OK, it looks like once again I've overstated what I wanted to say in my other post: I at no point, intended to threaten anyone. The worst - and this would be only if John turned out much worse than he actually did - would be to say to his parents something along the lines of "Your son cares more for his 'jihad' than he does for your privacy." etc but NO THREATENING OR ACTUAL HARM. But he didn't so that is moot anyway. Currently, I bear no ill will towards him and have no intention of using the data I have in any way.
At this point, I want to propose something between a truce and a surrender. You want me to say you win? Fine. You win. You trolled, I lost. Sure.
This probably seems suspicious, so I should explain my reasoning. This battle is not only utterly pointless and annoying, but is skirting harassment and legality. For what? Pride? Keep your egos. You win.
Go ahead and defame me. Continue to call me a faggot, liar, nazi, whatever. Just keep it in slashdot, and I'll do the same. (And get a new account.) That's the 'truce' part. The 'surrender' part is this: I concede to being 'pwn3d'. You care, I don't, and you are better trolls than I am. Continuing this 'war' will never benefit either party. At best, we'll waste a lot of time and annoy each other. At worst, someone could end up in jail. To quote Wargames: "An odd game. The only winning move is not to play."
Like I said, all I ask is that it remains in slashdot.
To make it perfectly clear: IF IT WILL END THIS STUPID WAR, YOU WIN.
....That's funny. I didn't realize UC's address book was that badly maintained. I moved out of there last quarter. My former roommates will probably get a kick out of it, though.
And by the way, i have the name, address, job (phone number, boss's name - Ed), photo, parents' address and phone number, and photo of dad, of the owner of anti-slash. Now would be a good time to put this whole thing to rest. Maybe we can come to an agreement: I won't post John's personal information for the troll-haters to see, and he stops letting posts about me on the front page of anti-slash.
You lose.
In case you want to know why I'm posting at -1, the other Anonymous Coward is part of a group called 'GNAA', either a part of or another name for Anti-slash, who posted some garbage. I disagreed, (overreacted a bit) and got repeatedly modded to hell because I was not acclimated enough to slashdot troll culture to post Anonymously. It was smart of you to do that, by the way - you would've gotten dragged down with me, and accused of supporting those who support censorship, etc etc.
And by the way, to whatever anonymous coward replies to this - yes I know, "poster is a known troll" yadd yadda. Let the mods decide for themselves whether to mod something up or not. And I encourage them to read the entire GNAA thread, and decide for themselves whether I'm a nazi or a victim.
Yes, I'm a geek, but my wife is not, and my 8 year old aren't either, and they manage quite well on the house computers running linux.
Using it, maybe. It should be noted, though, that a geek *did* set it all up. Not speaking from experience (not having used actual linux), but isn't Linux considerably harder to set up than Mac or (playing the devil's advocate) Windows is? Or am I just talking out my ass on that one?
Let me rephrase that: My free speech is that i *feel* you should shut up. I got that out, whether it is heeded or not is up to the mods to decide. Had i been a mod, and banned you, you could say that I supported censorship. Now, you've just proven your own idiocy.
And at this point, I'm going to move to my other screen name, turn off my email address, and block people not on my buddy list in yahoo. What have you accomplished?
Enough arguing with trolls. you lose, I get inconvenienced. *flipoff*
Free speech is not the same thing as spamming the same paragraph in completely unrelated slashdot threads. Once, maybe. We know goatse is down and we don't care anymore.
Do i support censorship? consider anyone not on my buddy list now censored because of your stupid prank. Way to go, you've just promoted censorship.
Free ideas and speech: My free speech is that you should shut up. And you've knocked my off AIM temporarily for that. Who's censoring who?
Okay, 5 minutes after posting, I got spammed off AIM by these idiots.
Yes, I know goatse is offline. I saw it the last 18 times you posted it. Now shut up.
And while i was typing this, it happened again. Thanks guys, you've made idiots out of yourself and inconvenienced me. OMG you can use aim bots, u r so leet.
Let me see what Net usage looks like for owners of different cars, and then let's argue about what these statistics mean.
Okay, here's a good first nugget for you: I have a '90 Toyota Camry, light blue, desperately in need of a car wash.
I spend very nearly every waking moment I'm not in class online - most days, that's upwards of 14 hours.
I think what you were hoping for is that better car = more internet? I think I've single-handedly demolished that claim... oh wait, there's more. Of the first 4 friends of mine to pop into my head:
1) '91 Camry, spends all of his free time online, probably about 8 hours a day
2) No car, spends all his free time online.
3) No car, spends all his free time online.
4) No car, spends about 5 hours a day online.
Specifically, I know of a college professor that could out debate anyone on Crossfire, and does nothing all evening but watch History and PBS.
....Congratulations, you've proven that someone who watches a lot of TV is smarter than a certain other part of TV.
That's like saying Checkers players aren't stupid because they can beat other checkers players.
Not put them in a debate with someone who's NOT dumb enough to go on TV.

I could've sworn I saw this exact story up a while ago (like an hour or two-ish)... did anyone else see that?
5. Wait 4 years, goto 1
They're using BASIC? No wonder!
Disclaimer: Yes, I know there is a goto in assembly. This post is entirely a joke. Except, M$ DOES use VB in places, doesn't it?
Yeah, but considering that Apple caused it's own demise
Causing its own demise? Apple has been proudly on its way out for 20 years!
(Sorry to whoever's sig I stole that from, can't remember)
....and you would WANT Linux to be tainted with Windows code?
Question.... where do i get wget, or how do i "use curl with the continue option"?
/me wants to play....
link for the lazy
Had you bothered to read my post... I didn't claim anything. I encouraged them to decide for themselves.

I've never heard of anything like this happening... maybe you should ask around somewhere like www.mac-forums.com or something.
I like this idea. Unfortunately it will never fly with M$ because they can't make money off of it.
You could put the math equation in an image and skew it slightly to throw off equation-solving programs.
MSN is a shitty search, and IE is a shitty browser. IE still has, what, 94% of the market? Sad but true.
They already can.
In Soviet Russia, a girlfriend has YOU!
Isn't that basically everywhere?

I don't think that's a reasonable philosophy at all!
You're wrong!
damn, someone beat me to it.
I think they mean that the design was specialized for letting heat out.
