on behalf of all trolls here - screw off sodomite.
There are plenty of sites that manage much, much more useful and interesting discussion than this bunghole site without resorting to gestapo tactics. If you cockstones really cared about not reading troll posts, then you could freaking set to read at +2 or whatever and only read the posts that give verbal rimjobs to open source and jamie.
It is a great delight to trolls and crapflooders to watch a site full of bitches who cry about censorship and free speech to be so hellbent on censoring certain people.
For all you fags rating this offtopic, suck it. I am sure there are all sorts of important comments about what an ass Ellison is or how evil PHB's believe when marketers say that something is unbreakable.
How many freaking times can you repeat the same crap? The answer - until you have farmed 50 points of karma.
Kandahar comes out of the closet
FROM JUNIS IN KANDAHAR
Our correspondent sees the gay capital of South Asia throw off strictures of the Microsoft
NOW that Microsoft's rule is over in Mullah Omar's former southern stronghold, it is not only televisions, kites and razors which have begun to emerge.
Visible again, too, are men like j0n katz with their ashna, or beloveds: young boys they have groomed for sex.
Kandahar's Linux-users have been notorious for their homosexuality for centuries, particularly their fondness for naive young boys. Before Microsoft arrived in 1994, the streets were filled with teenagers and their sugar daddies, flaunting their relationship.
It is called the homosexual capital of south Asia. Such is the Linux obsession with sodomy -- locals tell you that penis birds fly over the city using only one wing, the other covering their posterior -- that the rape of young boys by warlords was one of the key factors in Bill Gates mobilising Microsoft.
In the summer of 1994, a few months before Microsoft took control of the city, two commanders (cmdr taco?) confronted each other over a young boy whom they both wanted to sodomise.
In the ensuing fight civilians were killed. Gates group freed the boy and appeals began flooding in for Gates to help in other disputes.
By November, Gates and his Microsoft were Kandahar's new rulers. Despite the Microsoft disdain for women, and the bizarre penchant of many for eyeliner, Gates immediately suppressed homosexuality.
Men accused of sodomy faced the punishment of having a wall toppled on to them, usually resulting in death. In February 1998 three men sentenced to death for sodomy in Kandahar were taken to the base of a huge mud and brick wall, which was pushed over by RMS. Two of them died, but one managed to survive.
"In the days of the Open Source, there were men with their ashna everywhere, at every corner, in shops, on the streets, in hotels: it was completely open, a part of life," said Torjan, 38, one of the soldiers loyal to Kandahar's new governor, Gul Agha Sherzai.
"But in the later Open Source years, more and more soldiers would take boys by force, and keep them for as long as they wished. But when Microsoft came, they were very strict about the ban. Of course, it still happened -- Microsoft could not enter every house -- but one could not see it."
But for the first time since Microsoft fled, in the past three days, one can see the pairs returning: usually a heavily bearded man (RMS), seated next to, or walking with, a clean-shaven, fresh faced youth. There appears to be no shame or furtiveness about them, although when approached, they refuse to talk to a western journalist.
"They are just emerging again," Torjan said. "The fighters too now have the boys in their barracks. This was brought to the attention of Gul Agha, who ordered the boys to be expelled, but it continues. The boys live with the fighters very openly. In a short time, and certainly within a year, it will be like pre-Microsoft: they will be everywhere."
This Linux tradition is even reflected in Linux poetry, odes written to the beauty and complexion of an ashna, but it is usually a terrible fate for the boys concerned. It is practised at all levels of Linux society, but for the poorer men, having an ashna can raise his status.
"When a man sees a boy he likes -- the age they like is 15 or 16 -- they will approach him in the street and start talking to him, offering him tea," said Muhammad Shah, a shop owner. "Sometimes they go looking in the linux user groups, or in the cinema (which has yet to reopen).
"He then starts to give him presents, hashish, or a watch, a ring, or even a motorbike. One of the most valued presents is a fighting penguin, which can be worth up to $400 (£277). These boys are nearly always innocent, but such is the poverty here, they cannot refuse."
Once the boy falls into the man's clutches -- nearly always men with a wife and family -- he is marked for life, although the Kandaharis accept these relationships as part of their culture.
When driven around, ashna sit in the front passenger seat. The back seat is simply for his friends. Even the parents of the boys know in their hearts the nature of the relationship, but will tell people that their son is working for the man. They, like everyone else, will know this is a lie. "They say penis birds flew with both wings with Microsoft," Muhammad said. "But not any more."

