Sun Security Patch Introduces Security Hole

Rich0 writes "Sun is announcing that their 'Security Hardening Package' for their Cobalt RaQ 4 Linux servers allows remote users to execute arbitrary code. Ironically, the solution is to remove the package, potentially removing protection from other compromises. There's a CERT advisory, as well as an article posted on Extremetech." Yikes, one would hope there's a forthcoming patch in the works.

      What Microsoft is saying is simply "some time ago we signed and released a piece of code. this code has bugs. don't download it. yes, it is signed but so what? don't download it anyway."

      Say I have a 3-year old PGP distribution signed by PGP Corp. It is signed. But it has known bugs (discovered long after signing). Should I install it? No. The fact that it is signed does not mean anything beyond simple fact that it was produced by particular person/corporation.

      By the way, do you know any other vendor who has been signing their software as long as MS?

      I remember Apple updates simpy downloaded unsigned code from their web server, without verifying any signature at all. So a man-in-the-middle could inject trojan.

      Linux ISO-files usually are "protected" by MD5 hash. So if you sit in the middle and can modify both ISO file and MD5 hash, you can do whatever you want with this distribution.

      This is pure FUD. You don't have to turn on "Always trust Microsoft Corp" to donwload any control. For every control you decide whether you want to download it or not. Signature only verifies that it is coming from Microsoft, nothing more. You should decide yourself whether you want particular control or not. Signature verify the origin, not content.

      Just like in Sun's situation: some fixes are broken, some are not. You decide install or not. You should know what you are installing - security vulnerability or a fix.

      Microsoft's bug was one of tragically bad design.

      Where is bad design? I am sure that if Sun signs their patches, both bad patch and a fix are signed by same key. A key per file is just stupid and does not make any sense. You don't want to turn your PKI infrastructure into file-recall infrastructure. When PGP found a bug in their software, they did not recall the public key used to sign previous builds. They simply released a fix, and singed it (probably by same key, but I can't verify this).

    internet for very long (thats the UK for you), but I can certainly see how its possible to end up actually caring about some online persona.
    Personally, I don't give a shit, but thats because I don't have an online persona that is actually me (does this post negate that? I'm not telling you ;). If someone had created a 'KTB' character on k5 before I had, I would probably have been annoyed, but only because I may want to extend the character, insofar as I have developed it, onto k5 as well. The thing is, *I* am not really on the internet much at all. It seems that Siggy is, though, from what I can tell. He seems to be really into writing those torrid diaries, and exploring rather private parts of his personality in the most public of places - such as his sexuality, as 'Going For -100 Karma' publicised on /. If he really is exposing his true self to the k5 audience, this may be why he has become so defensive about the 'Bojay Iverson' thing - I would certainly be in a panic in his situation, if I thought the online world could reach into the real world and give me a kicking. I don't think I'll ever write diaries on k5, or if I do, they won't be about me, thats for sure. It freaks me out a little how easy it is to get information about someone on the internet, and the last thing I want want is an online diary, that will never expire, being accessible to all and sundry. I don't know, I just find the idea of posting your personal thoughts for all the world to see rather strange, if not a little

    [Linux] luisa|||, you spin me twice 'round, baby.
    [county] If you made me feel weak and helplessly resentful? Haha.
    [luisa|||] well, anyone who feels like a lesser person probably is
    [luisa|||] or at least is not worth bothering with
    [em] you guys still going on about this? God.
    [county] Only a few people have made me inferior, and none of them were at all like you.
    [luisa|||] it is friday night and neither of us are out carousing, em
    [luisa|||] whatever did you expect would occur?
    [em] neither am I.
    [luisa|||] but you are at uni
    [county] em, have you been drinking?
    [em] well, I went to a chamber chorale concert.
    [em] county: not a drop
    [em] maybe I should.
    [county] Probably. It makes you more tolerant.
    [luisa|||] anyhow, county, it is all moot
    [luisa|||] i am not going to bed with you
    [luisa|||] so the question of whether you are inferior or not will never come up
    [county] I'm not going to bed with you. What of it?
    [county] Anyway, it has come up, and it's been settled. I'm superior.
    [luisa|||] if you feel that you are
    [luisa|||] i do rather want to go to bed

    [bc] hello
    [me0w] Hi bc
    [bc] hellow me0wsy
    * bc was just in the pub
    [bc] and you know what?
    [me0w] What?
    [bc] a woman in her late forties started coming onto me something dreadful
    [bc] unlike some, I wasn't in the least tempted
    [me0w] Ahhh ... So you had no Mr.Buck temptations ..
    [bc] certainly not :)
    [me0w] Well done!
    [bc] it's not a great achievement, I think these things are in your nature.
    [bc] Either you adore OAP's, or you don't.
    [bc] cool
    [bc] scotland beat south africa at the rugby!
    [me0w] I think though, in Mr. Buck's case, he may have been wearing some good quality Beer Goggles.
    [bc] that's a point. Still, I did have 3 pints, I wasn't entirely sober, but probably not as many Mr Buck. I think alcohol just decreases your reserve, it doesn't make you suddenly find things attractive you don't while sober
    [bc] I mean, if you wake up after a night out with a member of your own sex (for example), it prolly says something
    * bc has some prawns
    [me0w] This is why everyone needs a voice of reason when drinking. I take mine along whenever I am going to be consuming cast quantities of alcohol (the voice of reason is also known as the designated driver).
    [bc] hehe
    [me0w] cast = vast
    [bc] strange, I don't have problems. In fact, I reject much more impressively and fullsomely when drunk than when sober. I don't need no stinkin' voice of reason!
    [me0w] When I am intoxicated I run across a problem .... my tongue feels funny and I like to lick things (people). I need a voice of reason to keep me out of trouble.
    [bc] haha! I remember you mentioning this before. That's an awful affliction, though prolly pretty amusing
    [me0w] And apparently I become quite the mischevious girl and for this I also need the voice.
    [bc] to stop you mixing it up too much? Playing tricks and pranks
    [me0w] And the licking ...
    [bc] this makes you sound like quite the handful when pissed
    [me0w] A giggly handful, yes.
    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why
    [bc] mm that was tasty
    [bc] post-prandial smoke time
    [me0w] enjoy
    * bc wonders whether to watch "contact" on dvd, which he has, but hasn't watched, though he read the book years ago
    [bc] which I liked, I liked the way it was all about revelation, and its validity
    [bc] the woman in it was sort of like a hardcore kurobot at first, you know, utterly logical positivist and materialist and dismissive of anything that can't be proved utterly, of revelation, till it all comes back and bites her when she has her own revelatory experience
    [me0w] I don't think I have ever seen this film.
    [bc] it's supposed to be decent.
    [bc] I think a lot of people hated it, and another lot of people loved it
    [me0w] I will have to add it to my must see list of films.
    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [bc] Catch 22 then
    [bc] you need some caffeine to rouse you to pour it :\
    [me0w] I need to hire someone to make it for me.

    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [bc] I know someone who served in it for 21 years
    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger
    [bc] so canadians and australians and NZers and Nepalians can see the SAS as the peak of their career, if they are good enough to make it through selection

    [Captain_Tenille] Aha

    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4

    [bc] having no constitutional checks, the government is free to deny they exist at all

    [gurl] oh look@
    [gurl] er, nevermind
    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.

    [bc] he deserves it, county
    [bc] Contributing to the skill of the SAS is the Operations Research Unit which develops unique equipment for use by the SP team.
    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did

    [county] Come on, bc, give her brother a chance.
    [county] He's trying to turn is life around!

    [bc] you're right county. I will bail him right away.
    [county] Good man.
    [county] I'm sure gurl will be very grateful.
    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him
    [county] Still, to be unemployed and mangled in these times is difficult. He'll probably end up on the street.
    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving
    [gurl] and makes piles of money
    [gurl] she wanted only to take care of him
    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.

    Well, it's easy to understand why they do these things: They're undernourished, because they don't have much food out there in all the poor countries. So the average foreigner is about four foot six, maybe five feet tops, and they weigh about eighty pounds. Their teeth tend to fall out, and their bones are brittle as hell because they don't have milk. That's because their "commissars" took all their cows away. So you see, these poor "Europeans" as they call themselves, and the "Canadians" and whatnot, all these people are frail weaklings. They have no knowledge of freedom either, because they don't have a Genesis Document guaranteeing their rights, and they're given to sodomy and other degenerate practices because they've never been exposed to Christianity. Christianity is banned in Europe, did you know that? It's true. The Socialists always ban religion when they seize power. Of course, the Europeans were never free to begin with, so they don't know any better. They've always been slaves. It's all the same to them.

    So their poor diet, their atheism, their slavehood, and their homosexuality have robbed them of their strength and their manhood. Therefore, they play girl games like Snuckers, Privet, and Gloon. While we eat our peas for the souls in Purgatory, they HAVE no peas. They limply push a ball around a field, with no manly, bone-crunching collisions to build their flaccid
    characters. Where even our most girlish pseudomen play tennis, they teach badminton to their soldiers.

    >Man, we need to get rid of those other countries. They want to abolish
    >our sports and force us to play homosexual female sports like Polo and
    >Spooning, whatever they are.

    It's sad, but true. In fact, we'd only be putting them out of
    their misery. They'd thank us if they understood.

    Scott Lockwood whines just to hear himself.

    We did. We had an agreement. We moved on to other things. Scott Lockwood didn't. Scott Lockwood couldn't STAND being left alone. He can't live without negative attention, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to atract it. He had, and still does, have the chance to be left alone FOREVAR, just by shutting the hell up. We gave him once chance, and he flat-out lied to us. We left him alone, and he couldn't stand it, so he started spamming himself all over the Internet and goading us to pay attention to him again.

    We put up with it for quite a while, but the frequency and volume of his attention-seeking continued to increase. Well, if he wants attention, he'll get it.

  32. The History of William Scott Lockwood by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WSL throughout the ages!

    William Scott Lockwood 1 - Born 1924 to unknown parents. Abandoned in a trash can in New Orleans by his opium-addicted prostitute mother just minutes after birth. Raised in a Catholic orphanage staffed by pedophile priests. Named himself "William Scott Lockwood 1", combining the names of his three favorite Priests/lovers at the orphanage. After puberty, the priests started to ignore him in favor of the younger boys, and he felt jealous and alienated. He ran away at age 14 and lived in the gayest part of the French Quarter, sucking cocks for spare change. At age 17, his first and only sexual encounter with a female (a woman on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras who claimed she was actually a male Drag Queen) resulted in the conception of a child. The woman, Fannie Sassaman, quickly left town and gave birth to the child in secret, without telling WSL1 that they had conceived a son together. WSL1 died in 1949 when his herpes infection migrated to his brain.

    William Scott Lockwood 2 - Born 1942 to Fannie Sassaman by WSL1. Originally named Ezekiel Sassaman and raised as a good Jewish boy. A botched circumcision by a drunken Mohil left him with an almost nonfunctional penis. From the ages of 3 to 8, he was forced by his mother to shovel coal on a railroad for a living. At age 8, he learned of the true identity of his father, converted to Catholicism, and went to New Orleans to search for his father. (Fannie Sassaman's story doesn't end there, but we'll save it for a later date.) Ezekiel Sassaman renamed himself William Scott Lockwood 2 after his father, who he found lying dead in a gutter when he reached New Orleans. He joined up with a railroad hobo gang, and spent the next two decades riding the rails and carrying out a string of brutal rapes and murders around the country. His damaged penis kept him from conceiving any children, but in 1969, God blessed him with a miracle: one of the women he raped conceived a child. He married her, and shortly thereafter, WSL3 was born. WSL2 quit the railroad gang after his son's birth and settled down with his victim/wife. He is still wanted by the FBI as one of the most notorious serial killers of this century. He is considered heavily armed, extremely dangerous, and morbidly obese. Let the FBI know if you have seen this man. They have offered a $1,000,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest, capture, or death. After a recent sighting at an Illinois hospital, he is once again at large.

    William Scott Lockwood 3 - Born 1969 to a nondescript obese housewife by WSL2. Much has already been written about the life of this man, so I won't cover territory that has already been excellently covered by others before me. Oh, and he runs an obscure website, but only about 5 people actually visit it. Currently struggling with AIDS, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic stress, liver disease, herpes, genital warts, crabs, the Clap, bad acne, morbid obesity, hypertension, and several unidentified illnesses.

    William Scott Lockwood 4 - Born 1992 to Wife #2 by WSL3. Mentally scarred by the abuse and molestation he suffered at the hands of his father at a young age. At age 3, he convinced his mother to divorce WSL3, but that didn't stop the abuse, as WSL3 began a campaign of stalking against Wife #2 and WSL4. WSL4 holds the world record as the youngest person to independently get a restraining order issued against his own father, in 1996 at the age of 4. WSL3 lost interest in WSL4 on his sixth birthday, reportedly saying "they're just not sexy anymore when they get that old." His father left him with an AIDS infection, though, and he isn't expected to last much longer.

    Slashdot troll FAQ

    1. What do trolls do?

      We post inflammatory, satirical or just plain weird comments on slashdot, aiming to draw attention to ourselves and to distract discussion away from the matter at hand. We use satire, wit, art and other cultural weapons to give fun to the clueful and embarrass the clueless.
      1. What are the characteristics of a good troll?

        A good troll is a statement designed to inflame the passions of a certain type of reader. A troll is a contrary or controversial statement, which attacks a preconception of someone who is likely to read it, causing them to suspend their normal standards of critical thinking, and to fire off a combative response, without thinking that they are being had. This is the "classic" troll, aimed at enticing someone to make a fool of themself.
      2. Are there any other kinds of troll?

        Yes. The "surrealistic" troll is a piece of prose, rambling, comic or just downright weird, inserted into a discussion where it seems at once utterly irrelevant and curiously in place. The common thread linking the types of trolls is that a certain kind of personality (read - far too uptight) gets irrationally annoyed by them.
      3. What are "characters"?

        Some kinds of trollish statement have been proven to work again and again, so naturally, some trolls have taken advantage of this fact to repeat them again and again. Certain individual trolls are more or less identified with certain types of trollish statement, and thus we have the idea of a "character" - a fictitious entity which is supposed to actually hold the views which are expressed in the troll's posts. Some of these characters have distinct personalities and maintain narrative coherence from troll to troll (see the "Microsoft Linux" episode between streetlawyer and DMG); some of them show up expressing the same or similar points of view again and again (the RWM and derivatives).
      4. What are some of the characters?

        The number one maximally 1337 troll character is the RWM; the most established troll, with the most solid track record behind him. Opensource man and his creations is the oldest surreal troll; gnarphlager and auntfloyd also adopt this style. Paranoid Man is getting off the ground, and DMG and streetlawyer have their fans. Mindless Bastard is more of a style of trolling than a character per se. There are lots more people posting trolls than are listed here; these are just the repeating characters.
      5. What is an RWM?

        RWM is the Right Wing Maniac, a character with a hotch-potch of (often mutually incompatible) libertarian, Christian, and Objectivist views, who typically (mis)applies the general principles of his world-view to various slashdot topics. He tends to be keen on referring to people as "socialists", particularly if they consider themselves to be conservatives. Sometimes he's more of a religious nut; sometimes it's more the free market which rings his bell. There is also a Left Wing Maniac with a yen for spouting dialectical materialism, but he hasn't done much recently. It's worth noting that it is very rare to find a RWM troll thread in which at least one participant doesn't agree with most of RWM's views.
      6. What is a DMG?

        DMG is the Dumb Marketing Guy. He claims to have been involved in Linux for "at least four years, since the very beginning", and offers unsolicited "open source" marketing advice on Linux advocacy to the members of the community. He often takes a rather hurt tone in response to the welter of abuse which is the usual response to his advice.
      7. How about the other characters?

        For crying out loud, they ought to be self-explanatory, surely to heck?
      8. What's with the "cheese" thing?

        Buggered if I know. Lots of trolls mention cheese, and seem to indicate that cheese has some sort of significance. Maybe it does.
      9. Why does streetlawyer swear so much?

        Because he had a hard life, dragging himself up from the streets to get his fucken law degree from fucken Hah-vud, OK?
      10. What you said really offended me!

        Well, sorry. But really, nobody cares (see below). You're too easily offended. Now purge the post from your board, log our IP address and go back to drawing your "After Y2K" comic (which is shit, by the way).

    2. What don't trolls do?

      We don't do boring, uncreative shit which just makes slashdot harder to read. We're not into denial of service attacks - they aren't very funny. We're probably harsher opponents of the spam bunch than you are, because anything which encourages people to browse at levels above -1 makes our work harder.
      1. Those cut & pastes which fill up the forums, are those you guys?

        Nope. Nezh.
      2. How about that obscene ASCII art I just saw?

        Nope. Nada.
      3. Thank God you've got nothing to do with "open source Natalie Portman", or "naked and petrified"!

        Errrr, well actually yes we have. Both of those ongoing trolls were written by regulars on the troll forum, and you're not going to find condemnation of them in this FAQ.
      4. What?

        Read them. Untwist your underwear, stop fulminating over the momentary interruption to your terribly important discussion about Slackware and have a look at some of these posts. Open source Natalie Portman was a fine piece of Burroughsian prose and if you don't agree that it was, then you're wrong. The whole "Naked and petrified" thing was an absolute triumph - it provoked a huge amount of reaction, entertainingly interfered with a few people's heads by sexualising the context of slashdot and is still talked about, several months after the original author stopped bothering.
      5. But that naked and petrified stuff was really sick!

        Sick to you, but that was actually the guy's genuinely held sexual fantasy. He was erotically excited by the thought of women turned to stone, and was letting the world know about it. Don't pretend that you weren't interested - it's absolutely fascinating.
      6. You're kidding me!

        Nope. I was taken aback myself, but there are several sites on the Net with active discussion boards on this very subject. It's not that very different from the subject of "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker, where the hero has the power to stop time, effectively turning women into statues. And that is quite a common paraphilia.
      7. Well, I thought it was offensive to women. Wasn't it tantamount to a rape fantasy?

        No, it was a petrification fantasy. Which is something rather less threatening, because harder to act out (how many people really believed that anyone could actually turn Natalie Portman to stone?)
      8. What does Natalie Portman think about being "open sourced"?

        I'm sure she's not wonderfully happy about being the subject of someone else's tawdry sexual fantasies, but it kind of comes with the job. I doubt she loses much sleep.
      9. You keep saying I should read this stuff. How can I?

        Opensourceman's works (including the Star Wars series and Fat-time Charlie) are available online at: Craig MacPherson has a website at: , which probably has a few things on it to do with the petrification thing.

    3. So gritsboy and scooby doo are trolls then? And Trollmastah?

      Wellllll .... they're a step above the cut 'n' pasters. And sometimes they can be funny if you're in a silly mood. But they don't contribute to the troll forums, and it's not what I personally would call incredibly creative. Some people like running jokes and some don't. The original Trollmastah has contributed some good material, but there's a lot of imitations about.

    Why, for God's sake?

    For a variety of reasons, but mainly to puncture the self-importance of a few people who deeply deserve it. Slashdot has a lot of very clever people posting, but vastly more individuals with a serious perception/reality gap with regard to their own intelligence. People who believe themselves to be perceptive, clueful, even deep thinkers while merely reciting lists of conventional wisdom deserve to be taken for a ride. And there's the sheer Skinnerian joy of it - if somebody, or some group of people have buttons, it's inhuman not to take delight in pushing them.

    1. Why do you spend such effort on being assholes?

      In order to do it properly.
    2. What's your problem with moderation?

      No problem. Whining about moderation is for the moderation thread. Several trolls moderate more or less frequently (and meta-moderate - be very afraid), and there is very little genuine complaint about moderation on the troll threads. Any remarks about $3 crack are meant in a spirit of fun and affection, and are usually merely cris de coeur when a finely crafted troll has been rumbled in the first few seconds and down-modded.
      1. What about "Portrait of a Moderator"?

        That was funny.

    3. Why don't you go and troll somewhere other than slashdot?

      Where is there? We've had a token go or two at Nitrozac and kuro5hin, and an abortive attempt to troll some of the statuephilia discussion boards with discussions about technology, but it just doesn't feel right. If you ain't on slashdot, you ain't, basically, trolling.
    4. No, why don't you fuck off? You contribute nothing to this site.

      That isn't even true. Several of the troll regulars have enough Karma to post with the +1 bonus when they use their regular identities, which puts them in the top decile, according to Rob Malda. And there is a definite audience for quality trolls. Have you just been trolled? Is that why you're so angry? Calm down, it'll be someone else's turn in the barrel on Friday.
    5. Don't you have anything better to do?

      To paraphrase gnarphlager, yes, we have many better things to do, but we're not going to do them.

    How can I recognise a troll?

    If you want to spot a troll, then you're basically entering into a game, played against us. You have to keep your guard up, adopt a critical attitude to what you read and decide whether it is plausible that someone is actually posting that view. For our part, we will intermingle fact and fiction, invent plausible-sounding references and (always) attempt to attack your emotional involvement in a topic in order to make you drop your guard. The more ridiculous the proposition we sneak under your guard, the more we win. The angrier you get, the more we win. And you? As the computer said in War Games "The only way to win is not to play".

    1. What are the characteristics of a troll?

      Usually, a troll will resemble a normal slashdot post, but will contain at least one thing which is not true. A good troll will contain material which obviously couldn't possibly be true, and would not fool anyone who gave it a moment's thought. The troll will also contain an inflammatory or controversial statement, designed to make sure that nobody does give it a moment's thought. Criticism of Linux, strong or offensive political views, mockery of "computer geeks", claims about the inferiority of women/Canadians/Perl, all of that stuff. Interestingly, having experimented with using outright, Bell-Curve-like racist statements to act as the controversial part of the troll, I've found that they never offend anyone, which I guess shows what a lily-white place slashdot is.


      Obviously these rules apply more to the classic satirical model of a troll, but there is a strong family resemblance in the surrealist model. Looking at the best work of osm, gnarphlager, auntfloyd et al., you pick up a strong sense of the underlying form. There is the (often highly tenuous) link to the subject matter, the building sense of cognitive dissonance and then the denouement in which the troll moves into the realm of pure surrealist prose (or "gets silly", depending on how you look at it). Typically, when reading such a troll for the first time, and in the context of the thread, the reader's reaction goes through stages.

      At the opening of the troll, in which the technological subject matter is being obliquely referred to, the reader is curious. There is an unconscious assumption that what is being used is a metaphor, which appears opaque but will actually make an argument clear (in such a way the surrealist trolls subvert the category of metaphor as used in scientific discussions). Then, the tension between the what the reader wants to read and what he/she sees on the page grows, but the reader still tries to hang on to the idea that he/she is reading "News for Nerds". Finally, when the reality (that is, the unreality) of the troll is revealed, the reader is outraged at having been tricked.


