    Slashdot is an evil corporate monster determined to prevent people from realizing the wonderful things that freedom has to offer. While pretending to care under such guises as "Your Rights Online" (YRO) Slashdot is in reality a loosely knit organization dominated by extremists of all sorts. For instance, Slashdot contributors have been known to be sympathetic to the following: Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda and other anti-American terror organizations; the Columbine killers (archetypical Fifth Columnist types); proponents of the Balkanization of America (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, et al); among other unsavory groups/individuals. Furthermore, Slashdot spreads FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) about the United States' rightful place as the world's overlord. As a result of this, I'm asking all thoes appalled at these acts of treachery to join in the fight to crapflood Slashdot into obvlion. I thank you for your time spent reading this and trust you as the reader to make the corect decision.

  5. Taco-snotting is dying by poopbot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Netcraft has confirmed: Taco-snotting is dying.

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Taco-snotting community when recently IDC confirmed that Taco-snotting accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all homosexual acts. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Taco-snotting has lost more fag practitioners, this news serves to reinforce what weve known all along. Taco-snotting faggots are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Faggot World comprehensive snotting test.

    You dont need to be a Katz to predict Taco-snottings future. The handwriting is on the wall: Taco-snotting faces a bleak future. In fact there wont be any future at all for Taco-snotting because Taco-snotting is dying. Things are looking very bad for Taco-snotting. As many of us are already aware, Taco-snotting continues to lose faggotshare. White ink flows like a river of bubbly, thick jizz. The circle-snot is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core snotters.

    Lets keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Circle-snotting leader Jeff Homos Masterbates states that there are 7000 snotters of the circle-snot. How many users of anal snot are there? Lets see. The number of circle-snotting versus anal snot posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 anal snot users. SnotOS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of anal snot posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of SnotOS. A recent article put the circle-snot at about 80 percent of the Taco-snotting market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 circle-snot users. This is consistent with the number of circle-snot Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of CowboiKneels walnuts, abysmal sales and so on, the circle-snot went out of business and was taken over by SNOTi who sell another troubled Taco-snot. Now SNOTi is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another gay whorehouse.

    All major surveys show that Taco-snotting has steadily declined in faggotshare. Taco-snotting is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Taco-snotting is to survive at all it will be among heterosexual hobbyist dabblers. Taco-snotting continues to decay. Nothing short of a jizz-soaked miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Taco-snotting is dead.

    Fact: Taco-snotting is dead.

    it DESERVED to be modded down. The guy contributed nothing to the discussion and only whined about how much he didn't enjoy using something someone else gave him for free. Then he suggested the coders should just give up and write something he found to be of use rather than what they enjoyed writing. Gee, that's a way to make friends and influence coders...

    No one is forcing you to play freeciv. You don't even have to waste your time either playing the game or writing worthless comments about how much the game sucks. So, what's your problem?

      Um, no, he criticized lack of innovation, and implied that efforts might be better spent on actually doing something new.

    This was also headline news on the tv in countries like IRAQ, SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN and other terrorist hosting countries. Each country released its own version to allow them many hours of ruling the world.

    In the real world, this game didnt as much make it past slashdots headline news. While more important stories end up on real news websites like news.com (which slashdot mirrors often).
