"Baby", a love song by Bill for Melinda
Baby, your creamy thighs make my penis stand up tall like a rocket.
Baby, your sexy eyes make me want to make love to the empty sockets.
Baby, my love for you is hotter than the hottest star in space.
Why don't you come over here and get on your knees while I jizz in your face.
Refrain:
I don't care if you married me
for my wads of cash or my Beamer keys,
Just as long as you suck this dick
I prom-ise that I won't kill you.
Baby, I'm an ubergeek, and I should be with girls with skinny white asses
But I got enough dough, see
that Oprah would blow me,
and then use her tongue to clean off my glasses.
Baby, you got to understand that I'm Bill G.
Yeah, you know me. I'm sharper than C.
And bitch, you ain't all that
But as long as you ain't fat
I'll keep you around to fellate little Willy.
I don't care if you married me
for my Basic skillz or my dollar billz
Just as long as you suck this dick,
I prom-ise that I won't kill you.
I don't care if you married me
for my Godlike power or my golden showers
But just as long as you suck this dick,
I prom-ise that I won't kill you!!
. . . they don't realize that it is one of the most enviromentally friendly answers to electricity out their[sic].
Unless they blow up, of course. That's one lesson that SimCity taught me well.

I have to agree -- this is not just a liberal problem, it's a California liberal problem. They allow population and industry to grow uncontrolled, but refuse to build new power plants because of the environmental-wacko element. It's the old "ban nukes! (but give us energy)" bullshit. If Californians are so environmentally sensitive and "one with the earth", they should have no problem living for a few months with no power.
There's just something wrong with California, sorry. If I were a religious person (and I'm not; it is possible to be a conservative atheist), I would say that's the reason California has so many earthquakes, fires, mudslides, riots, and unions.
The only good thing about California is the Gay folk. I'm Gay myself, and even run a Gay Conservative (GayCon) website (see my homepage). I'd love to go to California and have Gay Conservative sex (GayConSex) with men there, but I just can't stand the liberals.
If you're wondering about GayConSex, there is an article about it on Malda's website, oddly enough...
Yeah, that is sort of lame. "VA Linux" is a brand of Linux hardware, in the same way that "Ford Automobiles" is a brand of cars and "Firestone Tires" is a brand of tires. Now how stupid would it sound if the legalise in the current Ford/Exploding Tires of Death lawsuit referred to the defendants as "Cars" and "Tires"? Yes, pretty fucking stupid.
But come on, can we expect lawyers to be intelligent? I mean, it's the most evil profession that exists. The US keeps terrorists in check not with its multi-trillion dollar cache of advanced military equipment, but with its army of lawyers. ph34r th3 70r7!!
In no other country are lawyers so hated and feared. It doesn't speak well of out "justice" system, but what does? (besides lawyers, of course. american "justice" makes lawyers rich, puts the poor in prison, and provides employment for compulsive liars, theives, and Democrats.)
Actually, Iraq is buying Dreamcasts and PS2s because Saddam is evil, and knows that for every PS2 he buys, some poor American kid will have to go without and be emotionally scarred forevermore. Once all of these fucked up children have grown up, Saddam will publically destroy the horded PS2s, destroying America's infrastructure as millions of adults recall their PS2-less childhoods and commit mass murder/suicides.
A Japanese gaming magazine? You're saying that we should take advice from these people? It would seem to me that the average Japanese person's taste would vary greatly from the average Slashdot readers'... at least, I hope it would.
Well you're in luck, amigo, because it is possible that Jennifer Lopez will fill the "token Latina" seat in Bush's administration now that Linda Chavez has opted out. Lopez obviously would benefit from an ass-based economy, and maybe now that she's in a position of power (over more than Puff Daddy), she can work to achieve this, which will make sysadmins everywhere wealthy men overnight! Then sysadmins will have it all: power over clueless users, money, and man-titties!
I think that Lopez would be an excellent choice for Secretary of Labor, because I'd like to "work that ass".
But then there are a lot of linux hackers with plenty of time on their hands.
Yes, because most of them are unemployed.
The plight of the GNU/Linux user is tragic, and unfortunately increasingly common. After the user is able to trick himself into believing that the UNIX-wannabe is actually well-built and useful, he begins a downward spiral which leads to isolation ("Let's not invite Linus to the movies... he's probably too busy playing with his Linux machine to care."), unemployment ("We're sorry, Mr. Cox, but we just don't have a need for so-called 'experts' in UNIX clones. We're doing just fine with our Dell workstations and IBM servers. Maybe you should take some MCSE courses?"), and eventually, death.
If you know a Linux user, you can help. Purchase a copy of Windows Me (the one-stop solution for the home desktop user) or Windows 2000 Professional (the e-business platform of the new millennium) and ship it to them immediately. While you're at it, why not buy a copy for yourself, too?
Buy a Linux user a copy of Windows today. Because if you don't help them, who will?
