  2. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 59 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine 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.

      Wow, you're right. The news outlets are busting with coverage. Thanks to you we heard it here first. God bless you and your children.

      Parent accuracy aside, looking to Google for contemporary info is just fucking stupid. Remember the whole prison photos debacle? Google rocks, but timely it ain't. All those stories that read "30 minutes ago?" Well, they should read, "30 minutes ago, plus our processing time."

      Looking at Slashdot for contemporary info is equally as fucking stupid. It was a joke. :P

    Seriously, G4Techtv sucks now...except for Kevin and his hot girl friend. Even Kevin seems to have been whipped into submission for the most part. He took a lesser job, and played it off as his choice on TSS. I dunno if this is really the case, but in all honesty he should just leave and go elsewhere. He is too good for the crap that is the new TSS.

    Those fags at G4 have ruined the one thing I still liked to watch on cable...I would seriously ditch cable now if it weren't for the package deal for high speed internet.

    Yeah, offtopic whatever....just replying to something late at night. Forgive me.

    ok, so I read your link. I don't see how the chinese claims to tibet are related to chinese nationals being a threat to US security.
    So, you have a problem with torture. I have too. A big one. If I follow your logic, americans are a threat to american security as they torture people in prison, they do not follow the geneva convention, they want immunity from the high court for war crimes, they wage illegal wars, their new attorney general de facto advocates torture, etc.Hence, americans should be excluded from federally funded research. The indians (which I am sure you hate as well) will be very happy.
    Remember two things:
    - only 280 milion people out of more than 6 bilion people are americans: stop being so american-centric and start thinking about the rest of the world
    - if chinese and middle-eastern (why not russians too) had been excluded from all the federally funded research technology would be well behind where it is now
    PS: I am not chinese, taiwanese, from hong-kong, middle-eastern or russian
