No discussion of old scifi would be complete without a riff on the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Remember the opening song (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there were lips) - everyone sing along:
Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still, but he told us where we stand.
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear; Claude Rains was The Invisible Man.
Then something went wrong, for Fay Wray and King Kong they got caught in a celluloid jam. It Came From Outer Space
Then at a deadly pace It Came From Outer Space. And this is how the message ran... (chorus)
Science fiction, double feature. Doctor X will build a creature. See androids fighting Brad and Janet. Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet. Wo oh oh oh oh oh At the late night, double feature, picture show.
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel when Tarantula took to the hills.
And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills.
Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes, and passing them used lots of skills.
But When Worlds Collide, said George Pal to his bride, "I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills". Like a... (chorus)

hahaha, that's a good one. I don't see Americans (of which I am one, I do need to bash myself here) dumping their SUVs for Minis. Nobody here will give a shit about foreign oil until gasoline is over $3/gallon.
Okay, I'll bite. I don't give a flying fuck about his contributions in the field of linguistics - I'm sure their very important, but that's not what he's famous for among lefties who read his screeds blasting America, globalization, and so on, and put his ridiculous grab for publicity and cash on the bookstore table next to serious assessments of terror and memorials for the 9-11 victims.
Here's a representative Amazon review of his disrespectful tripe: I was so completely flabbergasted by this abominable, paranoid, anti-American, self-flagellating screed that I don't know where to beging telling you how awful it was. Upon finishing the book, I actually felt dirty for having read the whole thing. Just one example on the first page.
Yes, he's a great linguist. If only he stuck to what he is actually good at, he'd be respected instead of ridiculed.
An ASCII constitution (or Bill of Rights, or First Amendment) would be the better way to do this. Have the tool only work if the Bill of Rights is provided as a text file or typed into a dialog box. I like it.
The parent is wrong. Lucas resigned from the Directors' Guild due to their moronic requirement that every movie have opening credits. (Star Wars has no opening credits at all, just the introductory text.) But the distributor, 20th Century Fox (all cheer the logo!), is very much a member of the MPAA.
The yahoo guy's point was that it didn't make sense to have cops babysitting sysadmins while the sysadmins did the searches - not that computer crime was more or less crime than any other.

Chomsky is an idiot. And I'll post that logged in and give up the fucking karma.
A comment that will knock the socks
Off any statement of FortKnox
?
I think that I shall never see
a first post lovely as a tree.
A post so delicate and short
Compared to the comments of sllort;
A post that reads slashdot all day
But has but two brief words to say;
A post that may in BSD
Say Kreskin you don't have to be;
A post that in Your Rights Online
Will never stop its endless whine;
My Karma surely will be toast,
but only I can get first post.
maybe they should think about adding more server capacity!
I think.
What in heaven's name were/are they doing?!?!
The 6bone's Case for IPv6 is an Internet-Draft that expired in 2000!
Here is a positive review from the SF Bay Guardian.

it ain't verisign, it's spambots reading whois. I get tons of email to the address I have in whois.
well, we could call it a Silver Disk with Music on It... or just !CD.
Actually I think it's pretty damn interesting. The article poll too (an underutilized feature in slashdot, imho).
Nobody gives a damn about anything. But they wouldn't accept that headline :-)
it still sux badly
indeed. I thought the lead was hilarious.
and let me pipe in: the groove salad is tasty this morning. thanks 4 the tip slashdot!
