Even though this part of the post is not meant to be relevant, since the point of the joke is that they aren't saying anything, here's a filter-pleaser. Maybe if I write out a little bit more JESUS how much more do you need I am cutting out punctuation but I really fucking want to post a few exclamation marks Oh for fucks sake How much more do I have to type before this fucking post is long enough I dont even think its funny anymore myself Thankyou slashdot you have ruined my own joke for me you bastards CHRIST almighty what is their definition of a junk character I think Ive just written 40000 junk characters to get my original characters in the post Does anyone use Slashcode for ascii art collections? That would be a fucking joke I am starting to cool down but my fingers are getting a little tired I wonder if a new stories been posted since I tried to get this post accepted SHITFUCK I bet I'll finally get this post through on IPVFucking10 Mmmm Maybe I should change a few of the junk characters and I'll be able to post. I just thought that it was rated on the amount of normal text that is in the post. If I was really smart, I'd RTFS, or maybe just post a lot of cut and paste...
Unacceptable Swear-words
Currently the following words are starred out whenever they appear on a DNA site. (There are very rare circumstances in which some of these words may be used if editorially justified; if the word appears in an extract of a quoted poem, for example).
Please note that all derivatives of the following words are also currently included on the banned word list:
* bxxxxxk - testicle
* cxxt - vagina
* fxxk - have sex
* jxxm - ejaculated semen (also spelt as jxsm or jxzm)
* txxt - another vagina, not twit
* wxxk - masturbate, not work
Words with Dual Meanings
There are a number of words which have both acceptable and unacceptable meanings.
* bxxxxxd - illegitimate person, bar steward (forbidden in the context of an insult, allowed as a term for an illegitimate person).
* pxxs - urinate (Banned in the context of urination and insult, but allowed as a slang term for being angry or drunk)
* pxxxk - a penis, a pricking feeling (not to be used as a substitute for penis, allowable in the context of pins and suchlike).
Minority Groups
Some words are banned not because they are 'profane' or swearing, but because they may offend members of any minority, religious or ethnic group. The list below is not definitive; any posting or article using a slang word that may be seen to be offensive to any group of people will be failed:
* cxxn - black person, possibly from raccoon. But you are allowed to use 'coon as a slang term for raccoons.
* nxxxxr - another black person, 'catch a nxxxxr by the toe'
* sxxxxxc - a term that used to be used to describe a person with cerebral palsy.
* yxd - short for 'yiddish'
80% of the posts bean modded up are marked Funny. The only reason we are not going spastic about waiting for the final chapters of certain geeky movies is that they have release dates. Can somewun from iether party please tell us when the result is going to be released so we can RELAX A LITTLE BIT?
Thnx.

Putting the email address (unscrambled) on the web page is a sure way to start receiving spam. I'd set up a new address, save the old emails, and put the new address on the site like: ba by atsign webs ite dot com, or something like that with a note underneath telling people to work it out and that it is like that to stop spam robots from harvesting your email address. You might also want to look into putting a "ROBOTS.TXT" file on the website. Google "robots.txt" for more information on how to do that. Cheers.
IANAGPSE, but Differential GPS is something that allows the resolution of millimetres by subtracting the errors of a reading from one location with the errors of a reading in another two or more locations to increase the accuracy of measurement. Near Adelaide, Australia, they have been doing this to measure the rate that the local mountain range is moving towards the city (i.e. not very quickly, but measurable using this technique.)
When I was a kid, I crawled over tips looking for stuff to smash, blow up and set fire to. I'd break shit for fun, and be home in time for dinner, by riding my bike at break-neck speed without a helmet on, carrying a bunch of shit I hadn't smashed yet in both arms to do it all again in the backyard after dinner.
When the datamining gets good enough, the postal address of the person registered as Cypherpunks will start receiving junk mail for Alzheimer's medication.
I used a similar "Crude but effective" technique at work. I had a job where most days were bad, but some were good. So I told my boss to go fuck himself and now I don't have any bad days any more. Of course, my false positives (the good days) are also gone.

I don't think you should be basing your tests on timing Hello World with a stopwatch.
it seems a storm has knocked out the satellite feed
I know Cumulo-Nimbus storm clouds can go very high into the sky, but taking out a friggin satellite? Sheesh, it must have been pretty low-orbit.

Why on earth was this modded to 0 without a reply that debunked it?

Impressiv meta-troll. You take out the idiots (and the other weak-minded people with mod-points to burn) while making sum good points.
My hat goes off
But wasn't RMS concerned that non-free code in the kernel could spell the end of linux?
I believe the expression you were looking for was:
Uproar in the slashbot community because Steve Jobs shat in his own pants.
B1 and B2. That should sink your Bananas in Pyjamas.
There is an old book called Garage Virtual Reality that came with a CD (or floppy disks?) that covered connecting the power glove to VR software.
Do you know if it is actually respected? I wouldn't imagine spam email address harvesters respecting an unenforced point of etiquette.
Putting the email address (unscrambled) on the web page is a sure way to start receiving spam. I'd set up a new address, save the old emails, and put the new address on the site like:

I grew up into a spineless computer programmer.
Your point was?
Did it broke?

If you were a teacher in a hacking school, would you fail any of your students or kick them out of school? Make them disappear, maybe...
What the parent extremely funny was had geposten is.
Can you make your old games play at a good speed in XP and not make the sound choppy? Let me know if you can.
That would explain why americans "pound brews". If we "kilogrammed piss" though, we'd be gay. So we "sink" it instead. At least downunder.
