This discussion leads me to believe that Slashdot has been completely compromised by people who have an interest in controlling what others think. Clever job fellas. It's all about Moore's personality and bickering between the left and right. Pathetic.
The Slashdot of the past would never have entertained an idea like this. The solution would be to better engineer the software, not control the rest of the world.
The cable guy came by and disconnected the free cable we were receiving in our apartment. Did I want to pay for it? Hell no. I'm disgusted by cable and the whole MTV culture of death type of thing. I installed a TV Antenna, pointed it towards Jacksonville Florida and get the major networks, PBS, Fox, WB and a few independents. It's all I need. $100 installed. Amortize that over 12 months: about $8 per month.
The only thing I miss is Bravo, a couple movie channels (AMC and TCM) and an occasional C-Span interview.
It's sad to see all the hand wringing. The Slashdot of old was full of solutions relating to Linux. Too many know-nothing Windows users on this board. The smart people, from whom I learned and am still learning, are leaving.
This is a pathetic story

This is a really pathetic story. Really Slashdot. How low can you go?
Uh, anybody got any old "Hey Dude" episodes online? Huh, huh, huh?
Here's the gameplan: control Earth from space. How to do it: pretend to protect against asteroids while developing an offensive strike capability. Explore near earth asteroids. Capture one. Guide it around the sun. Hurl it back to earth and drop it on your enemy. Instant population control.
Because the use of Echelon in this country is clandestine and illegal according to the Fourth Amendment. The Patriot Act is the attempted rollout of the legal use of Echelon. If U.S. citizens accept the Patriot Act it makes things like Echelon more useable. Sure they can use Echelon now, but they cannot use the results in a U.S. court as a basis for prosecution. The Patriot Act would change that. We're sort of between the right to privacy and the state in which the Patriot Act would invoke.
The Patriot Act is a horrible thing and we should reject it. It continues the trend of concentrating power into fewer hands.
I expect one of them -- or perhaps a group of them -- will go too far at some point and do significant damage to the open-source movement...
This is horseshit. The above is how an author sets up the reader for the next event to happen. My teachers called it premonition. It's a hint to the reader. It's how a psyops "history" is created, like how the bombing in Oklahoma City was eventually blamed on right wing Christians because of some supposed motive. I would suspect somebody is trying to set up Linux for a (false flag) fall. Either that or the author has the the Chicken Little "Sky is Falling" gene embedded in his ass.

Who the fuck even cares about this guy's hobby? Slashdot is becoming another NBC Dateline babysitting service. Pathetic!
engineered U.N. power grab?
If the FBI should do anything it is to force Microsoft to make their software truly secure. I mean if the door is open, close and lock it.

They boosted the colors so much that the girl in that photo is PURPLE!
Teach HTML first, then CSS and then PHP because it's in the order of increasing complexity.
The Patriot Act is the public rollout of the NSA's Echelon system.
There are still some real gems out there I bet most of you have never heard of:
The Keith Jarrett Trio
The Brad Mehldau Trio
The Florian Ross Trio
Heh, three for three.
These guys are brilliant if not geniuses.

that the NSA can scan your email. Other may not.
Is this a Kerry ad?

I'm much happier overall.

I bet MS is so far in bed with the military that you could call him "Col. Gates of the CIA."
Box art? Slashdot used to talk about bytes and bits and all the cool nerdy geek stuff. But box art?
What you are describing, in a word, is called incrementalism.
Why?
This is the In Search of Supidity thread. Right?

This is the standard reason given for powerful computers. Isn't it a cliche by now? How about giving some other reasons for supercomputers?
I can almost guarantee this is decades old technology in the world of espionage.
