I am more shocked that Slashdot is covering this desaster so late! I know Slashdo is a tech portal but this is like not covering 9/11 when it happened.
Spelling errors were made for your amusement only...
"allah is great!" now, do we ?
Don't get me wrong, but this is beautiful stuff. It could almost challenge 9/11 for the title of Ultimate Art Exhibition.
Is that what people do for a living nowadays? Take links that have been circulating for a week on del.icio.us, and whore them to Slashdot in return for crookie mookie smookie points? Bwahahahahahahahaha. Soon, del.icio.us will become a FUTURE mirror of Slashdot -- one will be able to glimpse what Slashdot will contain the next week, merely by looking at this week's del.icio.us listings.
The average American thinks his/her life is worth 400 Arabs or Asians, anyday.
Fuck you. *Series of obscene gestures*
First of all, the spelling errors: it's disaster not desaster, Slashdot not Slashdot.
Second off, this is a technology site, not a human interest site. It's covered it before, no need to link. This has been on the front page since disaster relief was set up, and it doesn't even pertain to the site's main interest.
Third of all, fuck you. *Series of obscene gestures*
Fourth, here's a Peace Sign for all of the British people reading this comment, no offense meant to the french over that nasty hundred years war thing.
Oh yea, and fuck you you karma whoring anti-site non spelling non grammatically correct negative bastard. Go look at the pictures, it's utter destruction. I'd mod you down if I participated in moderation, but a string of obsenities makes me feel better you fucking bridge dweller.
Now, editors, mod this post down(I'll even use my bonus for once), abuse your infinite powers for good, because it deserves it.
And screw you asshole.
The key to the enjoyment of pop music is to replace any instance of "love" with "C.H.U.D."
Here some Emule/Edonkey Links to private videos of this destater... You want to beat these people either for:

- just standing there on a safe spot and taping not helping people crying for help in the water

its 911 times a hundred...
dear god, thats 91100
all you are, is all you are, i'm so sorry for you.
Early this morning (Aust time) the media were reporting the level of aid committed by the Aust government* to be AUD$35M and the US government* USD$45M (~AUD$57M) Last time I checked the US population was 15x the Aust population. * figures will no doubt increase through the day
Just a slight better one.
every so often Mother Nature decides she needs to show everyone who's boss.
Bullshit. There is no Mother Nature, and "she" does not decide anything. We are learning more about our world, and how to help all people live on it. Let's drop this "man vs. nature" metaphor crap, and put some technology to work: warning systems, better construction technologies, urban designs that don't funnel incoming waves, etc.
Don't feel like you need to relate to forces of nature as a person or a God. It's a damn planet. Learn it; study it; change it; preserve it.
Science will set you free. If you don't want to help fix things, then go back praying to your God-of-Stem-Cells or whatever the fuck religion is clouding your mind.
I'm sure most of Slashdot agrees with you. It's only funny when Americans die.
God damn you French people! After all, all you ever do is surrender and eat fucking cheese, except when you're busy defacing Jewish cemetaries and murdering each other in the streets. And let's not forget how bad you smell. After all, if one Frenchman is like that, they all must be, right? RIGHT?
(Parent was a troll. Get over it. Stop pretending all Americans are exactly the same.)

Mod me down, you fucking twits. Go ahead. I dare you.

It'll matter to me when the price of Ram starts going up again. Until then - I don't give a damn.
Clinton made me a Republican. Bush made me a Libertarian. Trump is making me question reality.
On the bright side, look at all the fish that washed inland. At least they wont starve. http://www.digitalglobe.com/images/tsunami/banda_a ceh_debris_dec28_2004_dg.jpg

Whatever you do, don't donate to the Red Cross. When 9/11 occurred they took donations intended to help victims of 9/11 and used it elsewhere. Your money is better allocated to other relief organizations if you want it to get where you intend for it to go... In my eyes, and many others, the Red Cross lost their credibility. They may do a lot of good, but I no longer trust them.
Food, water, and medicine are most important right now. Donate to a food drive in your community. Donate to an organization that will give food and water to the people who need it.
We're all doooooooomed!!!1!
What's your source for this? In the last 15 years alone we've interviened miliatrily to install democracy in western europe, Iraq, Afghanistan, Hati, Bosnia, Kosovo, Somolia. I don't recall us installing any dictatorships during that time. While we did make some mistakes during the cold war most of those "dictatorsihps" wern't governments we installed, we simply supported them because there was no viable alternative. Examples where we directly interviened to install a dictatorship are limited to a few latin american countries, Iran, and South Vietnam (though we initially interviened to protect a democratic government there).
So when a terrorist blows up a crowded building in Iraq with an RPG, is it war or murder?

On a single day in the American Civil War, approximately 30,000 men were killed.
Yeah, but they were all Americans being killed by Americans, so it really doesn't matter.
9/11 was murder, not war.
And what about the dead Iraqi civilians? That would all be murder too, right?
I do not believe that mathematics and logic that humans created can be trustworthy enough to prove or disprove the existence of God. There are too many things that we are likely to not understand yet.
Go back several hundred years and ask Isaac Newton to prove the existence of atoms. Newton was a very smart guy, but he just didn't know enough at that time to prove nor to disprove them.
Go back to the 1870s, and ask John Roebling to prove that the design of the Brooklyn Bridge would be sound. He actually KNEW that there were mathematical properties that he did not understand, so he designed the bridge to be stronger than he thought it needed to be, based on the math he did know. His bridge still stands today, while most, if not all, other suspension bridges from that era have fallen.
We can only produce guaranteed proofs for things that we fully understand, and I don't think that anyone on the planet can rightly claim to fully understand God.
