Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008
anzha writes "The constant question for 'when' for IPv6 keeps wandering across good ole /. It seems that the Pentagon has decided to put a foot down and put a deadline on their dark and dangerous portion of the net."
Dear rotten.com,
I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/ and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.
FYI the text representation of the bird is:

with a link to the offensive site (http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/) underneath, these "Penis Birds" are posted by Penis Bird Guy, Penis Bird MAN and several other users.

thank god someone's finally taking the initiative, even if it is the baby-killers at the pentagon :P
When did the pentagon ever become an authority with the Internet. Not only do they have some serious problems (ie, the muslim 9/11 attacks) and numerous deadly errors, now they want in on the standards of the internet. my ass they will. i am sick and tired of the government prodding into the business of the global community. read friedman's "the lexus and the olive tree" for the some good insight into this matter.
Holy shit you're fucking ignorant and lame. You sound like you're a twelve year old Rage Against the Machine fan with access to a thesaurus. You need to die. Now.
You are a square headed cock sucker, and most likely wield a small pecker. Die.
if it wasn't for those damn Asians.
I'm telling you, we need to disconnect them from the rest of the web, all they do is spam
anal rape this fucker! i like big cock!
i have a small brain. please explain to me what you say.
As a side note, I make more money then you, too.
I sure as hell bet you do, bitch. I mean, that EIGHT AND ONE INCH cock of yours must get you all the ghey guys on slashdot, especially cowboyneal. considering i am too young to even get a job here in the uk, you must have it real easy wherever you live selling your horse cock for some cold hard moneys
Let's see, the meter is defined as...9,129,631,770 oscillations of the 133Cs atom or alternately as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.[1]
:P

Its origin dates to a botched measure of the earth's curvature.[2]
Very useful!
Adding to the scientific accuracy, the kilogram is based on the weight of one cubic decimeter of water. Don't worry about the arbitrary nature of this decision - it is scientific!
I'm glad it doesn't have some mundane meaning like "one tea-spoon" or "one table spoon". Also, we all know base-10 is the only natural unit for calculation. What were the Babylonians thinking when they used base 60? Nobody ever needs to divide things into thirds.
250mg is so much easier to say than "quarter pound"! (just count the syllables if you don't believe me) Likewise, 333mm is so much more precise than 4 inches.
At least the metric system is scientific!

I mean really, +5 for posting the results of a google search? Could the mods please stop being so lazy with their points, some of us want to read an interesting discussion at +3, not pages of mind numbing Karma whoring.
