Slashdot's Disagree Mail

This installment of Disagree Mail highlights a man's concern about illegal cloning in the Hollywood community, a guy who is sick of US imperialism and his low karma, and an example of the kind of people you don't want as roommates in college. Read below to find out just how crazy, angry and irresponsible it gets.

I remember watching Scarlett Johansson's opening scene in "Lost in Translation" and thinking that the whole movies should be about laying around in t-shirts and panties. I had no idea that Scarlett's beauty was enough to drive someone insane.

"Hello dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress) actually is a clone from original person Scarlett Galabekian last name, who has nothing with acting career. That clone was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy),most important - CHRISTIAN young lady! I'll tell you more,those clones (it's not only one) made in GERMANY - world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff strictly controlling all their clones (at least they trying) spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Original person is not happy with those movies, images, video, rumors and etc. spreading on media in that way it would be really nice if we all will try slow down that ''actress'' career development, original Scarlett will really appreciated that. Please remember that original Scarlett's family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created in it was stolen and it is stolen. It all need to be delivered to authorized personals control in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Original Scarlett never was engaged, by the way! Her close friend Serge G. P.S. CONTROLLING ACTIVITY OF ANY CLONES IS US MILITARY OPERATION. H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more. These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and Germany, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science."

I enjoy it when people include real world problems with their rants, like somehow connecting our karma system with geopolitical politics makes their mail more than just a tantrum.

A simple reply: "Go sell crazy someplace else. We're full up here." Ages ago, while selling computers at $BIGCOMPSTORE, I had a guy come in who was convinced that the people at Netscape were spying on him (this was back about '99). He insisted that he needed a new computer, and wanted a Mac because they don't have the same "intrusion issues Windows computers have." He buys one... Has us remove the modem and network port. Goes home. Three days later, he's back in and "this computer is infected too!" He was insistent that the fiends at Netscape had used a satellite to beam in programs to spy on him via IrDA. We politely took the computer back, then refused to sell him another, as this was the 5th one in a month he'd bought then returned, and the manager suggested he seek medical attention. The world is just chock full of crazy. Of course, that just means they fit in at /.

I've spent some time in retail, too. I found the best way to deal with psychos was in the service department instead of by selling them stuff. Labor need not be refundable. I mean, it's not like we ever told them they work they wanted us to do to keep XYZ from spying on them was recommended. We always told them that it was wildly unlikely that the spying was a real issue. However, if they wanted us to do something specifc, we made sure they understood labor was not refundable and went ahead.

[jonadab]

> Ages ago, while selling

Oh, they probably were. Netscape had a big domestic spying program back then, on account of the deal they had with the NSA. That's also why they had two different versions of their software, one for US customers and one for export. The one for US customers was designed to spy on you, but then they had to figure out a way to get the public to buy it, so they said it was more secure because it encrypted traffic. But that was just a marketing gimmick. In actuality, both versions had the same level of actual encryption.

> He insisted that he

Obviously he didn't really understand how the spying program worked, because a new computer wouldn't have helped at all. As long as you're still living in the same place, the NSA still knows who you are. What you really have to do is move every month or so.

> wanted a Mac because
> they don't have the
> same "intrusion issues
> Windows computers

Not only did this loon not understand how the spying program worked, he also bought into the computer industry's nonsense hook, line, and sinker. Macs and Windows computers had pretty much the same intrusion issues because they really used almost exactly the same software for their networking stuff. They rebranded it (Trumpet something on the Windows side, I forget what the Mac port was called), but it was basically just the BSD networking stack, only without the security features because they had to cut down on that stuff to improve the performance so it could run on 16-bit operating systems. (This was in the days of Mac System 7 and Windows 3.1.)

> He buys one... Has us

Yeah, see, that wouldn't help at all. Might as well wear a tinfoil hat for all the good it will do.

> Three days later, he's
> back in and "this
> computer is infected
> too!"

Technically, "infected" is the wrong terminology, but the real issue he was running into is that the computer wasn't really the problem at all. He was probably still living in the same house!

> He was insistent that
> the fiends at Netscape

Now, that's just silly. Netscape didn't even have an IrDA-equipped satellite.

> We politely took the

So, switching computers didn't work, but all he could think to do is try it again? Dumb.

