      Please reply to:dickson_mubane2@dcemail.com
      Good Day Sir,
      With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope
      this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to
      receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
      However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction,
      which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity and from
      a family with high moral respect . My name is Dickson Mubane, the first
      son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe,
      murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, My
      motherand Idecided to contact you through email, after searching for
      contacts via the internet,as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I
      am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I
      apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
      The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a
      business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe,
      as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act
      Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black
      farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for saw
      the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered, he withdrew
      all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares
      in major companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of
      US$50.million (Fifty million, US dollars),
      in a private security company. This money was deposited with this
      Private Security company for safety and security reasons, and was to
      be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals
      establishment of new farms in Europe.
      President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and
      some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father
      and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my
      inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a
      while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder
      attempts, I fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands
      where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here
      to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has
      a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in
      Johannesburg down here. I need you to assist in receiving this
      consignment from the security compamy. Since the law of Netherlands
      prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to be involved in such transactions and my
      mother advised that it will be better for our foreign partner to help receive
      this fund to avoid any eye brown being raised by Robert Mugabe, this is why I am
      seeking a genuine and reliable partner,who will assist in receiving the funds
      and also investing it wisely in a profitable venture.You have to understand that
      this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your hands, as a result
      of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do
      for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company
      from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from
      Johannesburg,South Africa to their branch in The Netherlands. The company will be
      legally informed of you representing my family.
      For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can
      choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping my
      family investing this funds, or you can go into partnership with me for
      the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
      Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I
      have also set aside 1% of this money for all kinds of expenses that
      come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% of the total sum for Charity
      donation.
      If you prefer to accept the 10%

    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 [microsoft.com] is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
    • Richard M. Stallman [geocities.com], spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
    • Alan Cox [microsoft.com] 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 [goatse.cx] propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, 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 [microsoft.com], 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 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted [salon.com] on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

    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 [comp-u-geek.net] slut [rotten.com]!

    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 [goatse.cx] perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children [slashdot.org]. To quote from the article linked:

    'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

    Is this why you were touching your penis [rotten.com] in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

    We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual [goatse.cx] terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his

    I was sitting here in my garage. Yep thats were my laptop is, thats were I do work, remote update and some coding.

    I live in a nice part of town, or so I think.
    I was listening to Pink Floyd, a boot, queitly. I was updating my server, and then the cat ran by. I thought nothing of it. Then my garage door started opening up. There was a light, and then I realized behind me was an intruder! Someone wanted in my garage! Mother phucker! I was pisssed I openend that door real fast and ran out, but they ran faster then me.
    I am so frazzeled now!
    The only other time I had a break in was when I was movining. They took everything that was important to me. I cant beleive I let these guys get away. I wonder now what I would have done to them. There is nothing lower then a thief.

    Excuse it nothing to with whatever the post is, but thats what I have going on right now.
