    I don't see why this kind of thing should cause revulsion. Ants are extremely useful and interesting and they are usually harmless. If there is anything disturbing about this it's that such useful critters needed to be destroyed.

    Slashdot: News for Nerds. Stuff that matters.

    Uhh, since when did nerds prefer Apple computers? The whole idea of being a nerd is that you like seeing how stuff works. So naturally they prefer an open source system like Linux over a proprietary system from Microsoft and the just as evil but less powerful Apple.
    Personally if i was a nerd, i wouldn't call myself one after i found out i fit in the same category as those losers on the mac commercials.

    On a side note, please remember the slashdot motto. This "stuff" doesn't matter. so please don't put it on a website of which several thousands of people read every day.

    I know even though the debug seems lame thats how it all started in the end anyways. Bugs would crawl into the "supercomputer" short the vacume tubes and the tech would go searching for it.

    Bad joke, but we are going full circle lol

  4. This story is probably fake by Nos9 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    couple of things:
    1) The person states that multiple queens were in the I-Book strike number 1, the only time you have multiple queens is when they are immature larval stages, the Princess kills off her compentition, finds herself a nice young hunk of a male, gets pregnant then flies off to start her own colony.
    2) queens don't move, so they couldn't be in the machine... A queen ant is freaking huge compared to all of her subjects, it is highly unlikely that it could get into the guts of the machine itself.
    3) He dissasembled his I-Book layer by layer... um (this may be old info) but notebooks don't really come in layers.

    there were more but its late and I do not want to reload the story up, especially considering it is most likely fake.
