This is blatant biased reporting by the Slashdot "editors" (and that's really a stretch).
Had they bothered to done any research, or bothered to write an objective article, they would have known that "forcibly urge" means "prompting a user at startment if he/she wants to update".
What you may not know is that Morpheus and WinAmp "forcibly urges" people to upgrade (those bastards!). Let us all start a massive boycott campaign against those Morpheus and WinAmp people because, as you know, they are out trying to get over your computer.
whoever got first post, congrats. because slashdot's perl/mysql crashed (a combination that "sucks more dick than jon katz" according to one reader), this is probably the latest first post in all of/. history. Congrats!
Its finally happened to me! I made this gem of a karma whore that got up to +5, now its down to 1, Troll! Someone added the 3 Trolls within the last 24 hours! Schweet, I've been waiting for this day.

dude, just the other day i was looking for the "First post" if you will of the word "ph33r." unfortunately, i only get past like 940 results before google "shut off." now i can finally look it up for real! this was actually last night. for give me, i am drunk, so if this makes no sense that's why, but off to deja.com i go? or am i confused? eh? what? canadian! j/k:)
most guitarists aren't "professional" and don't need an Ethernet port on the guitars, especially considering it would cost more.
I bet there will be two models, say a Fender Strat without an Ethernet port, and a Fender Professional Strat with one. Needless to say, the Professional Strat would cost a lot more, because, its, well, professional.
The vast majority of the people out there will never use this function. Why put possibly expensive features into a guitar that won't be used?
Starting on the Ultima 7 and the Serpent Island shit. I was a tools programmers, which is pretty significant in the whole scheme of things (binding icons to the executable, world editor, and file formats, that sort of thing) but little focus was spent on it. Whoever said everything after Ultima 6 was absolutely right.
Its obvious that Garriott has incredible programming talents and innovative game design ideas, but with the Ultima 7 project he spent most of the time diddling with project numbers, budgets, the latest of his many bosses, etc. Most of the time he was trying to please EA which was not an easy task.
At any rate, about half way through the original project timeline (games weren't as late back then, but this one missed its milestones by a lot in many cases), it was apparent that the game was going to suck. People sort of stopped caring about not only Ultima 7 but the entire series from then on it. EA constantly bitching at programmers who have little to no ability to change anything didn't help better.

last week or so, someone posted a "troll" on Slashdot, that went something along the lines of "Put any of these quotes in a message, and voila, you have a ready made Slashdot message" (those weren't the exact words needless to say). A couple of the messages were "Schweet! Does this baby run linux yet?" "Yeah, I know C, C++, Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP, ADT... oh I thought you meant heard OF them" and "I would work on the kernel, but I am too lazy" among many others.
This post was one of the most insightful and funny posts I have seen on Slashdot. Unfortunately, I lost it, and the couple of hours I wasted tonight trying to find it was wasted. This is a final hope. If you have it bookmarked, or if you wrote it, please reply with a URL or a repost of the original.
You get home late and you hurry to turn on your computer
Waiting for Linux to load takes forever
You log on to slashdot, but it takes too long
You feel all right, when you see the gay intro colors
Now you click on a link but it doesn't load right away
You get some coffee while waiting for the download
Shitty servers, with Linux software
Yeah but at least, they use open source
and post bullshit
and post gay fucking bullshit
You check out Retard Michael, he's a real fag
Mind you he's strictly an anal fiend he doesn't want to jack it off
Old condoms are all, he can afford
When he gets up under the porno lights to shoot his thing
And Hemos doesn't mind, if he doesn't get pussy
He's got a full time boyfriend, he's doing all right
He can suck a cock just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the faggots,

[hey]
And the hundreds of visitors, they are fooling around on the webpage
Bored and drunk with nothing better to do
They don't give a damn about the bullshit slashdot posts
It ain't what they call, 'news for nerds'
And the faggots
And the faggots are buttfucking

KARMA-FAGGOTING: The key to getting all the karma

The key to getting all the karma you want on Slashdot is Karma-Faggoting.
Don't let the name fool you. Its a manipulation of the moderation system that preys on the simple fact that moderates are usually 1) on crack 2) brain dead 3) use 3 neoron's for common sense, two of them dedicated to Natalie Portman.
The key to Karma-Faggoting is to set yourself up so you look good. Its that simple! But the amazing thing is, you can use this time and time again with unwavering success!
Here is my recommended way to Karma-Faggot.
Set up two accounts. One is the "troll" account. Another is the account you will receive karma.
Now click on a story on a subject that you are reasonably educated in. Using your Troll account, post something that looks insightful but grossly erroneous. Example:
"while linux may have many advantags of Windows, its difficulty in setting up a telnet demon is a major downside" (note the intention bad grammar and spelling)
Now using your Karma-Faggot account, post a response to this article. There are three keys: 1) protect something that is popular here (in this case, Linux) 2) make fun of the troll's bad language and 3) make sure it is apparent that "you" are clearly the more intelligent.
Example response:
"If you weren't too busy looking at a thesaraus to find the big words like "difficulty" in your post, you would realize that every single Linux distribution with Apache from years ago has included a Telnet daemon. Your post is not only grossly inadequate but a major insult to the Linux community in general."
(Important Note: The actual information posted above in the example post may be inaccurate; I cannot speak to the issue since I am not a Linux expert, I was just using that as another example)
There are many variations. Be creative. In general, any post that makes a troll look bad will be modded up, so the key is to troll in such a way that you set yourself up to make yourself look bad. If that makes any sense to you.
Once you have a lot of Karma, use it to abuse the shitty system Slashdot already has. Post cleverly disguised google links to Goatse.cx. You are posting by default at +2 so the faggots of Slashdot will probably click on the link. Gay porno ASCii art is your friend. Use it liberally. Don't forget when its your turn to mod to mod all the faggots that are using this technique down (they are your competition). When your account is in the shit again, use the techniques outlined above to get on top again.
OTHER WAYS TO SCRAP KARMA
1) Posting a response to a +5 or +4 but with a little more information added is a good way to get easy moderation points.
2) If you get first post, don't do anything gay like "first post" or "Jon Katz is a faggot" (the latter goes without saying). Instead, post a Google mirror or a related link. This is bullshit and rather annoying, but the faggot cracked moderators will moderate this up, shave their heads, and off you their worldly possessions.
3) Many trolls are funny to those who don't take Slashdot seriously. Unfortunately, 98% of the visitors do take Slashdot seriously. Thus, you will look good if you rail on the trolls, even if the post is accurate or funny. If its a flamebait or an on-topic troll, be sure to point out their inadequacies of their argument. The biggest danger here is to be modded down off-topic, so be careful what you post. If your response is witty and entertaining, it's less likely to be labelled off-topic, even if it is.
Any other suggestions for this document are welcome. I read all replies. Let me know what you think. That goes for everyone but Jon Katz, that fucking faggot better keep out of my way.

with all the trouble and errors they have been having, maybe it is better to abort the mission than to kill the crew on board.
