    WALTHAM, MA (AP) -- Two
    gay men are expecting to become
    parents of quadruplets after a
    surrogate mother gives birth in
    August.

    Cmdr Taco and Jon Katz
    enlisted the help of a 23-year-old woman
    who agreed to help the domestic partners
    have a baby through in vitro fertilization.

    ''Raising children is the most important
    thing you can do,'' Jon Katz said.

    Cmdr Taco and Jon Katz said they want to
    keep the surrogate mother's identity
    secret. They said they fear stress from
    publicity might hurt her, the quadruplets, or
    her own three children, who include twin
    toddlers.

    Growing Generations, a California
    company that works with gays and
    surrogate mothers, says there have been
    triplet births among the company's 200 clients, but no quadruplets.

    Shirley Zager, director of the Illinois-based Organization of Parents through
    Surrogacy, said that to her knowledge, no quadruplets have been born to a
    surrogate and a gay man through in vitro fertilization.

    Quadruplets are uncommon under any circumstances. In Kentucky, only 18 sets
    have been born since 1975, state records show.

    The surrogate did authorize a spokeswoman for Central Baptist Hospital to confirm
    that she was pregnant with quadruplets conceived through in vitro fertilization.

    Cmdr Taco and Jon Katz said they're concerned that publicity will somehow interfere
    with their plans to become the best possible parents.

    They said they know many people don't think gay men and lesbians should raise
    children. They also don't want their children to become the center of media
    attention.

    Pursuing fatherhood

    Jon Katz and Cmdr Taco met in California in 1998. By 2000, they were busy building a
    hair-salon business, but their home seemed empty, and they decided to pursue
    fatherhood.

    Last fall, a 23-year-old woman came into the salon with three children.

    Cmdr Taco thought the children were adorable. He kidded the woman about taking
    them home. Then he heard her say she felt as if she had been given a calling: to
    become a surrogate mother.

    She agreed to help Jon Katz and Cmdr Taco. Working through a Lexington fertility
    clinic, she became pregnant in January.

    The men said they are following Kentucky law in paying her only for medical and
    living expenses. Those costs run $1,000 each month.

    "Jon Katz will be 'Dad,' because he's the biological father," Cmdr Taco said.
    "I'll be 'Cmdr Taco.'"

    Jon Katz and Cmdr Taco said the surrogate mother has told them she doesn't want to be
    involved in raising the children on a regular basis. But the men said they will always
    let her know how the babies are doing.

    Noch schlägt EIN lähmend bombshell den schon beleaguered *BSD Gemeinschaft, als IDC hat bestätigt das *BSD Markt Anteil noch wieder fallenlassen hat, jetzt hinunter zu weniger als einem Bruch von 1 Prozent allen Dienern. Kommen auf den Absätzen einer neuen Netcraft Vermessung, die klar das erklärt *Hat BSD mehr Märkte Anteil verlorenDiese Nachrichten dient, was wir haben gewußt alle entlang zu verstärken. *Bricht BSD in vollständiger Unordnung zusammen, als durch passen veranschaulicht hat Versagende Verstorbene dauern [Samag.Com] im neuen Sys Admin Umfassende networking Prüfung.

Eigentlich dort nicht wird irgendeine Zukunft überhaupt für *BSD weil sein *Stirbt BSD. Dinge schauen sehr schlecht für *BSD an. Während viele von uns sind schon bewußt, *BSD zu verlieren weiter Markt Anteil fortsetzen. Rote Tinte fließt wie ein Fluß des Bluts.

    FreeBSD ist das gefährdetste von ihnen alle, verloren 93% von seinem Kern Entwicklern. Die plötzlichen und unangenehmen Abfahrten FreeBSD Entwickler Jordanien Hubbard langer Zeit und Mikrophon Smith dient nur, den Punkt deutlicher zu unterstreichen. Können Sie dort nicht mehr ist irgendein Zweifel: FreeBSD stirbt.

