  1. What??!?? on The Cassini Division · · Score: 1

    "Nothing says the start of summer like some paperback science fiction."
    hehe thats a pretty nerdy thing to say. I did read the book though about 2 years ago so I must be a bit of a nerd. Anywho, in a word the book sucked a big one. Basically it comes down to the idealistic inhabitants of the earth and solar system, who sustain their society with friendly dedicated volunteers, are fighting some bullshit menace; then they are warped over to the "american" (capitalists) world where every one has computer gear shoved up their asses. I dont remember how the book ended but I vaguely remebered that it was not worth reading-whatsoever. So moderate this how you will, but I read the book when it came out and boy, it was not worth reading. Take the time that you would have spent reading this book and pick up something that you liked and re-read that instead.

  2. propaganda on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    When I first saw the movie I couldnt shake the feeling that I was watching reverse-propaganda. I thought that It was mildly effective too. It was just annoying enough to make you pay attention. Its about time that we heard from the other side. Usually all we get is the shitty propaganda from the other side. I personally found the movie silly and inane but at the same time I walked away feeling refreshed.

  3. censor this comment you bitch on Interesting Moderation Proposal · · Score: 1
    Did you read my post? How do you determine what is "garbage". What gives you the right? I suppose you have a magical insight into perception and motivation? I think you step outside rationality when you make a statement like that.

    Not only is it conceited it is dangerous. I dont need your mathematical bullshit to determine what is a proper thought to express. How about instead of Censoring (dont say its not because its pretty blantent, moderation's very essence is about controlling the manner in which other people perceive your comments) we have an alternate forum where computer geeks can talk about whatever they want to. spew garbage or whatever

    Dont piss down my back and tell me its raining....any way you cut it people will still get screwed over. For every ten trolls that get moderated down there is one person thats get pushed aside...a voice silenced

    How about this instead: No fucking moderation. How about we say and think whatever we want? Slashdot is a cool place except when you want to be heard. why are all the message boards transient? whay are there no permenent boards with differnet topics and such? Maybe because slashdot doesnt give a fuck? How about it Cmndr Taco? show some balls and put up a message boards so all the trolls and all the people who come here day after day can focus their energy into some real conversations. How about have seperate fields for people to comment into. they have them in usenet. I think its time for an "unmoderated" comment section.

    How about letting Nerds discuss news that matters to themselves?????We should make this a REAL community...news of, for, and by nerds regardless of what you thinkof it. I would rather see an article about portman or hot grits or anyhing thats REALLY geeky then that whiney piece of shit on kur0fag about moderation.

    Oops better moderate this down, its noise or garbage or some shit. Dont pay any attention to me Im just talking

  4. People have rights on Interesting Moderation Proposal · · Score: 1
    Why cant people just say what ever they want? I dont have a problem with moderation...but I do think people should have the right to say whatever they want.

    Maybe a separate forum, like "read more unmoderated". Its seems to me that simply cutting off others toughts and ideas and not giving them an alternate forum to express them is stupid. See evan here I am starting to ramble, But I like to Ramble, I like to say the word fuck, I like to express myself.

    People will probably say what the hell is he talking about? I guess I am trying to say that forums like this are more like a bathroom stall covered in grafiti then they are hallow and sacred.

    I know people have concerns about ideas drowning in a sea of noise. hey thats fine then they should stick to the moderated slashdot forum. People who dont give a shit should be able to use an unmoderated forum.

    People might say well adjust your +- filter thingie. I have a theory that those people are patronizing fucks. "hey open up the sewers and take a look, if you dare". Maybe I am a little vehement in my opinions but I would like not to have to deal with a rarified anal "comment aristocracy" that dictates anything to me.

    Instead of seperate and unequal as it is now, I would like to see seperate and equal.

    sig as follows:from now on its "Anonymous Heros"

  5. mr adams on Ask Douglas Adams About...Everything · · Score: 1

    Will you start to sell the online Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in some other form like a pda...I would think that as soon as you started to charge for somthing like it you could hire a full time staff to organize it and make it even more comprehensive

  6. glonass silly on GPS Civilian Signal Degradation Turned Off · · Score: 1

  12. Re:Brainwashing and Subliminal Messages on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are not those kind of messages...maybe they are more subtle..designed to evoke a emotion or a state of mind...

