GNAA reactionaries take Condoleezza Rice hostage GNAA reactionaries take Condoleezza Rice hostage Zeikfried - Associated Press, America In a dawn raid that shocked and overwhelmed local security in its ferocity, the normally pacifistic forces of the Gay Nigger Assocation of America (seemingly backed up by a highly trained militia recruited from the French district of New Orleans), attacked and captured Americas second most notorious Nigger, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. As baffled secret service officials still searched for a motive, their questions were soon answered in the form of a video (distributed via Ogrish.com) showing a now naked and bound Rice knelt before her captors, who were all masked and of african-american descent. In a carefully prepared statement, Miss Rice stated that her captors had been accommodating, providing her with fresh dongs and gay nigger seed to sustain her during the difficult journey to her current location, which is believed to be Central Nigeria. His voice muffled by the cloth covering all but his eyes, the leader of the kidnappers (who referred to himself as "Tuvai"), demanded the release of one of their members, known only as "l0de", currently being held and beaten with sacks of Jewish gold in the notorious Camp X-ray (located in US naval base of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba). The dark men then chillingly warned that "If our demands were not met within 72 hours, we shall decapitate the zionist with our dongs". In response, a disheveled President Bush, who had to postpone his somewhat mysterious personal vacation to Columbia, stated that if Miss Rice was not returned immediately he would "personally march to Nigeria himself" to see the utter destruction of the GNAA. After being silently informed by the carefully hovering Dick Cheney that Nigeria was infact across several thousand miles of Ocean and such a feat was impossible, the mobilsation of the US Airforce began, with Nigerian capital Abuja City already described by Fox News as "a smoking ruin". Although Reuters, AP and the BBC have maintained that it is "unharmed and currently in the middle of a mass orgy". OSTG was unavailible for comment, however it has been confirmed via Netcraft that LostCluster has been given a pre-emptive +5, fellatio from Slashdot editor Michael Sims, several hours before the articles posting. About l0de: Long time GNAA and Teens4christ member l0de has amassed a loyal following both among the listeners to his weekly "l0de radio hour" internet broadcast/terrorist sleeper cell activation code, and among the AIDS ridden homosexuals that frequent the New Orleans area. His disappearance soon after his arrest by local authorities has been blamed on the Secret Service, who, it is alleged, were tipped off an hour previously regarding threats made by l0de on his September 11th lrh special to hijack a Carnival Cruise Ship and ram it into the White House.

LINUX: Free as in gay anal rape.
;)
Hey, I don't know who *your* source is, but where I come from, you have to *pay* for gay anal rape.
But saying so doesn't make it so. Music traffic on websites, ICQ and Hotline (or just plain dumb, maybe) belief that the Pinkerton execs would hear these messages, I would guess that the interest of a single politician " chatting " with the tens of millions of dollars that pour into and through Las Vegas, the string of bizarre homicides needed to sustain a show like this is different.

Notes on the Common Unix Printing System and Slackware Written by Al Grimstad Contributing editor John Jenkins Introduction Recent versions of Slackware Linux have included an alternative to the standard BSD style LPR-ng printing system, this system is known as CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System). So, What Is CUPS? (Taken from the CUPS FAQ) CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces. CUPS is licensed under the GNU General Public License and GNU Library General Public License. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon ("LPD"), Server Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world printing under UNIX. CUPS includes an image file RIP (raster image processor) that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers. A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters. Documentation resources for cups administrators and users are listed at the end of this article. Package Installation You must choose between the cups package and the lprng and apsfilter packages as various printing commands are symlinks and the symlinks are based on the last installed package. Have a look at the output of ls -l /usr/bin/lp* /usr/sbin/lp*. You also need, at least, the espgs package, a variant of ghostscript, installed. Specific printers are supported in the hpijs and gimp-print packages.
Required Slackware Packages
For slackware current:
a/cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz
ap/espgs-7.07.1-i486-2.tgz
ap/hpijs-1.5-i486-2.tgz
ap/gimp-print-4.2.6-i486-1.tgz
For slackware 9.1:
a/cups-1.1.19-i486-3.tgz
ap/espgs-7.05.6-i486-2.tgz
ap/hpijs-1.4.1-i486-2.tgz
ap/gimp-print-4.2.5-i386-1.tgz
Once the cups packages are installed, the cups daemon needs to be running for the cups system to function. Make sure that /etc/rc.d/rc.cups is executable and cups will be started the next time you boot your system. To start cups immediately after installation, run:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
Installing a Printer via CUPS
There are two minimum pieces of information you must tell the cups system when you install a printer, how to connect to the printer, e.g., via parallel, usb or network spooling interface, and which postscript printer description (PPD) file to use for processing print jobs. Note that, if you want cups to spool only and in no way process print jobs, you can configure a ?raw? queue and will not need a PPD file. Normally, you probably don?t want to do this.
To see which ?backend? interfaces your system supports, look at the output of
$ /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
The backends are of two kinds, local connections, e.g.,
direct canon:/dev/lp0
direct epson:/dev/lp0
direct parallel:/dev/lp0 ...
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0
direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1 ...
and network connections, e.g.,
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
network smb
If you are using a standard slackware 2.4 kernel, parallel port printing support is built as a kernel module. If your output of lpinfo does not contain the /dev/lp0 interfaces, you?ll need to load the lp module: /sbin/modprobe lp
and restart cupsd. If you plan to print to the parallel port, you will want to uncomment a line like this in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, so that the parallel port will be available f
Watching the Republican convention and seeing Sen. John McCain interrupted after every five or so words by ecstatic ovations and minutes-long chants of "four more years," I couldn't help but compare it to the somewhat more moderate Democratic National Convention and also to George Orwell's "Animal Farm."
You may remember in that prophetic novel that the pigs, by virtue of their superior minds, take over the farm and lead the other animals. At first, there is some effort at beneficial debate among the animals, but the pigs soon learn that the sheep, the stupidest of the animals, cannot follow a debate but can be taught the essential chant: "Four legs good, two legs bad!" When debate threatens, the pigs easily herd the sheep into a clamorous bleating that drowns out all further discussion.
"Four legs good, two legs bad" is indistinguishable from the bleating of "four more years," have you noticed?

"Drugs found in James' system at the time of his death included cocaine, methamphetamine and prescription drugs Xanax, Valium, Wellbutrin, Celexa, Vicodin and Digoxin. Truly an American hero."
Thanks a lot.You've just given me a raging hard-on at work. I'd prefer to read about a leather-clad, dominatrix Condi. Just think about it. She and maybe Hillary Clinton forcing you into submission... Condi is a damn hot lady. I don't know if it her ass, intelligence or the power she wields that turns me on the most...
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - former Ramones singer Johnny Ramone was found dead in his Los Angeles home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
This old topic I've talked about
Broke its own heart,
Poured it in the ground.
Big red troll grew up and out,
Throws up it's rants,
Spins us all round and round.
I know all this and more.
Take your hat off
when responding to me,
and be there when I feed the troll.
If you have no life and want to tinker all day you get Gentoo, Slackware, Arch etc.
You'd think this would be mod'ed flamebait or troll allready, this being slashdot and all?
And yes, I use Slack and as current state of affairs I have no life :)