    Lassen Sie, daß uns zu den Tatsachen behalten, und schauen Sie die Zahlen an.

    OpenBSD erklärt Leiter Theo, daß es 7000 Verbraucher von OpenBSD gibt. Wie viele Verbraucher von NetBSD gibt es? Lassen Sie, daß uns sehen. Die Anzahl OpenBSD gegen NetBSD Posten auf Usenet ist ungefähr in Verhältnis der 5 bis 1. Handeln Sie daher dort von 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD Benutzern. BSD/OS Posten auf Usenet handeln von Hälfte des Bands von NetBSD Posten. Daher gibt es ungefähr 700 Verbraucher des BSD/OS. Ein neuer Artikel stellt FreeBSD an um 80 Prozent vom *BSD Markt. Daher gibt es (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD Benutzer. Dies ist verträglich mit dem Anzahl FreeBSD Usenet Posten.

    Aufgrund der Schwierigkeiten von Walnuß Flüßchen, abgrundtiefer Umsatz und so weiter, FreeBSD ist aus Geschäft gegangen Und von BSDI wurde übernommen, der ein ander gestört OS verkauft. Jetzt ist BSDI auch totSeine Leiche hat zu noch einem anderen charnel Haus umgedreht.

    Alle größeren Vermessungen zeigen das *BSD ständig Abnahme Marktes Anteil. *Ist BSD sehr krank und sein langfristiger Überleben Aussichten sind sehr dunkel. Wenn *BSD soll überleben überhaupt es unter OS dilettante dabblers sein wird. *Setzen BSD fort, weiter zu verfallen. Nichts könnte kurz von einem Wunder es zu diesem Zeitpunkt sparen. Für alle praktischen Zwecke, ist *BSD tot.

    It is official. Netcraft now confirming: Dockers *Mobile Pants are dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot community when IDC confirmed that the mobile pants market share has declined yet again, now down to less than 1 percent of all pants. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that mobile pants have lost market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Mobile pants are dying, as fittingly exemplified by an ariticle in the recent Pants Admin comprehensive pants poll.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict mobile pant's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Mobile pants faces a bleak future. In fact the future is so grim soon only Slashdot will be a mobile pants bastion. Things aren't looking very good for mobile pants. As many of us are already aware, mobile pants continues to lose market share. Extra pockets flow like a river of blood.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Mobile Pants wearer CmdrTaco states that he owns 5000 pairs of mobile pants. How many other people own them? Let's see. The number of non mobile pants wears versus CmdrTaco is roughly in ratio of 6 billion to 1. Therefore there are about 5 billion/1 = almost 0 wearer's of mobile pants. *Mobile Pants on PantNet are about 1/1000000 of the volume of other posts. Therefore there are about 1 regular mobile pants wearers. A recent article put non mobile pants wearin at about 99.999999% percent of the pants market. This is consistent with the number of pants posts.

    All major surveys show that *Mobile Pants have steadily lost market share. Nothing short of a miracle could help it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *Mobile Pants are dying.

    Fact: *Mobile Pants are dead

What particularly interests me is the fact that the Machine is a relatively new animal, yet it contains snapshots from my sites dating back to 1998. I can't help but wonder: where did they get such old copies of my websites, and who gave them permission to make those copies? I certainly didn't provide either. Perhaps I'm too much of a purist, but I've always seen the internet as an ever-changing medium, not a permanent one. Archives have bothered me ever since the fledgling days of DejaNews." This site last made an appearance on Slashdot, earlier this year. Internet archival sites are right smack in the crosshairs of copyright, but they are useful. Anyone who has ever used Google's cache (and there are plenty of those links on Slashdot) can attest to this. Of course, the issue that may bug many content providers is how to opt-out of such services, since some see it as a copyright violation. Is it possible to balance the issues of copyright and history, or will these two Internet resources find themselves in legal trouble in the future?
