The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch
Fiz Ocelot writes "Reuters reports that the last Atlas 2 rocket was launched on Tuesday. The rocket was the last to launch the old-fashioned way. For this launch, the 120-member team was inside a blockhouse 1,400 feet from the launch pad. It was also the end of an era dating back to the 1950s, when most rockets, including early manned flights, were launched from concrete blockhouses adjacent to the pads."
feel free to flame
hahahahahhhahaha
... oh yaaaaa they don't have oil! no need to attack them!
.... while you sit there happily sending your sons and daughters to their deaths in Iraq.
hahahahaahahahah
truth hurts dont it!
1000 of your countrymen have died so far, as well as many tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians over the lie of WMD's.
Canada refused to invade Iraq because there was no proof that there really was WMD's. You damn americans treated us like shit for thinking for ourselves but the truth is out there now.
We were right, you were lied to.
Liberate Iraq? what about all the other dictatorships in the world that need liberating? What about Zimbabwe? What about Sudan? What about CUBA 90 miles south of you? What about Pakistan, the dictatorship where most of the 911 pilots came from!!!!
Bush's true mission was a total success, he convinced you stupid ignorant fucking americans that you had something to fear about Iraq, sending 200,000 troops there while only putting 15,000 troops into Afghanistan where THE REAL THREAT ORIGINATED! he successfully destabilized the world oil markets, pretty much eliminating Iraqi oil from the markets and more than doubling the price of oil so that he and his saudi oil friends could get wayyy richer right out of your pocket.
In other words, what you really meant to say was that the new satellite replaces the one they use to watch you lovingly suck your president's cock every time you fuel up your car.
Look at that smile! you betcha! Dubya loves that feeling! right from your wallet into his pants! ohhh baby!

If someone cannot gain karma themselves they truly do not deserve it.
Honestly, how hard is it to post something along the lines of "Well, thats why McBride should be in jail" or "just another example of Windoze INsecurity!" or "many eyes lead to better code"? All guaranteed to get at least 1 or 2 mod points.

It is official; Netcraft confirms: Trolling is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Troll community when IDC confirmed that Troll post share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all postings. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Trolls have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Trolling is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by faaling dead last in the recent net spelling test.
You don't need to be a Geller to predict Trolling's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Trolls because Trolls are dying. Things are looking very bad for Trolls. As many of us are already aware, Trolls continue to lose first post share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
anti-slash is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core Trolls. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Trolls timecop and Seth Winklestein only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Trolling is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
anti-slash admin Seth states that there are 7000 users of anti-slash. How many GNAA members are there? Let's see. The number of anti-slash versus GNAA posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 GNAA. GNAA posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of anti-slash posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of that other site Kuro5hin. A recent article put GNAA at about 80 percent of the Troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Trolls. This is consistent with the number of troll Slashdot posts.
Due to the troubles of anti-slash, abysmal rants and so on, GNAA is going out of business and will probably be taken over by anti-slash who sell trolling software. Now anti-slash is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that GNAA has steadily declined in market share. Trolling is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Trolling is to survive at all it will be among a handful of dilettante dabblers. Trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Trolling is dead.
Fact: Trolling is dying

Get toe0gh. I hope
