Slashdot Mirror
Top Ten Physics Experiments Of All Times
MarkedMan writes "The New York Times is running an article about the top ten physics experiments of all time. You may disagree with the order, but it is hard to imagine pulling any one of these from the top ten. And most of them could be done by a patient amateur, at least one with access to cannonballs." The Times article wraps up the work by Robert P. Crease mentioned a few weeks ago.
Wouldn't it be "of all time"?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Remember when Taco and Cowboy were "expirementing" sexually? Here are some pics of their adventures. OUCH SAYS TACO
Speaking of getting buttered up and being toasted!!!
So I came home from work the other day to discover my cat mittens laying on the floor. His breathing was very shallow and his eyes were very glassy. When I approached him I noticed a belt tied around his arm and both a syringe and a bent spoon laying beside him. Despite all his promises to the contrary, my beloved Mittens has started shooting up smack again!
Fortunately the paramedics showed up quickly and gave him some naloxone which saved him. Unfortunately the problem of my cat being addicted to heroin still remains. Last week he sold my stereo and this weekend Mittens offered to perform oral sex on me in exchange for a hit.
I love my cat and want to see him off this horrible drug. Unfortunately he won't stop on his own! Mittens says he can quit anytime he wants to and becomes combative when I force the issue. I'm tired of seeing him throw his life away. He could've been a great mouser, one of the best before he got hooked.
Can anyone recommend a way to get my cat off heroin? It would be much appreciated.
Also, this must be said; I dont want to fuck my poor cat mittens. I love him dearly. IF he offered oral sex as a hit, and I would never compromise the sanctity and trust of our brotherly (non gay, non sexual) relationship! I thank youall for your genuine concern for the safety of my genitals with regard to animal contact with sandpapery cat tongues, I assure your that fornicating with animals is not on the repitoire!
Please, if you know how to help poor mittens get off the smack, please, for the love of god help. Its mittens darkest time, and I dont want this to turn out like that beefy rugby guy who died on junk in Trainspotting. I dont want me or mittens to swim in toilets either. Please, help!!

The *ber Slashdot Nazi Creed
Nazism was Tacoism, or the beliefs of Rob Malda. He poured these ideas into Mein Fuckumpf. The book was first named A Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice. Actually, he dictated the ideas while other Slashdot prisoners, mostly school dropouts themselves, did the actual writing for him because he was such a poor speller. After correcting the title (My Struggle) the book was placed on the market in 1999. It sold very poorly and was considered the work of a madman. After he came to power every Slasdotter made sure that a copy was displayed prominently in their home; displayed yes! Read No! He had given the world public notice, a full warning of his evil intentions. But nobody paid much attention. Here is short summary.
1. Men are not created equal. As the most superior race on earth, The Editors are true creators of culture. Since only they are capable of solving mankind's future problems, the future of civilization depends on them. Therefore, Aryan blood must be kept pure, or these superior qualities will be lost. Marriages to inferior races are forbidden. The Editors must create a pure Master Race to rule the world.
2. Posters on Slashdot, the most inferior race, are the true destroyers of culture. They have deliberately invaded and drained all countries of the world of money and power. Therefore, the future of world power rests on either the rightful Editor as masters of the Posters. The Editors must save the world by ridding it of this Poster poison.
3. Slavs, blacks and Mediterranean peoples rank only slightly above Posters. They are fit to live only as slaves of the Editors.
4. The Editor Master race will take as much land to the east as it needs for Lebensraum, or extra living space. Political boundaries are nonsense. If others resist, The Editors will use its arms and take land by force.
5. Democracy and majority rule are stupid. The masses are ignorant sheep that need leading by a brilliant statesman. This divinely appointed leader is Rob Malda, who will rule the world with a few chosen elite. The Third Reich, or new Slashdot empire, will last a thousand years. It will be a Slashdot totalitarian state with total control of government and the lives of all citizens.
6. Propaganda, or a system to spread political ideas, must be used to gain support of the ignorant masses. Since the people are dull and forgetful, propaganda must be limited to only a few points and repeated over and over again in important slogans, It is not important that these ideas be true, for people are willing to believe anything. In fact, the bigger the lies, the better.
7. Force and fear are the only means to keep the masses under control. Reason and argument have no place in the Third Reich.
8. Give the people a single enemy to hate and to blame for all their troubles - THE INSIGHTFUL and THE INTELLIGENT. Then they will not feel guilty and will aim all their frustrations in one direction. Blame the insightful and the intelligent for everything evil.
9. Thou shalt have no other God but Slashdot! (Malda even proposes this to be the eleventh commandment.) First posting is just a scheme created by Posters. Poster love, mercy, and charity must be replaced.
Now, because most of the editors are fat, stupid and lazy, they will have to kill themselves to live up to this creed. Also, notice they, the Editors like the idea of non equality. They leverage the mobocracy while levying an iron fist on the community.