That wouldn't have helped either. Most of the doctors in this country were under NSA control. Still are, actually, that's why they order so many tests.

HTH.HAND. (And yes, I'm being facetious.)

Tricky to say. One thing I've noticed about the past few of these is that these are all taken from before they started doing Disagree Mail.

First email reminds me of an old friend

[Gizzmonic]

An old friend of mine used to work at a newspaper, and he would receive a bunch of email from a crazy woman who was convinced she could influence George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin through her TV. She also wrote about how local leaders were all part of a conspiracy.

In addition to being crazy, she was also rock stupid. Putin took a trip to Georgia (long before the war of this year) and she was wondering what he was doing down South.

Those were pretty good laughs. She also expected him to get her letters about local conspiracies published, which would have been tough to do seeing as he was the web programmer, not the editor in chief.

Re:Full stop?

[jonadab]

Actually, this saying has an interesting etymology. At one point in history, telegrams didn't have punctuation, so if you wanted to break up sentences you had to state the punctuation using the word. (This worked out pretty well for the company, since they charged you by the word.) In America of course we would have said "period", but in Merry Old England they call the period a "full stop". Usually in telegrams they just said "stop" and that was clear enough, but "full stop" is a more emphatic version of essentially the same thing.

Re:I'll be the judge of what I can't imagine

[Cor-cor]

I don't know, I thought that sentence was rather straightforward and possibly even accurate.

Were there a global cloning conspiracy, I doubt they would allow photography of their weighing apparatus.

I also suspect Scarlett Johansson would do her best to prevent pictures of any scale she used, if she's at all similar to other women I know.

Even if you could get access to image her scale, I think there'd be a few photos you would judge more worthwhile.

I can't wait until we can start posting pictures of cats saying funny things and links to 1man1cup

My eyes!

[Farlan]

This whole /. disagree mail segment seems to have outlived its hype. On a side note, the text on that background really hurt my eyes after reading... Anyone volunteer to write a /. an email about it? It would probably be featured here on the next one.

Are caturday updates next?

[LiquidDeath]

/. idle is the new 4chan ?? Does the world need another 4chan? Idle articles are pure crap, keep idle off the main page.

Oh Come on you nancys...

[ethicalBob]

Reading Serges rants is 10 times more interesting than the majority of the hubris-filled replies of most of our /. brethren.

Flickfilosopher comment thread on this is great.. it seems that Serge gets around, and has a lot of time on his hands...

this is a new low for slashdot

[Anonymous Coward]

and i didn't realize that was possible.
thank you for the enlightenment.

Bad Karma

[AlpineR]

If Samzenpus runs out of hilarious emails then he can turn to the vast supply of Score:-1 comments to keep this fascinating series going forever.

Mean!

[desinc]

Damn, you guys are ruthless about bashing the admins.

This is slashdot, not the comment section for youtube.

Still, I keep reading disagree mail hoping that they'll get better... they haven't yet. (Except for shampoo, shampoo is hilarious - albeit I wouldn't categorize his writing as 'disagree mail').

Not old fashioned, just old

[AlpineR]

That's ironic. When I joined in 1999 Slashdot seemed pretty revolutionary: crowdsourced news, updates several times a day, moderation, metamoderation, exposure to radical ideas like open source software.

Re:Not old fashioned, just old

[Random BedHead Ed]

Not in my day! Back in the old days, Slashdot was the same reliable thing all the time. Now get off my lawn you ... er ... five-digit userID whippersnapper! :)

Instead of complaining about Idle...

[BaronHethorSamedi]

Set your preferences to filter it.

If enough people do that, maybe it will go away.

Re:Instead of complaining about Idle...

[HeronBlademaster]

That would only work if the admins bother to check how many people have the section filtered.

I should have listened...

[internerdj]

The top of the page said: "Idle.slashdot.org is a total waste of your time. Never go there."

Idle solution

[Anonymous Coward]

Step one:

AdBlock Plus: Block http://idle.slashdot.org/*

Step two:

Hosts file:
127.0.0.1 idle.slashdot.org

Step three: there is no step three

Re:Idle solution

[OolimPhon]

Idiot.

