Slashdot Mirror


Slashdot's Disagree Mail

Since we covered people who wanted out of Slashdot last week, I thought we'd look at some people who wanted back in. These users found that living without Slashdot was a lot harder than they thought. Maybe you've just been married and are finding out your wife is less interesting than Slashdot or maybe you were bad and want to make amends. These people found out it's hard to make it without your favorite website. Keep reading to find out what they'll do to get back.

I realize that sometimes it's hard to figure out when you've crossed the line. It just seemed so obvious in this case that I wasn't sure what to write back. The other thing to remember here is that this guys name was a synonym for excrement, joined with a sex act.

Don't get me wrong I like Slashdot but if you are a newlywed and you want to spend more time here than with your new wife, you married poorly. Maybe if you did some more "working" on your wife, you'd find something much better to do in the dark than read Slashdot.

"I know you're busy but was wondering if you can help me out. I really like reading Slashdot but my new wife hates how much I check it during the day. She says that I should check on her as much but we both know that she doesn't update as much :-). LOL but really she doesn't. I thought I could teach her how cool gadgets and geeks are but she doesn't believe me and won't even try. I'm sitting in the dark down here right now so she won't see me. I've rambled enough what I want to ask of you is that maybe you could post more girl kinda stories. She likes horses and has had them since she was a little girl maybe something about horses. If you can't I understand but would really reallly appreciate it. If you can even mail me some stories you find that she might like just mail me the URL and maybe together we can convert her. I really want to read more and talk to her less. If you could work on her for me I'll be the most loyal reader ever."

This is one of my favorite mails of all time. Getting propositioned to bend the rules at work is the type of thing that is usually reserved for politicians or people working concert security. This lady proved that Valentine's Day can be lonely and there is nothing someone would not do to post to Slashdot.

    What does Slashdot being free have to do with moderation? Same thing goes for free forums; if the topic is set on hardware, you discuss hardware and not sodomized goats. You're free to express whatever view you have, but since certain rules apply to the commentary system, you must also respect it. Furthermore, they don't forbid you to post unrelated comments. But they do have authority to delete it if you're not playing by the rules.

      A lot of people seem to think that free speech extends to non-public places. A public forum like Slashdot is still owned by someone (in this case, OSTG) and that someone has the right to refuse entry.

    That first guy exemplifies a very common misconception about free speech, that because you have the right to say what you want (true), you have the right to force other people to provide you a forum for that speech, publish that speech, etc. (false). The principle of free speech says you should have as much right as CmdrTaco to create a Web site to talk about whatever it is you want to talk about, not that you should be able to hijack someone else's.

    If McCain had showed up at the DNC and told them they had to give him the floor for an hour to tell everyone why Obama is a lousy candidate, the convention organizers would rightfully tell him, "Your convention is next week, talk about whatever you want there but at this one we have a liberal, pro-Obama message". It's also why spam blocking is not a free speech issue like the spammers try to paint it as. You have the right to say whatever you want about your product, but not the right to force me to receive or read your messages.

    It's really just a case of your right to swing your fist ending where the other guy's face begins.

    Found via google:

    In 2002, Fyodor was the victim of an impersonation attack by a Slashdot user who was posing as a woman. Fyodor sent an email to the fake "woman" in an attempt to solicit further conversation and a possible meeting. When the hoax was revealed, the hoaxer insulted fyodor (I believe the word was "wanker").

    Fyodor responded by using information disclosure vulnerabilities in yahoo email to find the originating IP address of the Slashdot prankster (SumDeusExMachine) who was at the time a college student based on the Pacific coast. SDEM was using an open X server for windows, MI/X, with no security enabled. Fyodor quickly scanned SDEM's box, found the open X server, and attached to it, monitoring SDEM's life for nine hours. He took many screen shots of SDEM's machine and posted them to his web site, insecure.org.

    A lot of personal information was revealed in these screenshots, including the existence and ip address of a "secret troll irc server", which was running an irc bot capable of tracking and posting new stories. Jamie McCarthy used the information disclosed by Fyodor's attack to log onto this server, discover the new-story-bot, and modify Slashdot to break the troll's new-story-robot.
