    I thought about that before I posted the article and I think the war on communism is still alive, at least ideologically, with regards to Cuba.

    I know that the Cuba situation is far more complex than just "they are communists," but the word is still almost always thrown around (in a pejorative sense) when discussing cuba.

  11. Avian Carrier achttpd on Wireless LAN Equipment Shipments Up · · Score: 5, Funny

    SLASHDOT CITY--Slashdot.org has been brought up on animal cruelty charges because of an experiment involving the deaths of over 20,000 carrier pigeons.

    "We were just starting to test a new slashdot webserver using carrier pigeons. All of a sudden tens of thousands of anonymous cowards started posting, overwhelming the pigeons' bandwidth," said the Slashdot.org official on the condition of anonymity.

    The official said later that the pigeons somehow got malformed information (packets) and started crashing into each other, eventually resulting in their deaths.

    There were reports of a large, troll-like creature in the area as well, but so far those claims are unsubstantiated.

    I think one day being employed is gonna feel like a scramble to stay ahead of some impending hyper-mechanization boom. yeah, it's been happening for at least a hundred or so years with basic, non-skilled labor, but what about highly skilled labor? what's going to happen with a robot can take orders from management to design applications faster and better than a human?

  18. Red star rising... on Chinese Manned Space Flight Set For Autumn · · Score: 2, Funny

    (reuters)-BEIJING-The Chinese government today announced rumors that a manned spaceflight is to take place sometime during the next long while.

    "Yes, the rumors exist. Sometime in the next long while we will start to seriously think about the possibility of putting a Chinese man somewhere above the trophosphere," an undisclosed official with possible ties to the Chinese government presumably stated.
    It remains to be seen if China can make good on its possible intentions to consider manned spaceflight. Only two other countries have done so, the USA and Russia.

  19. Where is my anti-gravity flywheel??? on Steve Jobs And Jeff Bezos Meet The Segway · · Score: 4, Funny

    The cat's been let out of the bag and people are going to buy a book about the development of a scooter?

    This product has been the biggest letdown since the year 2000. I waited, white-knuckled and anxious, for way too long in hopes that I'd be able to zip across the countryside 40 feet in the air and at .25 Mach. Well, not me really, but a ton of other people did:)

    The segway is an excellent example of what happens when you don't give out enough details concerning a product and act in extreme secrecy all to protect your whiz-bang idea of a $5000 scooter.....or SCO unix source code...

    "Go get me a drink, dork-lips!"

    last time i saw this movie i was with a bunch of friends during the winter a few years ago. i lived in my first apartment and we didn't have heat 'cause it was too expensive.

    anyhow, there was this space heater next to the tv whose alarm would go off if it was moved. we decided to use this as the "shameless promotion alarm/dork alarm." you know, since a dork is a whale's penis.


    when the screen came up at the end of the movie with Super Mario 3, we nearly kicked it across the room:)
