many of the users complain not for privacy reasons, but for the fact that these bots/join/part every ten minutes. We at afternet (http://www.afternet.org) actually got the people to remove the bots, but soon thereafter they came back. We're talking with the CEO of the corporation, and others, and trying to do what we can to get these annoyances off of our network.
apparently the plan from chatscan is to make a global directory of channels, which will be available for any users to search through. In theory, the idea is great, but in practice, they've botched everything up. these bots are an annoyance, and users ban them from their channels.
We have also found a secret IRC network that they were planning to debut or something, we found it rather interesting, because there were bots in many many channels just spewing out random conversation, probably from the spybots themselves.
if anyone wants any information on these bots, or any logs of the discussion with the chatscan people, you can mail me at hurt@etheria.cx
dude, most sciences are based on human speculation and experimentation. psychaitry/psychology is no different. Secondly, most diagnoses of mental illnesses have nothing to do with brain activity. actions of the patient/client and things like that are used. you're most certainly talking about things you don't know about, and you sound like a fool.
nothing like a good ol' flame to start the weekend.
On behalf of the IAoNaTP (International Association of Ninjas and Their Pancakes) I hereby order you, AC, to Ceast and Desist on the subject of Ninjas and Pancakes. Failure to do so will result in an atomic wedgie, and a swirlie. As a Ninja myself, I can say we know where you are....You're sitting very close to a computer right now, for instance.
umm, are you stupid? this wasn't two different people posting the same story, this was the same person accidentally submitting the thing.....get a clue, man.
You are a disgrace to every thinking person in the known world.
I never said the human or the earth were a closed system. What i meant by that was, that there has to be enough positive from evolution to cancel out the negative entropy that evolution has caused. I don't see this as happening. And if you'll read my reply to my own post, I rethought what I said.
I rethought what i said, and it seems, i have come to another conclusion. Although the probability of this is incredibly low, all that means is that (according to quantum mechanics) for every 1 that actually occurs this way (and it would be bound to occur this way, because of quantum mechanics) that there would be 10^400000000000000000000000000000000(just for saying, probably much, much more.) that this didn't occur, or some other thing occurred (half-way through evolution, etc.) This article is stupid in that it says that the molecules went into multiuniversal space, and "chose" this mutation. Instead, it is that this universe that we exist in has followed the path of these specific mutations.
I was only half-formed in my argument before, and I apologize.
Evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy has increased in this situation, and with humanity, such a great amount of Complexity (thousands of chemical processes, all dependant on each other...) theoretically, shouldn't occur.
I agree though, this article sounds really stupid. It has NO real footing in any sort of provable science, and sounds like it belongs more in the philosophy realm than this one.
As a psych student, there's actually seven. the seventh is (i can't remember the name) having to do knowing how your muscles are positioned in relative to the rest of your body.
(I'll forgo the rant about people not only misconcieving 5 senses, or 6 senses, when there's actually 7.)

Too Late. This's already happened. I'm one of them.
The real concern that I raise from this is one of health. If we use these things, and slowly train our mind not to react from motion the same way, we're putting ourselves in danger from things. We rely on our instincts and such to help us physically react properly in bad situations, and it seems that reaction would be dulled using this.
True men lead revolutions, men with courage, men with honor, not an AC. Noone will ever listen, for you are afraid, and as such, noone wants to be on your side.
I propose, if A true boycott be called, it should be discussed by everyone interested, not by one man.
All who are interested, join me at http://www.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=boycott.
To all who aren't interested, and therefore I am wasting their time: I apologize, please just move on.

What slashdot is has EVERYTHING to do with the underlying software. This whole karma/moderation system piqes people to "contend" for karma...it makes it easier to view, so you don't have to see so much noise.
If the software underlying/. wasn't so important, there would be more forums to which people who don't like what slashdot has become could go to...mostly all forums are wait three hours until your post actually gets up, or a place filled with junk.
How many sites with the exact noise filtering capabiltity as slashdot have you seen? 0. It's the moderation system...it's pretty smart within itself, and that's why it will not be released. Slashdot and andover want to have the market for this type forum in a ball grip, and as of now, it does....it's sad, too. If i were more of an advanced coder, i'd write the damn software myself.
Screw you, moderators...there are people who will hear me, no matter how low you put me. Karma here is nothing but a game, and i don't care anymore.
the world doesn't revolve around you and linux. People think differently than you. People will be eagerly anticipating the release of win2k...Just because you're not, or i'm not, doesn't mean that noone is.
I think instead of doing it later, though, the linux community should do it BEFORE the microsoft events...If someone just went out and spent a butt-load of money on this new operating system, they're probably gonna keep using it, even when informed about linux and its strengths and weaknesses.
Noone who's not "in the know" (for lack of a better term) isn't gonna care about these crazy software developers who're over there trying to push their "free OS".
If we really want to get linux out there, we've really got to get our heads out of our asses and remember that everyone isn't like the people on/.
the same days as micrsoft ones? Let's be realistic: People are going to be more gung-ho about win2k rather than linux, this OS that we've heard very little about and been in the underground. If people really want to get linux out there, perhaps they shouldn't always do the big demonstrations on days where most people will be dealing with microsoft.
Don't make me have to get my level 13 mage to cast a fireball at you....I'll do it, too.

>>X-rays come from hot gas, usually heated to millions of degrees by falling into a black hole or scattered into space by a stellar explosion. They do not penetrate the Earth's atmosphere so satellites must be used to detect them.
Even light gets sucked in by black holes, yet X-rays can get out? Does anyone know anything about this? I'm somewhat skeptical, but since i know nothing about the subject, any knowlege would be appreciated.
I'll bet someone a new vacation on my new getaway location (description below) that noone will take up the offer to go on this "vacation"
Description of my vacation system:
I've built a really large slingshot in my backyard.
I've also built a really large tower in my backyard with noway up.
We here at "Fling vacations" willfling you up onto the tower, for the peace and quiet that you've always wanted....there's no luxuries, like television, or running water, or even a roof, but it'll be a good vacation..and only for 49.95 for three months...
We are hard at work, and our next innovation will be a way to get you down after your time is up...
Finally, an intelligent statement....at leasst there's gonna be one thread on ehere that's not just "this sucks, DVD people suck"
Unfortunately, the arisen question is a rather difficult one....The only real way to change the way that things are would be the massively educate the public on the reasoning behind unencrypting DVD tech, and how illogical it is to actually rip DVDs to give to other people...Of course, this is easier said than done.