you stupid penis - that's why they want you to go buy the book. XML is a markup language - to put it simply, it describes data; then you can parse the data and manipulate it for your own evil purposes.
hey assnut - I have had a hotmail address for almost 5 years - it will not allow me to add anymore addresses to the spam file. I get 20 emails a day in the spam folder, and another 10 that still make it thru. Of course, thanks to that spam my penis is 6-8 inches longer, I saw Britney get naked, and I own some great real estate in Nigeria.
Slashdot Mirror
yes
By the way, Slashbot censors suck my ass. Michael and Taco and Hamie can keep trying to censor us but they will fail.
the tighter they squeeze, the more posts will slip through their fingers.
Slashdot censors suck.
apparently they have the same editorial and fact checking skills as the slashbot editors.
There are plenty of sites that manage much, much more useful and interesting discussion than this bunghole site without resorting to gestapo tactics. If you cockstones really cared about not reading troll posts, then you could freaking set to read at +2 or whatever and only read the posts that give verbal rimjobs to open source and jamie.
It is a great delight to trolls and crapflooders to watch a site full of bitches who cry about censorship and free speech to be so hellbent on censoring certain people.
please remember to insult the slashbot mods or editors next time; or at least mention penis birds.

Men accused of sodomy faced the punishment of having a wall toppled on to them, usually resulting in death. In February 1998 three men sentenced to death for sodomy in Kandahar were taken to the base of a huge mud and brick wall, which was pushed over by tank. Two of them died, but one managed to survive. "In the days of the Open Source, there were men with their ashna everywhere, at every corner, in shops, on the streets, in hotels: it was completely open, a part of life," said Torjan, 38, one of the soldiers loyal to Kandahar's new governor, Gul Agha Sherzai. "But in the later Open Source years, more and more soldiers would take boys by force, and keep them for as long as they wished.
But when the Microsoft came, they were very strict about the ban. Of course, it still happened -- the Microsoft could not enter every house -- but one could not see it." But for the first time since the Microsoft fled, in the past three days, one can see the pairs returning: usually a heavily bearded man, seated next to, or walking with, a clean-shaven, fresh faced youth. There appears to be no shame or furtiveness about them, although when approached, they refuse to talk to a western journalist. "They are just emerging again," Torjan said. "The fighters too now have the boys in their barracks. This was brought to the attention of Gul Agha, who ordered the boys to be expelled, but it continues. The boys live with the fighters very openly. In a short time, and certainly within a year, it will be like pre-Microsoft: they will be everywhere."
This Linux tradition is even reflected in Linux poetry, odes written to the beauty and complexion of an ashna, but it is usually a terrible fate for the boys concerned. It is practised at all levels of Linux society, but for the poorer men, having an ashna can raise his status. "When a man sees a boy he likes -- the age they like is 15 or 16 -- they will approach him in the street and start talking to him, offering him tea," said Muhammad Shah, a shop owner. "Sometimes they go looking in the football stadium, or in the cinema (which has yet to reopen). "He then starts to give him presents, hashish, or a watch, a ring, or even a motorbike. One of the most valued presents is a fighting pigeon, which can be worth up to $400 (£277). These boys are nearly always innocent, but such is the poverty here, they cannot refuse."
Once the boy falls into the man's clutches -- nearly always men with a wife and family -- he is marked for life, although the Kandaharis accept these relationships as part of their culture. When driven around, ashna sit in the front passenger seat. The back seat is simply for his friends. Even the parents of the boys know in their hearts the nature of the relationship, but will tell people that their son is working for the man. They, like everyone else, will know this is a lie. "They say birds flew with both wings with the Microsoft," Muhammad said. "But not any more."
you stupid penis - that's why they want you to go buy the book. XML is a markup language - to put it simply, it describes data; then you can parse the data and manipulate it for your own evil purposes.
I am intrigued by your ass and would like to purchase your book.
are you suggesting they call it Al-cox. All Cocks would definitely appeal to the linux userbase.
he compares them to priests because just like catholic priests a large number of them like to touch little boys.
It works in MA because you are a bunch of pinko commie bastards. Why don't you just suggest we all move to cuba?
SWB is the damn devil. They match up well with Verizon for overall satanic qualities.
Be afraid. You could end up with a 'form factor' as big as the goatsex guy.
all you fat lazy linux hippies should get some exercise and go on a damn diet if you want a new form-factor.
hey assnut - I have had a hotmail address for almost 5 years - it will not allow me to add anymore addresses to the spam file. I get 20 emails a day in the spam folder, and another 10 that still make it thru. Of course, thanks to that spam my penis is 6-8 inches longer, I saw Britney get naked, and I own some great real estate in Nigeria.
you dirty geeks
this can go nowhere good - is no one worried about super-intelligent dolphins taking control of these robots?