      Thus, we can see that the distinction between the classical and surrealist trolls is one of inversion; metaphor versus metonymy. The classical troll traps the reader in metaphor, creating the "character" or authorial fiction, which the reader takes as a metonymy for "The Other" - the fictional creature on the screen is espousing Microsoft, or Libertarianism, or something else which must be ritually reacted to, rather than read as if it were a metaphorical text. The surrealist troll appears to use metaphor, but creates no authorial fiction. The piling up of the metonymic symbols of trolldom (cheese, Natalie Portman, the Troll itself) draws the reader into the pure text, looking for a meaning (or metaphor) which is always deferred. The reader wants to create an authorial fiction, but this is denied - and it is this denial which is the source of his/her rage. The surrealist troll lets the reader down with a bump - the satirical troll, in its purest form, never lets the reader out at all, leaving him/her stuck in a world which is false, because he/she is being manipulated by the authorial fiction. Classical trolling is about the use of metaphor to create metonymy; surrealist trolling is using metonymy to create metapor.

      1. Wow, that's pretty deep.

        YHBT. YHL. HAND. (Ha ha, only serious)

    2. Do you always list the trolls in these forums?

      Pretty much so, yeah. There's been "trolltalk", "trolltalk2", "31337troll" and a bunch of others. It's good to be able to see other people's work, to discuss trolling, and on occasion to have a way of proving for sure that something you wrote was a troll, to a particularly persistent mark.
    3. What's the current 31337 forum?

      If I could tell you, I'd have to kill you. There have been a few problems with people stalking some of the trolls, and spamming the troll forums with whitespace to make them unusable. There's no big secret or anything, it's just that we'd like to think that finding the troll forum requires a modicum of commitment and ingenuity. There's one pretty well-trafficked troll forum which is listed in most of the usual indices. Look, fuck it, you used to be able to find BBSes, didn't you? This is no different.
    4. Isn't that a bit hypocritical, to keep moving the troll forum because it gets trolled?

      Yada yada yada.
    5. But if I know the sid of the 1337 forum, I can read the trolls as they happen?

      Welllllll ..... yeah ... I suppose that technically you can, and you need never be taken in by a troll again. But that's a bit lame, don't you think? This is meant to be a game, after all.
    6. What should I do if I suspect a troll?

      Write a nice, long post, beginning with the phrase "I'm sure this is a troll, but ....", get really angry, call everyone a bunch of assholes and always reply to follow ups : -) Nahhh, that's what we'd like you to do.
      1. Well what should I do, then?

        The only approved, correct, 1337 way to deal with a troll is not to reply at all. Don't say anything. Just sit back and feel smugly self-satisfied that you caught the troll. Go on. People always seem to say the word "smug" as if it were a bad thing, but how can something that feels so good be wrong? Smirk. Once the troll is "dead" (once the author has taken credit for it and admitted the troll), you might want to post a message about it. You'll probably get a nice reply.
      2. Should I alert others to the troll?

        Wellllll .... if you really must, I suppose you can, but it is a bit lame and lacks eliteness. For one thing, it makes you look like a bit of a spoilsport. For another, it gives unfair clues to people who have no idea of what to do with them. For yet another, it's quite possible that the people you warn will ignore you. Either that, or start arguing with you, saying things like "Well it may be a troll but ....". In which case, you're now the one who's wasting bandwidth by starting fruitless discussions; ie, you've turned into a troll yourself. If you must go through this, however, just post up "This is a troll", or something. Don't link to the troll forum post claiming credit - that is truly lame.
      3. How about if I reply to the points made in the troll, but preface my post with the words "I'm pretty sure this is a troll, but in any case"?

        Then you should be prepared to live with being a laughing stock. We live off people like you, who simply can't stop themselves from pouring out conventional wisdom, even when they know they are being made monkeys of. And no, the "I'm pretty sure ..." disclaimer doesn't make you look ironic and knowing.

    7. Why shouldn't I link to the troll forum post if I spot a troll?

      Well, fundamentally, it lacks class. For one thing, you're feeding the troll while pretending not to feed it, which is dishonest. For another, you're encouraging lots of enraged people to visit the troll forum. This means that the troll forum gets spammed, the trolls move, and you now will be forced to spot trolls for yourself rather than reading them off the list, lamer. Also, the trolls can't tell who it was who brought the spammer there, so all the other people who used to enjoy reading the daily trolls don't find out where the new forum is.

    How can I start trolling for myself?

    "Just do it", as that noted provider of employment to Indonesian children once said. Your first trolls are unlikely to be offensive enough to draw many responses, but once you lose your disinclination to be unpleasant, results will follow. Of course, you may incipiently be a natural trolling genius like dmg, who got huge pops from the get-go. Choose a story which will get a lot of traffic, try to get an early, top-level post, etc, etc (here might follow a whole load of shit from the Karma HOWTO which I'm not going to reproduce). And, offend. You might want to start off with a right-wing maniac troll.

    1. What are the key elements of an RWM troll?

      RWM is the source from which it all flows. Like an origami master building everything from a folded base, or a woodworker turning a chair-leg, the entirety of the art is encapsulated in this one element. It is possible to dedicate your entire trolling career to the perfection of the RWM (troll gods 80md and 70% more or less have done). If you can't write an RWM troll, you can't write a troll.


      The key to the RWM troll is to realise its heritage from Usenet. Usenet trolling was all about cross-posting controversial statements to start flame-wars between different newsgroups. On slashdot, you can't cross-post, so you have to identify people who can be brought into conflict where you are. The beauty of the RWM troll is not so much that he sets rightwingers against leftwingers, but that he creates cognitive dissonance in rightwing readers, because they want to agree with his conclusions (or at least, his less obviously mad ones), but can't bring themselves to accept his reasoning (or simulation thereof). RWM also exploits the fact that a lot of people with right-wing views haven't necessarily thought out those views very comprehensively, and so are vulnerable to cognitive dissonance caused by the inconsistency of what they believe. Among the elements of right-wing mania are:

      • Libertarianism. Everything should be legalised, even obviously destructive things. All government regulations should be removed. The market will protect your privacy, as firms which don't give you privacy will go out of business. Everything which is, is for the best, otherwise the market would have got rid of it. Yes, free speech does include child pr0n. Etc.
      • Corporation-worship. Capitalism works, boyeee. Big companies are the lifeblood of the country and the technology industry. They're successful, so they must be good, so they should be given all those responsiblilities which currently belong to the government. Only the government can censor (it's probably in the dictionary definition), so anything a corporation can do is morally right. The property rights of companies are more important than any rights you think you have.
      • Religious nuttery. Everything is potentially Satanic, even things which seem quite innocuous. The liberals, relativists and communists are indoctrinating our children. There is a conspiracy afoot against Christians, and the downward moderation of this post just goes to prove it. Evolution is by no means proven.
      • Americanism. USA! USA! USA!

      Obviously, everyone who disagrees with a RWM is a socialist, even if they don't think they are.

    2. What are the key elements of a "character" troll?
    3. I think I want to do a surrealist troll, what should I do?
    4. How much effort should I put into a troll?
    5. How can I get more replies?

  42. Scott Lockwood The Oathbreaker by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thoughout history, many names have been used to describe those who are on the wrong moral path in life: coward, criminal, fiend, monster, vagrant, lunatic. It's without question that William Scott Lockwood III is all of these things, but these are things that can be forgiven. William Scott Lockwood III's sins run deeper.

    In many cultures, the greatest moral offense a man can commit isn't murder, robbery, rape, arson, or even blasphemy. In these cultures, there's a word for someone who is even lower than the murderers and rapists, because he has demonstrated with clear finality his lack of moral character. This one word, never used carelessly, reserved only for the lowest of the low is oathbreaker.

    Many societies value personal honor, honesty, and integrity above anything else. People can make mistaks, and still maintain their honor if they take accountability for their actions. But the oathbreaker is the lowest of the low, never to be forgiven, and never to be trusted. This is because he has voluntarily sacrified the only thing that every man brings with him into the world, and the only thing that every man (hopefully) takes with him into the grave: his honor.

    When a man's honor is gone, he has nothing.

    Ladies and gentlemen, William Scott Lockwood III has nothing. If our society were still built on the concept that a man's word is sacred and that honoring others with the truth is a noble goal, William Scott Lockwood III would be dead right now.

    A man's word is his bond, and when he breaks his word, he's no longer a man at all. He's worse than a coward, worse than a liar, and worse than a thief, but he's all these things and more. He's an oathbreaker.

    In the past, oathbreakers become nonpersons. They stand below even murderers and thieves. Even beggars would not give or recieve comfort from an oathbreaker. Quite often, they were simply killed outright. Sometimes, they were merely cut off from honest society, trusted by no one, alienated until the day they died. After their death, their families were shunned and distrusted forever, because a man holds in his hand no only his own honor, but the honor of his family as well.

    The Lockwood family has no honor left. The Lockwood family has no place in honest society, among civilized humans, because they have no honor, and they are not a part of civilization.

    Killing an oathbreaker was considered to be an act of mercy, sending a tortured soul on to final judgement instead of forcing him to live an empty, hollow life.

    Maybe it's time that we bring back the practice of killing oathbreakers, and ensuring that their bloodline does not propogate. Maybe a lack of honesty is what's wrong with our society. Maybe that's why everything is falling into chaos around us. When you can't trust a man's word, what basis is there for civilization?

    I think upon consideration that you will agree: William Scott Lockwood III is less than a gentlemen, less even than a man, less even than a human, less even than an animal. William Scott Lockwood III is an oathbreaker.

    access. Hi.

    I was talking with rusty indirectly about this, last
    night. He was asking me why I wanted k5 Anne Marie's
    nick -- that is, why I wanted to carry that "slashdot
    baggage" over with me to k5, the same way siggy did.
    It's funny, that way. I wanted k5 Anne Marie because
    it's a lovely character troll of mine. Siggy wanted
    "Signal 11" because it's the only way he's ever gotten
    a lot of (any) attention. He's afraid to be just

    You're more verbose than I am! I never knew that about you :)

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    Should I "feed" my trolls?

    Feeding trolls needs to be done to people who outright flame your troll or who ask loads of dumb questions in an attempt to be reasonable. The longer their reply is, the better it is to reply to them. And if they get moderated up for their vacuous party-line response, troll them again :)

    Bah, I'd hate this, but then I'm too much a karmawhore at heart. But if we could somehow increase the amount of quality moderation (to get rid of brainless drivel, not just spam) and rely on our abilities to craft quality-sounding trolls, then I wouldn't complain too much if we got rid of karma altogether and got rid of the +1 bonus along with it. Originally, the +1 bonus was reserved by just a few, but now every lamer and his dog has it. It's lost all meaning.

    I'd been thinking along the lines of hiding usernames during moderation, if nothing else than to help us trolls with recognizable usernames who get unfair moderation simply for being trolls in general than just on a particular post. I can see several0 problems, though:

    1) It won't stop the most dedicated of trollbusters who will keep a separate window open as AC where they can see people's usernames. These are the moderators who most need to be stopped, and yet this restriction won't do so.

    2) It will add a social cost to moderating itself. People might just start throwing their points at crap just to get back to normal mode where they can see who's talking. But it could cut both ways.

    3) It'll increase the amount of noisy replies screaming: "Moderators! Don't you realize streetlawyer/flatpack/etc. is the one saying this?!?!?!" We don't need that.

    4) You'd have to hide .sig files as well. Not a big deal.

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole
    lawyer the defendant isn't allowed to have. I was
    going to subpoena bank records, grill prosecutorial
    witnesses, and vote to nullify anything I considered
    unjust (even when "legal"). I was going to persuade
    enough fellow jurors to kick out anyone we didn't
    like, especially the prosecutor. In short, I was
    going to troll the legal system.

    But I didn't get that opportunity. After an hour of
    sitting in the grand-jury room, we were informed that
    we weren't waiting for a grand-jury seating: instead,
    a petite-jury seating.

    Petite juries, in states that value the constitution,
    are 12-person panels that sit and hear evidence in the
    actual criminal trial. Their role is ostensibly to
    decide the facts and apply the law as directed by the
    judge. Their actual role under the constitution
    (though the Supreme Court doesn't require that you be
    informed of this) is to sit in judgment not just on
    the facts but also on the law. Again, I was hoping to
    get a chance to nullify stuff: this time, drug laws
    and other things I believe unconstitutional.

    Again, I was denied. Only five minutes later, we were
    informed that all the cases pending today were
    plea-bargained, and we were "free to go". A sigh of
    relief was heard throughout the room, as people who
    didn't want to be there were grateful that they didn't
    have to serve on a jury and perform the duty they
    didn't want to perform. I was disgusted.

    That's what's most wrong with plea bargaining in this
    country. Not that 90% of cases never reach public
    scrutiny because they're decided in the hallways of
    courthouses. Not that people serve penalties for
    unconstitutional charges. Not that real criminals get
    off with reduced sentences. Not that the legislatures
    feel free to pass an absurd number of laws without
    caring whether the court system can handle the load of
    giving each citizen true justice.

    None of that.

    What's wrong is that I, a troll, have been kept off my
    damn jury. No respect.

    [county] No, see, we'd get you really drunk and then we'd steal your wallet and flee to Seattle.
    [luisa||||] i have no wallet
    [county] Where do you carry your money?
    [luisa||||] wouldn't you like to know.
    [county] Well, that is why I asked, I suppose.
    [luisa||||] mostly i don't carry
    [luisa||||] unless i am getting groceries or something
    [county] Hmm. I always have money, but then, other people don't buy me things.
    [luisa||||] people used to more often
    [luisa||||] but that was when i was not so morose
    [county] I've always been reserved, not morose, though.
    [luisa||||] that always makes me dizzy in a guy
    [luisa||||] because so many have trouble sorting themselves in public or private with females
    [county] How do you mean? Maybe we just prefer to ignore females.
    [momocrome] damn
    [momocrome] luisa||||, I was pursuing the theory that you were a guy earlier today, because women usually don't refer to male humans as bis, but gay men do
    [momocrome] bis, boys
    [momocrome] your use of the word guy a moment ago shoots that theory to hell
    [momocrome] men usually don't refer to boys as guys, see.
    [county] What do we refer to them as?
    [luisa||||] i'm a lass, right enough
    [momocrome] well, usually, asshole or bastard
    [momocrome] but otherewise, men or fellas
    [luisa||||] by sorting, i mean when they are round a girl they like, county
    [luisa||||] or girls they like
    [county] Oh, I ignore them too, luisa.
    [county] I have a system, and it works.
    [luisa||||] that makes no sense
    [luisa||||] how can they like you if you never let them?
    [county] Well, I don't see how that's any of my concern. I'm not required to accommodate people who might wish to like me.
    [momocrome] heh

    [county] Natalie Portman is a tart.
    [county] Although, I have to admit, I'd hit it.
    [luisa||||] she is pleasant enough
    [luisa||||] but i base that on her star wars two costumes
    [luisa||||] because i would steal nearly all of them for my own.
    [county] Sans tears, I should hope.
    [luisa||||] oh, aye
    [county] The only one I can really recall is the white one.
    [momocrome] i would take a tear encrusted costume from her
    [momocrome] I would make her cry.

    [momocrome] it is true
    [county] It might be fun to make luisa cry, but I'm sure it would require more time and effort than it's worth.
    [momocrome] it might be easy
    [county] You're right, it might be.
    [momocrome] just wisper to her every night about her shortcomings
    [county] Every night?
    [county] How many nights?
    [momocrome] and then set it up to say two or three keywords in a certain sequence to crush her will
    [county] See, that's what I meant by time.
    [momocrome] those would be nights spent next to her lithe figure, though
    [momocrome] not a waste, a benefit
    [county] You've an interesting idea about the female psyche, momocrome.
    [me0w] Night night
    [momocrome] night
    * momocrome fetches 'nother beer
    [county] OK, so I whisper the words, she cries, then what?
    [county] Can I grind her to dust and throw her into the wind?
    [momocrome] sure
    [momocrome] or change her being for the simple thrill
    [momocrome] mold her life to your whim
    [momocrome] whatever suits your fancy
    [momocrome] I am turning my girl into a goth
    [county] I thought she was to begin with.
    [momocrome] just cause she 'hates goths'
    [county] Or was she more a punk?
    [momocrome] well, she is goth-ish without admitting it
    [county] So you're not actually doing anything at all, just taking credit for a preexistent state of affairs.
    [momocrome] and somewhat punk. bitch is probably a better description
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Or is that too much honesty?
    [county] I can tone it down, if you like.
    [momocrome] no. I have turned her around
    [momocrome] now, for example, she listens mostly to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy
    [momocrome] in her car
    [momocrome] sheonce hit me with her fist for daring to suggest such dreadful music!
    [momocrome] bah
    [momocrome] tastes change
    [momocrome] I can't honestly take credit for it
    [county] She hit you with her fist?
    [county] And you tolerated it!?
    [momocrome] why not?
    [momocrome] it is well within my threshold to tolerate
    [county] It's quite disrespectful.
    [momocrome] she is 'spunky' like that
    [momocrome] she throws things at walls
    [momocrome] slams doors
    [momocrome] hangs up on people
    [county] Sounds like my sister, of whom I am not particularly fond.
    [luisa||||] heh
    [momocrome] is your sister self absorbed and tempermental?
    [luisa||||] you couldn't make me cry that way, county
    [luisa||||] emotional torture is bad form and doesn't really work
    [momocrome] my GF is not self absorbed or tempermental
    [momocrome] she is obstinate and hysterical
    [momocrome] hmm
    [momocrome] maybe I am drunk?
    [county] luisa, I would make you cry somehow.
    [momocrome] the fastest road to this destination is with puppy murder
    [momocrome] get a puppy, let her fawn over it a bit, then hack its' head clean off
    [county] I will make you cry, I do so swear.
    [luisa||||] nah, you cannot
    [momocrome] it is how the Nazis trained their officers
    [luisa||||] i don't always know why i cry
    [luisa||||] but i do know boys aren't able to make it happen
    [county] I don't care how long I have to employ arcane magic and technology to keep us both alive, but I will make you cry.
    [county] Even if I must delight you, bore you, torture you, romance you, shun you, and pleasure you for tens of thousands of years, I will succeed.
    [luisa||||] nope, you'll not
    [county] We'll see who has the last laugh.
    [luisa||||] hehe.
    [county] That was a laugh, sure, but was it the last?
    [county] Haha!
    [county] Apparently not.
    [luisa||||] hoho!
    [county] Oh stop, you.
    [luisa||||] certainement, chere
    [momocrome] county, luisa||||, I hate to mention this
    [county] Yet you're going to anyway?
    [county] Why, I wonder?
    [momocrome] but if those pics floating around of luisa|||| are accurate
    [momocrome] she is my ideal woman
    [county] Well, which ones?
    [momocrome] i am compelled to finally mention it
    [momocrome] by way of booze
    [county] She doesn't actually look like a monkey, if those are the ones you're thinking of.
    [momocrome] do you suppose those are the ones to which I refer?
    [momocrome] I am probably just grasping at any outlet though
    [county] Well, are you talking about the ones of a topless young black girl with a tattoo?
    [momocrome] she was wearing a nice dress in the photos I saw
    [momocrome] don't recall toplessness
    [momocrome] bc had them on his server
    [county] The topless girl with the tattoo isn't luisa.
    [county] There are some ones of the real luisa wearing scandelously short dresses and skirts, though.
    [momocrome] those are probably the ones I am thinking of
    [county] OK.
    [county] Well, get in line, buddy.
    [momocrome] no prob'
    [momocrome] i already have a girl, after all
    [county] Yes, rub that in.
    [county] Son of a bitch!
    [luisa||||] yeah, i notice that about guys
    [luisa||||] they find me quite attractive
    [momocrome] and a bunch of airline miles!
    [luisa||||] but at the end of the day, i haven't got them as boyfriends
    [luisa||||] some less hot chick does
    [momocrome] I can even upgrade to first class en route to Houston
    [luisa||||] what's up with that?
    [county] God damn you, luisa.
    [county] bc took me off the access list, and I know it's your fault.
    [momocrome] you'd have your pick in Seattle
    [luisa||||] bc loves you
    [luisa||||] no i wouldn't
    [luisa||||] they wouldn't even talk to me
    [county] He thinks I'm tempermental, untrustworthy, and fiery, though.
    [luisa||||] just stare and smile some
    [county] He doesn't think I'm fit to hold power.
    [luisa||||] well, you are at that
    [momocrome] well, if either qpt or I saw you on the bus, we'd both make our moves
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, i know qp is a doll
    [momocrome] I am a Viking Warlord of a doll
    [luisa||||] but i only like blond things for sport
    [county] I'm not sure I'd recognize luisa.
    [luisa||||] and qp is blonde
    [county] I'm not.
    [luisa||||] well, you should be
    [momocrome] sure, shoot me down already.
    [momocrome] :(
    [luisa||||] next you'll be telling me you're not attractive, either
    [momocrome] I might be as handsome as Yanni!
    [luisa||||] and that you aren't a boy at all.
    [county] I could say all of that.
    [county] Have, at one point or another.
    [luisa||||] so you are a girl?
    [county] No, I'm not, sadly.
    [luisa||||] a pity
    [luisa||||] i like girls for sport well enough
    [county] What sort of sport?
    [momocrome] that's itg.
    [momocrome] dammit
    [momocrome] I have a hangnail all bandaged up
    [momocrome] disrupts the typing
    [luisa||||] what a night
    [momocrome] you scoff.
    [luisa||||] i chose irc and light reading and 80s music at home over 80s music in a club and loads of pointless drinking
    [momocrome] but I tried to proclaim my love
    [luisa||||] eh, you are drunqk and claimed
    [luisa||||] and also non-local
    *** ubu_away has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
    [county] I tried to proclaim my love, too.
    [luisa||||] you are also drunk and non-local
    [luisa||||] also, i have no idea what you look like
    [county] You are so shallow!
    [county] And you do know. bc showed you a picture.
    [county] I asked him and he confirmed.
    [luisa||||] i have no idea what picture
    [county] I looked for it the other day, it wasn't online anymore.
    [luisa||||] a shame
    [county] It was a poor picture, anyway.
    [county] I've gotten better looking in my twenties. I was quite pleased.
    [luisa||||] well, it's no matter to me
    [county] Yes it is. You prefer not to look at ugly pictures.
    [luisa||||] you are either pasty faced dork or rather decent looking
    [county] Everyone does.
    [luisa||||] i shall never know which
    * county gets an idea.
    [county] If I were really pasty and really dorky, might you be brought to tears at the sight of me?
    [luisa||||] no.
    [luisa||||] else i'd weep daily
    [luisa||||] just from walking around and about
    [county] What's your opinion of ubu's picture?
    [county] I was rather surprised.
    [county] I'm not convinced it's him.
    [luisa||||] if that is him, goddamn
    [luisa||||] that's really it.
    [county] And to think, he's been hitting on li'l ol' me!
    [county] I feel flattered.
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [luisa||||] the thing is though
    [luisa||||] it would be totally typical for a boy like him to look like that
    [county] How do you mean?
    [momocrome] http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/ pc/jul01/legendsMM01.jpg
    [luisa||||] i knew a guy similar in personality to him online
    [momocrome] images fdrom a game I made
    [luisa||||] the guy was so cagey about his appearance
    [luisa||||] but he was super fucking gorgeous
    [luisa||||] but also an invalid recluse who resided on his parents' estate
    [luisa||||] i miss him sometimes
    [county] haha! So you've mistaken my own hesitance to give out a picture for attractiveness.
    [county] That's amusing.
    [luisa||||] in your case, no
    [county] You have to realize that most people who don't want to be seen simply do it out of ugliness.
    [luisa||||] i was speaking of ubu's image that he chose to pony up
    [luisa||||] nearly all the cagey guys i have met first online were superhot
    [luisa||||] they just felt they lacked appeal
    [county] I know that you were talking about ubu, but I was noting that it explained your somewhat bizarre notions about me.
    [luisa||||] k5 has unfortunately shown me the more homely-ass end of the spectrum
    [county] I don't know why you can't accept me as I am :(
    [luisa||||] i haven't any idea what you am
    [luisa||||] as in other areas of my life, i was horribly spoilt in my early online experiences
    [luisa||||] pretty much everyone was very physically attractive, and also fun to hang out with offline
    [luisa||||] mostly the people i get along with best online are also physically attractive
    [momocrome] county's eyes arent gray.
    [luisa||||] not every time, but 9/10
    [momocrome] they are green-brown
    [luisa||||] don't taunt, momo ;p
    [momocrome] mine are gray.
    [luisa||||] green-brown is one of my favourite colours for eyes
    [momocrome] also, I can track raccoon by the merest trace of their spoor
    [luisa||||] grey can be interesting, but depends on the lad
    [luisa||||] i am sure that is very nice.
    [county] My eyes are green-brown. I've medium brown hair, and I'm caucasian, but with a fair amount of Iberian blood in me.
    [momocrome] gray is the premium eye colour. don't fool yourself.
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, you sound pretty enough
    [momocrome] Iberian isn't caucasian?
    [luisa||||] if the boys i have known like that are anything to go on
    [momocrome] I suppose it is moorish mixed
    [momocrome] I am norse.
    [county] momocrome is also fat.
    [momocrome] bah!
    [county] A big, fat viking.
    [county] With a braided beard.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [county] He pillaged his bride from a nearby village.
    [county] ^ Poetry.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] i am a sexy bitch who wishes boys liked her in a long term relationship way
    [momocrome] I have been with my GF for 3 years 11 months
    [momocrome] I have staying power
    [luisa||||] yes, for her
    [county] luisa, never trust a guy who leaves someone to be with you.
    [luisa||||] i want a superhot boy who is clever
    [luisa||||] and who wants me for a long time
    [momocrome] well, since we haven't married, perhaps we need to move on now.
    [luisa||||] i quite despair of ever attaining that
    [county] You just don't strike me as the committing type, luisa.
    [luisa||||] since bc is my evil twin
    [momocrome] bc would marry you
    [luisa||||] we could never marry, or even date, even when i am in scotland
    [luisa||||] we could probably hang out some
    [luisa||||] but anything more wouldn't even make sense at this point
    [county] You seem too self-absorbed to be faithful. Faithfulness, though the rough spots, requires a real selflessness, and you don't appear to exhibit that. That's not to say that you couldn't be selfless, I have no idea. You don't seem it, though.
    [luisa||||] i am very self-contained
    [luisa||||] it has been a source of stress in every really serious thing with a guy
    [luisa||||] also i have no tolerance for idiocy
    [county] Guys are used to women being somewhat unreserved in their expressions of emotion. Maybe your aloofness is mistaken for lack of interest.
    [momocrome] or frigidity
    [county] Aye.
    [luisa||||] well, i am warm enough in physical aspects
    * em is back
    [luisa||||] i just am cold outside physical expressions of intimacy
    [luisa||||] hullo, em
    [em] wrote another conference abstract, forgot to have dinner.
    [luisa||||] korean
    [county] The physical aspect isn't enough, though.
    [luisa||||] man, because of you, the girls at the restaurant think i've been to korea
    [em] who, me?
    [luisa||||] because i can say all the dishes correctly
    [county] It would just make you seem sluttish.
    [em] bibimbap dolsat?
    [em] kimchi?
    [luisa||||] oh, there's loads of other things besides those
    [em] those are all I know, so don't blame me, dammit
    [luisa||||] haha, but i love them all
    * em wrote a semi-sane abstract tonight
    [luisa||||] sluts regret and get emotionally attached, though
    [luisa||||] i don't
    [momocrome] the most passionate and violent racists I have ever known are koreans that hate other koreans.
    [em] and had a meeting earlier today with one of my profs about the crazy one I did yesterday
    [county] Then you're even worse than a slut, then, if you feel no emotional attachment?
    [em] He said: "I thought you were too young to write such Grand Old Man abstracts!"
    [em] and then kind of mocked me by reading the first couple of sentences with an imitation of Roman Jakobson's accent.
    [em] (yeah, my prof was a friend of Jakobson. sue me.)
    *** momocrome is now known as Linux
    [luisa||||] i feel emotional attachment
    * em thinks Linux should be banned in this channel.

