The above poster is a posting WHORE, is just plain ugly, and read it. He's a moron! Likes XP? I bet he liked all of those services that are automatically on when you boot up that allow people to send you messages.
So not only do I have to send messages, choose a word, and put it somewhere for people to find, or hand out?
And if I want to retrieve.. say I found one somewhere.. I have to either use my phone, or some convoluted e-mail system?
While I applaud the idea for its originality. I'd rather just have a webpage and a gallery.
And if you are somehow to poor to have your own damn page (I mean, come on), but if you are.. how many free picture services are there out there? Nevermind the fall back on MSN or Yahoo or other image hosting company.
To me... this is work... for the artsy fartsy college kids with nothing better to do... sure have at it ladies...
Ok... we have electronic voting... But NOW we're going to pass bills to avoid issues, and make sure there is a "HARD COPY" also made at the same time. Umm.. ok. On top of that, we're going to be concerned that the vote was counted correct?
What's wrong with people today?
Just give them a god-damned old fashioned piece of paper... tell them to color in the circle, check the box, whatever... and then put it in the machine.
WOW... there's not a HARD COPY, and we're using the same standard reliable machines that we've always used, and no one has complained about THOSE counting the votes wrong... they're not open source software or hardware... but hey... those are ok.
We're re-inventing the wheel... and forcing the same outcome. Instead of pushing a button... and then having it spit out a piece of paper.. most places get the paper first, and then put it in the machine.
Dozen of one, 2 1/2 dozen of the other... Who's winning here?? The freaking company that is making and forcing these counties to buy the hardware and software... Then we have 90 year old ladies running the place... and we wonder why the machines don't work?
I say screw these voting machines. If people are always going to wonder if their vote was "counted" (what a stupid saying really...) then stop using them.
As if it came out of my out mouth... The problem is, the arrogance in the "tech" world is huge. They live in front of their computers... chat with friends and collegues on IM or IRC. They know more about shebangs then they do about their fellow man.
They don't go to church, and belittle the people who do go, or just flat out see the world differently.
The same people who says if you don't like / agree with gays then you're a homophobe and are intollerant... All the while being completely intollerant of that persons view.
It's the, freedom of speech is ok as long as I agree with it attitude.
The same people who plauded Michael Moores drivel... claimed free speech, yet then proceeded to get the swift vets book banned, and pulled from the shelves. Free speech my ass.
Until these people start becoming intellectually honest with themselves, nothing will change.
The Democratic party will now split. The moderate will say that they were too far to the left... the far left will say they were not far enough. She'll crumble... When you don't have core values, and don't stand for anything... this will happen.
If you claim that you're going to move.. then move.
All these worthless threats. If you want to change the system then change it. But you're not going to do it running around saying that you want to the UN to be apart of everything, that you're not a fan of the Military, that guns should be banned, and that Gay's should have full rights....
Seriously. You just can't do it. Not here. In your city? San Fran.. New York.. maybe. But look at the electoral map by County. It's almost all Red.
http://www.hannity.com/img/election_map04.jpg
Only place I could find it real quick. Look how much red. If what I said is what you believe in, then you're just not going to be in power... you do NOT have the majority view.
This is why Nader doesn't win. This is why Kerry didn't win.
Either that, or start understanding how the real world works. Too many kiddies are sound bite sallys and never stop to fully understand the truth.
Not because I'm for one side or another, I'm not. I really could care less. But all I see is constant bickering and splintering of whats left of the already sparce intelligent community.
Most have left already, the rest will go.
Instead of uniting behind intelligent debate on technological issues, you're doing your best to find hype to divide the rest.
How about Kerry Cheating during the debates? http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc57.htm
Nope, wont see that one here, but lets post old news instead about something that the CIA did, and blah blah blah... so it continues.
Basically I hate seeing what has happened to the community here. Trolls and moronic posts, and the topics are now lamer then ever. Worst part, I usually read about these topics elsewhere, long before I see them here. Slashdot has become more of an archive then anything.
Oh, and OSDN? What happened to that? Now we're OSTG.. ah yeah... Why don't you just close down the site, call open source a sham because you lived out your 15 minutes.
Bleh... Karma to spare because I used to care.
Let the moronic and short smart-ass and anonymous posts ensue...
If you care, then you can see the truth in my post. If you don't care, then just mod me down because you're a liberal, and I'm an open minded thinker. Thank you.
Chinese Google (Your posted link): http://www.google.com/search?hl=zh-CN&ie=U TF-8&saf e=off&q=%22Does+Google+Censor+Chinese+News%3F%22&b tnG=%E6%90%9C%E7%B4%A2&lr=
If you search for the same string: "Does Google Censor Chinese News?" (with the quotes as you did), you turn up nothing at both.
Right... So since the Chinese Government is "Evil" as everyone supposedly knows, so you give them a pass?
It's ok for the Gov't to be evil because it is expected of them? And Google is evil for trying to comply with getting their foot through the door?
