Cringely On Electronic Tapping

sckienle writes "Robert X. Cringely, the PBS one, has an editorial discussing electronic wire-tapping and the Big Brother concerns. There isn't any new information in the article, but he does a nice summation of the state of law enforcement today. This may be a good article to show your family, friends and congressmen."

    You're a troll, nothing else.

    Surveillance is bi-partisan. Notice that the act the author references was enacted in 1994 with Bill Clinton's approval.

    Following my work researching The Linux Gay Conspiracy, I am saddened to announced that I have discovered yet another

    orgy of perverted heterophobic values. My claim lies with the Slashdot mangement.

    First, what kind of name is Slashdot? This is obviously a code word in the homosexual community for something perverted.
    Slashdot is an anagram of LAD SHOTS, which refers to Slashdot's pedophile agenda and T ASS HOLD, which refers to

    some gay sexual posistion that Michael and CmdrTaco enjoy.

    The 'editors' of Slashdot, as they call themselves, are homosexual swingers with cleverly disguised nicknames.

    CmdrTaco (aka "Rob" Malda) is the "head" honcho of Slashdot.

    Cmdr obviously refers to his desire to dominate over his gay partners, and Taco is obviously a sly reference to his colon.

    Update: It is well known that Taco claims to be married to Kate Fent. No one really believes that 'she' is actually his

    wife. We have proof that this 'she' is actually a he. It turns out that Kathleen Fent is an anagram of KHAN FELT EN ET.

    So this Kate of his is really Khan who "felt in it". I will not describe what that means as I am sure you can imagine yourself.

    Michael Sims, who goes as 'michael' on Slashdot, is a well known thug and advancer of homosexual agenda. His name is an anagram of

    ASS CHIME MIL which obviously refers to his desire to flaunt his lower organ.Update: It turns out that Michael

    Sims is also an anagram of ASS LICE, HMM, I?. That is so sick that words cannot describe the horror.

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day is Slashdot's Mac propagandist.

    Macintosh computers are well known as the Gay computer due to their homosexual colors and stylings. An email exchange between

    'Pudge' and Apple HQ have been leaked by a former Apple employee who converted to heterosexuality. These two emails (here and here) have been repeatedly posted on Slashdot, but are

    quickly censored by Slashdot moderators who do not want the public to know about its agenda.Update form Subject Line Troll - it appears the O'Day is just a few letter changes

    away from I'm Gay and rhymes with O'Day. Is anyone surprised that Mr. Pudge is a fudge packing Mac hippie?

    Simoniker, a recent addition to Slashdot has been uncovered as Mr. Goatse himself. Simoniker is a frequent poster to the Games section of Slashdot, obviously

    because he enjoies modded versions of Quake 3 and UT2K3 as a homosexual warrior who likes to 'overcome' his opponents with his

    exagerated sized love member. In addition, Simoniker is an anagram of KEN I RIM SO (Ken is probably his current

    boyfriend) and MEN I IRK SO (which refers to his frustratingly troubled gay relationships, probably due to his rather

    large asshole).

    Please reply with additional information, contributions, and corrections. I will include any additional information and credit

    you with it in my further releases of this report.
