Let me guess. Microsoft OS running Microsoft software, that interacts with the Microsoft Network, and gets you news from MSNBC, and is wireless, so they can monitor everything you're doing (anonymously, of course, oh of course, yes, indeedy). Oooh, that was tricky.
"Imagine transferring a call from the phone to your browser display to paste a graphics file, then transfer again to a cordless."
What the hell is amazing about that except how stupid it sounds? Imagine transferring this article from your computer to a toilet, and then transfer again to a sewer system. Oh oh, can I email my high score on Super Mario Moron World from my Gameboy to my grandmother's dishwasher and then automatically deposit the $5 she gives me to stop bugging her to my money market account?
This is the kind of crap people spouted in the 50's except we'd all be living on the moon, smoke cigarettes that lasted 30 hours, and have aluminum robots that would bring us cocktails in the evening. Tool.
You slashdot editors put out some of the biggest "loads" of anything resembling media. It would have been better if you chose to leave reporting to real reporters, instead of trying to scoop the real media with some of these bullshit editorial comments like the fifth plane in Colorado and "there was a van filled with explosives on the george washington bridge" you added to your usual links to real news sites, and your "heard it on NPR" is the biggest copout I've run across since "Anne Tomlinson is just a troll" when on another occasion you folks screwed up and didn't have the balls to admit it (and it's sad that some/. readers are so stupid that they bought when/. "you only feed trolls by replying" editors tried to convince us that the female "netop" issue was a troll by REPLYING to a "troll." and furthermore, how often do you see actual/. editors (not their lackies like Kurt the Pope) replying to something to defend themselves? Hm. I rest my case, your honor, because as Mr. Holmes might have said circumstantial evidence is occasionally very convincing, especially when you find a trout in the milk, to quote Thoreau's example.") You posted sensationalistic bullshit, you're a disgrace to real reporters and media outlets, and it would have been better if this site had gone down so people would have gotten better news. Just because cnn.com is saturated doesn't mean there aren't other websites where you can get hard news, instead of editorial bullshit from places like here.
Or, for you pinheads who say "I got most of my news from/.", I understand there are entities known as "radio" and "television" that also had coverage of events in addition to Slashdot. You may find fascinating devices that enable you to hear "radio" and see and hear "television" if you get the hell away from your computer for 10 minutes. Fancy!
But here you slashdot "editors" are, risking serious injury slapping each other on the back so hard. Rough day for you guys, had to watch TV for hours! You should be ashamed of yourselves, too, for letting Katz pepper some sensationalism at us from across the river in Weehawken. We're supposed to be prepared for real terrorism by watching plane crashes and terrorists in movies? But we're not supposed to become mass murderers when we play Quake, and we don't learn kung-fu playing Mortal Kombat? Compare your "hellmouth" crap with your latest editorial drivel on the towers, the logical inconsistancies between your bullshit in one and bullshit in the other and then next time you're inspired to type something smash your fingers with a mallet first so it's more difficult for you to type "Techno-Armageddon." Way to trivialize deaths, videogame style. Black trenchcoats, anyone? I bet it wouldn't be so surreal, and you wouldn't be thinking about the complex interrelationship of technology, politics and information if you were on the top floor of one of those towers, you vultures.
Google deserves credit and accolades, by mirroring news sites they got real information out to people having trouble accessing the mainstream sites. You guys could have done that, but you decided instead to fire out stupid editorial comments, because we're all just playing on your computers and your opinions are SO much more important and valid than other peoples', and worse, to post sensational bullshit and rumors and then just update them out rather than retract.
Please, take some pride in your work, lose some of your delusions, and don't do everything half-assed, especially when people have DIED.
Morons don't realize how trivial coding basically unbreakable encryption is, Judd Gregg needs a major dose of clue.
What makes me sick is Bin Ladin and the filth that follows him are drilling for terrorism against civilians with full-auto AK47's with 30-50 round mags and Chinese pistols that probably carry around 15 rounds and even his abject poor sympathizers celebrating in the street firing junk AK's and SKS's. Because of the hopolophobia of this country and the philosopher-king "the law is for commoners" statists we keep "electing," in a free country a lawful citizen can't buy more effective weaponry than a semi-auto with a 10-round mag. It makes me beyond sick to think that the same group that passed the "assault weapons ban" is now SURROUNDED BY GUARDS SPORTING ASSAULT WEAPONS! Why the hell can't people see the elitist hypocrisy of our "representatives" in government? Thank GOD that 'assault weapons ban' sunsets in 2003, hopefully we'll have legislators who are American enough to let it die.