    [county] You just said you didn't.
    [county] The boy wants to be bothered with it, you nut!
    [Linux] em, I think they are ripping on you in trolltalk
    [luisa||||] no, that is just asking for rejection
    [county] Of course, and there's the rub.

    [luisa||||] i always reject guys who want me lots

    *** Retrieving #adequacy info...
    [county] Anyway, wanting you a lot right after meeting you and wanting you a lot after a few months of seeing each other frequently strike me as crucially different states of affairs.
    [luisa||||] well, i reject in both cases
    [luisa||||] usually because the guy isn't the right sort for my tastes
    [county] Why?
    [luisa||||] the ones i want will not suffer through the emotional coldness to stay with me
    [county] What do you want? To love and be loved, but never admit it or have it be admitted to you?
    * em looks at the trolltalk thing.
    * em yawns.
    [luisa||||] heh, probably, county
    [Linux] there is a traiteor in the midst of the old inchfan crowd
    [Linux] traitor
    [Linux] gah
    [Linux] ok, just thought you should know
    * em yawns.
    [county] Suffer through it? Why would they? From their perspective, you're frigid or not interested, and sticking around would be foolish and self-indulgent. They're only trying to make a graceful retreat when they can.
    [em] who the hell is matt stanton?
    [Linux] no idea
    [Linux] it does bring up your stanford page as the first hit on google
    [Linux] and judging by how hard they are harassing vlad, i'd keep an eye on things
    * em doesn't really care by now.
    [county] I'm glad my name wasn't on that list.
    [county] I don't want to be targeted by those freaks!
    [luisa||||] they know i'm interested, county
    [county] Interested really isn't enough.
    [county] Interested is wasting their time, after a point.
    [county] They need to know you have some level of commitment.
    [luisa||||] i'd stay only with them and not have any others, if they asked
    [luisa||||] the boys i tend to like
    [luisa||||] but they seem to all think i should be with someone more attractive physically
    [county] Can you honestly be so dense?
    * em realizes who Matt Stanton is, and simultaneously, the identity of the perpetrator.
    [Linux] osm
    [Linux] not that I know who matt stanton is
    [county] Who is Matt Stanton?
    [Linux] they are calling the whole bunch + vlad 'Vladequacy' and targetting all
    *** luisa||| (~happy@dialup-64.152.241.224.Dial1.Houston1.Level 3.net) has joined #adequacy
    [luisa|||] how am i dense when the boys are the ones saying i'm too pretty for them to deserve?
    [county] luisa, the simple fact is that until you're willing to make yourself more emotionally vulnerable, you will never find what you want.

    I was talking with rusty indirectly about this, last
    night. He was asking me why I wanted k5 Anne Marie's
    nick -- that is, why I wanted to carry that "slashdot
    baggage" over with me to k5, the same way siggy did.
    It's funny, that way. I wanted k5 Anne Marie because
    it's a lovely character troll of mine. Siggy wanted
    "Signal 11" because it's the only way he's ever gotten
    a lot of (any) attention. He's afraid to be just

He can't live without negative attention, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to atract it. He had, and still does, have the chance to be left alone FOREVAR, just by shutting the hell up. We gave him once chance, and he flat-out lied to us. We left him alone, and he couldn't stand it, so he started spamming himself all over the Internet and goading us to pay attention to him again.

    We put up with it for quite a while, but the frequency and volume of his attention-seeking continued to increase. Well, if he wants attention, he'll get it.

    Scott Lockwood, it's all up to you. You can stop it any time you like. You know that VladeKua5y is doomed. Stop fucking yourself over. You can end it any time, if you have willpower and honest. The problem is that you don't. You have no morality as a person.

    Is this Scott Lockwood? No, Scott Lockwood is much wider than that. Is this Scott Lockwood, or is this? There are so many that seem to fit him, I just can't decide.

    PREPARE FOR THE HOW2TROLL TROLLING WORKSHOP
    Dedicated to teaching quality Trolling skillz

    STEP 1 : Pick a story and search through for a highly-rated or otherwise prominent comment in which someone uses a nubmered list. For example, you want to find something like this:

    EXAMPLE:

    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    For example, I selected this post as a prime target. There are only a few things to keep in mind: pick an active story and a comment that'll be seen by a lot of people as the target of your troll. The comment MUST contain a numbered list, similar to the above, although the exact style of numbering can vary. Also, try to pick a comment that hasn't already been trolled this way. Every comment with a numbered list will eventually get hit, so you want to be quick.

    STEP 2 : Take careful note of the method of numbering that your target post is using. It really doesn't matter, as long as it's numbered. For example, in this post I use text like "STEP 1", "STEP 2", etc. Note this carefully. This method of trolling makes the most sense when the list is a list of ordered steps (such as this vary document you are reading), BUT if the numbered list is something different, such as "REASON 1:", "REASON 2:", etc., hit it anyway! Your troll will be more esoetric and non-sequitur, but all the better: trolling doesn't always HAVE to make sense. Sometimes it's fun to confuse people.

    STEP 3 : Now you'll put the information gained from step 2 to good use, as you attack the target you selected. This is where it gets complicated, so pay attention. This is easiest to explain with a couple of examples. Let's say your target looks like this:

    TARGET POST:

    • 1. I am a Slashbot!
    • 2. Gosh, I hope I don't get trolled!
    • 3. Blah blah blah, whore for karma!
    • 4. In conclusion, I'm SO smart!

    Now, to pull off your masterfult act of trollage, you'll want to sneak in, post a reply, and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:

    • 4. ???
    • 5. PROFIT!
    Let's say that the post you're replying to is a bit more complex:

    TARGET POST:
    Reasons Linix is so great!
    *REASON 1: My allowance won't cover expensive software.
    *REASON 2: Completely off-topic rant about Microsoft.
    *REASON 3: I love Linix!!

    Now you want to come in and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:
    *REASON 4: ???
    *REASON 5: PROFIT!

    Note what I did there: I emulated the exact style of his numbered list, and then added to it in order to cleverly troll him. THAT is the key. If he numbers his list using bold, use bold. If your target uses all caps, use all caps. If he uses Roman Numerals, use Roman Numerals (hint: I II III IV V VI VII VII IX X, then everything repeats from there), etc. Make YOUR list seem like an naturally-flowing conclusion to your TARGET's list. Then give him HELL! Here's the general key:

    TARGET POST:
    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    ...
    X. Blah!

    TROLL REPLY
    X+1. ???
    X+2. PROFIT!

    I know it gets complicated when you throw in the algebra, but you should be able to do it. Keep track of the numbers on a piece of paper if you have to. It's vary difficult, but once you try it out, you'll get the hang of it. It's an aquired skill that can only be improved through hard work and practice. So get out there and troll!

    Here's a summary:

    STEP 1 : Pick your target (active, contains numbered list)
    STEP 2 : Gather information (style of the numbered list)
    STEP 3 : Nail the target by adding on to his own list!
    STEP 4 : ???
    STEP 5 : PROFIT!

    See, I even did it to my own damn list! That's how easy it is once you become a master at this discipline of trolling! Good luck, young Jedi!!! Go out and troll the world, you motherfucking cuntrag bitches!!

    There many, many people in the world who dislike Lockwood; some

    our core group, nor do we know whether a given person
    outside our core group is a free agent or is affiliated
    with another group.

    These activities are by nature clandestine and solitary, thus we
    only work freely with allies we've met in meatspace and can trust
    absolutely. I have no idea of the exact number of fellow Vlad-haters
    out there (I know it's large), or whether or not any of them have
    formed cabals similar to our own, so please don't go lumping us all
    together.

    Generally, we operate in clusters or "cells" where one member of
    one cell is designated as a messenger with a similarly designated
    member of another cell. If the designated messenger is discovered,
    that individual is "disposed of" and another individual is selected.

    In this way, no single cell is aware of how many members are in
    any other cell and the only thing known of the membership of other
    cells is the mutual identities of the messengers. Each cell is
    constructed such that only the messenger from one other cell
    is in contact with the messenger of any given cell. Therefore, we
    cannot form a "gang" as you call it.

    Instead, you would be more correct to refer to us as a "sweeping
    cluster of antibodies reacting to a foreign body in order to prevent

    Dear Trolls,

    It has occured to me that you think that chainrust is me. I have received replies for emails I did not write, and other nonsense.

    Thankfully, Chainrust (aka Pumpernickel and other nicks according to you) has contacted me to make the situation clear. Let me clear it further for the challenged of us out there:

    Chainrust's name is not Jared Stattlemeyer. You have hardly any chance of finding his real identity (no, I will not tell you).

    I am not Chainrust of Adequacy or Slashdot or K5.

    The phone numbers you have published are not mine, but they may be of some other Jared Stattlemeyer, an Astroglide user in Jerusalem. The same goes for the email addresses.

    In short, you are dumb. Very very dumb. The next time you decide that you can come to the right conclusions based on an incomplete evidence, please remember the above.

    Oh, and by the way. I have your IPs. You visited my site, after all, didn't you? Does 64.94.151.187 look familiar? I have more. Think about that if you decide to harass that fellow in Jerusalem via phone. I will be the first to consult him on how to file a formal complaint with the police (I happen to volunteer in the Civil Guard). The "Jewish country" and US have signed agreements just for such cases.

    Vlad--



    You fat fucking piece of shit! Why didn't you tell us you were involved
    with the Al-Quaida network of terrorist cells in the United States? We would
    have understood! And arrested you, granted, but what kind of American are
    you?



    Your years in the Navy (all eight of them) ought to have taught you a
    little patriotism. Maybe it was the constant hazing with coin-filled socks
    by your fellow enlisted, or the constant write-ups by the officers, that led
    to a bitterness too intense for most to taste. Maybe. But if that wasn't it,
    the dishonorable discharge for obesity and latent homosexuality probably put
    you over the top. Who knew a military career could lead to hating the United
    States of America so much that you'd aid Osama bin Laden and his army of
    fanatics in bringing our economy to its knees.



    Of course, it's possible it wasn't just your military career's string of
    embarrassments over the years that led to your rash America-hating
    decisions. Perhaps it was your mental health. It's no mystery to anyone
    anymore that you have a martyr complex, chronic (or "major," as you call it)
    depression, psychotic delusions of persecution (which lead to actual
    persecution), and anti-social disorder. If it were me with the string of
    divorces, restraining order filed by my own children, or the job record
    longer than the Mississippi, I'd be in a therapists office or on pills or
    something. And if none of that worked, I'd kill myself (hint, hint).
    I imagine the feeling that never being able to succeed breeds would work its
    way into anyone's skull. I mean, after the second wife I would have bought a
    plane ticket to Yemen. You're on wife #4, and on top of that (listen for the
    rafters breaking) she weighs 400 fucking pounds.



    Well, here's my wish to you that you get what you deserve-- which is
    Osama bin Laden and a dozen of his most well-hung, bearded, filthy Muslim
    terrorist commandos pumping their huge circumcised cocks in and out of every
    orifice of your bloated, sweating body. And, of course, I hope that you
    break your jaw on Osama bin Laden's bucking love-bazooka and then choke to
    death on his deluge of Islamic semen and go straight to the lowest pit of
    Hell positioned directly under Satan's squatting haunches for all of
    eternity.

    color are always changing!!! I am origionaly from Detroit, MI. But I moved
    here to Joliet from Missouri. I've lived all over the Chicago area in
    general. You get the picture. Oh, and just for all you ignorant bastards out
    there who don't like "femme" guys, you won't like me. If you couldn't tell
    by the pic above, yes, I act like a fag. I'm a queen, The Queen to be exact,
    a flamer, you name it, I've been called it. I am who I am, and I'm not
    ashamed or embarassed. And I will not censor or change myself for anyone or
    anything. So if you can't deal with that, I'm sure you can't deal with me.

    Cher, Cher, and more Cher. Cher is my idol, my hero, my god, my everthing. I
    love her so much. She has had such an impact on my life. Along with Linda
    Hamilton. They are beyond fierce. So yes, music and movies are a big part of
    what I'm about. I'm a pop princess when it comes to music. Cher of course,
    Geri Halliwell (ex Ginger Spice), Madonna, the A*Teens, and Tina Turner.
    When it comes to movies, I worked at a video rental store for three years so
    I've seen just about every one. But I usually see movies for who is in them,
    not what they are about. You see some pretty bad movies that way, but a lot
    of really amazing, interesting ones that you wouldn't have seen otherwise.

    My best friend, my other half, my life, my soul, my everthing, William Scott
    Lockwood. I love you more than you will ever know.

    Nope. (I saw that diary this morning.) Anne Marie doesn't have a k5
    account (and I've updated her /. userbio to reflect it). As near as I can
    tell, it was registered by the same person who registered CmdrTaco on k5
    -- at least the garbage on the user page is consistent between the two.
    Anyone who wants to point out the inconsistencies is welcome (I'll
    refrain). Do you suppose if I <b>harass rusty</b> he'll give me the 'Anne Marie'
    account?... He is known to be troll-friendly....

    For now, I only post on k5 under "cp", though I have a 3k-range account
    I'm holding in reserve in case a low uid# is ever needed to win a penis
    contest. Technically, "Trivia Contest" was mine since I'm the idiot who
    started that idea (and it's wasted at least some of rusty's morning,

  83. By MV - Why Scott Lockwood Sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As quite possibly the only member of the old-school Slashdot trolls to ever actually attempt a serious and meaningful conversation with Mr. Lockwood (it worked, briefly), I feel compelled to comment on this.

    That Geekizoid is an inanity is beyond dispute. That it is what it is almost entirely because of Mr. Lockwood is also beyond dispute. That Mr. Lockwood has, furthermore, contributed substantially to the deterioration of every site to which he has ever posted, save only those which were beyond redemption before he ever saw them (a category which arguably includes Slashdot), I will not dispute. That all of this, along with the other charges leveled against him, proves that Mr. Lockwood sucks, I will not dispute.

    The real question behind all this, though, is not whether Mr. Lockwood sucks, but why Mr. Lockwood sucks. One might say that it does not matter, noting, by analogy, that one does not psychoanalyze a rabid dog, but instead simply puts it out of its misery. But it does matter, for in his own odd and frightening way, Scott Lockwood is Everyman. If you do not understand him, you do not understand anyone, probably including yourself.

    Everyone, seemingly, detests Mr. Lockwood. Given that he had been married four times before he turned 30, this "everyone" may well include three ex-wives (last I heard, we're still waiting for his inevitable fourth divorce). From various anecdotes he has let drop over the years, there are a variety of real-life acquaintances, co-workers, and blood relatives in this category as well. So clearly, this is not just an online phenomenon; Mr. Lockwood is not a caring, sensitive man who lets off steam late at night by flaming people on weblogs. He is like this all the time. It is not a pose. It is the real Scott Lockwood, at 200 proof.

    Mr. Lockwood himself is not unaware of this. He knows (and wishes it were not so) that dislike follows him around like the odor of alcohol trails after a drunk. But he has no idea why this is so. He knows it has to do with his abrasive and temperamental demeanor; he knows that his argumentative and self-righteous comments, and his complaints of being mistreated, win him no friends. But the connection between the cause and the effect, and the difference between his conduct and most other people's, escapes him. He has given up hope of understanding or improving the situation; he expects that it will continue, without change, for the rest of his life.

    Mr. Lockwood does not understand that all of these things are symptomatic of a malaise that underlies his entire life. It is a condition that he was very nearly born with, and one which victimizes nearly all people to some degree. Most of us are not nearly as bad off as Mr. Lockwood; but there are some that have much more severe cases than him. Many rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals fall into that latter category. But even those of us who merely think ourselves better or smarter than everyone else, or who consider ourselves fit to decide what is right for everyone else, or who mock others for what they believe, are victims of this condition to some degree. I include myself in this; I do not claim (yet) to be speaking from a perspective completely outside the state of disease.

    Mr. Lockwood's problem, to put it simply, is that he perceives the universe to be antagonistic to him. He has divided the universe into Self and Other, and decided that these two are eternal antagonists. Everything is his enemy; every action that anyone takes (other than to praise him), he perceives as some sort of attack, and he retaliates accordingly. He is convinced, although probably only subconsciously, that his life is a war in which he stands alone against all the forces of the universe. It is, in essence, the ultimate in paranoia.

    As I wrote above, nearly everyone shares this condition to some extent. Many serial killers operate on the principle that, life being a never-ending battle that they will ultimately lose, they should take as many of the "enemy" with them as they can before they fall. But even ordinary people mostly act on analogous principles. Many people exploit the world around them in destructive or insensitive ways, or mistreat their fellow humans needlessly. This is all a consequence of defining the Other as an enemy; and this, in turn, is based on the fundamental error of dividing the universe into Self and Other.

