  1. umm on NetBSD on PS2 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The playstation2 can not read CD-Rs

    Yes it can. Maybe it can't boot CD-Rs (I dunno I haven't tried) but I have a mod-chipped Japanese and American model and each will read a CD-R ok. It might need a mod-chip, I dont know if a stock one will read them though.

    The Japanese one needs a blue utility disc to play Cd-Rs along with a modchip. Maybe using those would bypass the need for the Sony disc, since it ejects the utlity disc to swap a Cd-R in, then it could boot a kernel off the swapped disc?

    (man this post makes no sense)

    (I know I will not gain any points of friends by saying this, but I must speak my mind.)

    I remember when Slashdot was a libertarian forum, not full of right-wing conservative nuts. I know the good old days of Slashdot when articles like this were full of favoritive arugments. Now it is filled with the exact opposite of what it was created for - zero tolerance.

    I know I will see comments criticizing the investigation Corporate oppression! I ask, why? Why dare you oppose this wonderful action? Corporate oppression can create a new age of tolerance, equality, and most important safety for both you and your family - but only if it can be declared safe for you and I by the government.

    While yes, I am opposed to most government involvement, I am for this. I know legislative meddling was long the reason for much strife in John Galt's fictional life, and that bills such as the DMCA are inherantly evil...I am not debating that. Rather I fail to see how investiagting corporate oppression can be lumped anywhere near these!

    Let me paint a fictional scenario - A network of computer systems, all linked together worldwide. Imagine the possibilities! Messaging capabilities, worldwide data archival, entertainment, and a propogation of fresh, civil, and tolerant ideas are all possible. Naturally systems of commerce and regulation could very easily spring forth from this "global network." Would not a small bit of govermental regulation not be necessary to keep order in the ensuing digital chaos? Yes!

    What's that you say? This network exists? Then where is the goverment's hand in it!

    Self-regulation is not the answer. Look at the recent DDoS attacks, hackers, pirates forcing intellectual property violations on unknowing sysadmins (ie Napster, FTP), and other malicious activity. Investigating Corporate oppression could not only provide the avenues to stop these, but to also prevent them.

    I know this will be hard for you to accept. I know, and I feel your pain. But this will work out for the best. In 5 years you will thank me, but most importantly you will be thanking the government for investigating corporate oppression.

    And thank you for your time.

    THE JENNY JONES SHOW
    "I have a perverse sexual fetish"

    Jenny: Hi, and welcome to today's show - "I have a perverse sexual fetish." Let me warn you, today's topic is on the distrubing side. We will meet three men who at first glance appear to be normal, sane, and well-educated but thier deviant addiction to the popular Internet website Slashdot.org and individual sexual perversions set them apart from you and I.

    Audience: EWWWWW!

    Jenny: Let us meet our first guest, Harry Knowles.

    (Harry Knowles, webmaster of the popular movie rumor site Aint It Cool News, is escorted from the backstage area in a wheelchair.)

    Jenny: Hello Harry. I must say, I have visited your site many times and am honored to finally speak with you. So tell us, what is your sexual perversion?

    Harry: Well Jenny...I have never admitted this before...but...I'm sorry.

    (Harry is obviously distraught.)

    Jenny: Don't be. Does it have anything to do with your paralysis?

    Harry: Yes. I once enjoyed a normal sex-life, but that changed after the accident which left me paralyised from the waist down and left me unable to orgasm.

    Jenny: That's understandable

    Harry: It gets worse. After hours of masturbation and ingesting dangerous amounts of amyl-nitrate, I realized only one thing gives me any semblance of carnal pleasure....

    (Harry pauses.)

    Harry (head in hands): I like to pour hot grits down my pants.

    Audience: EWWWWW!

    Jenny: Hot grits...as in the breakfast food..??

    Harry (in tears): Yes. Hot grits as in warm ground corn. I like to pour them down my pants. It feels so warm, so tender...don't hate me, is it wrong for a man to do the only thing that pleasures him?

    Jenny: No, no it is not. It is obvious this strains you.

