  1. Re: Also in the news... on SCO Claims Linux Sales After Suit Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    My "stupid journal," which is actually a bastion of facts, is not on trial here. The man who is on trial, Michael Sims, is due to be tarred and feathered soon.

    Instead, you should be rating my comments. My comments are Informative and Insightful, and I deserve all the praise you schmucks can throw at me.

    Don't fuck with me. I will destroy you just like I destroyed Michael Sims five years ago.

    Don't be under impressions. When you're under an impression, you make an ass out of you and me.

    As a famous cybersecurity activist, I've had the honor of dinnering with Segway inventor Dean Kamen on numerous occasions. I have found him to be witty, insightful, and above all generous. On 15th March 2003, Dean Kamen presented me with the Segway Human Transporter, and I've been using one ever since.

    I haven't experienced a physical sensation that is even half as stimulating as riding a Segway. It is a rush, a thrill ride, and comparable to having a bolt of lightning wedged up a lion's arse in one's trousers.

    I'm familiar with Arcosanti, or "Arcology" as it is called in English. From my extensive scientific research, an Arcosanti is a large dome-like community which can only be built -- at great expense -- when a city reaches a certain level of population. It thrives as a city within a city until it is fully developed, at which time it blasts off into space, never to be seen again. I remember when I

  11. Modeling tools on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1, Funny

    As a famous cybersecurity activist, I feel that I am highly qualified to critique the ideas of these so-called "Car-Free Cities." It's an extension of my earlier work, called "Michael Sims-free Cities."

    As a famous cybersecurity activist, I have access to highly sophisticated simulation tools. In one of these tools, which I call "Simple City 3000," roads are represented by small grid tiles which resemble pavement (or as you Americans call it, "asphalt") in appearance. Each one costs $10, but here's the kicker: each year, an upkeep cost of $1 is required. That means that in a small city with 1000 tiles of roads, $1,000 is needed just for road maintenance. In larger cities like the one I downloaded from the web yesterday, more than $50,000 is needed just to maintain the roads.

    In conclusion, roads are not the answer. Proper mass transportation can save a large city upwards of $30,000 per year.

    Trust me. I'm an expert.

    Frankly, I'm surprised that Slashdot didn't come to me, internationally known cybersecurity activist Seth Finklestein, for advice on the matter. I have been abused like a tattered rag doll by Slashdot's own editor, Michael Sims.

    Ever since Michael Sims' message "The Censorware Project is Closed," I have been kept awake at night by persistent phone calls and very loud e-mails sent by Michael. Mr. Sims has called me, my wife, my five internationally acclaimed children, and even my wife with vague threats against me.

    As all of you are aware, Michael Sims is the Jerry Falwell of the 21st Century. He stole away my award winning project, the Censorware project, in what can only be called the crime of the century. (Do revisit, I've added many updates.)

    When Michael Sims took away my project, he left me angry and bitter. From his first message "The Censorware Project is now closed" to his current propagation of lies and slander, Michael Sims has desecrated the freedom that I and every American stand for.

    Sex.com is a pitiful excuse for a "hijacking." I implore you, Slashdot, do a story about Michael Sims taking away a web site that is far more enticing than any "Sex" site.

  20. Re:Sigh.. on Internet + Wireless Cameras = Homeland Security · · Score: 1, Funny

    You know, I was just talking about this over coffee with my good friend Bill Brown. He runs a tour of New York's security cameras, so that protesters such as myself can easily point out the cameras and mock them. I've been going on this tour every week with Dr. Brown, and every time he has even more incisive insights.

    As a very famous cybersecurity researcher, I feel that I am highly qualified to talk about Homeland Security. My deep knowledge of computers -- which came with no formal training, just my own intelligence -- can easily be applied to solving real-world security problems. My award-winning research has led to landmark decisions in the field of security.

    I have the right to control every aspect of my identity, both in "interspace" and in "meat-space." When someone takes a picture of me in the real world, I have every right to walk up to that person and shout at them until they agree to delete the picture from their "mini-hard drive card" or burn the film in front of me. I know that most of you don't have to deal with these issues on a daily basis, but of course most of you are not prominent cybersecurity researchers such as myself.

    Visit my web site -- do revisit, I've added a lot lately. And oh yeah, down with Michael Sims, who stole the Censorware Project from me as if it were candy and I were a baby! I'm not a baby.

    As a famous cybersecurity and anti-censorship advocate, I've done a lot of research for companies. One thing I can tell you is that $95 is simply too much for a single report. My services are not cheap -- I probably charge more per hour than you make in a day. If you see my bio, you'll know why. I'm a self-taught genius who learned everything about computers without even taking a single class! Now I know a lot of the MSCEs (Microsoft Certified Engineers) out there might disagree, but my trade is incredibly challenging. There's one difference between me and these know-nothings at the so-called "Gartner Group." I give away my award-winning insights on the web (do visit; I've added a lot recently) and my clients are so amazed with this free content that they give me money. Lots of money. The only thing I can't buy with my tankards of money is the Censorware Project, which Michael Sims selfishly took away from me. He's a bad man.

    Cost of bandwidth and hosting: $0.10 per article
