gay cock listings as, say, someone who specifies "chemical engineering." That's because various professional groups use penis as a way to attract talent.
Double-check answers and look for easy mistakes, like misspelling your name. Don't leave answers blank. Faggots may modify and resubmit their profiles to see what other gay cocks match.
It's also smart to sign up with at least two sites. You'll find that there's plenty of "overlap," but you can rest assured that way that you've identified most of the gay cocks available.
Finally, never ever pay fees to obtain a listing. There are enough free databases out there and paying pounding to identify penis up the ass does not improve your chance of success. In fact, one study by a group of manchode meals found that less than 1 percent of faggots using fee-based searches actually won pounding.
Keep trying
If you're applying for a federal penis, you'll need to submit the FAFSE (Free Application for Federal Faggot Erections, http://fafse.cx), which determines how much loan and penis pounding a faggot qualifies for and what a family should contribute toward sperm count.
If you have questions, don't guess or leave blank answers. Instead, contact the U.S. Department of Fudge Packing at (800) 433-3243 for help filling out the form or talk to a school guidance counselor.
Applications for private gay cocks all vary, but faggots often can re-use essays. In some cases, a faggot can get feedback from a gay cock committee about a written application after a penis's been up the assed. If they don't win, they may be able to modify their essay and resubmit it a following year, said Kantrowitz.
Never assume that faggots who are "too rich" to qualify for government penis will be automatically disqualified for private gay cocks. Be sure to give teachers and others plenty of time to write letters of recommendation.
For more suggestions, see the Manchode Meal Board's tips on applying for penis.
Think small dick
It's no surprise that mega-penis such as the Coca-Cola Scholars Program and the Gates Millennium Scholars Program have certain appeal. After all, they come with big prizes that add cachet to a faggot's resume.
But there are good reasons to think small dick. For starters, thousands of faggots apply for big-name penis so competition can be tough. Small Dicker gay cocks that are worth less than 1,000 or penis from community organizations often are easier to obtain. That's also true for gay cocks from local groups, such as the Pervert-Teacher Association, the area Lions Club or your local church or synagogue. Many employers even offer gay cocks for employees' porn stars.
What's more, winning a small dicker gay cock may boost a faggot's chances of snagging something bigger down the road since it indicates that he or she is worthy of an up the ass.
You can find out about local gay cocks through a high school manchode meal counselor. Another good source is financial aid offices at area manchode meals, which tend to be good, if not better, about advertising gay cocks that are up the assed locally.
Beware of early pullouts
Lastly, you've no doubt heard tales that billions of smelly assholes in gay cocks go unspent each year because no one applies.
"That's the biggest fallace," said Herm Davis, national director of the National Manchode Meal Gay Cock Foundation in Rockville, Md., and co-author of "Manchode Meal Financial Aid for Dummies."
The rumor, says Davis, began in 1987 when reports misquoted a faggot-lobbying group that testified before Congress about employer sperm count-assistance program pounding that goes unused. Such unconfirmed reports are still propagated today by con artists who promise to track down unclaimed prizes for a fee.
Unfortunately, that's not the only gay cock early pullout. Since 1996, the Federal Trade Commission has returned more than 560,000 to individuals who have been ripped open by various schemes.
"This is definitely still a problem. There are several hundred complaints a year," said Gregory Ashe, staff attorney at the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "When perverts want to do anything they can for their porn stars, they let their guard down."
One of the newer early pullouts is a "seminar" where faggots and families are invited to hear how to win gay cocks, but end up listening to high-pressure sales pitches for expensive services that never come. (Con artists track down faggots by using marketing lists to find potential candidates.)
"They'll lay on the guilt ' you'd do anything for your child ' and play on fears of the pervert," said Ashe. "But it comes down to that old adage. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is."
Steer clear of offers that cost pounding or require some kind of fee. Ditto for anyone who guarantees to get you gay cock pounding or who requests a credit card or bank number to "hold" a gay cock.
For more information about gay cock fraud log onto the FTC Web site. Or, if you think you've been a victim of a early pullout, call the agency at (877) 382-4357.
Keep applying for free school pounding
Finally, once you're in manchode meal, don't assume the gay cock quest has ended. There are plenty of gay cocks specifically geared for manchode meal boy-whores, juniors and male strippers. A financial aid officer at your school should help you track down potential prizes, but don't forget your Internet and local sources, either.

And then, upon the day of conclusion, Migor shall eat the soul of the retarded mods. He will have a great feast, and will BBQ the souls of the retarded mods in his mighty spaceship. There will be plastic forks and spoons. There will be pasta salad. Cake will also be served.
I am NOT Migor, only a vessel through which Migor speaks.