Java does have pointers. However, Java disallows "stupid pointer tricks" that C and C++ support in favor of ease-of-use. Observe... this Java code
public static void main (String args[]) {  Thing t = new Thing(); manipThing (t); return; }
is functionally and conceptually equivalent to this C++
int main (int argc, char ** argv) { Thing* t = new Thing (); manip_thing (t); return 0; }
In both cases, "t" is a reference to an object of type "Thing", and the so any changes made through dereferencing "t" in the function manipThing affect the object in main. By making pointer work automatic, Java lets the programmer think of "t" as a reference to a Thing, while a C++ programmer is forced to think of "t" as a reference to the memory where the Thing is stored. The difference is subtle but speeds up development more than you might think.
Attempt to access an instance method via a Java reference which has not been initialized (or for C++ programmers, a pointer which has not been allocated memory). The result is a run-time NullPointerException. The "Java has not pointers" complaint is bunk. Usually what is meant is, "Java doesn't let me access memory direclty", which in a garbage-collected environment such as Java's, is an exceedingly stupid thing to do. So bitch about garbage collection, but not about pointers.
The unpleasant side effect is that programmers whose first language is Java never learn proper memory management, and when they start working on large projects, write leaky code (it's harder in Java, but is possible) because of a fundamental misunderstanding about how Java works. I disagree with Java being used as a teaching language because of this. I feel it should be seen more as a "power tool" for those of us who know what we're doing but work in rapid-development environments where C++ work really is too slow. It's a happy coincidence that Java is especially well-suited for server-side WWW work, which is often extremely rapidly developed.
I am upset with Sun for not supporting a Java standard, but if you do any WWW work on UNIX, you know that the industry Java infrastructure is pervasive. C# will not change this, and I predict it will remain a language used by Microsofties. Why? Well, even though IBM competes with Sun in the high-end UNIX server market, they would be more likely to support Java than C#, because C# is being seen as a.NET language, and AIX of course will not support.NET as well as NT. Sun (obviously), IBM, HP, Oracle, and countless other industry giants have a lot invested in Java, and aren't going to switch to a new C++-Lite language just because Redmond says so.
All of you ranting about how much Java "sucks" should open your eyes. Java has become the language for enterprise-level UNIX Internet work, because of its excellent design, enhanced programmer productivity, portability, countless "real world" features, et cetera. Anyone doubting Java's power obviously knows nothing about is RMI, database interfaces, or networking API. You may think that Java "sucks" because Java applets are slow and crash your crappy Netscape browser, but for the e-commerce backends on our RS/6000 farms, nothing else is really an option.
While I do yearn for a standardized Java, I understand that Sun's complete control is what has allowed Java to evolve so quickly. Standardization, sadly, stagnates language development, and Java is not yet mature enough to be hinered so.
Two more points about standardization, then I'm done... first, look at how long it took C and C++ to obtain ISO standards; Java is still very young... secondly, is there a Perl ISO standard? How come I never hear Perl usage discouraged because its controlled soley by Larry Wall?
Perhaps I'm posting out of character. Er, I agree, C# rocks.
I'm sure I'll be modded down for asking this, but what is the relevance of posting this story? Is it simply to create yet another opportunity for ignorant Slashdot readers to bash Microsoft? Believe me, everything negative that could possibly be said about us has been said months ago, in one of the many other "let start a flamewar under the guise of being a real news organization" anti-trust discussions.
Why is.NET "scary", AntiFreeze? Are you afraid of change, or afraid that it will be successful and make GNU/Linux even more irrelevant to the enterprise? Do you really know what you're talking about? Please, draw upon your six months of programming experience ("JavaScript is l337, man!") and explain exactly how.NET will affect you, a high-school sophomore in Aberdeen, Kentucky. I'd also like you to explain how you could interpret such a story, posted on Slashdot next to the "Borg" icon, as anything but pathetically blantant flamebait.
I have several accounts here, two with capped karma. I've been around a while. But it's getting more and more difficult to come here expecting anything intelligent, when there are so many more mature, interesting webboards out there. Bojay was right to bugger off when he did.
I would like to encourage Microsoft stories on Slashdot, but can be please be a little more grown-up? "No, of course not, we must be feverent Microsoft bashers, because it's trendy, just like Linux!" Poor Andover, and poor VA... this is what happens when you invest millions of dollars in a dead messageboard run by crappy Perl programmer kids who encourage flamewars.
Cut the crap, already. You know that both yourselves and the majority of your readers are scrappy Linux-hacker wannabes. Why not post stories about things they can have intellgent discussions? Here are a few suggesstions:
"Ask Slashdot: What is the l337est GNOME skin?"
"Interview: A Non-virgin"
"The coolest TI-83 games to play during English class"
"Science: Stealth masturbation"
"BSD: Not as l337 as LUN1X!!"