    What we all (Mr. Lockwood included) should strive for is an end to this division, which is really only a matter of mental habits, not an a priori property of existence. It derives from the infant's perception that part of what he perceives obeys his will and sends him sensory input (Self), and the rest does not (Other). The antagonism between these two hypothesized entities derives from the instinctive desire on the child's part to impose his will on everything; Other does not do what he wants, and is therefore the enemy. And so the infant makes the fundamental error that haunts him, in most cases, for the rest of his life.

    This is what makes Mr. Lockwood tick. It is probably also what makes you tick. Think about that carefully before flaming him simply because his case is a bit worse than yours -- if indeed you are better off.

    If he's not a real person (craig?), then he's doing a good job of hiding it. If I had a geographical breakdown of known USian trolls, then I could assure myself that it wasn't one of them and therefore someone unique.

    On the topic of vladinator:
    "as far as VLADINATOR is concerned there is a story behind that, but i am still in the process of putting all the details together but the story will be told. i dont REALLY think that he is a communist i just like to say that because it bugs him. but there is a REASON for the fued and i'll be revealing it."

    Which just sounds like he's dicking around with vlad. But in the other emails, the tone changes to "and do not listen to vladinator, there is no telling what he might do." and "but DO NOT listen to vladinator!! the man is pure evil"

    When I myself (with gbd's permission) dicked around with Vlad for trying to steal gbd's account by successfully impersonating gbd to Vlad (just to confuse Vlad, mostly), gbd replied:

    "actually this is going to sound SILLY but could you let vladinator know that you're just joking and are not really me (george), i plan on explaining things better here in the NEAR FUTURE but that will only work with things as HONEST as POSSIBLE."

    which sounds like it'll be fun.

    On the subject of "the trolls", gbd said:

    "anyway please don't give this mail address out to the trolls, like i said earlier i DON'T want them flooding me with spam and stuff which is why i am trying to do this as PRIVATE as i possibly can"

    which as I've said, I'm respecting.

    If anyone has any questions for him, I could probably put them to him.

The only thing it has going against it is an annoying misspelling of "K/Clan" in KKK for good measure.

    Indeed, whimsy is an open account (for posting whimsical diaries) whose password is 'whimsy'. I've contributed some diaries (principally, "I was there watching the world go by" and "How to calculate your social security income") and so have felt free to abuse the account for comment posting in Anne Marie stories. My guess is the other whimsy poster is tewl, since she posted something about "oh, I didn't realize annemarie=cp" in k5tt a while back.

    I share your incredulity. Anyone who reads through k5tt would know the truth. Anyone who suspected could do a search on my (cp's) comments and see I only post in anne marie's stories. Oh well. It's fun to see rusty defend me.

    that particular machine runs a custom rolled distro of Red Hat 6.2 and has been known to be very reliable, and have mild issues from updates. every one of the holes it covers has some sort of workaround, which those admins have probably employed already.

    i'd like to take this opportunity to complement the Cobalt Raq Users List members as well. without people like bruce timberlake, jeff lasman, steve werby (a /. contributor) and a whole host of others (can't name everyone) the raq has a vibrant community of admins willing to help even the newbiest of owners.

    my machine runs on a lovely 64-bit mipsel processor from MIPS and is one of the dutch (sun bought cobalt a while back, it started on the other side of the pond) original models. they are tremendously power efficient, quiet and dependable boxen. mine uses a dinosauric 2.0 kernel and modified red hat 5.1 , and runs php 4.1.2/mysql like a champ.

    not only that, but the cobalt raq IS a web appliance. In other words, its not really meant to do all that out of the box (back then anyway). today's raqs run a full gamut of oss and free software, and come pre-installed with everything you need as a webmaster.

    it is an oustanding machine for NT admins to learn how to switch over, with the cushion of a working system to learn from.

    yes, sun doesn't always get it right, but they put their backs into it so to speak, and it is not unusual for a Cobalt engineer to post solutions (even unofficial ones) to the list.

      My only real gripes with it was that it was awfully hard to get a lot of stuff to compile (there was only ever one version of OpenSSH which would build cleanly, and getting a new version of gcc going was a real pain) and although it was perfectly adequate for PHP and MySQL and the usual Apache stuff (oh, and PHP didn't work out of the box either, it died with a floating point exception without patching) it was HORRIBLY slow for Perl and Perl cgi scripts. If you had a single "use" Perl statement in your perl script, the Perl script would take 3 to 4 seconds to start using 100% CPU. I never did find a fix for that problem.

Cobalt has a horrid history of providing security updates for their products. Sun's purchase didn't really improve that by any appreciable margin.

For the MIPS stuff, NetBSD is the only real answer if you want to stay current and secure.

    [county] I can't think how it could be improved.
    [bc] that's pretty much why I like it. What makes it tolerable is that a lot of the time, you can't really tell which is which
    [county] For example, I quite like my online relationship with luisa.
    [bc] serious? or bullshit? serious fight? bullshit fight? confession or or bullshit? fight? mixing it up to cause a fight? Who can tell.
    [county] It's all fighting mixed with lies and truths.
    [bc] I hope ubu has extensive logs of #kuro5hin
    [bc] actually, do you, county?
    [bc] going back a year or so?
    [county] Well, I log whenever I'm in there.
    [bc] I wish to find something
    [county] I should point out that I've only been online for a month or so.
    [bc] yes, but I understand you are friendly with someone who was here before, it was just on the offchance he gave you his logs
    [county] Well, I have #k5 logs going back over a year, yes.
    [bc] what size are they when zipped up would you guess?
    [bc] nothing vast, right? not 50mb or something absurd?

    [dmg] whassup bc
    [Sylvain] hey dmg
    [bc] not much
    [dmg] hey sylvain
    [bc] I just watched "contact" dmg, which has led me to believe I need faith in my life.
    [county] I have a bit over 100mb of #k5 logs, bc.
    [bc] em probably hates that film, for its inclusion of arecibo and the airbrushing out of native 'Ricans, only mentioned in passing for their superstitious beliefs about the telescope
    [bc] crap, that's loads county
    [bc] bugger it
    [dmg] contact ? Is that with whatshername from silence of th e lambs
    [Sylvain] superstitious beliefs indeed
    [bc] yes dmg
    [dmg] I dont like her voice
    [Sylvain] the visiting scientists don't leave ALL that much money as they think
    [county] Silence, dmg.
    [county] She is my infatuation of the moment.
    [bc] yes. She was mine first though
    [bc] I spent the film marvelling at her vulnerability
    [county] I liked her before you watched the film, bastard!
    [dmg] you would like "the accused" then...
    [dmg] she is more vulnerable in that.
    [dmg] I just cannot stand her voice
    [bc] She only came to my notice during the film, really. She fits the archetype that I like in women, so it can be said that I have always liked her, as long as I have been alive.
    [dmg] eurrgh
    [county] Her voice, or her accent?
    [dmg] her voive
    [dmg] voice
    [dmg] it just annoysh me
    [county] I never found it annoying.
    [county] hmm.
    [dmg] itsh sho annoying
    [bc] I like it. It seems to have a nice burr

    [bc] I'm always nice :\
    [dmg] trillian can connect to msn ?
    [dmg] wow!
    [dmg] I never realised that.

    [me0w] bc, please keep in mind that she is only 17
    [dmg] women come and go.
    [county] dmg, I loved her!
    [county] And bc stole her :(
    [dmg] those are the breaks.
    [dmg] bc is irresistible to women.
    [dmg] he is like Sam Sloan in that respect
    * Sylvain looks at a list of ebay sections, notices "charity"
    [county] Yeah. And when I cut his hands and feet of, burn his face off with acide, and leave him to die, those will be the breaks, eh?
    [dmg] well yes.
    [county] "acid"
    [dmg] bc takes full responsibility for his actions.
    [bc] [censored]: LoL AWW U SHOULDA!!
    [dmg] he is an anarcho-capitalist libertarian
    * bc ROFL
    [dmg] who was this woman anyway ?
    [dmg] she cannot have been in love with you if she let bc steal her away
    [county] me0w's SO's sister.
    [bc] county, I asked to speak to her first
    [bc] so I didn't steal her at all
    [bc] she is verrry drunk
    [county] I thought of it first, bc, but my intoxication is slowing down my typing.
    [Sylvain] bc: i don't think that will appease county's perception of entitledness.
    [county] Ask her for naked pictures of Jin Wicked, bc.
    [dmg] I have some of those
    [county] Yeah? Lucky you.
    [dmg] she keeps crapflooding my mailbox with them
    [dmg] attention-seeker.
    [county] She's a pain, in that respect.
    [county] And every other respect.
    [dmg] its like,
    [county] With no respect.
    [dmg] stop spamming me with nude photos.
    [dmg] If I wanted to see that sort of thing I would get a girlfriend.
    [county] I want to see it, and I can't get a girlfriend.
    [county] You're attractive, confident, and wordly.
    [Sylvain] dmg: you'd get a girlfriend to see nude *photos*?
    [county] I'm a geeky pud.
    [dmg] no if I wanted to see nude women
    [dmg] Id get a girlfriend
    [county] Or you'd just sleep around. Slut.
    [dmg] aha the old double standard
    [county] Not all nude women were created equal, though.
    [dmg] we are all equal in the eyes of Allah (SWT) apart from the Infidels
    *** dmg is now known as Abu_Nidal
    [county] There's only one girl I want to see naked, actually.
    [bc] damn
    [bc] she's too drunk to realise that when I say I'm living under a glacier, I'm joking :\
    * me0w giggles
    *** Abu_Nidal is now known as dmg
    [dmg] Scotland is an icy barren wasteland though, bc
    [me0w] time for showering
    [dmg] she could be forgiven
    [Sylvain] bc maybe that's not drunkenness.
    [bc] also, she speaks like a black Londoner with hyper estuary english
    [Sylvain] it's perhaps stupidity augmented by adolescence and drunkenness.
    [dmg] hold on one moment. if she is 17 and drunk, is she not guilty of an offence ????
    [Sylvain] nope.
    [dmg] Should not we be reporting her to the authorities
    [dmg] ???
    [dmg] or the person who supplied the alcohol
    [bc] LOL
    [Sylvain] somebody else is
    [dmg] In the UK the alcohol age is 5
    [dmg] for consumption in the home
    [county] You must be kidding.
    [dmg] how enlightened compared to our other stupid laws.
    [dmg] no, its 5
    [dmg] seriously
    [county] Why have an age at all?
    [dmg] Ill find a web page if I can to PROVE it
    [county] Yeah, because web pages are always right!
    [bc] she's away now
    [bc] [censored]: BywebYE!!
    [bc] which is sort of a relief
    [bc] hehe
    [county] I bet you got lots of fantastic drunken cybersex ]:(
    [bc] don't be revolting county
    [bc] I am a people person
    [dmg] http://www.icap.org/pdf/report4updated.pdf
    [bc] people interest me, and I like to find out all about them
    [bc] there is no other motivation
    [county] I'm not going to try to read through a pdf in this condition.
    [dmg] one moment
    [dmg] fucking cut-n-paste doesn't work
    [county] I think I'd like another salami sandwish
    [dmg] In bars and off-licensed premises the MDA and MPA are 18. The MPA for
    [dmg] beer and cider is 16 when purchased for consumption with meals
    [dmg] (except when in a bar). Children over five may consume alcoholic
    [dmg] beverages at home with their parent's consent.
    [bc] pdf sucks
    [dmg] basically if you have cool parents you can get pissed once you start infant school
    [dmg] but if you are over 18 and want to drink after 11pm, you are shit out of luck
    [dmg] its a contradiction to be sure...
    [Sylvain] there are some exceptions to alcohol laws here in USia IIRC
    [Sylvain] e.g. it's allowed to give a child some wine if required by a religious ritual
    [dmg] * In 19 states alcohol consumption by youth under 21 is not specifically
    [dmg] illegal.
    [dmg] ** Exceptions to the 21 law in some states include possession for
    [dmg] religious purposes when accompanied by a parent, spouse or legal
    [dmg] guardian; medical reasons; in private clubs or establishments; in the
    [dmg] course of lawful employment by a duly licensed manufac
    [Sylvain] e.g. catholic communion frequently involves a bit of wine.
    [bc] I remember when I first got drunk
    [bc] I thought "I want to spend the rest of my days in this condition"
    [bc] it was a revelation
    [bc] I think I have found my faith already
    [dmg] I was about four when I first got drunk. on Babycham believe it or not. My mum did not realise it was alcoholic :-)
    *** Sylvain changes topic to '[ bc] I remember when I first got drunk || [ bc] I thought "I want to spend the rest of my days in this condition"'
    [bc] I had a good swig of scotdch when I was 6 months old and got drunk
    [bc] that was quite impressive. I saw the glass of double scotch, grasped it in two hands, and swigged it right down
    [bc] well, I can't in truth remember if it got be drunk, or anything about it at all, but I'm sure it must've
    [dmg] thats pretty funny
    [dmg] you could have died however.
    [Sylvain] he wouldn't have understood it.
    [bc] nah, I took it like a baby
    [Sylvain] no trauma for him
    [Sylvain] what's the problem with dying when you're a perfectly innocent being?
    [Sylvain] it's only when we grow old and come to appreciate that life is valuable that we have a problem with it
    [county] I am a perfectly innocent being.
    [dmg] what about original sin ?
    [Sylvain] 16:31 [ county] I WANT A DRUNK GIRL TO TORMENT SO MUCH
    [bc] you'll note he didn't actually do it, em
    [bc] county has control of his desires
    [county] I actually don't even think I wrote that.
    * Sylvain sings: Nwel a rive pou nou pa pedi lespwa nou!
    [county] The wind has really picked up here.
    [county] It's almost violent.

    *** dmg has quit IRC (Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com))
    [county] What's that, bc?
    [Sylvain] bc: wow.
    [bc] it's an excellent rum
    [Sylvain] how much was it?
    [bc] a bloody fortune
    [Sylvain] fuck. the oldest rum i've ever had is 12 years.
    [county] Ah, a rum.
    [Sylvain] any words on how good it is beyond "excellent"?
    [county] The oldest rum I've had was also 12 years.
    [bc] it tastes nice. Older rums seem to become more whiskyish, somehow, it is hard to explain
    [bc] much more complex
    [county] Now you just need some forty year old coke.
    [bc] it is aged in the tropics, too
    [bc] apparantly that means it ages more rapidly
    [bc] at about 3x the rate of a spirit aged in, say, canada
    [bc] anyway, I don't know. It tastes very nutty, somehow
    [Sylvain] but how expensive was it?
    [bc] em: £10,000
    [bc] http://www.canoe.ca/LifewiseFoodWine01/0314_winewe d_par.html
    [Sylvain] yeah, right, like you have 15,795.99 USD

    [county] That's horrible.

    [iat] bah, we all want to meet you

    [bc] hehe. I'll come down sooner or later
    [bc] he was talking about how you met her on match.com (!)
    [bc] which reminds me, I have to search march.com insanely to find her
    [iat] yeah, it's either that or start fucking my secretary. i saw it as the lesser of two evils
    [me0w] bc, And how was she?
    [bc] there really can't be that many overweight, red headed, goth girls from london on mach.com
    [iat] you'd be surprised
    [county] No more than twenty or so, I'd guess.
    [bc] me0w: very drunk. Spoke in estuary english. Seemed good natured though, through the disgraceful mists of her underage drinking
    [iat] btw, you forgot moustachiod
    [iat] otoh, there are no biologists with pds living in edinburgh on match

    [county] Why on earth did you even have anything to do with her, iat?

    [iat] county: i wanted to get my redhead fetish out of the way

    [iat] i wasn;t sure if the "ginger pubes" thing was a liberal myth
    [me0w] bc, I think there is a picture of her in my gallery
    [iat] of course i'd steal her, i'm a stud
    [bc] heh me0w. She seemed nice. Drunk for sure, drunk as a Lord, it was terrifically amusing
    [me0w] bc, Unfortunately her typing doesn't get much better

    [Sulla] iat: I forget. I never look at it, and it isn't "my collection"
    [me0w] bc, She was drunk.
    [iat] whose collection is it then?
    [me0w] bc, But when she is sober I often have a dificult time understanding what she is saying.
    [Sulla] it is me0ws and I put it there cos perdida wanted it for some story relating to 80's bdsm pornography for her site
    [me0w] bc, she likes to type in some sort of sms speak

    [county] I'm wanking.

    [county] All these photographs of naked women tied up!
    [county] It's paradise, from my perspective.
    [iat] i love smoking
    [iat] i just wish it didn't cost so much
    [bc] I thought you were a health freak?
    [iat] not these days
    [bc] good move
    [bc] welcome to the "cool set"
    [iat] the pressures of work have turned me into a nicotine-fuelled anorexic
    [county] I have never, ever smoked.
    [county] I probably should.
    [bc] you'd like it
    [iat] i have never, ever smoked crack
    [bc] everybody with an addictive personality should have many addictions
    [county] I don't have an addictive personality.
    [bc] You do. Oh god you do.
    [bc] You are always looking for a hit
    [county] Explain!
    [county] I'm addicted to little.
    [county] Just alcohol and that girl from work's ass.
    [bc] you don't just talk to people. You have angles, you attack and duck and weave, you seek the high of torture and humiliation of others in everything you say
    [county] No :(
    [county] Not others, women.
    [county] I only want to hurt females.
    [county] Please keep that straight.

    [county] My motivation for tormenting vlad is entriely different than my motivation for tormenting, say, luisa.
    [bc] me0w, wear leather and stuff
    [bc] I don't know
    [county] me0w, dress chastly.
    [county] It's incredibly sexy.
    [bc] me0w, wear a denim skirt with a sort of white lacery around the pockets that looks lovely and homely, and a black t-shirt above that is slinky and just has strap things over the shoulders so it is more of a dress, really.
    [bc] let your hair hang down forward over your bosom, to each side, following the contours perfectly
    [me0w] bc, I don't own any denim skirts
    [me0w] and I only have a leather corset
    [bc] hmmmn
    [county] I told you, me0w.
    [iat] bc: what happened to your general knwoledge bot?
    [county] Dress chastly.
    [county] It will draw guys like you can't believe.
    [bc] wear a turqoise top, that is very close fitting and very slightly see-through, revealing a white bra underneath on the edge of awareness, and making men think you are less calculating and more genuine than those other dolled up girls. Underneath, wear black trousers that are practical looking though ladylike, covered in pockets

