I'm surprised it's not more. Facebook is at or near its apex, and will soon experience the same downward slippage. Twitter should have IPOâ(TM)d long ago, they missed the money boat.
if you're about to go make some stupid edits on wikipedia don't do it from your office connection.
Making stupid Wiki edits from work is far better for me than from y own IP. If our IT department was the recipient of some screed from some Wiki uber-Editor having a cow over some stupid edit, they would roll their eyes and hit the Delete key...
The image samples in the article are pretty weak, they look like someone spent a few minutes in Photoshop changing the hair color to gray and altering the skin tones a bit and running the image through a brush filter, and the overall effect is as if they created a "Second Life" clone from a photograph. Not very good age-progression at all.
So you don't like working for the DoD because of personal ideological conflicts? I'm a left leaning life-long Democrat who has worked for the DoD for 20 years. My job is very satisfying, I am not a slave, and am well-paid for my work. As a patriotic individual that believes in a strong national defense, I am also supporting the welfare of my country. Don't assume that all "right thinking Liberals" think as you, and those that don't are somehow dupes of the Right Wing Nutters.
I know people are *not* going to like this... I worked at the Seattle Sheraton back in 1998 - 1999, and Doohan came in to eat at our lower end restaurant, at that time called Pike Place Cafe. I was the Pastry Chef at the time. As a manager, on occasion I had to go out and deal with customer "issues". Doohan was drunk off his ass and one of the rudest customers I've ever had to deal with. Very abrasive with the wait staff, and if it where not for the fact that he got up and left on his own, I would have had to call Security to escort him out. I think he was staying in the hotel, but I'm not sure, just that he was highly inebriated and rude and abusive to our staff.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but it's a true story.
It's not at all uncommon for people with small genitals and body oder issues that keep them from getting laid, to lash out on the Internet in the manner that you have. You comment clearly indicates that therapy has *not* helped you. Suicide is always an option.
I say we should let Barry Bonds and his ilk shoot up steroids or whatever they like and leave them the hell alone.
For professional sports like football and baseball, cycling and the like, I think that's a very interesting idea.
I for one throught football was much more interesting in the days of the Oakland Raiders. Football (at least) is a "thug" sport that involves violence as a major part of the play. I say let the players use whatever gives them the edge.
Now, having someone burgle the coach's office for the play-book, or crack the crypto on the wireless com the opposing team is using during the game, that's not the same.
Grow up, get over it, find a grown up activity where cheating gets you punched in the throat.
"Grown up activities" that intellectually mature individuals participate in generally don't involve getting "punched in the throat", even for cheating. That's not how intellectually mature individuals deal with such situations.
Well, FOD is more in relation to damage to the A/C which obviously didn't occur.
You don't spend too much time around aircraft and airfields, do you? Mr. AC? "FOD" is commonly considered to be anything that has the POTENTIAL to cause damage. A bolt on the taxi-way, a wrench left unattended in the cargo hold... FOD.
Disclosure: I've worked about 50 yards from an active Air Force runway for, oh, maybe 20 years.
130,000 Internet cafes in China, eh? Wonder if a correlation could be made to the levels of gold farming and forum spam for fake sports shoes and designer hand bags?

There are, as well, media sources that say this *isn't* so, and that this is mostly a Media Hysteria. For example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/29/tv_news_goes_hollywood/

Yes, yes it is. And hard to find.

Your post is nothing more than a wordy troll. All troll, no substence.

Wow. Just wow. You don't get laid much, do you.

How old are you? Apparently you are unaware of the reputation of the *original* Oakland Raiders. I guess you are under 25?

WARNING: Parent is Goatse
What I find interesting, Chris, is that the parent has apparently never seen Goatse before. "Or something".
I'd be more interested if Flight Safety contacted him about improperly securing dangerous FOD.
I think your comments are out of line.
I see that it isn't allowed to post negative comments in threads started by "Slashdot Employees". How professional of you.
Your "piss" has a Frost to it. That's all I need to know about you. Idiot.
And while I post under my account with "excellent" karma, you post as an Anon Coward.
Your "sig" has a Twitter link. That's all I need to know about you. Idiot.
