It's more suggesting that Slashdot editors are accepting bribes to link to products. It's a very easy thing to do, due to the very defense that you quote. There have been a slew of questionable articles lately, and it doesn't take a genius to theorize that Slashdot has become corrupt. The risk versus payoff is just too rewarding to pass up. If I were a Slashdot editor, you can believe that I'd put my ass up for sale.
How about this? Instead of going to Iraq, why not seek political asylum in Canada? Canadians will welcome any American who doesn't want to participate in his country's frequent wars.
Yeah, I used to be a lurker on comp.protocols.ntp, and it was a nice little traditional Usenet group. Everyone polite, informative, etc. Then, one day, this total asshole barges in and starts flaming the regulars. I mean, using profanity and everything. Of course, in ntpd, everything is done for a reason, and it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good. He started railing on about some leap second issue, and wouldn't stop. Any post that pointed out his shortcomings was typically answered with a stream of abuse instead of a refutation.
Dude. Pussy is always top priority. No matter how much you get, and I'm certainly not deprived. The shiny and new never wears off of women...as long as you get a regular supply of shiny and new ones. Man of the world, my friend.
Actually, that's more authentic. I live in Asia, and white rice is popular. Why would you want to ruin the taste of a good bowl of rice by drowning it in sauce? Try it, you'll like it.
The internet is NOT redundant. The days of ARPAnet are long gone. The telephone company's idea of a "redundant circuit" is two wires in the same pipe. Proof of the vulnerability is the outages that occur when there's a fiber cut or a fire in a network center.
Why, exactly, have unions gotten a bad rap? Could it be because they're corrupt? Could it be that your union dues are given to liberals? Could it be that unions reward mediocrity and penalize excellence? Hm, no, it couldnt' be any of those. Must be propaganda by anti-union organizers.
Let me guess...it was your type that lead to the death of the documentary form with the wild popularity of "Fast Food Nation" and "Farenheit 9/11".
Seriously, those two movies are the worst thing to happen to the genre, ever. For the next generation, nobody will trust anything a documentary says. All because a couple of asshats had an axe to grind.
It's a documentary, you f***ing tool. Documentaries aren't entertaining, they're educational. There are only about 4,000 movies out right now that fit your needs. May I suggest Gigli instead?
Oh, come on. This is the International Olympic Committee that we're talking about here. They're more corrupt than the city of New Orleans. They don't do anything unless someone bribes them to do it. My guess is, the IT contractors aren't offering big enough kickbacks, and they're waving the OSS option around in order to get more money.
And there's the whole Great Firewall issue to deal with. How will the Chinese government deal with it? I don't think that journalists will like having the BBC blocked. Perhaps they'll unblock the space allocated to the Olympic village. But, even then, I don't know if the Great Firewall is technically capable of this. Even five-star hotels catering to foreigners are blocked, and they can show satellite news stations that are off-limits to Chinese nationals.
It was probably due to the poor choice of medium. People these days are used to seeing Art in the medium of feces or urine. Perhaps a better selection would have served you better.
As long as when I "upgrade", it's an actual upgrade, and not a totally new install. I hate having six different entries in "Add/Remove Programs" for a single program.
Could somebody please explain to me how you seem to be overly concerned with the welfare of a suicide bomber trying to run past an obstacle in order to explode in front of the hotel/HQ/school/legislature?
So, you went from a totally uninformed positive opinion to a totally uninformed negative opinion? Everything you cite is a bunch of bullshit. You have no idea what you're talking about, and you admit it.
And why should your attitude worry any American? Certainly, no American has an opinion on Sweden or similar places, and the inhabitants couldn't care less what Americans think of them.
Uh, your desire to emigrate was based on Hollywood movies, and you have no sense of what it's like to live life in America as an American. The reality is quite different. I myself have been abroad for the better part of 3 years, and every day is a breath of fresh air.
Why not actually use IRC, instead of treating it as some sort of free consulting agency? Stick around the channel even when you don't need help, answer questions from others, and then when you DO need help, people will know you and not tell you to unlink/dev/zero to fix your problems.

"IP Protocol"? WTF? (hint: what does the "IP" in TCP/IP stand for?)
I'm sure that you employ women, minorities, and Muslims at your company.

I'm happy to know that Australians have the same kind of closed-minded bigotry as Americans.

Let me guess, you're a virgin. Or a woman. How can any man say that getting laid is not priority one? Of course it's top priority.

I just looked, and there's a LOT of stuff in there. Isn't deleting this stuff going to cripple my copy of Acrobat?
Uh...I hate to say "you f---ing idiot", but news.bbc.co.uk is blocked by the Great Firewall of China. Duh.
I don't get it. Please stop being such a Wapanese dorkwad.
You know replace "Slashdot" in the above sentence with "The New York Times", and you've got yourself a perfectly valid sentence.

Link. Any comments?
