Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Dark of Night...

Digital_Quartz writes "This week's I, Cringely discusses possible plans for ensuring your data survives Hurricane Frances. I've always though remote backups would be the best solution to a problem like this. Maybe even something as simple as hiding a DVD-R under your desk at work, with all your worldly data on it. How do you secure your precious data against earthquakes, hurricanes, and swarms of locusts?" Reader pillageplunder writes "CNN is reporting: 'Scientists say more storms like Frances -- both very intense and very large -- are likely.' They theorize that warming oceans natural cycles are setting the stage. Some interesting facts throughout the article... Forecasting has gotten better, with a 3 day forecast now having a margin of error or 'only' 200 miles." And an anonymous reader writes "For those peer-2-peer geeks stuck in hurricane Frances, you can now listen to Central Florida Indymedia's coverage of the hurricane. In addition to giving updates about the hurricane, they are playing music, interviews, and relaying other radio stations. Possibly more interesting than the content to Slashdot readers will be the fact that it is being done via peer-2-peer. The java program p2p-radio from p2p-radio.sourceforge.net is being used in conjunction with shoutcast to deliver the content. Details on how to connect are available here on Tampa Indymedia's Website."

Ever see Cringlys attempt at building an airplane?

[Anonymous Coward]

Proves he's an incompetant, self-abosrbed asshole. The fact that calls his column 'I, Cringly' is just more proof.

Jerk.

We tell YOU how this is the fault of the Jews and is just a effort (funded by the facist US goverment) to harm the Arabs!

Help Penisbird Break 1000 On StatsMeasure!

[Anonymous Coward]

Siminogger told me that Kathleen Fent, the buck-toothed wore of a wife of Rob Malda (also known as Command Her Taco) gives teethy blowjobs.

Rumors that CmdrTaco has a small penis have been confirmed. CowboyNeal, who is a fucking huge blimp confirmed this, as a long time dick slurper of his. Wil Wheaton, who also has a small penis had no comment other than OMG BEAM ME UP INTO URANUS.

JEWS DID WTC

Michael Sims, who hijacks domain names from their legimate organizations had no comment, other than to dupe a story poster earlier by Simonigger

INTRODUCTION
About Jews

Jews are, like Muslims, Semitic peoples from the middle east.
The similarity ends there. Where Muslims have worked for many
centuries to become a tolerant and perceptive religion, the Jew
has closed his mind to any developments that do not benefit
Zionism, or the mindless theory that Jews are the "chosen race
of God" and that their goal is to inherit the earth by force.

About this FAQ

This FAQ was assembled by devout believers who realize that the
current U.S.-led war in the middle east is nothing more than a
crusade by a Christian nation on the part of the Jews. Our goal
is to open discussion on the symbolic, liturgical and
ecclesiastical definitions of Jews, Jewishness and Judaism, in
the context of traditional Muslim thinking.

PART A: ORIGINS OF JEWS
A1. In the Koran

Chapter 5 ('The Table') in the Koran:

Allah made a covenant with the Israelites and raised among them
twelve chieftains. He said: 'I shall be with you. If you attend
to your prayers and pay the alms-tax; if you believe in My
apostles and assist them and give Allah a generous loan, I shall
forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens watered by
running streams. But he that hereafter denies Me shall stray
from the right path.'

But because they broke their covenant We laid on them Our curse
and hardened their hearts. They have perverted the words of the
Scriptures and forgotten much of what they were enjoined. You
will find them ever deceitful, except for a few of them. But
pardon them and bear with them. Allah loves the righteous.

***

Say: 'Shall I tell you who will receive the worse reward from
Allah? Those on whom Allah has laid His curse and with whom He
has been angry, transforming them into apes and swine, and
those who worship false gods. Worse is the plight of these,
and farther they have strayed from the right path.'

A2. In Islamic Scholarship

The Jews are the sons of monkeys and pigs (5,60). (For the idea
that Jews are related to pigs and monkeys see, for example,
Musnad al-Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, (Beirut 1969) vol. 3, p. 241.
See also pages 348, 395, 397, 421, and vol. 6, p. 135.)
(http://www.rense.com/general5/holy.htm)

A3. As Applies to Zionism

An Irish newspaper sampled this statement of clarity:

Mr Izzat Ibrahim, vice-chairman of the Revolutionary
Command Council representing President Saddam Hussein,
said: "We demand from the Islamic and Arab nation to rise
quickly to expel the sons of monkeys and pigs, strangers on
the land."

Words of a Muslim activist, as reported on CNN:

Two months ago, in his prayer sermon of July 11, 1997, Sabri
also called for the destruction of America. Following are
excerpts from his July sermon, broadcast on the Voice of
Palestine:

[Halfbaked Plan]

I've always known you were a nut. Now you've posted something to link back to as proof when you rant again.

Halfbaked Plan sinking...

[Anonymous Coward]

Hello, Mr. Halfbaked Plan ( apt name, that ) -

IMO, Doc Ruby cannot fairly be judged a nut by his post above. I think it far more likely he is an intelligent and thoughtful person who has a far better grasp of the situation than the millions of SUV-driving cretins who so blithely ignore the very real need to minimize one's wasteful consumption of energy sources which
produce so much waste heat ( cars are maybe 30% thermally efficient, in a best-case scenario ).

This post is NOT from Doc Ruby, nor do I know that person.

I simply call bullshit when I see it.

( sorry for the funky line breaks...)

Re:While we're on the subject,

[Anonymous Coward]

then... doesn't that make you an even bigger idiot for remaining in the "heartland" and paying taxes? seeing as how you're supporting the entire east and west coasts and eveything? maybe it's time for a little tough love. maybe you should just move out of the country and take your vote with you. that'll teach us to build houses in places where we want them! damn pesky freedom! seriously, learn english. ok?