Change the Government and your corporations wouldn't have to bend over for them.
The Chinese Government is the School Bully, and Google is the weak kid getting beat up everyday. Google either goes around and stays under the Bully's radar, or gets beat up again.
You're telling Google to stand up to the Bully only to get beat up again, while you share none of the consequences.... You just demand.
If you want change, then you need to stand up and ask for it. If Google sees others standing up against the Chinese Government asking for change then Google will stand with you. If you ask them to do it alone, then they won't. They know they'll be beaten.
I love how people are bitching about how Google is at fault for possible complying with the Chinese Gov't.
And that Google's policy is Don't be evil, unless you have to...
But no one is bitching about the Chinese Government... What's up with that? It's the Chinese Government making these policies, and if google wants in, then they must comply. Simple.
If the United States Government required Google to filter out all READ: EVIL CONTENT, then the same folks would be up in arms over the US Gov't, and not google.
I guess out of sight out of mind eh? Or maybe it's just expected from Communists? I can't say why... More of an observation, but I do find it interesting that people are reacting harder on Google then the Government.
It may or may not be true that "most" of the people who respond to you are "idiots,"...
Well, I replied... So the answer is not that it "MAY" be true, but it IS true. Case in point, your post. You have not facilitated in the conversation at all, just critisized something that had NOTHING to do with the parent conversation. But you bicker on someone's sig. There's a lot of dumb sigs... Your's included. If Samuel Clemens is the best you've got, then you better buy a book.
heh.. You ARE an idiot. That's the funniest part too...
You want me to turn it off, but then say I'll be ignorant? Ha... The ignorance is yours boy... I'll challenge you to a debate anytime anywhere. You have no idea how much of an informed person I am. You on the other hand hold ignorance bliss and dear to your heart.
Moore wants people to vote against Bush, but this movie will have an opposite effect.
Let's say an undecided person watches the movie the day before. The day of the election he comes in all pissed off about Bush. His Co-worker then points to one of the numberous sites calling the movie a "work of fiction" with source to reputable newspapers, etc.
The guy is then pissed off that he was "duped" by Moore.
Whether the being "duped" is true or not, I'm not arguing, but I DO see this transpiring. He'll then go into the voting booth feeling like he was lied to, and will NOT be trusting of the other candidate, i.e., Kerry. And will either vote for Bush, or vote for Nader if he still hates Bush.
My words of advice:
Vote for who you like, and not who you Hate. If you hate them all, vote for your mother instead. You still don't hate her right?
And now for the slow paintfull demise of Slashdot.
Let's get irrelavant and uniformed people to bitch about politics on a site that should be about technology and geekhood.
Yup, so let's see... there's a bunch of Germans and Swedish people bitching about a President they can not elect nor vote against.
This is just going to be useless bickering...
"The movie is full of lies!" vs. "The movie is SO true!"
Does the movie have lies... YES. Does it also have some truth.. YES. Until you yourself can admit this, you're not going to get anywhere or ever be better informed.
------------------
Oh, but that won't be it.... We'll have moderators split with their party ideals and mod up what they like and mod down what they don't. So intelligent posts will get modded down just because. And it won't matter what political party the poster belongs to, it will just happen.
------------------
In the end this whole "politics" section is silly... Let it die like the "radio" http://radio.slashdot.org/ section.
Sub 7 / BO and others have given the user *cough* kiddie *cough* this ablility for some time.
Sure they're not a worm, but the idea isn't new.
Funny now that I think about it, but I used to use Sub 7 on my home computer so I could access it from anywhere via an odd port and password protected. I could view my web cam, take control of my computer, ftp files upload and download to where-ever I was.
Honestly, it was an extremely useful program. And when I was done, I'd just shut down the server.
I've moved over to linux so I can ssh now, but as windows went, it was still one of the best remote programs I've ever used.
Slashdot Mirror
Ha.. you MORON!!!
Dude.. what he was referring to was that the Judges that said YES to this decision were the LIBERAL JUDGES...
NOT the Conservative ones. The Conservative ones where who disagreed and therefore dissented with the ruling.
Nice job dipshit. Get the facts first then post. Your #4 is right back in your face. Hope you feel intelligent, because your post speaks otherwise.
While everyone is bitching and moaning about the Patriot Act and protecting your library cards... They took your house from you.
Hey.... So you've got nowhere to live, but your library cards are SAFE!
Yeah... Way to get your priorities straight....
Go Liberal Judges!!!! Woohoo.... take more from me you bitches....
It was done so because CNN sucks... And pissing off morons like CNN watchers is fun. I mean, look at your response. Ha.
Oh.. check out my sig.
Yeah.. and after reading that page, I can see why.
Oh wait.. Look here. Wikipedia changed, my god... They change Another page! Let's link to it.
Ugh.

I say screw these voting machines. If people are always going to wonder if their vote was "counted" (what a stupid saying really...) then stop using them.
