  1. Slashdot and US-ASCII by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Did you ever wonder why Slashdot only supports 7-bit ASCII, i.e. no extended ASCII, Unicode or ISO-8859 characters?

    Because Slashdot is a wholly American and Patriot website, that's why.

    Think about it! Do you want Slashdot to become a forum for terrorists, where they can freely discuss plans for taking away our freedom and killing our brave soldiers through HORRIBLE ACTS OF TERRORISM in their own language and the heathen Arabic script? Unicode, a system that enables terrorists worldwide to plan terrorist actions and communicate through the Internet. Though most try to cover it up, it is no secret to most IT-savvy Americans that Unicode development is partly funded by Al-Qaeda and partly by the French, dictator-supporting government.

    There is none of that anti-social trash here. Slashdot supports only AMERICAN, PATRIOTIC CHARACTERS. Eurotrash, look out, because you can't use your fucking umlauts and ~'s here. We saved your sorry asses in World War II -- the least you can do is show some fucking respect and use our alphabet. Slashdot does not support your anti-American characters. 7-bit ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is commonly known as US-ASCII. This speaks for itself. The one and only choice for PATRIOTIC AMERICANS is US-ASCII, the STANDARD CODE for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I'm proud to be an American, and I'm PROUD be a member of this patriotic, American Slashdot community. I am not going to let freedom-hating terrorists plot evil plans on an American-owned, FREE SPEECH website.

    Do not believe the terrorist propaganda lies.
    Boycott Unicode -- it is a tool of terrorism.
    USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN US-ASCII AND THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON.

    Monsanto is worse than a billion SCOs.

    I hope people who work for or invest in Monsanto live miserable lives followed by extremely painful deaths.

    Thats it... I'm not renewing my subscription to Wired anymore... I pay for pulp, but less than a week later, the stories are online... whats the point? Tired of it.... About the only thing I get for the pulp is more Ads that I cant avoid unlike web surfing with popup blocks enabled...
    I remember when Wired first came out, that was the Mag to read... ahhh.. the 90s... I miss them.