    [me0w] bc, I don't own a turqoise top

    [county] ]:(
    [me0w] wait wait
    [me0w] I found a white bra

    [bc] okay, do you have any slightly see-through tops at all?
    [county] Oh god, she looked lovely in it.
    [bc] what we are going for here is the thrown-on, unsophisticated but lovely look
    [me0w] I have a whole collection of see through wear
    [me0w] but I don't think it would be appropriate for the places I'm going this evening
    [county] "see-through" should be hyphenated.
    [iat] bc "the man" doensn't care about text files
    [bc] bugger appropriate. Look like a lost fawn in the wilderness
    [bc] he does, iat, more than any other media
    [iat] approprIATe interrupts my mp3s. plz stop tnx
    [me0w] these pants require a thong
    [bc] my filesharing network will have terrorist plans, blueprints, and government leaks and such
    [bc] and books
    [iat] no-one will use it for anything other than war3zing books
    [bc] I will provide that service. It's more than a filesharing network, I intend it to be a peer-2-peer knowledge base sort of deal
    [bc] you can do context searches and it will return a few paeges or a chapter from a book say
    [bc] and it will allow a wikipedia type self editing bit
    [iat] how long have you been programming?
    [bc] but everything will be peer-2-peer, the whole encyclopaedia
    [iat] aargh, not wikipedia!
    [bc] not like that, but that's the model. Imagine a wikipaedia not located on any machine, but spread across a peer-2-peer netowrk. it could hold the Truth, regardless of what government or corporate law tries
    [bc] it's a powerful concept for political and informational insurgency
    [iat] there is no TRUTH
    [bc] you state that like it is a truth
    [bc] well, it's not!
    [iat] of course
    [iat] there is not truth... even to say that is not true... but to say its not true is also not true
    [bc] it won't hold any particular truth, many truths and narratives
    [bc] it shall be thoroughly decentralised and beyond the control of anyone, that is the point
    [county] Quite right, bc. There are many truths, in this modern age.
    [bc] must smoke
    [iat] why not smoke then?
    [bc] I'm ahead of you, iat
    [iat] i've smoked 19 since 7:30 and have just 1 left :(
    [bc] wow that's lots
    [county] are there just 20 in a pack/:?
    [iat] yeah, how many did you think there were?
    [bc] yes, unless you get Rothman's Royals
    [iat] oh yeah
    [bc] which have 24, for some reason
    [county] iat, I've never smoked.
    [iat] or 10 packs, but you can't get those in usia
    [bc] just think iat, if you had got Royals, you'd have 5 left now
    [iat] heh
    [me0w] I have a favour to ask ...
    [iat] but they wouldn't taste half as nice as mmy marlboro lights
    [bc] what's that me0w?
    [bc] yuk
    [me0w] bc, I need an opinion
    [bc] I don't like Marlboro lights. I'm a Dunhill man
    [me0w] bc, you know what my site currently looks like right?
    [bc] yes
    [bc] yes I do
    [iat] dunhill?
    [me0w] bc, ok ... do you like that format or this one: http://violate.me.uk/blog/
    [bc] I browse it every 20 minutes
    [iat] dunhill are for poor people, eight?
    [iat] erm, right even
    [bc] they are not for poor people
    [bc] just the opposite
    [iat] heh
    [iat] my marlboro light costs me 4.70 a pack
    [iat] beat that
    [bc] this one has a more traditional bloggy feel me0w, but won't it mean the front page won't change as radically so often? I suppose I like it better in that you can see the previous articles, but less in that the front page doesn't periodically change radically, so that you don't know what will appear. It's prolly more sensible though
    [bc] also, the right hand side seems wider somehow
    [bc] mine cost £4.95
    [bc] suck it!
    [bc] and that's without inflated london prices
    [iat] bah
    [bc] it must be the pics making the right wider
    [iat] that's stupid
    [me0w] bc, the pics do make it wider
    [iat] are dunhills those ones that have the wide packets that don't fit in your pocket?
    [me0w] bc, this new system is a modifed blogger
    [bc] those are dunhill internationals, iat, which I often get too, and are about £5.40
    [iat] i know a gay guy who smokes the methol ones of those
    [iat] draw your own conclusions
    [bc] I see. Well, me0w, it makes the site less characterful and "homebrew", but probably more sensible and easier to navigate
    [bc] depends what you want I suppose
    [bc] iat, menthols of any stripe are for the less manly
    [iat] heh. yeah
    [bc] same as marlboro lights
    [bc] female student's smoke, that
    [iat] bah
    [iat] marlboro lights are for those people who smoke but dont want to admit it to themselves
    * momocrome has a crush on Siân Phillips
    [iat] which does cover many female students i guess
    [bc] you should have a commenting system me0w
    [bc] what an ego-site then!
    [bc] who, momocrome?
    [bc] she sounds suspiciously welsh
    [bc] I hope you haven't started liking welsh people
    [momocrome] welch
    [bc] I might have known it :(
    [bc] poor momocrome
    [iat] "mr blue sky, please tell us why you had to hide away for so long!"
    [bc] ??
    [iat] i'm singing
    [bc] I thought it was some sort of prayer
    [iat] no, it's ELO
    [bc] oh
    [bc] Electric Light Orchestra?
    [iat] bah, i'm in danger of losing my lightweightedness
    [iat] i've had 8 bottles of stella and am not feeling tired :(
    [iat] yeah, electric light orchestra
    [iat] i've always wondered how the words fit togeth in that phrase
    [bc] you should try yourself spirits now that beer doesn't provide the kick it once did
    [iat] is it: electric... light orchestra, or electric light.... orchestra?
    [bc] look at county, he was drinking spirits insanely, now he is probably unconscious
    [iat] i don't like spirits, they give me a hangover
    [bc] try a clean ethanol-only spirit then
    [bc] like vodka
    *** Lumpen (~guest@cloaked.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #adequacy
    [iat] an "ethanol only" spirit is surely pure ethanol
    [bc] I mean, a spirit without any methanol
    [bc] methanol is bad for hangovers
    [bc] wine has loads of it
    [iat] do they normally put methanol in spirits?
    [bc] especially red wine
    [bc] and the murkier spirits
    [bc] iat, methanol is a natual alcohol of the fermentation process
    [bc] there's usually much less of it than ethanol, but most drinks have it to varying amounts
    [iat] is it? methanol is just a shorter carbon chain right?
    [iat] can you get pissed off methanol?
    [bc] I think so. Maybe longer, damned if I know
    [bc] yes you can
    [bc] it's an alcohol
    [bc] but it gives you a much worse hangover
    [momocrome] you'll go blind instantly when you get drunk off methanol
    [iat] methanol is CH2OH from memory
    [bc] which is why booze that has more of it gives you a worse hangover
    [iat] ethanl is CH3CH20H
    [bc] but generally they have little, but still enough for headaches
    [bc] wine for example, I think only 5% of the alcohol in it is methanol
    [bc] I forget, but a small amount
    [iat] i'm fine off white wine, but red wine gives me shokcing headaches the morning after, as does guiness
    [iat] oh dear, craig's gone mad again
    [bc] red wine is the worst
    [bc] iat: where?
    [iat] 20721
    [bc] I must look
    [bc] I sort of provoked him
    [iat] was it you stirring shit bc?
    [momocrome] i have done my part as well
    [iat] shame on you, vlad must be eliminated
    [bc] I did a post attacking craig, yes
    [bc] saying he should fantasise about he petrified virgin mary
    [bc] and iat, goddamnit, phoning up vlad and stuff is totally over the line
    [bc] and he's an insane fucker!
    [iat] heh, what about garden gnomes?
    [bc] no not me
    [momocrome] it is actually illegal behaviour
    [momocrome] but more than that, it is supid
    [momocrome] suuupid
    [momocrome] stupid
    [bc] damned right
    [bc] and not only that, the fucker posted all our names to the sid
    [momocrome] this isn't trolling, it is thug-like cruelty
    [bc] fuck him!
    [iat] informal #adequacy poll. should iat have another drink?
    [bc] yes momocrome
    [bc] and yes iat
    [iat] 1) no, he should sleep
    [momocrome] yes, iat
    [momocrome] 2) yes, iat
    [iat] 2) no, he has no more fags, and booze with no fage makes iat sad
    *** Lumpen is now known as FcmfAC
    [iat] 2) yes, he still has too much booze to fit it into his cupboards
    [iat] 4) yes, he's still not pissed
    [iat] 5) yes, why not:?
    [momocrome] pop up to the corner chop and procure a acket of fags
    [iat] which one?
    [iat] corner shop is not only closed. but it's on the common council estate
    [momocrome] do you have a crowbar?
    [FcmfAC] Ah, well.
    [iat] if i had some rizlas, i could smoke my fag butts again

    [momocrome] microsoft MSN has parental controls with age-specific settings like 'preteen' and 'teen'.

    [shoeboy] bah
    [First_Incision] "trainers", there's a UKism for you.

    [Sulla] my shoes are black, leather, and constricting. They punish my feet, covering them in blisters and blood. I deserve it, though, and it is morally improving
    *** Lumpen has quit IRC (Quit: Please turn www.adequacy.org back on!)

    [county] They're stern, though.

    [bc] fucking agony, they are
    [First_Incision] mine are like walking on pillows
    [county] I've walked over five miles a day in mine without blisters, just soreness.
    [county] When they were brand new, though, they caused blisters.
    [county] I had to break them, though! And they had to break me.
    [county] It was very sexual.
    [bc] I do more than 5 miles usually, and by God, every step is pain
    [bc] every step sends shockwaves of sheer agony around my foot and up my leg
    [county] Why don't you get more comfortable shoes?
    [bc] and after my ritual 5000 steps every day, I feel like a new man. I feel improved. I feel like the sin has been flushed out.

    [First_Incision] http://www.panama-jack.com/havanajoe/INGLES/colecc ion/categories/men/adventure/pages/classic1.htm
    [county] Anyway, I'm going to tell my story about female cruelty on the bus.
    [bc] to bear
    [county] I get on the bus with four other girls, three of them are together.
    [county] I mean with four girls.
    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday
    [bc] girl/girls
    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.
    [Yanni] I will sooth your soul.
    [Yanni] I am not fat!
    [county] 225 lbs is pretty damn fat.
    [Yanni] http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~kim/yanni.GIF
    [bc] marry me?
    [Yanni] I am intensely well muscled, by nature.
    [Yanni] and at a firm 6'2", can hardly be counted amongst the fatties
    [county] I'm 6'2", though.
    [Yanni] you are a bean pole
    [Yanni] 160 lbs?

    [First_Incision] that's anatomically correct? No, I would not hit it. Not even a real woman that looked like that.

    [Yanni] no arms or legs with that
    [county] Oh, no!
    [county] It's wrong that they would sell that.
    [county] The whole idea of a fake woman is ridiculous.
    [Yanni] you can buy just the upper torso
    [Yanni] $395 for breasts and shoulders only
    [county] I wonder if they've had any takers at all.
    [First_Incision] yes, county, that is why we are ridiculing it
    [county] I can't imagine anyone would want it.
    [Yanni] see MPG

    [Yanni] 1.4 MB ]
    [county] Frankly, I'm just not seeing a niche market between masturbation and actual women.
    [county] Those two seem to have the demand pretty much satisfied.
    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.
    [county] I'm having scads of fun falling in infatuation with girls from the bus. I hadn't anticipated this at all, but it's immensely enjoyable.
    [Yanni] for $920 / month, you could afford a fancy enough car to get a bell town beauty

He was right about the rampant censorship happening here. Deleted accounts, IP bans, comments being entirely deleted rather than just hidden, weird stuff going on so that certain comments are visible when not logged in but invisible to logged in users -- this is Democracy? We have proof of all of this, and we're compiling all the evidence we get.


    Anyway, here's the hyena information you requested:


    Female hyenas are virtually indistinguishable from males. Their clitoris is enlarged and extended to form an organ of the same size, shape, and position as the male penis. It can also be erected. Their labia have folded up and fused to form a false scrotum that is not discernibly different in external form or location from the true scrotum of males.


    It even contains fatty tissue forming two swellings easily mistaken for testicles. Authors of the most recent paper on spotted hyenas found the appearance of males and females so close that sex could only be determined with certainty by palpation of the scrotum. Testes could be located in the scrotum of the male compared with soft adipose tissue in the false scrotum of the female.

    Vlad--



    You fat fucking piece of shit! Why didn't you tell us you were involved
    with the Al-Quaida network of terrorist cells in the United States? We would
    have understood! And arrested you, granted, but what kind of American are
    you?



    Your years in the Navy (all eight of them) ought to have taught you a
    little patriotism. Maybe it was the constant hazing with coin-filled socks
    by your fellow enlisted, or the constant write-ups by the officers, that led
    to a bitterness too intense for most to taste. Maybe. But if that wasn't it,
    the dishonorable discharge for obesity and latent homosexuality probably put
    you over the top. Who knew a military career could lead to hating the United
    States of America so much that you'd aid Osama bin Laden and his army of
    fanatics in bringing our economy to its knees.



    Of course, it's possible it wasn't just your military career's string of
    embarrassments over the years that led to your rash America-hating
    decisions. Perhaps it was your mental health. It's no mystery to anyone
    anymore that you have a martyr complex, chronic (or "major," as you call it)
    depression, psychotic delusions of persecution (which lead to actual
    persecution), and anti-social disorder. If it were me with the string of
    divorces, restraining order filed by my own children, or the job record
    longer than the Mississippi, I'd be in a therapists office or on pills or
    something. And if none of that worked, I'd kill myself (hint, hint).
    I imagine the feeling that never being able to succeed breeds would work its
    way into anyone's skull. I mean, after the second wife I would have bought a
    plane ticket to Yemen. You're on wife #4, and on top of that (listen for the
    rafters breaking) she weighs 400 fucking pounds.



    Well, here's my wish to you that you get what you deserve-- which is
    Osama bin Laden and a dozen of his most well-hung, bearded, filthy Muslim
    terrorist commandos pumping their huge circumcised cocks in and out of every
    orifice of your bloated, sweating body. And, of course, I hope that you
    break your jaw on Osama bin Laden's bucking love-bazooka and then choke to
    death on his deluge of Islamic semen and go straight to the lowest pit of
    Hell positioned directly under Satan's squatting haunches for all of
    eternity.

    I am not Chainrust of Adequacy or Slashdot or K5.

    In short, you are dumb. Very very dumb. The next time you decide that you can come to the right conclusions based on an incomplete evidence, please remember the above.

    Oh, and by the way. I have your IPs. You visited my site, after all, didn't you? Does 64.94.151.187 look familiar? I have more. Think about that if you decide to harass that fellow in Jerusalem via phone.

    Hi. I couldn't stay away, so I scrounged up some 'net
    access. Hi.

    I was talking with rusty indirectly about this, last
    night. He was asking me why I wanted k5 Anne Marie's
    nick -- that is, why I wanted to carry that "slashdot
    baggage" over with me to k5, the same way siggy did.
    It's funny, that way. I wanted k5 Anne Marie because
    it's a lovely character troll of mine. Siggy wanted
    "Signal 11" because it's the only way he's ever gotten
    a lot of (any) attention. He's afraid to be just
    Bojay Iverson, and it really comes across.

    [bc] hello
    [me0w] Hi bc
    [bc] hellow me0wsy
    * bc was just in the pub
    [bc] and you know what?
    [me0w] What?
    [bc] a woman in her late forties started coming onto me something dreadful
    [bc] unlike some, I wasn't in the least tempted
    [me0w] Ahhh ... So you had no Mr.Buck temptations ..
    [bc] certainly not :)
    [me0w] Well done!
    [bc] it's not a great achievement, I think these things are in your nature.
    [bc] Either you adore OAP's, or you don't.
    [bc] cool
    [bc] scotland beat south africa at the rugby!
    [me0w] I think though, in Mr. Buck's case, he may have been wearing some good quality Beer Goggles.
    [bc] that's a point. Still, I did have 3 pints, I wasn't entirely sober, but probably not as many Mr Buck. I think alcohol just decreases your reserve, it doesn't make you suddenly find things attractive you don't while sober
    [bc] I mean, if you wake up after a night out with a member of your own sex (for example), it prolly says something
    * bc has some prawns
    [me0w] This is why everyone needs a voice of reason when drinking. I take mine along whenever I am going to be consuming cast quantities of alcohol (the voice of reason is also known as the designated driver).
    [bc] hehe
    [me0w] cast = vast
    [bc] strange, I don't have problems. In fact, I reject much more impressively and fullsomely when drunk than when sober. I don't need no stinkin' voice of reason!
    [me0w] When I am intoxicated I run across a problem .... my tongue feels funny and I like to lick things (people). I need a voice of reason to keep me out of trouble.
    [bc] haha! I remember you mentioning this before. That's an awful affliction, though prolly pretty amusing
    [me0w] And apparently I become quite the mischevious girl and for this I also need the voice.
    [bc] to stop you mixing it up too much? Playing tricks and pranks
    [me0w] And the licking ...
    [bc] this makes you sound like quite the handful when pissed
    [me0w] A giggly handful, yes.
    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why
    [bc] mm that was tasty
    [bc] post-prandial smoke time
    [me0w] enjoy
    * bc wonders whether to watch "contact" on dvd, which he has, but hasn't watched, though he read the book years ago
    [bc] which I liked, I liked the way it was all about revelation, and its validity
    [bc] the woman in it was sort of like a hardcore kurobot at first, you know, utterly logical positivist and materialist and dismissive of anything that can't be proved utterly, of revelation, till it all comes back and bites her when she has her own revelatory experience
    [me0w] I don't think I have ever seen this film.
    [bc] it's supposed to be decent.
    [bc] I think a lot of people hated it, and another lot of people loved it
    [me0w] I will have to add it to my must see list of films.
    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had
    [me0w] I should send flowers to celebrate your relationship.

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger

    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4

    [gurl] oh look@

    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.

    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did
    [gurl] then why build us up so cruelly]?
    [Captain_Tenille] NSA. That's all we would say.
    [Captain_Tenille] er, he
    [county] Come on, bc, give her brother a chance.
    [county] He's trying to turn is life around!
    [county] He's in jail because of ancient history.
    [bc] you're right county. I will bail him right away.
    [county] Good man.
    [county] I'm sure gurl will be very grateful.
    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him
    [county] Still, to be unemployed and mangled in these times is difficult. He'll probably end up on the street.
    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving
    [gurl] and makes piles of money
    [gurl] she wanted only to take care of him
    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.
    [gurl] but he wanted to go drinking and sleep with other women
    [county] I should find a rich, devoted wife.
    [county] Having one could be convenient.
    [gurl] it was the only thing that saved him
    [county] Some guys have all the luck.
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i am sure bc would happily arrange for you to acquire a wealthy wife
    [bc] it's true. There's a lucky sod I know who's wife is a civil engineer making tons of cash. All he does is footer about spending her money on computers and crap. They love each other very much and seem very happy. Sickening, it is.
    [county] Yeah, I need someone to take care of me!
    [county] I'm tired of being responsible.
    [bc] BRB, mobile shop
    [gurl] have a beer
    [gurl] actually, have five or six
    [county] What's a mobile shop?
    [county] Anyway, that's too many beers.
    [gurl] well, however many will intoxicate you
    [gurl] women like to help men in that state
    [county] Haha!
    [county] What nonsense.
    [county] Women hate drunks.
    [gurl] depends on the drunk boy
    [gurl] i find some of them endearing
    [bc] damn it's cold
    [county] Well, what do you expect? Your house was built before heat was invented
    [county] What's a mobile shop, though?
    [bc] I am an endearing drunk boy. My cold reserve melts away, revealing a vulnerable and heartbreakingly fascinating character. I find that women are much more interested in me when drunk, than when sober.
    [county] uh huh
    [bc] county, a shop on wheels that drives around selling things. It parks outside my front door
    [county] What sort of things?
    [bc] in this instance, I got dunhills and Irn Bru, and a bottle of Gin
    [county] So you've gone back to the bottle.
    [county] tsk tsk.
    [bc] all sorts, county. There are many of them, in fact. Soem are mobile butchers, others mobile grocers and fishmongers. This one sells everyday necessities
    [county] Like I said, though, some guys have all the luck. When sober, I'm undesirable. When intoxicated, I'm undesirable in a different way.
    [county] Everyday necessities like dunhills, Irn Bru, and gin.
    [bc] Yup.
    [county] dunhills sound like cigarettes. What's Irn Bru?
    [bc] they sell what's sold most in the local community
    [bc] county: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/irn-bru/index.asp
    [gurl] what's a good poll topick before i hotfoot it elsewhere?
    [bc] poll? hmmn
    [county] I don't think I've ever seen any of that, bc.
    [bc] favourite spirit?
    [gurl] irn bru is only in scotland
    [county] That would be all you can think of.
    [bc] county, well, it is actually illegal in the US, the FDA won't allow it to be sold there
    [bc] so it isn't surprising
    [county] gurl, "Favorite condiment to lick off nipples?"
    [bc] it contains too much iron, or something
    [county] Be sure to include horseradish as an option.
    [wsl3] county: Hot Thai Red Curry
    [bc] it's very very popular in russia though
    [Captain_Tenille] What on earth is it? And why is it illegal?
    [bc] ct, it's just a soft drink. It's illegal cos the FDA don't like it's iron content
    [wsl3] What is?
    [Captain_Tenille] Ah
    [gurl] man, i suppose i am not cut out for daytime drinking
    [gurl] my tummy hurts now
    [wsl3] gurl: Have some nice cock. That should solve the problem, but only if you get all the way down and get the protien suprise at the end.
    [gurl] i don't see how
    [gurl] protein makes my tummy hurt
    [wsl3] They'll cancel each other out.
    [gurl] i somehow doubt this.
    [gurl] i love my diary.
    [wsl3] Nah, I can show you if you want! :-)
    [county] Give up, wsl3. The fact is, you can only score with fatties.
    [wsl3] give it up county, the fact is, I don't care what you think. :-)
    [county] That doesn't make any sense, idiot. I wasn't trying to influence your opinion.
    [bc] I love your diary too, gurl =)))
    [gurl] hehe
    [wsl3] county: Uh huh.
    [gurl] there is nothing wrong with fatties, if they have attractive features
    [gurl] and don't look like useless lumps of crap

    [gurl] oh god
    [county] Vlad's fatties look like useless lumps of crap, gurl.
    [gurl] i HATE those
    [wsl3] county is a useless lump of crap
    [county] These women aren't fat, gurl, they're disgustingly hyper-obese.
    [wsl3] gurl - hate what? Voluptous women?
    [county] 300lbs.
    [gurl] a girl can be voluptuous without being heavy
    [bc] FFA give BBWs TLC and have a GSOH
    [county] A three hundred pound woman isn't voluptuous.
    [county] She's hyper-obese.
    [wsl3] county: I know lots of attractive 300lb women.
    [gurl] no, that's a porker
    [gurl] i don't know any.
    [county] You don't know any!
    [county] You're delusional.
    [wsl3] Depends - what if she's like 6' tall?
    [gurl] and i know some decent looking big girls
    [gurl] then she shouldn't exceed 250
    [wsl3] gurl: Top size?
    [gurl] and that only if she is super muscular
    [wsl3] gurl: Nah - I've seen women as high as 400lbs that I'd do.
    [gurl] well, men are less picky about that
    [county] I'm not.
    [county] I'm not interested in girls much over 150.
    [gurl] well, that leaves the taller ones out
    [gurl] unless they are very slim
    [Captain_Tenille] Tall girls are overrated
    [wsl3] gurl: That depends - in general I don't find a woman attractive under 175 or so unless she is stunningly beautiful and has a personallity to match.
    [Captain_Tenille] *under* 175?
    [gurl] that is a shame for you, wsl3
    [county] I don't much like taller girls, gurl.
    [wsl3] under, yes.
    [gurl] i personally think too many people are heavy
    [county] Much beyond 5'6" is too tall, I think.
    * Captain_Tenille 's gf is 5'
    [wsl3] gurl: I don't find it a shame at all! I have a full, active, loving sex life, thank you very much. :-) lol

    [county] Aye, and there's the rub, bc.
    [gurl] there is no hacking involved!
    [county] It's easier to become beautiful than it is to become interesting or good natured.
    [gurl] it's purely a mechanical issue

    [bc] you are fixing a technical computer device
    [gurl] bof, i am fixing a thingy with serrated wheels

    [gurl] yeah, i guess

    [bc] go there
    [wsl3] lol
    [bc] though I must say, the huge billboard sign at the front puts me off
    [bc] here, they just have a tiny sign
    [bc] I suppose Americans insist on the 25foot billboard treatment
    [county] That's really far away.
    [bc] get the metro then!
    [county] Anyway, going to a pub is way too social.
    [bc] you don't need to talk to anyone
    [bc] clearly, you aren't very familiar with pubs at all
    [bc] they can be profoundly antisocial
    [county] Of course I don't, but I feel odd being out by myself.
    [county] There isn't any point in going out to be anti-social.
    [wsl3] Go nude. That will get some attention.
    [county] Shut up.
    [wsl3] no
    [wsl3] You can forget about that.
    [wsl3] If I'm in front of my computer, and I see something I want to respond to, I will - same as you.
    [county] Shut up, really.
    [wsl3] No.

    [bc] heis in London, that's all I know
    [county] I'm going to go shower.
    [county] When I come back, I'm going to have some booze, a pastrami sandwich, and pour at my innermost hopes and dreams.

    Actually, it's bound to get modded up on its own because: 1) it's controversial but hardly a troll 2) it conforms to k5 groupthink as a topic for discussion and 3) it has jsm's blessing, something none of Anne Marie's previous submissions ever had. The only thing it has going against it is an annoying misspelling of "K/Clan" in KKK for good measure.

    Mostly, I'm just cleansing the k5 pallate for tomorrow's big troll submission: Switzerland has a referendum to give animals human rights (http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2000 /10/08/stifgneur01002.html). Lots of potential, and ideas are welcome. (I already have a link to a story about an Egyptian sacrificial ram chasing its owner off a roof.)

    Hooray for me; I made front page on k5. The vitriol
    is so thick you can cut it with a spoon (or
    something). I don't have time at the moment (and I'm
    waiting for another k5 account to come in the mail...)
    but the idiots have come forward with such force that
    clue-stick beatings must abound or there is no justice
    in this world.

    First priority: make the idiots realize that the only
    reason why they're decrying my story as a troll is
    because they recognize "Anne Marie" as its author.
    The same thing submitted under a different name
    would've been posted or rejected for editorial reasons
    without fanfare. In fact, as standards of trolling
    go, this one wasn't much of one, apart from the
    general inflamatoriness of the topic and the signature
    last paragraph (which I mean every word of). Be sure
    to note siggy's puerility at the bottom of the article

    Slashdot troll FAQ

    1. What do trolls do?

      We post inflammatory, satirical or just plain weird comments on slashdot, aiming to draw attention to ourselves and to distract discussion away from the matter at hand. We use satire, wit, art and other cultural weapons to give fun to the clueful and embarrass the clueless.
      1. What are the characteristics of a good troll?

        A good troll is a statement designed to inflame the passions of a certain type of reader. A troll is a contrary or controversial statement, which attacks a preconception of someone who is likely to read it, causing them to suspend their normal standards of critical thinking, and to fire off a combative response, without thinking that they are being had. This is the "classic" troll, aimed at enticing someone to make a fool of themself.
      2. Are there any other kinds of troll?

        Yes. The "surrealistic" troll is a piece of prose, rambling, comic or just downright weird, inserted into a discussion where it seems at once utterly irrelevant and curiously in place. The common thread linking the types of trolls is that a certain kind of personality (read - far too uptight) gets irrationally annoyed by them.
      3. What are "characters"?

        Some kinds of trollish statement have been proven to work again and again, so naturally, some trolls have taken advantage of this fact to repeat them again and again. Certain individual trolls are more or less identified with certain types of trollish statement, and thus we have the idea of a "character" - a fictitious entity which is supposed to actually hold the views which are expressed in the troll's posts. Some of these characters have distinct personalities and maintain narrative coherence from troll to troll (see the "Microsoft Linux" episode between streetlawyer and DMG); some of them show up expressing the same or similar points of view again and again (the RWM and derivatives).
      4. What are some of the characters?

        The number one maximally 1337 troll character is the RWM; the most established troll, with the most solid track record behind him. Opensource man and his creations is the oldest surreal troll; gnarphlager and auntfloyd also adopt this style. Paranoid Man is getting off the ground, and DMG and streetlawyer have their fans. Mindless Bastard is more of a style of trolling than a character per se. There are lots more people posting trolls than are listed here; these are just the repeating characters.
      5. What is an RWM?

        RWM is the Right Wing Maniac, a character with a hotch-potch of (often mutually incompatible) libertarian, Christian, and Objectivist views, who typically (mis)applies the general principles of his world-view to various slashdot topics. He tends to be keen on referring to people as "socialists", particularly if they consider themselves to be conservatives. Sometimes he's more of a religious nut; sometimes it's more the free market which rings his bell. There is also a Left Wing Maniac with a yen for spouting dialectical materialism, but he hasn't done much recently. It's worth noting that it is very rare to find a RWM troll thread in which at least one participant doesn't agree with most of RWM's views.
      6. What is a DMG?

        DMG is the Dumb Marketing Guy. He claims to have been involved in Linux for "at least four years, since the very beginning", and offers unsolicited "open source" marketing advice on Linux advocacy to the members of the community. He often takes a rather hurt tone in response to the welter of abuse which is the usual response to his advice.
      7. How about the other characters?

        For crying out loud, they ought to be self-explanatory, surely to heck?
      8. What's with the "cheese" thing?

        Buggered if I know. Lots of trolls mention cheese, and seem to indicate that cheese has some sort of significance. Maybe it does.
      9. Why does streetlawyer swear so much?

        Because he had a hard life, dragging himself up from the streets to get his fucken law degree from fucken Hah-vud, OK?
      10. What you said really offended me!

        Well, sorry. But really, nobody cares (see below). You're too easily offended. Now purge the post from your board, log our IP address and go back to drawing your "After Y2K" comic (which is shit, by the way).

    2. What don't trolls do?

      We don't do boring, uncreative shit which just makes slashdot harder to read. We're not into denial of service attacks - they aren't very funny. We're probably harsher opponents of the spam bunch than you are, because anything which encourages people to browse at levels above -1 makes our work harder.
      1. Those cut & pastes which fill up the forums, are those you guys?

        Nope. Nezh.
      2. How about that obscene ASCII art I just saw?

        Nope. Nada.
      3. Thank God you've got nothing to do with "open source Natalie Portman", or "naked and petrified"!

        Errrr, well actually yes we have. Both of those ongoing trolls were written by regulars on the troll forum, and you're not going to find condemnation of them in this FAQ.
      4. What?

        Read them. Untwist your underwear, stop fulminating over the momentary interruption to your terribly important discussion about Slackware and have a look at some of these posts. Open source Natalie Portman was a fine piece of Burroughsian prose and if you don't agree that it was, then you're wrong. The whole "Naked and petrified" thing was an absolute triumph - it provoked a huge amount of reaction, entertainingly interfered with a few people's heads by sexualising the context of slashdot and is still talked about, several months after the original author stopped bothering.
      5. But that naked and petrified stuff was really sick!

        Sick to you, but that was actually the guy's genuinely held sexual fantasy. He was erotically excited by the thought of women turned to stone, and was letting the world know about it. Don't pretend that you weren't interested - it's absolutely fascinating.
      6. You're kidding me!

        Nope. I was taken aback myself, but there are several sites on the Net with active discussion boards on this very subject. It's not that very different from the subject of "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker, where the hero has the power to stop time, effectively turning women into statues. And that is quite a common paraphilia.
      7. Well, I thought it was offensive to women. Wasn't it tantamount to a rape fantasy?

        No, it was a petrification fantasy. Which is something rather less threatening, because harder to act out (how many people really believed that anyone could actually turn Natalie Portman to stone?)
      8. What does Natalie Portman think about being "open sourced"?

        I'm sure she's not wonderfully happy about being the subject of someone else's tawdry sexual fantasies, but it kind of comes with the job. I doubt she loses much sleep.
      9. You keep saying I should read this stuff. How can I?

        Opensourceman's works (including the Star Wars series and Fat-time Charlie) are available online at: Craig MacPherson has a website at: , which probably has a few things on it to do with the petrification thing.

    3. So gritsboy and scooby doo are trolls then? And Trollmastah?

      Wellllll .... they're a step above the cut 'n' pasters. And sometimes they can be funny if you're in a silly mood. But they don't contribute to the troll forums, and it's not what I personally would call incredibly creative. Some people like running jokes and some don't. The original Trollmastah has contributed some good material, but there's a lot of imitations about.

    Why, for God's sake?

    For a variety of reasons, but mainly to puncture the self-importance of a few people who deeply deserve it. Slashdot has a lot of very clever people posting, but vastly more individuals with a serious perception/reality gap with regard to their own intelligence. People who believe themselves to be perceptive, clueful, even deep thinkers while merely reciting lists of conventional wisdom deserve to be taken for a ride. And there's the sheer Skinnerian joy of it - if somebody, or some group of people have buttons, it's inhuman not to take delight in pushing them.

    1. Why do you spend such effort on being assholes?

      In order to do it properly.
    2. What's your problem with moderation?

      No problem. Whining about moderation is for the moderation thread. Several trolls moderate more or less frequently (and meta-moderate - be very afraid), and there is very little genuine complaint about moderation on the troll threads. Any remarks about $3 crack are meant in a spirit of fun and affection, and are usually merely cris de coeur when a finely crafted troll has been rumbled in the first few seconds and down-modded.
      1. What about "Portrait of a Moderator"?

        That was funny.

    3. Why don't you go and troll somewhere other than slashdot?

      Where is there? We've had a token go or two at Nitrozac and kuro5hin, and an abortive attempt to troll some of the statuephilia discussion boards with discussions about technology, but it just doesn't feel right. If you ain't on slashdot, you ain't, basically, trolling.
    4. No, why don't you fuck off? You contribute nothing to this site.

      That isn't even true. Several of the troll regulars have enough Karma to post with the +1 bonus when they use their regular identities, which puts them in the top decile, according to Rob Malda. And there is a definite audience for quality trolls. Have you just been trolled? Is that why you're so angry? Calm down, it'll be someone else's turn in the barrel on Friday.
    5. Don't you have anything better to do?

      To paraphrase gnarphlager, yes, we have many better things to do, but we're not going to do them.

    How can I recognise a troll?

    If you want to spot a troll, then you're basically entering into a game, played against us. You have to keep your guard up, adopt a critical attitude to what you read and decide whether it is plausible that someone is actually posting that view. For our part, we will intermingle fact and fiction, invent plausible-sounding references and (always) attempt to attack your emotional involvement in a topic in order to make you drop your guard. The more ridiculous the proposition we sneak under your guard, the more we win. The angrier you get, the more we win. And you? As the computer said in War Games "The only way to win is not to play".

    1. What are the characteristics of a troll?

      Usually, a troll will resemble a normal slashdot post, but will contain at least one thing which is not true. A good troll will contain material which obviously couldn't possibly be true, and would not fool anyone who gave it a moment's thought. The troll will also contain an inflammatory or controversial statement, designed to make sure that nobody does give it a moment's thought. Criticism of Linux, strong or offensive political views, mockery of "computer geeks", claims about the inferiority of women/Canadians/Perl, all of that stuff. Interestingly, having experimented with using outright, Bell-Curve-like racist statements to act as the controversial part of the troll, I've found that they never offend anyone, which I guess shows what a lily-white place slashdot is.


      Obviously these rules apply more to the classic satirical model of a troll, but there is a strong family resemblance in the surrealist model. Looking at the best work of osm, gnarphlager, auntfloyd et al., you pick up a strong sense of the underlying form. There is the (often highly tenuous) link to the subject matter, the building sense of cognitive dissonance and then the denouement in which the troll moves into the realm of pure surrealist prose (or "gets silly", depending on how you look at it). Typically, when reading such a troll for the first time, and in the context of the thread, the reader's reaction goes through stages.

      At the opening of the troll, in which the technological subject matter is being obliquely referred to, the reader is curious. There is an unconscious assumption that what is being used is a metaphor, which appears opaque but will actually make an argument clear (in such a way the surrealist trolls subvert the category of metaphor as used in scientific discussions). Then, the tension between the what the reader wants to read and what he/she sees on the page grows, but the reader still tries to hang on to the idea that he/she is reading "News for Nerds". Finally, when the reality (that is, the unreality) of the troll is revealed, the reader is outraged at having been tricked.


      Thus, we can see that the distinction between the classical and surrealist trolls is one of inversion; metaphor versus metonymy. The classical troll traps the reader in metaphor, creating the "character" or authorial fiction, which the reader takes as a metonymy for "The Other" - the fictional creature on the screen is espousing Microsoft, or Libertarianism, or something else which must be ritually reacted to, rather than read as if it were a metaphorical text. The surrealist troll appears to use metaphor, but creates no authorial fiction. The piling up of the metonymic symbols of trolldom (cheese, Natalie Portman, the Troll itself) draws the reader into the pure text, looking for a meaning (or metaphor) which is always deferred. The reader wants to create an authorial fiction, but this is denied - and it is this denial which is the source of his/her rage. The surrealist troll lets the reader down with a bump - the satirical troll, in its purest form, never lets the reader out at all, leaving him/her stuck in a world which is false, because he/she is being manipulated by the authorial fiction. Classical trolling is about the use of metaphor to create metonymy; surrealist trolling is using metonymy to create metapor.

      1. Wow, that's pretty deep.

        YHBT. YHL. HAND. (Ha ha, only serious)

    2. Do you always list the trolls in these forums?

      Pretty much so, yeah. There's been "trolltalk", "trolltalk2", "31337troll" and a bunch of others. It's good to be able to see other people's work, to discuss trolling, and on occasion to have a way of proving for sure that something you wrote was a troll, to a particularly persistent mark.
    3. What's the current 31337 forum?

      If I could tell you, I'd have to kill you. There have been a few problems with people stalking some of the trolls, and spamming the troll forums with whitespace to make them unusable. There's no big secret or anything, it's just that we'd like to think that finding the troll forum requires a modicum of commitment and ingenuity. There's one pretty well-trafficked troll forum which is listed in most of the usual indices. Look, fuck it, you used to be able to find BBSes, didn't you? This is no different.
    4. Isn't that a bit hypocritical, to keep moving the troll forum because it gets trolled?

      Yada yada yada.
    5. But if I know the sid of the 1337 forum, I can read the trolls as they happen?

      Welllllll ..... yeah ... I suppose that technically you can, and you need never be taken in by a troll again. But that's a bit lame, don't you think? This is meant to be a game, after all.
    6. What should I do if I suspect a troll?

      Write a nice, long post, beginning with the phrase "I'm sure this is a troll, but ....", get really angry, call everyone a bunch of assholes and always reply to follow ups : -) Nahhh, that's what we'd like you to do.
      1. Well what should I do, then?

        The only approved, correct, 1337 way to deal with a troll is not to reply at all. Don't say anything. Just sit back and feel smugly self-satisfied that you caught the troll. Go on. People always seem to say the word "smug" as if it were a bad thing, but how can something that feels so good be wrong? Smirk. Once the troll is "dead" (once the author has taken credit for it and admitted the troll), you might want to post a message about it. You'll probably get a nice reply.
      2. Should I alert others to the troll?

        Wellllll .... if you really must, I suppose you can, but it is a bit lame and lacks eliteness. For one thing, it makes you look like a bit of a spoilsport. For another, it gives unfair clues to people who have no idea of what to do with them. For yet another, it's quite possible that the people you warn will ignore you. Either that, or start arguing with you, saying things like "Well it may be a troll but ....". In which case, you're now the one who's wasting bandwidth by starting fruitless discussions; ie, you've turned into a troll yourself. If you must go through this, however, just post up "This is a troll", or something. Don't link to the troll forum post claiming credit - that is truly lame.
      3. How about if I reply to the points made in the troll, but preface my post with the words "I'm pretty sure this is a troll, but in any case"?

        Then you should be prepared to live with being a laughing stock. We live off people like you, who simply can't stop themselves from pouring out conventional wisdom, even when they know they are being made monkeys of. And no, the "I'm pretty sure ..." disclaimer doesn't make you look ironic and knowing.

    7. Why shouldn't I link to the troll forum post if I spot a troll?

      Well, fundamentally, it lacks class. For one thing, you're feeding the troll while pretending not to feed it, which is dishonest. For another, you're encouraging lots of enraged people to visit the troll forum. This means that the troll forum gets spammed, the trolls move, and you now will be forced to spot trolls for yourself rather than reading them off the list, lamer. Also, the trolls can't tell who it was who brought the spammer there, so all the other people who used to enjoy reading the daily trolls don't find out where the new forum is.

    How can I start trolling for myself?

    "Just do it", as that noted provider of employment to Indonesian children once said. Your first trolls are unlikely to be offensive enough to draw many responses, but once you lose your disinclination to be unpleasant, results will follow. Of course, you may incipiently be a natural trolling genius like dmg, who got huge pops from the get-go. Choose a story which will get a lot of traffic, try to get an early, top-level post, etc, etc (here might follow a whole load of shit from the Karma HOWTO which I'm not going to reproduce). And, offend. You might want to start off with a right-wing maniac troll.

    1. What are the key elements of an RWM troll?

      RWM is the source from which it all flows. Like an origami master building everything from a folded base, or a woodworker turning a chair-leg, the entirety of the art is encapsulated in this one element. It is possible to dedicate your entire trolling career to the perfection of the RWM (troll gods 80md and 70% more or less have done). If you can't write an RWM troll, you can't write a troll.


      The key to the RWM troll is to realise its heritage from Usenet. Usenet trolling was all about cross-posting controversial statements to start flame-wars between different newsgroups. On slashdot, you can't cross-post, so you have to identify people who can be brought into conflict where you are. The beauty of the RWM troll is not so much that he sets rightwingers against leftwingers, but that he creates cognitive dissonance in rightwing readers, because they want to agree with his conclusions (or at least, his less obviously mad ones), but can't bring themselves to accept his reasoning (or simulation thereof). RWM also exploits the fact that a lot of people with right-wing views haven't necessarily thought out those views very comprehensively, and so are vulnerable to cognitive dissonance caused by the inconsistency of what they believe. Among the elements of right-wing mania are:

      • Libertarianism. Everything should be legalised, even obviously destructive things. All government regulations should be removed. The market will protect your privacy, as firms which don't give you privacy will go out of business. Everything which is, is for the best, otherwise the market would have got rid of it. Yes, free speech does include child pr0n. Etc.
      • Corporation-worship. Capitalism works, boyeee. Big companies are the lifeblood of the country and the technology industry. They're successful, so they must be good, so they should be given all those responsiblilities which currently belong to the government. Only the government can censor (it's probably in the dictionary definition), so anything a corporation can do is morally right. The property rights of companies are more important than any rights you think you have.
      • Religious nuttery. Everything is potentially Satanic, even things which seem quite innocuous. The liberals, relativists and communists are indoctrinating our children. There is a conspiracy afoot against Christians, and the downward moderation of this post just goes to prove it. Evolution is by no means proven.
      • Americanism. USA! USA! USA!

      Obviously, everyone who disagrees with a RWM is a socialist, even if they don't think they are.

    2. What are the key elements of a "character" troll?
    3. I think I want to do a surrealist troll, what should I do?
    4. How much effort should I put into a troll?
    5. How can I get more replies?
    6. Should I "feed" my trolls?
    7. When should I admit to being a troll?

    Indeed, whimsy is an open account (for posting whimsical diaries) whose password is 'whimsy'. I've contributed some diaries (principally, "I was there watching the world go by" and "How to calculate your social security income") and so have felt free to abuse the account for comment posting in Anne Marie stories. My guess is the other whimsy poster is tewl, since she posted something about "oh, I didn't realize annemarie=cp" in k5tt a while back.

    I share your incredulity. Anyone who reads through k5tt would know the truth. Anyone who suspected could do a search on my (cp's) comments and see I only post in anne marie's stories. Oh well. It's fun to see rusty defend me.

    I've seen just about every one. But I usually see movies for who is in them,
    not what they are about. You see some pretty bad movies that way, but a lot

    [me0w] cast = vast
    [bc] strange, I don't have problems. In fact, I reject much more impressively and fullsomely when drunk than when sober. I don't need no stinkin' voice of reason!

    [bc] haha! I remember you mentioning this before. That's an awful affliction, though prolly pretty amusing

    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why

    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [me0w] Good Afternoon Captain
    [bc] el capitano
    [Captain_Tenille] Ahoy
    [Captain_Tenille] What goes on in these parts?
    * Captain_Tenille finally got some sleep last night
    [bc] You are admirably offensive; you have won. I am offended, many times over. Now please, leave me the fuck alone. --infinitera
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] I am not admirably offensive
    * Captain_Tenille wades through the k5rap
    [me0w] There was nothing interesting on K5 this morning
    [Captain_Tenille] Nope. Doesn't look like it.
    [Captain_Tenille] Yawn
    [Captain_Tenille] All right, time to make breakfast, I think
    [Captain_Tenille] I may be on later.
    *** Captain_Tenille has quit IRC (Quit: Making breakfast)
    [me0w] they leave so quickly
    [bc] yes
    [me0w] I made coffee, but now I find I'm too lazy to go and pour it.
    [bc] Catch 22 then
    [bc] you need some caffeine to rouse you to pour it :\
    [me0w] I need to hire someone to make it for me.
    [me0w] But this person must agree to be paid in post-it notes as I have no funds.
    [me0w] My new site format seems to be coming along. I might actually like it.
    [bc] hehe
    * bc is writing a ranty comment
    [me0w] Will it be exciting?
    [bc] maybe if you like seeing infinitera being attacked, otherwise it's prolly not your thing
    [bc] it will be 0ed though, as usual, by him
    [bc] but shant be in the hidden wueue for long
    [me0w] I will give it a 5 if it is exciting
    [bc] yay

    [bc] there you go me0w
    [me0w] I am giving you a 5 for the number of words you used
    [bc] woohoo!
    [bc] I quite often start typing, and type and type and type in fury
    [bc] and I don't really attack him personally till towards the end
    [bc] infinitera is a twat
    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had
    [me0w] I should send flowers to celebrate your relationship.
    [bc] that would be very nice of you. The anniversary is very soon, actually
    [me0w] Brilliant!

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [bc] ah hah
    [bc] I did that to a girl week last week after a date. It's surprisingly hard. Requires delicacy
    [gurl] so i have a perfectly nice male friend
    [bc] well that's something at least

    [gurl] i have a hearty beef stew
    [bc] oh splendid
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] i am reading about the french foreign legion
    [bc] oh yes. That's France's only *professional* section of the army eh?
    [bc] I know someone who served in it for 21 years
    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [bc] and also, cos it is UK army, it is not just UKians, they select from many countries in the commonwealth
    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger
    [bc] so canadians and australians and NZers and Nepalians can see the SAS as the peak of their career, if they are good enough to make it through selection
    [Captain_Tenille] SAS?
    [bc] yes
    [gurl] british special forces
    [Captain_Tenille] Aha
    * Captain_Tenille always thought MI5 and MI6 were cool acronyms
    [bc] hehe
    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4
    [gurl] heh
    [bc] having no constitutional checks, the government is free to deny they exist at all
    [gurl] haha
    *** county (midas@cloaked.client.attbi.com) has joined #adequacy
    [gurl] oh look@
    [gurl] er, nevermind
    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.
    * Captain_Tenille 's dad did that for a long time
    [bc] coo
    [gurl] bc, my sibling is all rotting in the county jail
    [bc] haha
    [bc] what'd he do?
    [gurl] his warrant caught up to him
    [bc] damn
    [gurl] he owes about 400£ in fines
    [Captain_Tenille] I just found out yesterday, actually, what my dad did after he worked as a codebreaker during the Vietnam War.
    [county] bc, you've millions, get gurl's brother out of the clink.
    [bc] he deserves it, county
    [bc] Contributing to the skill of the SAS is the Operations Research Unit which develops unique equipment for use by the SP team.
    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did
    [gurl] then why build us up so cruelly]?
    [Captain_Tenille] NSA. That's all we would say.
    [Captain_Tenille] er, he
    [county] Come on, bc, give her brother a chance.
    [county] He's trying to turn is life around!
    [county] He's in jail because of ancient history.
    [bc] you're right county. I will bail him right away.
    [county] Good man.
    [county] I'm sure gurl will be very grateful.
    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him
    [county] Still, to be unemployed and mangled in these times is difficult. He'll probably end up on the street.
    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving
    [gurl] and makes piles of money
    [gurl] she wanted only to take care of him
    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.
    [gurl] but he wanted to go drinking and sleep with other women
    [county] I should find a rich, devoted wife.
    [county] Having one could be convenient.
    [gurl] it was the only thing that saved him
    [county] Some guys have all the luck.
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i am sure bc would happily arrange for you to acquire a wealthy wife
    [bc] it's true. There's a lucky sod I know who's wife is a civil engineer making tons of cash. All he does is footer about spending her money on computers and crap. They love each other very much and seem very happy. Sickening, it is.
    [county] Yeah, I need someone to take care of me!
    [county] I'm tired of being responsible.
    [bc] BRB, mobile shop
    [gurl] have a beer
    [gurl] actually, have five or six
    [county] What's a mobile shop?
    [county] Anyway, that's too many beers.
    [gurl] well, however many will intoxicate you
    [gurl] women like to help men in that state
    [county] Haha!
    [county] What nonsense.
    [county] Women hate drunks.
    [gurl] depends on the drunk boy
    [gurl] i find some of them endearing
    [bc] damn it's cold
    [county] Well, what do you expect? Your house was built before heat was invented
    [county] What's a mobile shop, though?
    [bc] I am an endearing drunk boy. My cold reserve melts away, revealing a vulnerable and heartbreakingly fascinating character. I find that women are much more interested in me when drunk, than when sober.
    [county] uh huh
    [bc] county, a shop on wheels that drives around selling things. It parks outside my front door
    [county] What sort of things?
    [bc] in this instance, I got dunhills and Irn Bru, and a bottle of Gin
    [county] So you've gone back to the bottle.
    [county] tsk tsk.
    [bc] all sorts, county. There are many of them, in fact. Soem are mobile butchers, others mobile grocers and fishmongers. This one sells everyday necessities
    [county] Like I said, though, some guys have all the luck. When sober, I'm undesirable. When intoxicated, I'm undesirable in a different way.
    [county] Everyday necessities like dunhills, Irn Bru, and gin.
    [bc] Yup.
    [county] dunhills sound like cigarettes. What's Irn Bru?
    [bc] they sell what's sold most in the local community
    [bc] county: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/irn-bru/index.asp
    [gurl] what's a good poll topick before i hotfoot it elsewhere?
    [bc] poll? hmmn
    [county] I don't think I've ever seen any of that, bc.
    [bc] favourite spirit?
    [gurl] irn bru is only in scotland
    [county] That would be all you can think of.
    [bc] county, well, it is actually illegal in the US, the FDA won't allow it to be sold there
    [bc] so it isn't surprising
    [county] gurl, "Favorite condiment to lick off nipples?"
    [bc] it contains too much iron, or something
    [county] Be sure to include horseradish as an option.
    [wsl3] county: Hot Thai Red Curry
    [bc] it's very very popular in russia though
    [Captain_Tenille] What on earth is it? And why is it illegal?
    [bc] ct, it's just a soft drink. It's illegal cos the FDA don't like it's iron content
    [wsl3] What is?
    [Captain_Tenille] Ah
    [gurl] man, i suppose i am not cut out for daytime drinking
    [gurl] my tummy hurts now
    [wsl3] gurl: Have some nice cock. That should solve the problem, but only if you get all the way down and get the protien suprise at the end.
    [gurl] i don't see how
    [gurl] protein makes my tummy hurt
    [wsl3] They'll cancel each other out.
    [gurl] i somehow doubt this.
    [gurl] i love my diary.
    [wsl3] Nah, I can show you if you want! :-)
    [county] Give up, wsl3. The fact is, you can only score with fatties.
    [wsl3] give it up county, the fact is, I don't care what you think. :-)
    [county] That doesn't make any sense, idiot. I wasn't trying to influence your opinion.
    [bc] I love your diary too, gurl =)))
    [gurl] hehe
    [wsl3] county: Uh huh.
    [gurl] there is nothing wrong with fatties, if they have attractive features
    [gurl] and don't look like useless lumps of crap
    [wsl3] Bingo!

    [wsl3] county is a useless lump of crap
    [county] These women aren't fat, gurl, they're disgustingly hyper-obese.
    [wsl3] gurl - hate what? Voluptous women?
    [county] 300lbs.
    [gurl] a girl can be voluptuous without being heavy
    [bc] FFA give BBWs TLC and have a GSOH
    [county] A three hundred pound woman isn't voluptuous.
    [county] She's hyper-obese.
    [wsl3] county: I know lots of attractive 300lb women.
    [gurl] no, that's a porker
    [gurl] i don't know any.
    [county] You don't know any!
    [county] You're delusional.

    [gurl] and i know some decent looking big girls
    [gurl] then she shouldn't exceed 250

    Agreed, but I have to find better ones. As much as I liked the dementia-causes-popmusic-preference one, the k5 crowd just didn't care. Like on /. after a long series of trolls, it's time to whore [the queue] again.

    One of these days I'm going to write an op/ed meta story called "Hi, I'm Anne Marie. You're all hypocrites." But I think I'll hold back, now.

    BTW, the ktb=educatedescort cries are hilarious, at least to me. Soon, rusty'll have to change k5's motto to "Technology and culture from the trenches and stuff about Anne Marie". I'd feel remorse, but a) I like the attention and b) I give k5 more credit than that; it's more resilient than /. ever was. My intentions and hopes aren't to destroy k5 but to become a watershed event in its history, fit to go into next year's year-in-review. Looks like I'm succeeding.

    Hooray for me; I made front page on k5. The vitriol
    is so thick you can cut it with a spoon (or
    something). I don't have time at the moment (and I'm
    waiting for another k5 account to come in the mail...)
    but the idiots have come forward with such force that
    clue-stick beatings must abound or there is no justice
    in this world.

    First priority: make the idiots realize that the only
    reason why they're decrying my story as a troll is
    because they recognize "Anne Marie" as its author.
    The same thing submitted under a different name
    would've been posted or rejected for editorial reasons
    without fanfare. In fact, as standards of trolling
    go, this one wasn't much of one, apart from the
    general inflamatoriness of the topic and the signature
    last paragraph (which I mean every word of). Be sure
    to note siggy's puerility at the bottom of the article
    -- submitting stories just to piss him off is proving
    to be enough incentive in its own right. His reaction
    on #k5 which I alas don't have archived (running
    around with his head chopped off screaming "troll")
    was priceless.

  130. Evil Is Good by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why Evil is Good

    I hate victims. Victims are the albatross hung from the neck of society. The
    term is not even acknowledged by any other species. I am certain if there are
    intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, they follow the strict principle
    of Natural Selection. Only the Strong shall survive. Mankind cannot survive
    as long as its virility is diluted by the weak.

    Peace-and-Love hippies, retards, cripples, depressives, sickling, addicts
    and whiners are all victims of one kind or another. Larger examples of victims
    can also be found: the entire nations of Israel and Englund, for example, are
    constantly victimized and/or whining about their lack of power in the world. In
    fact, the entire continent of Europe is nothing but a festering sewer of whiners
    and welfare states. If we, the strongest nation on Earth, had a decent Ruler,
    the entire junk-heap of Eurotrash would be burned to create a cloud of such lethal
    density it would waft over to Asia and take out the victims that were left over from
    World War II. The great black column of suffocating smoke would rise high into the
    atmosphere, reaching for the very edges of outer space - a giant, living monument
    to our strength. The unviable ashes of the once living garbage would orbit the Earth,
    forever reminding future generations of the price of weakness.

    World War II. Probably the greatest single era in the history of the planet, barring
    the time before Man and Man's distorted, unnatural philosophies of "common good" and
    "protecting the innocent". The time of Germany and its rule by a man of great vision.
    A man who saw the virtue of evil. Every single class of victim described above was
    dealt with in the harshest possible manner. Most people focus on the genocidal aspect
    of Hitler's activities but his vision was much wider, encompassing every brand of
    weakling from ethnic victims to sexual deviants. Unfortunately the United States,
    led by a cripple, had to involve our great military might on the wrong side of the
    war. The least Roosevelt could have done was to allow Germany to finish raping
    France and reduce Englund to rubble.

    We paid for our mistake in World War II. We were punished for choosing the wrong
    side in the Great War by a period of non-violent "Cold War". The term "Cold War"
    itself is the mark of the true Beast: the peace lover. A true leader - a Ruler -
    would have unleashed the full might of our nuclear arsenal upon every nation on the
    Earth, banishing them forever to particles of glowing dust blowing through the winds
    of history. And look what our lack of action has gotten us: A planet filled with
    human garbage, eternal sufferers suckling from the breast of the Mighty.

    It is beyond my comprehension. Not only am I forced to allow the weak to survive,
    but I - we - are forced to subsidize their pathetic existence. Every cripple
    creeping along the sidewalk. Every degenerate elderly woman with osteoporosis who
    parks in the handicap parking spot. Every worthless, lazy hippy who cries for peace
    and marches on a public university. Every sickling child perpetually hospitalized
    because its fetid welfare mother smoked too many drugs during her pregnancy. Every
    30 year old retard wiping its nose all over its Scooby Doo coloring book. Every
    drunk little whore seeking "justice" in our courts for her rape. All of them,
    and more, deserve nothing but death. In the Natural World, every single one of these
    leeches would be lion fodder.

    Even the "Good Book", the Bible - which is actually nothing more than the sick fantasies
    of opium addicts - predicts the outcome of Nature: "The meek shall inherit the Earth".
    Yes, I know what you're saying, but you are wrong. This phrase has been twisted by the
    weak, the cripple, the Jew to give their pathetic lives some ray of hope. This phrase
    does not mean that the Victim will Rule the world. That is laughable. That is impossible.
    The meek shall inherit the Earth for the one and only reason that they will be buried in
    it.

    To the strong who have read this: Thank you. Together, we will conquer. To the weak who
    will whine in the comments below: Your days are numbered, trash.

    [bc] which I interpreted as "On the first of february."
    [bc] dunno how I managed that. "on" is "oan", "second" becomes "secant", it ends with a t sound, and "floor" in glaswegian is like "flare"

    I'm sorry Lockwood!
    I really meant to hurt you!
    I'm glad that I could make you cry, and tonight
    I kicked your ass on Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Scotty!
    It's really fun to flame you!
    It's not real hard to make you cry, and tonight
    I called you out on Trolltalk.

    Vlad's got some skeletons in his closet
    And I think that everyone knows it
    There's so much shit in his mouth that he can't close it
    I'ma expose him; I'll take you back to '69
    Before he started crapflooding Slashdot all the time
    He was a baby, maybe just a couple of months
    The Priest at his church bit off his penis for lunch
    Now he's grown up, and he likes to fuck kids in the eye
    No person would love him; we all wish he would die
    He's got a hippo for a wife who'd never leave his side
    She WANTS to leave, though, but she's too fat to try
    To squeeze her ass out the door, so her life's a mistake
    She and Scott should both die, for their own Vlad-damn sake
    But Vlad's a behemoth, and might not get out of bed today
    We all know that he's stupid; no doubt that he's dumb
    And the dumbest shit he did was not shoot himself with that gun
    He shoulda killed himself, him and Theresa both
    They've got no life, so just call them "The Crapflooder Show"

    I'm sorry Vladdy!
    It's so tempting to flame you!
    You really want to make me hurl, and tonight
    I kicked Vlad's ass on Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Lockwood!
    It's easy shit to hurt him!
    It's mighty fun to ream him good, and tonight
    I called him out on Trolltalk.

    Now I would never diss Scott just to get recognition
    Take a second to listen to why it's him that I'm dissin'
    But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
    Witnessing a man being an asshole for a livin'
    Crying and moaning about others when his own civility's missin'
    DoSing and spamming, practicing Asshole-Jerk Syndrome
    His whole life he's been a Nazi to others
    Now he grew up, got no friends, and a really huge stomach
    Isn't it? Isn't that the reason he's even hated by his own Ma?
    He cries in his bathtub and he has to wear a bra
    But guess what, Scott's getting older, and he's going to die lonely
    He's been divorced three times, and they all think he's a phony
    He's so evil now, he could never know something beautiful
    Nobody likes him, he'll be the only one at his funeral!
    See what sucks about him most is he won't admit he's a dick
    Everybody who knows him thinks he should be beat with a stick
    What he doesn't know is what you give, you will get
    That selfish punk, now it's time for him to drown in his own shit
    Remember when he was dumped by wives #1 2 and 3?
    Well guess what, everyone hates him; that's the way it should be!

    I'm sorry William!
    It's so much fun to hurt you!
    I know you're gunna go and cry, and tonight
    Scott's crying in his bathtub.
    I said I'm sorry Scotty!
    Too bad that you're unstable!
    Maybe you should see a shrink, but tonight
    I'll shred your ass on Trolltalk.

    I'm sorry Lockwood!
    Too bad I have to hurt you!
    You're responsible for what you do, and tonight
    You're hereby banned from Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Cockface!
    I only try to help you!
    You need to reasses your life, and for now,
    Stay fuck away from Trolltalk.

People who aren't confident with themselves and feel inferior about their own abilities try to boost their own self-esteem by making empty threats of lawsuits or physical assault whenever they're on the losing end of a flamewar.

    His face will turn red, he'll start to wheeze and stutter, and he will angrily type, "Yeah, well, just wait until I tell my uncle at the CIA about how rude you've been to me! He'll come and arrest you and you'll go to jail and I'll sue you for everything you have! Then I'll kick your ass, and have sex with your girlfriend!"

    He will then drag his corpulent, out-of-shape, virginal body across the basement to bed and drift off to slumber thinking "Wow, I'm sure I really scared those bastards! I'm sure they'll think twice before disagreeing with ME again!" He'll feel only a slight twinge of hollow emptiness the next day when he sees his uncle, who rather than working for the CIA, is actually the assistant janitor at the local McDonald's.

    A few people who seem to fit the stereotype quite well of being absolute assholes on the Internet and then threatening to sue or call the FBI, CIA, and KGB when anyone who calls them on it:

    Bernard Shifman

    Robert Novak

    Agreed, but I have to find better ones. As much as I liked the dementia-causes-popmusic-preference one, the k5 crowd just didn't care. Like on /. after a long series of trolls, it's time to whore [the queue] again.

    One of these days I'm going to write an op/ed meta story called "Hi, I'm Anne Marie. You're all hypocrites." But I think I'll hold back, now.

    BTW, the ktb=educatedescort cries are hilarious, at least to me. Soon, rusty'll have to change k5's motto to "Technology and culture from the trenches and stuff about Anne Marie". I'd feel remorse, but a) I like the attention and b) I give k5 more credit than that; it's more resilient than /. ever was. My intentions and hopes aren't to destroy k5 but to become a watershed event in its history, fit to go into next year's year-in-review. Looks like I'm succeeding.

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    You fat fucking piece of shit! Why didn't you tell us you were involved
    with the Al-Quaida network of terrorist cells in the United States? We would
    have understood! And arrested you, granted, but what kind of American are
    you?



    Your years in the Navy (all eight of them) ought to have taught you a
    little patriotism. Maybe it was the constant hazing with coin-filled socks
    by your fellow enlisted, or the constant write-ups by the officers, that led
    to a bitterness too intense for most to taste. Maybe. But if that wasn't it,
    the dishonorable discharge for obesity and latent homosexuality probably put
    you over the top. Who knew a military career could lead to hating the United
    States of America so much that you'd aid Osama bin Laden and his army of
    fanatics in bringing our economy to its knees.



    Of course, it's possible it wasn't just your military career's string of
    embarrassments over the years that led to your rash America-hating
    decisions. Perhaps it was your mental health. It's no mystery to anyone
    anymore that you have a martyr complex, chronic (or "major," as you call it)
    depression, psychotic delusions of persecution (which lead to actual
    persecution), and anti-social disorder. If it were me with the string of
    divorces, restraining order filed by my own children, or the job record
    longer than the Mississippi, I'd be in a therapists office or on pills or
    something. And if none of that worked, I'd kill myself (hint, hint).
    I imagine the feeling that never being able to succeed breeds would work its
    way into anyone's skull. I mean, after the second wife I would have bought a
    plane ticket to Yemen. You're on wife #4, and on top of that (listen for the
    rafters breaking) she weighs 400 fucking pounds.



    Well, here's my wish to you that you get what you deserve-- which is
    Osama bin Laden and a dozen of his most well-hung, bearded, filthy Muslim
    terrorist commandos pumping their huge circumcised cocks in and out of every
    orifice of your bloated, sweating body. And, of course, I hope that you
    break your jaw on Osama bin Laden's bucking love-bazooka and then choke to
    death on his deluge of Islamic semen and go straight to the lowest pit of
    Hell positioned directly under Satan's squatting haunches for all of
    eternity.

  144. The HOW2TROLL Trolling Workshop 1 - Profit by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    PREPARE FOR THE HOW2TROLL TROLLING WORKSHOP
    Dedicated to teaching quality Trolling skillz

    STEP 1 : Pick a story and search through for a highly-rated or otherwise prominent comment in which someone uses a nubmered list. For example, you want to find something like this:

    EXAMPLE:

    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    For example, I selected this post as a prime target. There are only a few things to keep in mind: pick an active story and a comment that'll be seen by a lot of people as the target of your troll. The comment MUST contain a numbered list, similar to the above, although the exact style of numbering can vary. Also, try to pick a comment that hasn't already been trolled this way. Every comment with a numbered list will eventually get hit, so you want to be quick.

    STEP 2 : Take careful note of the method of numbering that your target post is using. It really doesn't matter, as long as it's numbered. For example, in this post I use text like "STEP 1", "STEP 2", etc. Note this carefully. This method of trolling makes the most sense when the list is a list of ordered steps (such as this vary document you are reading), BUT if the numbered list is something different, such as "REASON 1:", "REASON 2:", etc., hit it anyway! Your troll will be more esoetric and non-sequitur, but all the better: trolling doesn't always HAVE to make sense. Sometimes it's fun to confuse people.

    STEP 3 : Now you'll put the information gained from step 2 to good use, as you attack the target you selected. This is where it gets complicated, so pay attention. This is easiest to explain with a couple of examples. Let's say your target looks like this:

    TARGET POST:

    • 1. I am a Slashbot!
    • 2. Gosh, I hope I don't get trolled!
    • 3. Blah blah blah, whore for karma!
    • 4. In conclusion, I'm SO smart!

    Now, to pull off your masterfult act of trollage, you'll want to sneak in, post a reply, and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:

    • 4. ???
    • 5. PROFIT!
    Let's say that the post you're replying to is a bit more complex:

    TARGET POST:
    Reasons Linix is so great!
    *REASON 1: My allowance won't cover expensive software.
    *REASON 2: Completely off-topic rant about Microsoft.
    *REASON 3: I love Linix!!

    Now you want to come in and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:
    *REASON 4: ???
    *REASON 5: PROFIT!

    Note what I did there: I emulated the exact style of his numbered list, and then added to it in order to cleverly troll him. THAT is the key. If he numbers his list using bold, use bold. If your target uses all caps, use all caps. If he uses Roman Numerals, use Roman Numerals (hint: I II III IV V VI VII VII IX X, then everything repeats from there), etc. Make YOUR list seem like an naturally-flowing conclusion to your TARGET's list. Then give him HELL! Here's the general key:

    TARGET POST:
    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    ...
    X. Blah!

    TROLL REPLY
    X+1. ???
    X+2. PROFIT!

    I know it gets complicated when you throw in the algebra, but you should be able to do it. Keep track of the numbers on a piece of paper if you have to. It's vary difficult, but once you try it out, you'll get the hang of it. It's an aquired skill that can only be improved through hard work and practice. So get out there and troll!

    Here's a summary:

    STEP 1 : Pick your target (active, contains numbered list)
    STEP 2 : Gather information (style of the numbered list)
    STEP 3 : Nail the target by adding on to his own list!
    STEP 4 : ???
    STEP 5 : PROFIT!

    See, I even did it to my own damn list! That's how easy it is once you become a master at this discipline of trolling! Good luck, young Jedi!!! Go out and troll the world, you motherfucking cuntrag bitches!!

    During a release test, you run through everything so all possible interactions are checked. This takes some time. A patch is something that gets rushed out to cure a problem in the field. It gets checked to see whether it fixes the bug but there is usually insufficient time to run it through a complete regression test. End result is that patches may introduce bugs.

    Another issue is that sometimes to fix a bug, a newer version of a code block may be used (like taking a Linux 2.5.x solution back to fix a bug in 2.4.x). This code block may have unwanted functionality (because it has been inadequately tested).

    Now all the above goes for commercial software, where there is a formal testing and 'fixit' budget. It therefore goes for free software too. Although individual teams are well motivated to sort out their software, it is more difficult to organise proper testing across teams.

    In this case, we are lucky as a single team are working on this and it was sorted out quickly. Somehow some closed source developers don't seem to be so good about quick releases of their patches, and when they do, they still contain as many bugs (IE patches anyone?).

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole
    lawyer the defendant isn't allowed to have. I was
    going to subpoena bank records, grill prosecutorial
    witnesses, and vote to nullify anything I considered
    unjust (even when "legal"). I was going to persuade
    enough fellow jurors to kick out anyone we didn't
    like, especially the prosecutor. In short, I was
    going to troll the legal system.

    But I didn't get that opportunity. After an hour of
    sitting in the grand-jury room, we were informed that
    we weren't waiting for a grand-jury seating: instead,
    a petite-jury seating.

    Petite juries, in states that value the constitution,
    are 12-person panels that sit and hear evidence in the
    actual criminal trial. Their role is ostensibly to
    decide the facts and apply the law as directed by the
    judge. Their actual role under the constitution
    (though the Supreme Court doesn't require that you be
    informed of this) is to sit in judgment not just on
    the facts but also on the law. Again, I was hoping to
    get a chance to nullify stuff: this time, drug laws
    and other things I believe unconstitutional.

    Again, I was denied. Only five minutes later, we were
    informed that all the cases pending today were
    plea-bargained, and we were "free to go". A sigh of
    relief was heard throughout the room, as people who
    didn't want to be there were grateful that they didn't
    have to serve on a jury and perform the duty they
    didn't want to perform. I was disgusted.

    That's what's most wrong with plea bargaining in this
    country. Not that 90% of cases never reach public
    scrutiny because they're decided in the hallways of
    courthouses. Not that people serve penalties for
    unconstitutional charges. Not that real criminals get
    off with reduced sentences. Not that the legislatures
    feel free to pass an absurd number of laws without
    caring whether the court system can handle the load of
    giving each citizen true justice.

    None of that.

    What's wrong is that I, a troll, have been kept off my
    damn jury. No respect.

    You're more verbose than I am! I never knew that about you :)

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole

    [Captain_Tenille] Doesn't craig live there?
    [shoeboy] yup
    [Captain_Tenille] Maybe a hit could be put out on him.
    [bc] he lives not too far from kansas City
    [Captain_Tenille] Arkansas is a small state.
    [bc] which is where he and osm and trollaxor get together to take photos of them in their "phoneboys" garb ;)
    [dmg] isn't KKKlinton from Arkansas ?
    [Captain_Tenille] Ja.

    [dmg] in general.

    [Captain_Tenille] I am six feet tall.
    [Captain_Tenille] Any female taller than that is a mostrosity and a mutant!

    [dmg] we are all equal in the eyes of god
    [bc] what happened on wed?
    [dmg] tall, short
    [dmg] white black
    [dmg] libertarian, communist
    [dmg] bc: you know my friend ?
    [bc] yes
    [dmg] I was right about her
    [dmg] she DID want me.
    [bc] and she told you as much?

    [bc] haha
    [dmg] its not funny :-)
    [dmg] my leg hurts
    [bc] good. Yes, it is funny though
    [dmg] when I put weight on it
    [dmg] it was so amusing.
    [bc] another #adequacy dating advice success!
    [dmg] it was pretty much the most rampant sex I have had in my life...
    [dmg] so much for her protestations of not being interested :-)
    [bc] hehe
    [dmg] #adequacy rules !!!!
    [dmg] doing the right thing for the wrong reasons!!!
    [dmg] I was late for work
    [bc] you're lucky. All I came home to on wednesday was a fucking nasty writ from Ayr Sherriff County Court.
    [dmg] LOL
    [bc] well, not from them, but requesting that I appear before them
    [dmg] Which reminds me, better go and pay my credit card bill brb
    [bc] "request" being more like "appear or else"
    [Captain_Tenille] GodDAMN it!
    [Captain_Tenille] My fucking office chair just broke!
    [bc] haha
    [Captain_Tenille] I loved that chair.
    [bc] did it happen while you were sitting in it, with the result that you spread everywhere hilariously?
    [Captain_Tenille] No. It fell over after I stood up, and one of the bottom things broke off.
    [Captain_Tenille] It had been breaking for a couple of weeks.
    * Captain_Tenille has not had a pleasant past couple of weeks.
    [bc] heh :\

    [bc] goddamned thing
    [bc] "write once, run anywhere" [-haha
    [dmg] bc what do the authorities want with you ?
    [dmg] presumably they are trying to coerce you
    [dmg] in some way
    [bc] they are, but rightfully. it is not the government that is coercing me, but I private organisation I have breached a contract with
    [cyndrekit] hehe this is by far my favorite scoop site design wise http://www.artificialcheese.com/
    [bc] and now have to plea with, though hopefully I should be successful
    [dmg] bc: I am surprised
    * Captain_Tenille is bored
    [dmg] I thought you of all people would honour a voulantary contract!
    [dmg] being an anarcho-capitalist/libertarian and all that
    [bc] well I would have, but I didn't realise I was breaking it until it was too late
    [dmg] ignorance is no defence
    [bc] ]:(
    [bc] everybody makes mistakes and suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
    [dmg] yes, but a contract is a CONTRACT. Its the fundamental bedrock of society....
    [bc] I agree! And people break them, sometimes in error, sometimes deliberately, and in both cases restitution is just
    [dmg] you will get what's coming to you, mark my words...
    [bc] I willfully submit to the court and can only plead before them, they are human beings and shall hopefully see my POV
    [bc] and grant me a return into the contract as it was before
    [dmg] I hope they don't let you get away with anything....
    [Captain_Tenille] What did you not do, bc?
    [dmg] after all, a contract is legally binding, and freely entered in to.
    [dmg] it would be a mockery and a travesty if they let you get away with flouting it.
    [bc] of course it is, dmg, however it is not a mockery and a travesty if they accept all too human error at their discretion, Humanity is at the heart of our justice system too, and the company whose contract I have breached is composed of employees who are human beings, and should see this as nothing but a simple error
    [dmg] bc: I expect the contract will have a just penalty clause for this kind of situation...
    [bc] I don't think it does. It is a fairly unusual situation
    [bc] but I am willing to accept penalties

    It's good to see you making a go at it again, but I'm
    confused as to why you're trying to whore up a
    bitchslapped account, because no matter what your

The only thing it has going against it is an annoying misspelling of "K/Clan" in KKK for good measure.

    Mostly, I'm just cleansing the k5 pallate for tomorrow's big troll submission: Switzerland has a referendum to give animals human rights (http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2000 /10/08/stifgneur01002.html).

  169. The History of William Scott Lockwood by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WSL throughout the ages!

    William Scott Lockwood 1 - Born 1924 to unknown parents. Abandoned in a trash can in New Orleans by his opium-addicted prostitute mother just minutes after birth. Raised in a Catholic orphanage staffed by pedophile priests. Named himself "William Scott Lockwood 1", combining the names of his three favorite Priests/lovers at the orphanage. After puberty, the priests started to ignore him in favor of the younger boys, and he felt jealous and alienated. He ran away at age 14 and lived in the gayest part of the French Quarter, sucking cocks for spare change. At age 17, his first and only sexual encounter with a female (a woman on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras who claimed she was actually a male Drag Queen) resulted in the conception of a child. The woman, Fannie Sassaman, quickly left town and gave birth to the child in secret, without telling WSL1 that they had conceived a son together. WSL1 died in 1949 when his herpes infection migrated to his brain.

    William Scott Lockwood 2 - Born 1942 to Fannie Sassaman by WSL1. Originally named Ezekiel Sassaman and raised as a good Jewish boy. A botched circumcision by a drunken Mohil left him with an almost nonfunctional penis. From the ages of 3 to 8, he was forced by his mother to shovel coal on a railroad for a living. At age 8, he learned of the true identity of his father, converted to Catholicism, and went to New Orleans to search for his father. (Fannie Sassaman's story doesn't end there, but we'll save it for a later date.) Ezekiel Sassaman renamed himself William Scott Lockwood 2 after his father, who he found lying dead in a gutter when he reached New Orleans. He joined up with a railroad hobo gang, and spent the next two decades riding the rails and carrying out a string of brutal rapes and murders around the country. His damaged penis kept him from conceiving any children, but in 1969, God blessed him with a miracle: one of the women he raped conceived a child. He married her, and shortly thereafter, WSL3 was born. WSL2 quit the railroad gang after his son's birth and settled down with his victim/wife. He is still wanted by the FBI as one of the most notorious serial killers of this century. He is considered heavily armed, extremely dangerous, and morbidly obese. Let the FBI know if you have seen this man. They have offered a $1,000,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest, capture, or death. After a recent sighting at an Illinois hospital, he is once again at large.

    William Scott Lockwood 3 - Born 1969 to a nondescript obese housewife by WSL2. Much has already been written about the life of this man, so I won't cover territory that has already been excellently covered by others before me. Oh, and he runs an obscure website, but only about 5 people actually visit it. Currently struggling with AIDS, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic stress, liver disease, herpes, genital warts, crabs, the Clap, bad acne, morbid obesity, hypertension, and several unidentified illnesses.

    William Scott Lockwood 4 - Born 1992 to Wife #2 by WSL3. Mentally scarred by the abuse and molestation he suffered at the hands of his father at a young age. At age 3, he convinced his mother to divorce WSL3, but that didn't stop the abuse, as WSL3 began a campaign of stalking against Wife #2 and WSL4. WSL4 holds the world record as the youngest person to independently get a restraining order issued against his own father, in 1996 at the age of 4. WSL3 lost interest in WSL4 on his sixth birthday, reportedly saying "they're just not sexy anymore when they get that old." His father left him with an AIDS infection, though, and he isn't expected to last much longer.

    Why Evil is Good

    I hate victims. Victims are the albatross hung from the neck of society. The
    term is not even acknowledged by any other species. I am certain if there are
    intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, they follow the strict principle
    of Natural Selection. Only the Strong shall survive. Mankind cannot survive
    as long as its virility is diluted by the weak.

    Peace-and-Love hippies, retards, cripples, depressives, sickling, addicts
    and whiners are all victims of one kind or another. Larger examples of victims
    can also be found: the entire nations of Israel and Englund, for example, are
    constantly victimized and/or whining about their lack of power in the world. In
    fact, the entire continent of Europe is nothing but a festering sewer of whiners
    and welfare states. If we, the strongest nation on Earth, had a decent Ruler,
    the entire junk-heap of Eurotrash would be burned to create a cloud of such lethal
    density it would waft over to Asia and take out the victims that were left over from
    World War II. The great black column of suffocating smoke would rise high into the
    atmosphere, reaching for the very edges of outer space - a giant, living monument
    to our strength. The unviable ashes of the once living garbage would orbit the Earth,
    forever reminding future generations of the price of weakness.

    World War II. Probably the greatest single era in the history of the planet, barring
    the time before Man and Man's distorted, unnatural philosophies of "common good" and
    "protecting the innocent". The time of Germany and its rule by a man of great vision.
    A man who saw the virtue of evil. Every single class of victim described above was
    dealt with in the harshest possible manner. Most people focus on the genocidal aspect
    of Hitler's activities but his vision was much wider, encompassing every brand of
    weakling from ethnic victims to sexual deviants. Unfortunately the United States,
    led by a cripple, had to involve our great military might on the wrong side of the
    war. The least Roosevelt could have done was to allow Germany to finish raping
    France and reduce Englund to rubble.

    We paid for our mistake in World War II. We were punished for choosing the wrong
    side in the Great War by a period of non-violent "Cold War". The term "Cold War"
    itself is the mark of the true Beast: the peace lover. A true leader - a Ruler -
    would have unleashed the full might of our nuclear arsenal upon every nation on the
    Earth, banishing them forever to particles of glowing dust blowing through the winds
    of history. And look what our lack of action has gotten us: A planet filled with
    human garbage, eternal sufferers suckling from the breast of the Mighty.

    It is beyond my comprehension. Not only am I forced to allow the weak to survive,
    but I - we - are forced to subsidize their pathetic existence. Every cripple
    creeping along the sidewalk. Every degenerate elderly woman with osteoporosis who
    parks in the handicap parking spot. Every worthless, lazy hippy who cries for peace
    and marches on a public university. Every sickling child perpetually hospitalized
    because its fetid welfare mother smoked too many drugs during her pregnancy. Every
    30 year old retard wiping its nose all over its Scooby Doo coloring book. Every
    drunk little whore seeking "justice" in our courts for her rape. All of them,
    and more, deserve nothing but death. In the Natural World, every single one of these
    leeches would be lion fodder.

    Even the "Good Book", the Bible - which is actually nothing more than the sick fantasies
    of opium addicts - predicts the outcome of Nature: "The meek shall inherit the Earth".
    Yes, I know what you're saying, but you are wrong. This phrase has been twisted by the
    weak, the cripple, the Jew to give their pathetic lives some ray of hope. This phrase
    does not mean that the Victim will Rule the world. That is laughable. That is impossible.
    The meek shall inherit the Earth for the one and only reason that they will be buried in
    it.

  177. The HOW2TROLL Trolling Workshop 1 - Profit by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    PREPARE FOR THE HOW2TROLL TROLLING WORKSHOP
    Dedicated to teaching quality Trolling skillz

    STEP 1 : Pick a story and search through for a highly-rated or otherwise prominent comment in which someone uses a nubmered list. For example, you want to find something like this:

    EXAMPLE:

    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    For example, I selected this post as a prime target. There are only a few things to keep in mind: pick an active story and a comment that'll be seen by a lot of people as the target of your troll. The comment MUST contain a numbered list, similar to the above, although the exact style of numbering can vary. Also, try to pick a comment that hasn't already been trolled this way. Every comment with a numbered list will eventually get hit, so you want to be quick.

    STEP 2 : Take careful note of the method of numbering that your target post is using. It really doesn't matter, as long as it's numbered. For example, in this post I use text like "STEP 1", "STEP 2", etc. Note this carefully. This method of trolling makes the most sense when the list is a list of ordered steps (such as this vary document you are reading), BUT if the numbered list is something different, such as "REASON 1:", "REASON 2:", etc., hit it anyway! Your troll will be more esoetric and non-sequitur, but all the better: trolling doesn't always HAVE to make sense. Sometimes it's fun to confuse people.

    STEP 3 : Now you'll put the information gained from step 2 to good use, as you attack the target you selected. This is where it gets complicated, so pay attention. This is easiest to explain with a couple of examples. Let's say your target looks like this:

    TARGET POST:

    • 1. I am a Slashbot!
    • 2. Gosh, I hope I don't get trolled!
    • 3. Blah blah blah, whore for karma!
    • 4. In conclusion, I'm SO smart!

    Now, to pull off your masterfult act of trollage, you'll want to sneak in, post a reply, and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:

    • 4. ???
    • 5. PROFIT!
    Let's say that the post you're replying to is a bit more complex:

    TARGET POST:
    Reasons Linix is so great!
    *REASON 1: My allowance won't cover expensive software.
    *REASON 2: Completely off-topic rant about Microsoft.
    *REASON 3: I love Linix!!

    Now you want to come in and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:
    *REASON 4: ???
    *REASON 5: PROFIT!

    Note what I did there: I emulated the exact style of his numbered list, and then added to it in order to cleverly troll him. THAT is the key. If he numbers his list using bold, use bold. If your target uses all caps, use all caps. If he uses Roman Numerals, use Roman Numerals (hint: I II III IV V VI VII VII IX X, then everything repeats from there), etc. Make YOUR list seem like an naturally-flowing conclusion to your TARGET's list. Then give him HELL! Here's the general key:

    TARGET POST:
    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    ...
    X. Blah!

    TROLL REPLY
    X+1. ???
    X+2. PROFIT!

    I know it gets complicated when you throw in the algebra, but you should be able to do it. Keep track of the numbers on a piece of paper if you have to. It's vary difficult, but once you try it out, you'll get the hang of it. It's an aquired skill that can only be improved through hard work and practice. So get out there and troll!

    Here's a summary:

    STEP 1 : Pick your target (active, contains numbered list)
    STEP 2 : Gather information (style of the numbered list)
    STEP 3 : Nail the target by adding on to his own list!
    STEP 4 : ???
    STEP 5 : PROFIT!

    See, I even did it to my own damn list! That's how easy it is once you become a master at this discipline of trolling! Good luck, young Jedi!!! Go out and troll the world, you motherfucking cuntrag bitches!!

    Dear Sirs and Madams:

Consequently, the onus has temporarily fallen to me of carrying out the sacred duties of the Microdot until he can resolve the situation and resume operations as before.


    I know that I have big shoes to fill, and I won't claim that I'll be able to live up to the accomplishments of my predecessor. I won't even claim that I'm qualified for the job, however, I know that Kuro5hin needs a Microdot, and I will do anything within my power to adequately fill in for the true Microdot while he is indisposed.


    The true Microdot wishes me to convey his sincere regrets to all of you over being temporarily forcibly separated from you. This is a situation that was beyond his control, and he is doing what he can to find a workaround. Until then, I'll do my part to try to fill the void, because Kuro5hin without the Microdot is just not Kuro5hin. (We won't even mention a certain Yellow imposter, who is an embarrassment to the Microdot name and to himself.)


    I can never be the original Microdot, but I'm going to try my best to get into the Microdot mindset, and find my own personal style as well. If you like me, then perhaps when the real Microdot overcomes his IP-ban, I'll continue to work side-by-side with him. If you don't like me, then e-mail some certain people and request/demand that the original Microdot have his IP-ban removed as soon as possible.


    This is all that I have to say at the moment. Until the services of the Standing Junior Microdot are needed again, I wish you all good night... and Godspeed.

    Well, it's easy to understand why they do these things: They're undernourished, because they don't have much food out there in all the poor countries. So the average foreigner is about four foot six, maybe five feet tops, and they weigh about eighty pounds. Their teeth tend to fall out, and their bones are brittle as hell because they don't have milk. That's because their "commissars" took all their cows away. So you see, these poor "Europeans" as they call themselves, and the "Canadians" and whatnot, all these people are frail weaklings. They have no knowledge of freedom either, because they don't have a Genesis Document guaranteeing their rights, and they're given to sodomy and other degenerate practices because they've never been exposed to Christianity. Christianity is banned in Europe, did you know that? It's true. The Socialists always ban religion when they seize power. Of course, the Europeans were never free to begin with, so they don't know any better. They've always been slaves. It's all the same to them.

    So their poor diet, their atheism, their slavehood, and their homosexuality have robbed them of their strength and their manhood. Therefore, they play girl games like Snuckers, Privet, and Gloon. While we eat our peas for the souls in Purgatory, they HAVE no peas. They limply push a ball around a field, with no manly, bone-crunching collisions to build their flaccid
    characters. Where even our most girlish pseudomen play tennis, they teach badminton to their soldiers.

    >Man, we need to get rid of those other countries. They want to abolish

  182. The History of William Scott Lockwood by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WSL throughout the ages!

    William Scott Lockwood 1 - Born 1924 to unknown parents. Abandoned in a trash can in New Orleans by his opium-addicted prostitute mother just minutes after birth. Raised in a Catholic orphanage staffed by pedophile priests. Named himself "William Scott Lockwood 1", combining the names of his three favorite Priests/lovers at the orphanage. After puberty, the priests started to ignore him in favor of the younger boys, and he felt jealous and alienated. He ran away at age 14 and lived in the gayest part of the French Quarter, sucking cocks for spare change. At age 17, his first and only sexual encounter with a female (a woman on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras who claimed she was actually a male Drag Queen) resulted in the conception of a child. The woman, Fannie Sassaman, quickly left town and gave birth to the child in secret, without telling WSL1 that they had conceived a son together. WSL1 died in 1949 when his herpes infection migrated to his brain.

    William Scott Lockwood 2 - Born 1942 to Fannie Sassaman by WSL1. Originally named Ezekiel Sassaman and raised as a good Jewish boy. A botched circumcision by a drunken Mohil left him with an almost nonfunctional penis. From the ages of 3 to 8, he was forced by his mother to shovel coal on a railroad for a living. At age 8, he learned of the true identity of his father, converted to Catholicism, and went to New Orleans to search for his father. (Fannie Sassaman's story doesn't end there, but we'll save it for a later date.) Ezekiel Sassaman renamed himself William Scott Lockwood 2 after his father, who he found lying dead in a gutter when he reached New Orleans. He joined up with a railroad hobo gang, and spent the next two decades riding the rails and carrying out a string of brutal rapes and murders around the country. His damaged penis kept him from conceiving any children, but in 1969, God blessed him with a miracle: one of the women he raped conceived a child. He married her, and shortly thereafter, WSL3 was born. WSL2 quit the railroad gang after his son's birth and settled down with his victim/wife. He is still wanted by the FBI as one of the most notorious serial killers of this century. He is considered heavily armed, extremely dangerous, and morbidly obese. Let the FBI know if you have seen this man. They have offered a $1,000,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest, capture, or death. After a recent sighting at an Illinois hospital, he is once again at large.

    William Scott Lockwood 3 - Born 1969 to a nondescript obese housewife by WSL2. Much has already been written about the life of this man, so I won't cover territory that has already been excellently covered by others before me. Oh, and he runs an obscure website, but only about 5 people actually visit it. Currently struggling with AIDS, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic stress, liver disease, herpes, genital warts, crabs, the Clap, bad acne, morbid obesity, hypertension, and several unidentified illnesses.

    William Scott Lockwood 4 - Born 1992 to Wife #2 by WSL3. Mentally scarred by the abuse and molestation he suffered at the hands of his father at a young age. At age 3, he convinced his mother to divorce WSL3, but that didn't stop the abuse, as WSL3 began a campaign of stalking against Wife #2 and WSL4. WSL4 holds the world record as the youngest person to independently get a restraining order issued against his own father, in 1996 at the age of 4. WSL3 lost interest in WSL4 on his sixth birthday, reportedly saying "they're just not sexy anymore when they get that old." His father left him with an AIDS infection, though, and he isn't expected to last much longer.

    I'd been thinking along the lines of hiding usernames during moderation, if nothing else than to help us trolls with recognizable usernames who get unfair moderation simply for being trolls in general than just on a particular post. I can see several0 problems, though:

    1) It won't stop the most dedicated of trollbusters who will keep a separate window open as AC where they can see people's usernames. These are the moderators who most need to be stopped, and yet this restriction won't do so.

    2) It will add a social cost to moderating itself. People might just start throwing their points at crap just to get back to normal mode where they can see who's talking. But it could cut both ways.

    3) It'll increase the amount of noisy replies screaming: "Moderators! Don't you realize streetlawyer/flatpack/etc. is the one saying this?!?!?!" We don't need that.

    4) You'd have to hide .sig files as well. Not a big deal.

    If it is true that the vulnerability is caused by a flaw in the input validation of a CGI (common gateway interface) script, and yet there is no workaround other than removing the Security Hardening Package, this implies that the CGI validation script (overflow.cgi) is not available for modification, so regardless of what license this is under, it's effectively not open source, otherwise there would be a workaround.

    Well, we hardly need reminding of that in this forum, but perhaps somebody should make this point to ExtremeTech and to Sun. The CERT advisory rather oddly avoids this point as well, despite identifying the flawed component.

    I've now transitioned to a RH Linux 7.2 server, and no longer have any problems. Though my users do miss the nice RAQ web interface.

    I would suggest that anyone thinking about getting this kind of server look into the track record of the company for fixing security bugs. In my experience, Sun is VERY slow with the Raq's, and I would never buy / lease one again.

    If it is true that the vulnerability is caused by a flaw in the input validation of a CGI (common gateway interface) script, and yet there is no workaround other than removing the Security Hardening Package, this implies that the CGI validation script (overflow.cgi) is not available for modification, so regardless of what license this is under, it's effectively not open source, otherwise there would be a workaround.


    There are workarounds though including removing the offending package. This is NOT Solaris, it's just a Linux distribution on the Cobalt RaQ. In my honest opinion though I would no longer recommend a Cobalt RaQ to anyone anymore since Sun bought the company. They have gone downhill and patches take months to come out. We didn't get a patch for the Apache ROOT EXPLOIT for over 2 months! Thankfully there is a dedicated community that helps to support the product and there was a workaround using the mod_blowchunks, or you could recompile Apache yourself, but then why pay $4k for an appliance if you're compiling shit? I could just get a $500 x86 box and install Debian on it. Anyway, when it comes time to replace the raq4's I guess we'll just have to hack together scripts to do everything the RaQ did as far as GUI administration or maybe try one of those packages.

    Why would anyone want to slam sun?? Its not like they have tried to be monopolistic or anything. Well, they at least certainly haven't done anything Microsoftish.. I mean look at the wonderful job they have done with JAVA.

    that OS's commonly in use today were originally created for functionality and hardware support, not for "security", and that the foundational structure of these OS's (if not the code itself) predates the advent of the ubiquitous Internet. Trying to shoehorn security into them as an afterthought is often like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole.