3. Profit!

Re:Idle solution

[Anonymous Coward]

Close, I guess. I was going for a different joke.

Schizophrenia

[FreekyGeek]

The reason the nutty ones aren't funny to me is because I know exactly where they come from: Schizophrenics. And I don't mean the pop-psychology conception of schizophrenia as somehow being equivalent to "multiple personalities", I mean people with the actual disorder of schizophrenia, as in "A Beautiful Mind", not "Sybil". Paranoia and conspiracy theories are very common in schizophrenics, as are long rambling writings that are grammatically correct but nearly incomprehensible. If you want to see all kinds of the stuff, try working in a congressional office. They get deluged with the stuff.

It's funny the first few times, but gets old very fast when you start to see how sick these poor people really are. They literally can't help themselves, their brains send them bad information.

Re:Schizophrenia

[MobyDisk]

That's a good theory. But I propose an alternative: The first post looks like it was created by a Markov Generator. Like somebody was playing with a freely downloadable one, and pasted in some random newspaper page that had stuff about an actress and stuff about cloning.

Re:Schizophrenia

[drinkypoo]

Honestly, I think schizophrenia is not really one of those either-or things, I think most everyone is a little bit schizophrenic, the degree to which we tend to dis-integrate our personal and work lives for example, it's just not healthy/normal. We cease to be ourselves in such situations...

Obli. Family Guy Quote

[jaguth]

Peter: You ever watch that show Scrubs? Lois had it on the other night, and I was kinda fading in and out, you know. I was watching and wondering..... which one is the funny guy?

Re:Obli. Family Guy Quote

[Anonymous Coward]

That would work if directed at Family Guy too. That show is nothing but a poor man's Simpsons. There is no comic timing and with the exception of a handful of Stewie's jokes (eg "You're supposed to say 'over.' Over." sequence) all of them are highly predictable and highly unfunny.

I'm not the kind of person to sift through a mountain of shit looking for that one good bit of corn to eat.

Forget alarm clocks, scheduled printing is where

[piltdownman84]

I remember when I was in residence. The best prank was to schedule really odd print jobs in the middle of the night. Extra funny when it was on people that had no clue how to check if another half dozen messages were going to come out all night

Almost as good as changing their hosts file so hotmail, the school website, and all major news sites went to porn sites. Although I do feel bad in hindsight for that girl that got labeled as a lesbian because of that.

I want to change my nickname now...

[jason.sweet]

But I can't decide if it should be brad_pitt_the_nice_but_not_damn_sexy_non_clone or wet_frilly_knickers_outlook.

Oh Dear. I see you're *still* having trouble putting 'text' on a 'web-site'. I know it's hard. Really hard. Let's go shopping!

I've seen that Scarlette/Cloning rant somewhere before...

among the numerous other places. Thanks for posting your spam.

Re:I Googled Scarlett Galabekian

[thered2001]

As any worthwhile conspiracy theory should be! The only problem here is this one isn't good.

Re:I Googled Scarlett Galabekian

[Vexorian]

wow, the dream of every mail spammer, getting your spam featured in slashdot!

Low Karma??? who knows?

[DiegoBravo]

I'm pretty sure the /. team never reads this "idle" thing, but whatever....

>>a guy who is sick of US imperialism and his low karma

Please, how that guy could be angry because of low karma??? if Karma has gone forever, replaced by those silly words "good, excelent" that can't express the pride narcicism of an old big exponential number!!! I'd suggest the ./ team to return the numeric karma scale as a totally unrelated "just show" number, in order to encourage pendantic geeks, and wannabe writers, while maintaining their silly "three-adjetive-scale" for the mod system or whatever they consider important.

Oh I can see it now...

American Dad rip-off

[kaltkalt]

There was a whole episode of American Dad ("Tearjerker") where Roger, playing a James Bond villian, was cloning hollywood actors/actresses, albeit with robots, to make the clones act in horrible movies nobody would want to see, so his movie would win the Oscar.

Crazy religious people should not be allowed to watch TV.

Bodysnatchers

[puster2]

Beware of the Bodysnatchers as they are trying to invade the US.

While I am aware that my hometown is known for our former Chancellor I was not aware that we are also known for our apparently booming Cloning-Industry.

I guess you never stop learning.
