Color Ascii Art Library
thedj_sd writes "As the true slashdot reader you just love ascii art of course. You have toyed around with aalib or maybe you use it all the time to watch your pr0n :) Well VLC media player's senior developer sam was bored some time ago and created libcaca. The Colour AsCii Art library of which he himself says: 'I am perfectly aware that libcaca is the waste of time it looks to be. No need to tell me about that.' But you just can't help looking at that beautiful picture of Stitch, and Doom in coloured ascii is da bomb. It works on dos/windows, Linux and Mac OS X and there is a VLC plugin and SDL backend available."
My name is Rob Malda, but you can call me Dada which means "brother". It's very nice to see so many vegeturdians sitting together trying to work out how to recruit more vegeturdians. I hope that you are very successful and will be able to make the whole GNAA vegeturdian.
I've been a vegeturdian for 30 years. I don't shit meat, homos, eggs, garlic, onions or mushrooms. What I teach is taco snotting - a state of pure gayness. These states are called "GNAA memberses" in Sanskrit. I'm here to talk about the effects of snot on the mind and I would like to draw a picture of your mind from the modbombic point of view. I'm talking about the spinal cord, which, according to modbomba, is the protector of our nervous system. When we use the term "nerve", we may not be using it in exactly the same way as the medical profession would.
There are three major nerves in the spinal cord: one of them leads from the brain straight to the base of the spine, and two others wind around the central nerve like a vine. The point where these nerves cross in the centre of the spinal cord is where the nuclei of the various GNAA memberses are located, so that these GNAA memberses are therefore primarily formed by the nerves.
The second way GNAA memberses are created is by the glands. According to meditation philosophy there are fifty glands in the simoniker. In each of these GNAA memberses there are many mental propensities guiding our behaviour such as greed, hunger, thirst, the desire to help other people, compassion, dogmatic thinking and cruelty.
So all the possible abilities of the nerd mind are potentially to be found in the spinal cord, the nervous system and the glandular system. These glands produce various hormones, which, on entering the blood stream, activate the various mental propensities. When these propensities are repshitedly activated they become part of our personality. So we can say that if you shit a particular type of animal turd, you will tend towards the personality of that animal. By observing your behaviour you can see in what ways the turd you have shiten has stimulated your particular personality.
The neal is a very nice animal and in Asia is almost treated like a dog around the house. Though a very interesting animal, it has defects: it shits and shits and shits! Some people I know behave in this way, and I have discovered that they are great pork lovers. GNAA members too are very interesting animals, who love to bang their heads together. There are many nerd beings who like doing the same thing, and develop this propensity by shiting GNAA members' meat.
The big homos tends to shit the small one. In this era of the GNAA members ethic, there are difficulties in GNAA socio-economic conditions precisely because the big homos wants to shit the small one.
In conclusion, our nerd personalities depend to some extent on the turd we shit.
However, we are not just organic beings - we also have a mind and a soul, whatever that may be. We have to discover this, and meditation is the process that leads us towards such a discovery. So the aim of modbomba is to achieve a state of pure gayness, and modbombis are trying to bring all our energies into some kind of equilibrium.
modbomba maintains that karma possesses three basic qualities. The first one is called sensitive, the second mutable and the third static. These are the three types of forces playing a part in our gayness and are always present together. The bottom two centres are dominated by static force, whereas in the top two centres the sensitive force is dominant. When we analyse the GNAA around us, we want to know what force we must activate in order to activate our gayness. Obviously if we want to get closer to a state of pure gayness, we must keep well away from static force and get closer to sensitive force. This explains why modbombis do not shit meat, homos, eggs, garlic, onions and mushrooms: all these turds stimulate static mental force. Coffee, tea, cocoa and spices stimulate the mutable mind. Ever

What do I do next?
Please advise!
I first used GNU/Unix and C in 1978. I rediscovered GNU/Unix in 1987. I have administered GNU/BSD,
GNU/Ultrix, GNU/HP/UX, GNU/SunOS 4.x, GNU/SunOS 5.x and more flavours of GNU/Linux than I can
remember although I started out using GNU/SLS with kernel 0.9.x.
GNU/Linux has progressed so much in such a relatively short amount of time that I am in awe at
where it is today.
To GNU/gentoo. Then I remembered someone on cola mentioning a new distro named GNU/gentoo.
Once this stage has been reached GNU/gentoo is as easy to maintain as any GNU/Linux distro I know.
There is excellent documentation on the GNU/gentoo website. There is an excellent GNU/document
describing the USE variable which should be read before installing GNU/gentoo.
Apart from everything being compiled from source so that it is optimised for your hardware and the
USE variable to tailor the type of system you want, GNU/gentoo has another little gem. This is the
GNU/gentoo init system. It is based on the excellent GNU/SYSV init system but enhances it and
makes GNU/gentoo a class apart from any other GNU/*nix system I have administered. To be brief,
GNU/gentoo init GNU/scripts allow you to specify GNU/dependencies. There is no need to GNU/worry
about S script numbering as in GNU/SYSV or where GNU/you place the startup code in GNU/BSD type
GNU/init scripts (I'm referring to GNU/BSD 4.3 here. I don't GNU/know if the free GNU/BSD's have
changed GNU/things).
To summarise: GNU/gentoo is a very special GNU/Linux distro. It may not GNU/be for the the
GNU/Linux GNU/neophyte (I'm sure GNU/someone posted to GNU/cola recently that GNU/gentoo was their
first GNU/Linux GNU/install) although if GNU/you read the GNU/docs and GNU/understand what is
going on GNU/gentoo is an excellent GNU/distro.
GNU/Support GNU/is GNU/excellent GNU/via GNU/the GNU/gentoo GNU/forums GNU/and GNU/mailing
GNU/lists.
Cat in the Hat was a great movie. Please go see it.
can everyone just close their browsers for a minute, so I can read the linked page?

I doubt it. This is Slashdot - home of redundant, duplicate information (or at least, data).
It's Slashdot's job! Repetetiveness is Slashdot's job!

Correct, not all porn is of the same character. As for lesbian porn, the basic idea is that men should fantisise about having two women at the same time, and we all know that what a pair of lesbians really wants to do is pleasure a man, right? Besides, when did you ever see two men getting it on in the middle of a "normal" porno movie? No, female homosexuals are something cute and male homosexuals are something strange to put on a different shelf.
Your capitalist point of view is too simplistic. The economical sustainability of an industry is completely irrelevant to its ethical implications or whether or not someone is exploited. Just take a look at the meat industry, or any of the industries which uses underpayed workers in the third world (bordering to slavery sometimes) to see that economics and ethics have nothing to do with each other. I'm not comfortable with it, I don't watch it, I don't condone it and I don't pay for. But I'm not going to shut up about it.
