Having not seen Futurama at all, I decided to rent the Season 1 & 2 DVD box sets..... All I can say is that i think the quality of the show is JUST as good as The Simpsons.
Far to the North where the winter storms whip the weather-beaten coasts, you will find a long and narrow country. Here you see dark forests with moonlit lakes, deep fjords surrounded by mighty snowcapped mountains, and long rivers and cold streams cascading down the mountain sides.
Nowadays this country is covered by snow and ice only six months a year. A long, long time ago, however, there existed a massive glacier that brooded over the entire country for thousands of years.
As the climate gradually warmed and the glacier slowly retreated to the North, Man to the South of the glacier followed in its wake. Looking at this country and finding it to be magnificent, they considered themselves to be its first inhibitants. People settled there and named it Norway. They were themselves called "nordmenn" (Men of the North).

Looking at this country and finding it to be magnificent, they considered themselves to be its first inhibitants. People settled there and named it Norway. They were themselves called "nordmenn" (Men of the North).
It did not trake them long, however, to realize that on this land there were various other creatures hiding out in the forests and mountain sides. People did not know what these creatures were, but they were generally believed to have supernatural powers, and they came to be known as trolls.
The trolls would come out of their hidingplaces only after sunset, and they would disappear before the morning sun arose in the East. Direct exposure to the sun could cause them to crack, turn into stone and possibly burst. On occasion the trolls would evidently forget to hide from the sun, and rock formations can today be found in various places with troll-like features.
The trolls were mostly seen on bright moonlit nights, or during stormy nights that could frighten about anyone who happened to be outdoors at that time.
The trolls had very distinct features. They had long crooked noses, only four fingers and toes on each limb, and most of them had long bushy tails.
Some trolls were giants, and others were small. There were stories of two-headed as well as three-headed trolls, and even a few had only one eye in the middle of their wrinkled fore-heads. Others had trees and rough moss-like growth all over their heads and noses.
Although they were shaggy and rough-haired, and most looked frightening, they were also known to be good-natured and naive. So naive in fact that even shy peasant boys could, on occasion, easily trick them. Stories about such encounters are common in the fairytales.
The ability to transform themselves counted among the trolls many supernatural skills. The fairy maidens - called "Hulder" - could transform into incredible attractive young ladies. However, they could not get rid of their tails. Hunters and farmers sons, who were lured to the mountains by these fairies, would usually check for tails on their new-found beauties.
The wrath of the trolls was boundless. It was therefore considered very important not to make them your enemy. If a farmer did provoke a troll, his livestock might be subject to disease or harmful sickness, or worse things could happen. On the other hand, a good relationship with the trolls could be very rewarding.
Now, even in modern times it is well advised to keep a good standing with the trolls, since you never know when you will meet one yourself. The next time you go to the dark forest and the mighty mountains with their deep lakes and roaring waterfalls, just remember, they propably mean no harm. But be aware. In the twilight hours you are no longer alone.
Guys lets move off Slashdot, move onto more intellectual sites like newsforge. Let's post trollish comments to take down this site... Comments and URLs like this:
Visit Goatse.CX Below!!!! Check out the gross guy with his big ANUS. Goatse.cx
What? HE'S NO FUCKIN TROLL U FUCKIN MODERATORS... This is wayyyy olddddddd news..... Slashdot is a huge joke now. Probably next christmas we might get an article about Nvidia naming the NV30, the "Geforce FX".
Speaking of the T-800 Chip, I wonder what cooling method Skynet used to cool this chip down. I didnt see any heatsinks in the Director's Edition of Terminator 2
All I can say is FINALLY... I have lots of ignorant friends who do computer science at university and because our dumb terminals use CDE as its Window Manager..... They immediately get turned off from any *NIX Platform... saying its ugly and gay!!!
CDE is probably one of the most ugliest DE I have ever seen.... Sorry for the negative comments but I really hate CDE!
The paper by Fluhrer, Mantin & Shamir talks about several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4. The paper by Borisov, Goldberg and Wagner "Intercepting Mobile Communications" talks about keystream reuse. I am quite puzzled between the two. I believe the earlier is a direct weakness to RC4 but Borisov's paper does not reference this at all. Can somebody please fill me in?
I can do everything virtually in Linux what I can do in Windows.
Theres only little in the field of capturing/encoding divx movies and graphical download managers, but I might be wrong there since I havent bothered to look.
I also have to give a lecture on the slapper worm in a couple weeks and I havent really started my presentation notes:(

I tried submitting so many interesting stories that were so quickly rejected, but a dull story like this gets approved?
We all need a new fresh news site.

Anyone know if its possible to purchase one of the two from Australia?
I hope it does go through customs so I dont have to pay the extra 10% GST and handling fee.
What really pisses me off is that when Steve Ballmer came to Australia, he specifically said "Linux cloned UNIX, and is trying to clone Windows".
This really f*cks me off!!!
Linux can be utilized as a Desktop OS!
:(