    > Scientology were capable of being >that subtle. :)
    I dont know how much more obvious I can make my message. First off Lets not get in the business of
    "He's a plant" Whatever. In the end it will simply discredit you. "Hmm...if he says yosemite is a plant..well then maybe he is a plant trying to discredit yosemite" Lets stick to the facts..How do you define evil...other end of the spectrum from good..logic...the antichrist represents evil AND the destruction of all things good...logic..if he tried to father the antichrist...then it would do well to say l ron is EVIL! Let me make this clear
    These are reasons I have come upon from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE From my point of view it is only too clear.. lron hubbard is a dog fucking satanist...no actually most satanists are nice people...He is an egomaniac...yes evan a virus. It seems his power is greater in death then it was in his life. That is a very sickening thought

  14. Re:On SPONSORING CoS...Screw that noise on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    another suggestion is pirating it on the internet..I like that way the best,dont have to leave the house..though not the best quality ;)
    Thats right Everyone should pirate this movie..ITs a classic case of the good of intellectual property piracy! Lron AND Warner Bros suck ass... come to think of it so does disney

  15. Re:Obligatory Scientology ref. on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    They have sunk millions into this lie. I am sure they will make sure that it is rammed down the neck of the consumer. Look for "kiddie" tie-ins like burger king toys and other crap...I am betting that they are going to go all out, pushing their mind filth on others. God I cant wait to see holloween. CoS is one of the reasons why the world can be shitty place.

  16. I'll give you flambait on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    The CoS Is nothing more then a bunch of cowards! they prey on the weak minded and take everything..money, free will, property..you name it they plunder it. Now they have a chance to reach the "Mainstream" And they are taking that too! remember they have very advanced, subtle, brainwashing techniques..they have access to a large budget motion picture. what are they going to put in it? hmm let me think

  17. Re:What's all the ballyhoo about? on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    Ill tell you what the bally hoo as you put is all about...They would spit on you as soon as look at you...they employ brainwashing and slavery to further their own goals..By the way one of L rons personal goals was to father the FRIGGIN' ANTICHRIST!!!! L ron hubbard gives satan worshipers a bad name!! In fact most satan worshipers are downright nice when compared...

  18. Couldnt have said it better myself on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

Tell me what does that say about his character? Yeah he's a real fucking nice human being alright! Say again. He wanted to be the father of an ANTICHRIST!!!

  20. Re:scientology reference? Who are you kidding! on Battlefield Earth · · Score: 1

    Scientology makes no sense! Why would a "business mixed with pop culture" possess, undeniably, the worlds most advanced brainwashing techniques? What possible use could the have for their advanced indoctrination policys other then to twist the very SOUL! These are not people, these are not demons, they are nothing more then anal brain rapers. When was the last time you read any of there crap? Shit man don't you remember that infomercial they used to play..that was some heavy psychological bullshit. The sad thing is that some people actually BUY INTO IT! They squander all their money and their sanity so tom cruise(read polesmoker) can have his bullshit multimillion doller resort! Add insult upon insult...now hollywood thinks that this is what everyone in america should see???John travolta in his polesmoker outfit PREACHING?!?! the benefits of the way of scientology...more like the way of a certain Drug, syphilis addled satan fiend called

  22. authentication on U.K. Pirate Broadcasters Steal Car Radio Listeners · · Score: 1

    Supposing it is a digital medium couldn't they use some type of authentication or encryption? I would think that that would be the most obvious solution.

  23. use a scanner...like in star trek to see it on The Cat Cam · · Score: 1

    maybe by the time the second generation of these devices come out we will all have scanners

  24. quantum on Israelis Crack RSA 512 Bit in Microseconds · · Score: 1

    but I thought that with a quantum computer it didn't matter what the length of the key was since it checks all the possible combinations at once. maybe it takes the exact same time to crack a 512 bit key as a 1024 bit key.

  25. Crazy? on Carl Sagan Was a Secret Pot Smoker · · Score: 1

    I would think that it is more probable that the person in your family drove him/herself nuts. Pot keeps me sane.
