    A much better choice than last year.

    It amazes me how narrow-minded scifis are about what is pure and what is not.

  4. Ecstasy not dangerous, say scientists by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Three leading psychologists have provoked an outcry by claiming that the dance drug ecstasy may not be dangerous and that some of its ill-effects may be imaginary.

    The drug has been blamed for causing deaths and permanent brain damage, but the psychologists are strongly critical of animal and human studies into its effects, claiming that they are misleading and overestimate the harm ecstasy - scientifically known as MDMA - can cause.

      Just take Prozac with your MDMA, it prevents the re-uptake of MDMA as seratonin. Its not hard to find the shit. Prozac I mean.

      But even better just meditate for 2 hrs. a day. You will get eveything the MDMA gives you and more.

      Speaking universal truths can be the path of the weak minded. No truth is universal, including the truth that no truth is universal. Mileage will vary, and you my friend might be wrong.

    Why is Slashdot posting tripe like Buffy's New Season when it could be posting real news... Such as:

    2002-09-02 05:11:18 LotR: The Two Towers hits net months before release (articles,movies) (rejected)
    In what has to be one of the startling security breaches in Hollywood to date, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has hit the net FOUR MONTHS ahead of it's intended release in theaters according to the Drudge Report, though there is still some question of what was actually obtained and how. If this can be confirmed or denied, it's here on Slashdot.

    Or...

    2002-09-02 05:20:54 RIAA site hit yet again by disgruntled hackers (articles,music) (rejected)
    The RIAA has been hit for a third time in a one month's span as file-sharing fans hacked the RIAA hompage and altered it's content over the holiday weekend. Previous attacks include a DoS assault and a similar alteration. The story and alterations can be found at the MP3 Newswire.

    Sure, I'm a tiny bit chapped, but the main portion of my fustration has been replaced with the need to prove how big of hacks and chumps these editors are. Even that -1 I'll be getting doesn't make any difference. I'll tell you when my karma dips below Excellent, kay?

      Easy! Because /. isn't a news site. It is a gossip forum for nerds with the topics carefully selected by the Queen Bees... er, editors. Topics are "carefully screened" as to what is "important" (Buffy) and what isn't (RIAA getting hacked). But then you could just read CNN all day.

      Erm... As far as that first one goes, you might wanna click here.

      And not to be rude, but if you seem to hate /. so much, why do you even bother going here, let alone posting here? Do you just get a kick out of bitching about stuff like this?

    I've had the kylix 3 release story rejected and quite a few (evil) apple ones, noticed how many Apple stories there have been latly?

    It would be nice if a few hubs started blocking RIAA, and gnutella blocked all IP's in the RIAA's/MPAA's block and any block found to be 'hacking'