    Harry (smiling): Strains me? Oh heavens no! Hot grits are a wonderful lover! Oh, to feel her sweet carress on my lifeless genitals. It is that of the great muse, Natalie Portman!

    Audience: WOOOOO! NATALIE PORTMAN!

    Harry: Yes Jenny, I am a gritsman...and I love it!

    Jenny: Well I am glad you have found some way of self-satisfaction in material objects. Our next guest, however, finds gratification only in the digital world. Signal 11, come out!

    (Signal 11, posterboy karma whore of Slashdot, is escorted from the backstage area. He sits, legs crossed, in a chair next to Harry Knowles.)

    (Somewhere in the audience screams of "-1, Troll" are heard. Signal 11 reaches into his pocket and withdraws a phone. The phone is solid black, save for the words "BITCHSLAP" written on it. He quickly hits the button labeled "speed dial to cmdr. taco" and converses briefly. Suddenly, the entire audience is quiet and Signal 11 smiles.)

    Jenny: Hello Signal 11.

    Signal 11: Hello Jenny. I am pleased to be here. Perhaps after the show we can go orchestrate e-commerce applications?

    Jenny: Uhhhh....anyway, what is your sexual perversion?

    Signal 11: It all stems from my inability to syndicate interactive communities properly, embrace strategic supply-chains in the correct vortals....and that I have only one testicle.

    Jenny: Wow. Those buzzwords. You strike me as one Insightful, Interesting, and Informative guy!

    Signal 11: No need for the praise Jenny. My mod squad is on it. Say, how about that recent merger between Bungie and Micro$oft? That's going to leverage killer e-markets!

    Audience: mmmmgrgppgh

    Jenny: (laughing) Ha ha ha ha! "Micro$oft" You are a true master of language Signal 11, and Funny too!

    Audience: mmmmgrgppgh

    (Several geeky looking men come running in from backstage. Each carries a bit of karma labeled Insightful, Interesting, Informative, and Funny. They all rush to Signal 11's side and begin showering him with karma. It is obvious he is receiveng a sexual thrill from this public attention.)

    Audience: mmmmgrgppgh

    Jenny: You...you...you're a karma whore!

    Signal 11: Yes Jenny, I am a karma whore...and I love it! I must run to the bathroom now.

    (Signal 11 and his moderators get up and rush backstage. Before they are out of earshot though, one moderator is heard saying "Hey bojay, I gots sum cheap 3 dolla crack dog. You wants some too?")

    Jenny: You have entered into the conversation. All you previous moderations are undone, and Signal 11 now has no more whored karma.

    (Signal 11 begins to cry as the bulge in his pants fades away. He hides his head in shame and runs off. Sadly, the audience has not had time to email pater and is still bitchslapped.)

    Jenny: Well. With that out of the way, let's meet our third guest - OSM!

    Audience (delighted): mmmmgrgppgh

    (OSM, the sole source of truth on Slashdot, is escorted from the backstage area by what appears to be a being of pure energy. They sit, together, on a couch.)

    Jenny: Welcome sir! I must ask, is that an escaped Drej from JonKatz's trollish article on Titan A.E. ?

    OSM: Oh no, this is much more pure and supple. This...this is Natalie Portman!

    (The light shining from Natalie Portman cuts out so everyone can see her beautiful teen radiance. The mere sight of her firm breasts is enough to undo the bitchslapping. She and OSM warmly embrace.)

    Audience: WOOOOO! NATALIE PORTMAN!

    Jenny: Loving Natalie Portman is not a sexual perversion. It is a normal and healty sexual outlet with the most beautiful gift on this Earth. If only we could all be as fortunate as you. If I could only have a lesbian relationship with her, however so fleeting. Ahhhhhh....

    OSM: Can't talk. Must kiss.

    Natalie Portman: Yes. Kiss me, kiss me and let us be as one. You are my soul-twin.

    (The pair embrace again and kiss. After 15 minutes, OSM picks Natalie up and walks away with her - still kissing. The audience is forever touched by such a kind and beautiful sight as Natalie Portman, and goes about the world to do good deeds and troll Slashdot.)

