I'm 18 years old, and with the upcoming invasion of Iraq, the possibility of Congress reinstating the draft is a scary but very real possibility for me. Anything that can help keep our troops out of dangerous combat positions is quite welcome. You don't appreciate this as much until it could be you going into the service. I, for one, am glad to see my tax dollars going toward making warfare unmanned.

The Truth Revealed

· Score: 0, Interesting
The first four seasons of X-Files were excellent and then the series turned to rubbish. In my opinion, the best episode ever was the season finale of the fouth season called Gethsemane. If you don't remember, what they believe to be an alien is found on the top of a mountain, Mulder murders someone monitoring him in his apartment, Scully goes in the hospital with cancer, and ends with Mulder apparently committing suicide.
The season finale to the seventh season with Mulder being abducted and Scully being pregnant was obviously intended to be a series finale when it was filmed and would've been a better finale than the rubbish tonight. Certainly not on my list of best episodes, though.
And another of my favorite conspiracy episodes was called Duane Barry, which aired toward the beginning of the second season. Duane Barry believes he's been abducted by aliens and takes hostages and Mulder goes in to negotiate, disguised as an EMT. He negotiates with Barry and later Barry gets shot, apparently dead. Upon medical examination, they find bits of metal in him, implanted in his teeth if I remember right, and with strange markings that make a supermarket barcode scanner go crazy. And he's on his death bed, when he suddenly awakens and the episode ends with him outside Scully's apartment and her phone dead. It's a prelude to her getting kidnapped and abducted. Great episode if you ask me.
Anyways, X-Files was so much better when Mulder and Scully were on the outside of a vast conspiracy looking in and trying to deciper it. But it shifted to Mulder and Scully the objects at the center of a vast conspiracy. And that ruined it for me.
Just my ten dollars, because this is a lot more than two cents.
You're just pissed because the AC claimed your fp and instead of claiming it back, you sit around and bitch about it. You're a fucking pathetic loser, even for a smelly Slashdot troll.
Good work, AC. I laughed my ass off at that post. Too bad the idiot slashbots and editors have instantly modded it into -1 oblivion to censor the truth.
If the U.S. government had a clue, they'd subsidize developing these technologies instead of digging up protected areas for wildlife to increase our oil supplies.
Publishers fighting against used books is nothing new, though. They release new editions of textbooks every year or two, often with extremely minor or unnecessary changes, just to try to cripple the used books sales at universities. They HAVE tried to do things about it. They can remove a link from their sites if they want and you have no right nor reason to cry and moan about it. I'd rather see a publisher fight and protest like this rather than resort to litigation to solve their problems.
It's RMS, who cares what he says anyways? It's not like he does much useful, and he's the kind of guy you'd expect to see going door to door like Jehovah's Witnesses. He's more of a divisive force than someone who does something worthwhile. WHO CARES WHAT RMS SAYS?
Who said the criticism is about open source? Our criticisms mostly are about the illegal business practices at Microsoft that continue to go on and their lawyers seem to have way too much time on their hands. You don't have to open the source to your software. There's plenty of good closed source software. What I think is best is to stop slandering open source and compete in the marketplace within the rules and laws. That's the single biggest problem.

Register a slashdot.org, using the different characters, and link it to goatse.cx. Now _that's_ a scary thought.

You are a stupid shitbag. Please fuck off and die. Asshole.
You aren't a troll, you're just a crapflooder. You have no right to use the acronym YHBT. Maybe IHBT is better for you.

I think you and the AC are the same person, talking to yourself so you can pretend someone cares about your lame fp.
I am your tiny penix. Hear me roar.
Please don't give spoilers, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE WRONG, you fucktard AC.
Good work, AC. I laughed my ass off at that post. Too bad the idiot slashbots and editors have instantly modded it into -1 oblivion to censor the truth.

Chris Sologuk sucks cock like an AC!

You lose, anonymous shitstain. Your fp has been claimed for all logged in trolls and crapflooders. Better luck next time, anonymous fuckstick.

Just claim the fp then. :) I claim the fp that the AC attempted to grab for Fecal Troll Matter. Simple as that. :D
