Slashdot Mirror
Twin Prime Proof Erroneous
mindriot writes "The fairly recent perceived breakthrough in prime number theory regarding twin primes, as mentioned on slashdot, is apparently not quite perfect: 'On April 23rd, Andrew Granville of the Universite de Montreal and K. Soundararajan of the University of Michigan found a technical difficulty buried in one of the arguments in the preprint of Goldston and Yildrim. The main issue is that some quantities which were believed to be small error terms are actually the same order of magnitude as the main term. For now this difficulty remains unresolved.' A more detailed technical description is also available."

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.
What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:
Linus Torvalds is an anagram of SLIT ANUS OR VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
Richard M. Stallman , spokespervert for the Gaysex is Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of MANS CRAM THRILL AD.
Alan Cox is barely an anagram of ANAL COX which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.
I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, [Buy At Amazon] is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for SECONDARY RIM and CORD IN MY ARSE. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.
Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for "Felch Male" - a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, "felching" is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into "e-male."
As far as Richard "(cock)Master" Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following:
And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!
Speaking about "flaming," who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:
Is this why you were touching your penis in

How about calculating the rate of ring growth in trees as well? How about the speed that paint will dry at various temperatures?

i would like ot say hi to 222yuu
What does everyone think about that? I'd like to have some other people's opinions here. I value the opinion of the Slashdot community and would appreciate feedback.
HAHAHA you must feel like suck idiots! Next time, check the stories!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
And I thought it was just the wrong file name!

I am disappointed by your moderation. My only conclusion is that this has been influenced by the evil corporation known as Microsoft. Please fix this grievous misappropriation of mod points ASAP.
Yours truly, m$ is teh sux0r
I sold you and you sold me:

You're lucky I used up all of my modpoints modding your previous comments down overrated, or else this really would get a big, fat, overrated moderation. Wait a minute... bugger.
You may not agree with what I'm saying but I'll kill you for my right to say it
Nineball, you didn't succeed in modding down all my previous comments Overrated, and the ones you did mod down were already all at Score: 1 so it didn't matter anyway. I've got enough karma to handle the quite insignificant karma deduction in either case. You missed some of my previous comments such as those at6 091&cid=6085936 and6 6091&cid=6085842.

Shouldn't we be looking for the cures instead?
I am firmly convinced that people with this attitude should be killed and eradicated from the face of the earth as soon as possible. Perhaps I should not "feed the troll", but rest assured this shall be the vilest meal this troll will eat, and I've karma to burn.
Trust too, alas, that I'm far too much of a coward to seek out this troll and perform the deed myself. But, this is Slashdot, and rants rein supreme, so I shall rant on.
When someone suggests "Shouldn't we...," what they really mean, is "shouldn't someone other than me but who I shall include in a collective that includes me" perform some deed, presumably for my benefit, because they appear to have the requesite ability.
Gee, with that line of thinking, "Shouldn't that hot girl in the skin tight pants pull them down while I fuck her good and hard?" After all, she has a body made for screwing, and owes it to the rest of us, no?
Well, NO!, she doesn't (and yes, this does sadden me some, but I'll get over it), and neither do we owe our skill to others without our consent.
You, sir (and I use the salutation reluctantly and with the intent of irony), would enslave those who could execute your wishes. The world of free men and women has no need of such slavemasters. Begone! And, whilst I may be coward enough to spare your life, and not rip it from your soul, rest assured that I dream and pray for your violent, and painful demise. Painful certainly, for no doubt this rant will be modded to the oblivion reserved for those who continue to cherish liberty in a world of comfortable enslavement, and the thought of a painful end doth grant solace over the inevitable loss of karma this post will bring.
You could've hired me.
