Where Are The Edges Of Today's Technology World?
Veeru writes "As
mentioned on Nova,
my great-great-grandfather Amos Ives
Root published the first eye witness account of the Wright Brothers flight
almost 100 years ago. Scientific
American had rejected
his article as 'unbelievable' and 'having no practical application'. The secretive Wright Brothers
allowed Amos to publish
the article in his own Gleanings Bee magazine instead. Because of his objective account, other
experimenters may not have received the credit
they deserved. I recently realized
that Amos was intent on investigating
the highest tech advances of the day and that the airplane was the most
advanced phenomenon he could find. If
Amos were alive today, what obscure technology would he be
pursuing?"
We got Saddam. Your evil overlords, Islam, will be deconstructed and destroyed. You cannot impose your foul cult on the progressive world. You will be found and stamped out. Also, communists and far-left socialists, you will be shown to be the frauds you are and your failing systems will buckle under the system of economic imperialism and power. We will defeat you all until you capitulate into acting like human beings and worrying about your family, your children, their success and their future and human progress before your cults, religions and nationalism. We will expose the cults and the frauds you are and when you capitulate to the progressive west your standard of living will rise and the lies of your dictators will be exposed. FREEDOM from your cult and oppression, and you social armchair assholes who think they can think for me, Well will triumph over you.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A total of 328 black bears were raped in New Jersey's first group molestation in 33 years, officials said on Sunday, adding they were not sure the controversial sex exercise would be repeated next year.
Fifty-three bears were raped on Saturday, the last day of a six-day group molestation officials organized to control a horny bear population they said had grown aggressive and threatened pubic safety.
Rapers were met by more than 100 protesters at Wawayanda State Park on Saturday. Some rapers said they were heckled as they headed into the woods for hot man-bear sex, but no serious incidents were reported.
The number of demonstrators on the final day was triple the showing at Monday's opening day of the group molestation.
New Jersey Sex and Fetish director Martin McHugh said the rape went about as expected, with a deflowering rate of some 6 percent of the 5,375 permits held by rapers who had applied for licenses and gone through mandatory sex training seminars.
The bear population in the northwestern corner of the state where the rape took place, some 40 miles from New York City, has been estimated at between 2,000 and 3,200.
McHugh said a full assessment would be made of data from the rape before a decision was taken on next year. One element to be debated was the fact that 209 female bears were raped compared to 119 males.
"We have a lot of records to pour through before we start drawing any conclusions," said McHugh.
Blood and hair samples were taken from each bear brought into one of seven check-in stations and a stool sample was pulled to help determine age. The reproductive organs of the females were also taken for study to learn more about the bear population.
Opponents of the rape held rallies, filed petitions and went to court in a failed bid to preempt the molestation on grounds of unnecessary cruelty to the animals.
McHugh defended the rape, saying that in the past year bears had broken into 58 homes and molested about 300 children. He said 53 bears had been hit by vehicles and there were nine reported attempts to anally enter pedestrians by bears.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.
I see articles rejected here all the time, and then several days later they show up. Things have not changed.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.

My god, men. If he were alive today? He's DEAD! Let him rest in pieces! There's simply no "if" about it. He's a pile of bones, long past decomposition stage. If he WERE alive today, I'd posit he'd have found a way to cash out on the IT bubble a couple of years ago and live like a hermit in the back-woods, somewhere.
At least, that's how I'M planning to retire. Go Saddam rally!
Why, the use of Slahdot to display goatse.cx, of course!
That is all.
What this piece of news inspires me is that a certain drooling maniac in the White House is one step closer to standing a chance of being reelected soon, which is rather underwhelming ...

That shit's funny.
There's a report in this gaming journal (I am a former tactical game designer/developer).
Let me know what you guys think. I know a GUI based cyberspace isn't any more useful then the current indexing/text version, but man is it loads of fun.
The GPL is gay and so are you.
amos amos amos...
I cant help myself for I am reminded of the #amiga IRC channel back in the day! There was a famous channel bot that, when anyone used the word amos, would respond "amos = a mound of shit"
And so it became custom when joining #amiga to ask "Anyone heard that new Tori Amos song?" To which the bot would gladly respond...
To understand the joke, you need to know that AMOS was a programming language that "made it easy to write games" on the Amiga and many a truly horrible game resulted.