  13. This wont work with GNU/Linux on 802.11g Approved By IEEE 54 mb/s on 2.4 gigahertz · · Score: -1, Troll

    The failures of Linux can be attributed to the influx of Negroe users. Negroes have a lesser brain capacity by nature and are not capable of handling the complexities of a UNIX like operating system. In an effort to appeal to as many users as possible, recent kernel developments have dumbed down Linux to appeal to the Negroe minority.

    For example, Alan Cox recently admitted the true reasoning to the abymsal performance of the Linux TCP/IP stack - it purposley limits the amount of data coming in as to not overload the mental capacities of the (possibly) Negroe user. Negroe's brains cannot process the same amounts of data as other races, and anything over ~200K a sec of incoming data can cause seizures in them. While this is humourous, it isn't the best way to gain users.

    Poor SMP performance is also caused by a similar problem. Multiple CPUs is a very trendy thing to have, but out of financial reach of most Negroes. Their natural behaviour is to steal other people's property, and after many users reported thier SMP machine stolen by Negroid thiefs something had to be done. The easiest way was to limit SMP performance so that multiple CPUs were not as attractive. The thefts stopped but the crippled semaphore mechanisms remain.

    A look at many recent Linux distributions shows they are compiled to run on architectures as old as the 486. Because all Negroes live in poverty, a 486 is all most can afford. Linux suffers for users as it is and to cut out a minority architecture would not be good. Therefore nearly every distribution is forced to include support for legacy systems. This is a hinderance to performance and disk space, and as Linux grows the additional space required to support Negroe systems is growing too large.

    I suggest that we, non-Negroe Linux users, find a way to segregate the Negroe Linux users to a seperate kernel or implement a system of dynamic performance levels.

    My plan is 3 fold: /bin/login can be edited to check for the user's race before logon. Since all Negroes are greasy, a USB or serial port sensor that checks for the amount of grease on the keyboard can be installed. If a high level is detected, a barcode reader reads a barcode tattooed on the forehead of all authorized Negroe Linux users. If the barcode checksums correctly, the login continues as normal.

    I welcome your input.

    im calling out my man TRoLLaXoR! where are you? anyway, listen, remember that jewish bitch we gangbanged...Natalia..no Natalie? Natalie Portman, thats it! well she pages me yesterday looking for some sweet loving.

    so i shut off my 486 and go to her house. i knock on the door and she greets me in. (naked of course..crazy bitch) we made smalltalk for a bit while i smoked a cigarette. she was rambling something about how she wanted "that huge fat cock" of yours! i dont know what you two were doing while i was gone but she sure seems hooked on you man!

    i told her you were off battling the homosexuals in Kansas City and she'd have to settle for my tiny 3 inch pierced tool. she pouted and mumbled something about and "8 inch cock thick as a mans wrist." i just sat there smoking my Marlboro while she went on and on about you. finally i got sick of it and extinguished my cigarette out on her left breast. it went PSSSTTT and i laughed.

    she ran into the kitchen to go tend to her burn. in her abscence i made my way back to my truck and pulled out my petrification ray. now this petrification ray is SO much better than the version i had last year. i ditched Linux as the OS on it and replaced it with *BSD - and now it doesnt crash, its latency is lower, and once again i enjoy petrifiying young girls with it!

    so i walk back in and Natalies on the couch. she looks up at me, starts to mumble about how im an ass, but before she finishes my petrification ray is humming to life. i set the switch to "HOT GRITS" and pulled the trigger. grits flew all over her, covering every inch of her body in thier warm embrace. she stood up, as if to run away, and i thought it such folly. once faeryman decides to petrify someone there is no escape.

    the grits started cooling down, encasing her body is a stone like layer. i stared at her body, naked and petrified, and a tear fell from my eye. the beauty of seeing her like that was too much.

    after composing myself i took both her and my ray back to my truck. i drove home and now she sits in my bedroom, naked and petrified. i assume you two have something going on, so whenever you want you can come and pick her up.

    anyway man, take it easy. glad to see you're still posting too.
