Crack a book dude. To extort somebody you have to demand something using threats or intimidation. Telling a lie is not an element. Which is beside the point, since an obvious lampoon is not a lie.

If Amir kills himself, the guy who posted the photos might feel bad about it. But face trial? What law has he broken?
That has to be the most pathetic eBay profile I've every seen: three negatives and a rave from an obvious sock puppet. I mean, jeez, if you're going to be a dishonest eBay seller, you can at least try to fool people!
Jeez dude, don't ever resort to a live of crime. You'd return the kidnapping victim, then demand a ransom.
Everybody on the planet has already seen Amir's embarassing photos. If the dude wanted to extort money, he'd demand a payoff before he posted the photos.
he designner obviously didn't do this check, or else he would have noticed that the containing the left-hand sidebar gets displayed first, making the user do a lot of scrolling to get to the actually content.
Correction: the designer did see this issue. There's a link that scrolls past the sidebars that's only visible when you use the PDA styles or no styles at all.
The question isn't "Can it run my games", but "Is there a value to installing Vista that will make my games run better"?
That assumes that people will mostly get Vista by upgrading from XP. More typically, they'll get it pre-installed on new machines. If Vista breaks a lot of games, that's a problem for gamers who want to buy new hardware.
If by "useless crap" you mean overhead due to eye-candy graphics, you're wrong. I just tried looking at the new design with CSS disabled. (This is a feature of Firefox's Web Developer Extension, which no serious HTML author should be without.) I basically saw everything I saw with CSS enabled, but without the fancy formatting. Really, the people who get saved from "crap" are the people with CSS support, since they get the eye-candy without the overhead of graphic file download.
The designner obviously didn't do this check, or else he would have noticed that the <div> containing the left-hand sidebar gets displayed first, making the user do a lot of scrolling to get to the actually content.
A well-designed CSS-based page degrades gracefully when CSS isn't supported. Also, a page that doesn't work in a text browser probably doesn't meet accessibility guidelines.
If the new CSS support is any good, Slashdot should work better in text-based browsers. The whole point of using CSS is to separate content from presentation. That makes it possible to take the same page and display it sanely on a GUI browser, a text browser, a PDA...
The purpose of CSS is not to make pages pretty. It's to make pages portable.

Sure, you have a constitutional right to be a twit. Don't let me stop you!
If you don't see a new sexual fetish at least once a month, you must not browse the web very much.

Obviously a lot of people find this story interesting and amusing, even if you don't. Deal with it.
Oh, forgive me! I have not totally memorized every feature of Firefox! I am beneath contempt!
Jon Johansen is the anti-CSS overlord!

Yeah, GUIs are so overrated. Obviously a passing fad. I expect we'll go back to doing everything on the command line any day now.
So what's your point?

Please note the "If" at the beginning of my post.

Dude, we all make mistakes. What separates out the true grownups is our ability to admit to them and learn from them.

Give us a break. Admit that you were too quick off the mark and move on.
Maybe. Do you know where I can find US$100 Million in bearer bonds?