Regardless, if you accept the responsibility of being a private citizen and patriot (you don't expect your federal nanny to take care of you), if you believe national security begins with your home, if you're not a coward, and believe that the militia are not some fat jackasses in Montana who all call themselves "General" but all Americans, and believe this was an act of war, you are obligated to jump through whatever hoops your state makes you (including the People's Republic of Massachusetts and the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of New Jersey, two bastions of elitism and hypocrisy) and arm yourselves against this threat.
I hear it now: "But they don't have the resources to invade the US! My neighborhood is safe from terrorist attack, I don't need a gun! Citizens don't need to be armed, the second amendment only applies to the National Guard, we have the police, FBI, army, etc.!" You are brainwashed by the ruling elite of this country, and worse, you are potential future victims. You are in a feel-good dreamworld of peace, where nobody needs a gun. You are the people who two weeks ago would have said "that can never happen" if somebody said the twin towers in New York will be leveled by terrorists. So when you're driving to work and you see men armed with poorly concealed AK47's planting explosives on rail and highway bridges (to prevent the national guard from responding to the building they're planning to attack in a half hour), I hope you say to yourself "wait, that can't happen here." And I hope that when those bombs on the bridge are detonated, and all the police in your town are busy dealing with the crisis, you feel really good that you're completely defenseless against looters who might decide to take advantage of the situation. I hope you feel really good when the terrorists decide to hide out in your house, and you're not ready with at least a shotgun loaded with buckshot to inspire them to seek shelter elsewhere.
"None of that is going to happen." How the hell do you know it's not happening as we speak? There's a NETWORK of these bastards operating in this country! They have their act together enough to hijack 4 planes as CHECKED IN PASSENGERS, you think they don't have their act together enough to blow bridges you drive on to disrupt travel and then raze your neighborhood for good measure? Please wake up.
Don't worry at all. We all know it's extremely difficult to get across the border into the US. We all know there's no value in attacking low-profile targets like bridges, power generators and water supplies in suburban and rural areas. Now that the airports have double the people making $6 an hour checking the bags we're all safe on planes now. Now that we have to wait 2 hours longer to get on a plane, we're all safe now. Now that knives are formally banned on planes, nobody will ever hijack a plane again. Now the airports are checking everybody's photo ID. Those hijackers don't have photo Ids, therefore they won't be allowed on planes ever again. We all know these terrorists aren't very well organized or armed, and don't have the resources to do any real damage. We all know that the federal agencies can prevent any terrorist attack on our soil. No, we can be lax, and cowardly, and expect other people to take care of us. Nobody needs a gun (except for government agents, people guarding government officials, rich people, famous people, police officers, and the military).
These folks came into the country legally, boarded those plains in compliance with airline procedures, and hijacked the planes with knife-like weapons. They got their act together. You've seen the footage of kids and women dancing in the street, firing weapons in the air, and generally being quite psyched that Americans are dead. And you're happy being unarmed. Wow. Wake up.
And now, anonymous cowards will reply "troll, loser!" when they don't even know what troll really means, and this post will be modded down offtopic. No problem, I don't hold high hopes for most of you feel more secure with a cellphone hanging off your belt than a pistol and are willing to compromise your rights and liberty. But here's something you can relate to paraphrased from the Simpsons: "Here's a whistle, if terrorists try to take you hostage blow on it and I'll come help you."
I've heard on NPR that all flights and planes are now accounted before - but that a fifth crash has ocurred in an undisclosed location. As well, a car bomb *did* go off in front of the State Department, and there was a crash at Camp David.
You guys aren't even close to reporters, and you have no resources for verification, but you still have some editorial responsibility, please don't pass bullshit off as facts (at least without saying "unconfirmed").
Keep a bunch of crap on your mousepad. You know, boogers, chewed gum, spitballs made of VA Linux stock certificates. Everything you roll your mouse over will give you tactile feedback.
