hi
What.
TROLL!
Mod parent up!?!??
HTH, HAND.
What graphic?
Shutters click as cameras capture the publicity stills, the pictures that will be on the cover of every magazine this week. This is how the world will remember the Olsen twins: matching tight pink blouses highlighting firm, buoyant adolescent breasts, tight black jeans suggesting a level of sexual experience which the twins do not, in fact, possess.
When the pictures are complete, the twins are turned so that they stand facing one another. Their arms are held behind their backs. The bailiffs bring a pair of cuffs for each girl. The cuffs have no keyholes; they are not designed to be removed. This fact is not lost on the girls, who begin to sob helplessly as they feel sharp steel close around their slender wrists.
Twin winches hum to life, pulling the girls up onto the balls of their naked feet. They begin to strangle almost immediately. They emit tormented gurgling sounds as boiled hemp digs into their tender throats. Quivering lips strip a couple more years off their apparent age. Their increasingly desperate facial expressions confirm that the Olsen girls are in no way prepared for the sudden pain. They have led lives of comfort and pampered privilege. They have never known suffering, until now.
The winches fall quiet, their cruel work done. This is where the girls will remain: in that place where the pain is psychologically overwhelming but not physically dangerous, in that horrible place where they could, perhaps, remain forever.
Still, this is an execution. And so the girls must not remain on their toes forever. They listen carefully as the announcer explains the rules of the game. He makes it sound erotic and exciting, and that is surely how the audience sees it. But it does not sound erotic and exciting to Ashley or Mary-Kate. Indeed, it fills their hearts with an almost limitless dread.
If nothing else happens, then in one hour's time, twin trapdoors will open beneath the girls' feet. Because they are already on their toes, there's no chance that their necks will snap. They will have to dance themselves to death--a process which, the announcer explains, could take up to an hour, because the twins don't weigh very much, and because their nooses have been tied loose.
If, on the other hand, one of the girls chooses to take action, she can buy herself a quick, easy death. As the announcer speaks, bailiffs slip small cylindrical remote control units into Ashley's right hand and Mary-Kate's left. If either girl pushes her button, then her winch will lower her down onto the gallows platform, while the trapdoor drops out from under her sister's feet. She may watch in comfort, her breathing perfectly unrestricted, while her sister endures a terminal slow hang. The girl who pushed her button will then have earned a neck-snapping long drop.
The moment the announcer finishes his introduction, the twins begin to negotiate through their tears. At first they are selfless, altruistic:
"You have to drop me, Mary-Kate," Ashley whimpers. Her voice is thick and rough. The noose is tight, and it hurts to speak. "You're my baby sister. I have to take care of you. I can't bear to watch you hang!"
"Baby sister? You're two minutes older than me, Ashley! And how do you think I'd feel, if I had to watch you spend an hour strangling to death? No way! We'll die together!"
"Don't be stupid, Mary." A little anger surfaces now, through the pain, through the laborious breathing which is required to get even a few words out. "Do you know how much that'll hurt?
"Hurts now," Mary-Kate replies. She is being economical with her words, for each one costs her dearly.
"Yes. And we're still on our toes. Airdance...much worse."
"Scared," says Mary-Kate.
"Then push the button."
The girls perspire as they suffer. The thin pink cotton of their tight tops sticks to their skin; the wet fabric is slightly translucent. Naturally, they wear no bras. Their taut, pouting young breasts press up through their blouses, yearning towards the heaven the

So the Slashdot editors believe that having an online duty editor able to correct mistakes is better than getting it right the first time?! Come on Rob, you gotta be kidding us. Get off your fat ass and do something correct the first time so you aren't the internet jackass everyone says you are.
The coffee is starting to kick in, so I read that as "Wish I had mod pants!" Sounds cool but vaguely scarey.
Now it's purple, correctly reaffirming that, yes, Michael _IS_ a fag.
And Debian to boot! Surely an apt-get update should make the bugs go away. Or at least stable, meaning that we have to wait another 4 years before a new version gets released.

of course this will get moderated into oblivion because slashdot workers with unlimited mod points won't want to hear this point of view, but here it is:
i don't have a problem with subscription services, but this 'subscribe to see the story early' has a severe problem.
first of all, it goes against the very principles what slashdot is based on. it gives subscribers the opportunity to have louder voices because they can comment before other people, and those first comments are usually modded to 4s and 5s.
thus subscribers will undoubtably all have excellent karma to post at 2 or more, which gives them louder voices than unsubscribed readers.
ya, it sounds like i'm bitching, but i've got excellent karma so i feel that my rant is quite valid.
subscribers! give them no advertisements! give them email addresses with drive space! give them access to a special high speed server!
but don't give them the ability to have their voices heard any louder than a regular joe.
Somehow I don't think a GeForce 4 is old hardware. I have a GeForce 2, an ATI Fury Pro and an 8Mb Matrox; now that is old(ish) hardware by current standards.

this post might be offtopic, but this point of view is impossible to ever be on-topic.
