I've been into punk since I was 12, i've been to many shows, seen many bands.
Last night I was at the usual in san jose, faction was there (really old school punk band) To celebrate the fact that one of my favorite bands as a kid was there, I thought it would be fun to go into the pit.
Well, I didn't even make it through a whole song. I was happily moshing around when some jackass standing at the side of the pit grabbed me by my jacket, and elbowed me really hard in the nose. Throbbing pain, then fluid began to pour from my eyes and my nose. Anyone who's ever been socked in the nose knows what I mean by tears. I got out of the pit, ran my hand under my nose and there was BLOOD! No shit this asshole had hit me hard enough to cause a nosebleed.
Well, one of the bouncers took notice, big ass black gorilla looking motherfucker. He grabbed the guy and tossed him out, but by that time the damage had allready been done. If this is the way punk shows are now, I really don't want to spend my money there anymore.
I guess, this is really a plea to those that go to the shows. The troublemakers I saw were all in their late teens early twenties. So this message is really for you.
How long before your behavior totally drives people away from the scene? I remember back in 1991 going to see mudhoney up at slims in SF, that show was WAY bigger than the faction last night, but there was unspoken rules of the pit back then, mainly just no hitting above the neck, and rush to help anyone that has fallen.
I sit here now, sucking blood flavored snot through my nose, thinking about how fucked up this is.
The group I went with last night, we were all in that late 20's early 30's range. We used to go to these shows till the clubs kicked us out. We would never dream of leaving in the middle of the headliners set. Yet as the violence escaladed we all slowly made our way out of the club, with barely 3 songs being played in the set.
The sad thing is, I doubt I'm ever going to a faction show again. If thier crowd has gotten this lame, fuck them. They don't deserve my money, and i'll pirate the shit outta their songs on MP3. It's not the bands fault sure, but the reason punk was so non-violent in the beginning was we had aware people like Jello Biafra telling the kids that being a violent beligerant jackass was not cool. So the kids had fun in the pit pushing and shoving, never grabbing and elbowing.
This situation has a lot of similarities to the current state of slashdot. Where we used to have a pretty good collection of smart nerds, has deteriorated into a violent mosh pit of 14yro wannabe sysadmin and programmers. All going for the pavlov dog response of karma. dolts.
Hey Cmdertaco no random number crapfloods today?

And you expect us to take you seriously?:)
Ever heard of Oscommerce? Makes miva look like a sack of shit.
Of course, you just missed my whole point by a longshot you cmdrtaco snotting halfwit. We're talking about *NIX as a desktop platform, and that's exactly what i'm bagging on. IT SUCKS FOR A USABLE DESKTOP PERIOD! So what, you can telnet and do a killall X. After doing that 20 times a day you get sick of it. Win2k or XP has X beaten hands down i'm sorry. Why don't you wake up to reality bitch.

Quick, what's the most often-cited initial reaction Linux advocates get from new (usually neophyte) converts?
"My computer doesn't crash anymore!"
That is the biggest crock of shit I ever heard, I've seen linux bomb DOZENS of times when I tried to use it the same way I use windows. Didn't matter if I was checking to see how UT ran under nix, didn't matter if I had 14 emacs open under X, the windows would just suddenly become, well for lack of a better word, fucked up.
For 1 month, I said I would give linux a try. I use it everyday at work (we run a small e-commerce company that offeres php/mysql solutions) I allways loved it for the free stuff like php mysql and the loads of free freshmeat web based apps. I'm not a stranger to recompiling kernels with make menuconfig, ect.
Well like I said, it crashed all over the place. It affected my productivity and in the end I went back to win2k and ultraedit32. Linux just plain sucks for a desktop. Plain an simple as that.

This is my third time typing this, it was gonna be a nice intro to myself, but fucking slash kept breaking.
Anyways, trolls, I'm Senior Troll (like Senior Taco) Thank you for making slash a place I can laugh again, and leading the fight against what has become mainstream slash. Slashdot is just like my lame ex employer HP, except I would rather fuck Carly Fioroni over taco any day of the week.
You see, once apon a time, slashdot made this troll laugh on its own. It was a cool distraction from the duldrum of the office. Sometime around march of 2001 the articles started sucking, the +5 comments became more biased, and anyone that had anything remotely nice to say about M$ was modded into oblivion.
What was happening was the same thing that happened at HP when Carly took over, the slashdot way which was once based on open source fundamentals became the neo uber linux youth recruitment camp of the web. I found myself actually changing the way I posted just to earn those mod points. Just like pavlov's dog ejaculating when it heard a bell I would intentionally modify my belief system just to gain karma on slashdot. My payoff was virtual karma on a weblog, seems like pavlov's dogs had it better.
How does this parralel with HP? Before packard died it was stressed to put in your 8 and go home to your family. Post packard it was think like Carly and her croonies or face an unpleasant review, which could lead to your termination.
Sometime last year I said fuck you to HP, and 2002 im sayin fuck you to slashdot. Just because someone doesn't agree with the editors opinions is no reason to censor them. I found out the real truth about 2 months ago when I changed my threshhold to -1. I started to read comments by guys like the turd report and fucky the troll and started to laugh on slash again. After about a month of laughing I decided to join the trolls in their neverending battle.
My arsenal includes some very rudimentery 3d animation.