And then Slashdot can become an AOL channel, and Slashdot Radio can be featured on CNN Tech! Finish selling out, guys, and try to get paid in something other than food stamps. Take the money and run while you can!
You know it's just a matter of time, guys. Listen to "Geeks in Space Episode 36: We're Really Dancing" somewhere around 20:00 and replace your references to "Easel", "Just A File Manager", and "Out of Business" with "VA Linux", "Just A Source Control Script", and "Out of Business".
Show's over, the monkey's dead, sue ya.
That even rules out some Tetris-like puzzle games where you can drop bombs on a color to make it disappear, space-invaders style arcade math games where you shoot the right answer, and puzzle games like Lemmings where the cute little freaks can die grusome deaths if you dig in the wrong spot. Even SimCity has a violent subtext, with crime being one of the factors under your control and disasters like Godzilla-like creature bashing up your town.
Pretending violence doesn't exist within the confines of a detention center doesn't prepare malefactors for release into the general populace where force and the threat of force is basically the glue of society. Let them eat Quake.
makes no provision for "sealed warrents" at all. This is blatently unconstitutional (to say nothing of the constitutional problems with the FBI and similar agencies conducting armed raids, that is, THEY HAVE NO JURISDICTION) and will continue until Americans decide to defend the Constitution by whatever means neccisary or until the courts decide to read the 4th (and the rest of the bill of rights) and says "sealed warrents are probably not consititutional, so we shouldn't issue them. Oh, and the FBI really only has jurisdiction on federal property, so maybe we shouldn't have them execute search and seizure on private property."
This republic is slowly turning into a police state. Remember Elian? a blatently unconstitutional kidnapping basically ordered by the EXECUTIVE BRANCH (unconstituional). That's my favorite, that picture of the federal agent is our future. One day you'll be looking down the barrel of that automatic weapon, maybe you'll notice that the agent has his finger in the trigger guard, maybe you'll do some research on what our domestic security forces are packing and realize you're an agent's twitch and one second away from 15 9 or 10mm chunks of lead puncturing you. Maybe you'll realize that you and the general public will never know the names of these federal agents (unless the federal government makes a mistake), so when your rights are violated you can't even bring charges or sue.
Ever hear of Lon Horiuchi? If you or I had killed somebody's defenseless wife with a high-powered rifle regardless of what legitimate targets might be in the vicinity (like I suppose a deer, since that's all civilians are supposed to own rifes for, I guess), we'd be called a murderer, tried, and probably rot in jail. If a government employee does it he's "dedicated and hard-working" and "just following orders."
Ja, ja. We've heard that one before. So much for "never again," eh? Well, the moral of the story is when it gets to the point that you're hiding in the attic, please, when they come for you, TAKE SOME WITH YOU.
Russian Foreign Ministry has warned its programmers not to travel to the United States.
If that warning is heeded, it may mean the job market will open up for the programmers who were put on the dole after this economy and this stock market got a little more rational.
Congress is most certainly not reading this slop. Congressional aides are reading it (if we're lucky) and telling the legislayer how to vote. I'm convinced the courts are the last chance against this mess, and I don't have high hopes there. This country is turning into a police state before your eyes. That could be you behind bars awaiting trial for breaking rot-13, you've seen government abuses before your eyes in newspapers and on TV, the executive and legislative branches treat the Constitution as an inconvenience to be circumvented and you still think you can fix things by voting and demonstrating.
For what it's worth, what RedHat says generally goes. Also, I can live with my OS being named after somebody, but I'll be damned if I'll sit back and let my filesystem be named after that guy on Mad About You. What's next, HelenHuntinetd?
I can represent it as "no way in hell." You can have ipv4 as soon as you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. "Ooh ooh!" they say, "we can't possibly run out of address space now!" Last I checked, we're running out of address space now because whoever was allocating it in the first place basically said, "oh, you have a computer? Here, have 65,000 or so addresses, keep the change" for the first billion or so IP addresses.

How come when I bust on this site people call me a troll (even though they appear have no idea what that even means)?
Although considering I've had things rejected from slashduh.org I guess I'm the one who's wrong.
And here I had such high hopes for a done-to-death formula in a done-to-death genre being a great game, daikatana style.
All the FBI is going to find is:
