  1. Re:from the Wikipedia page on "Slashdotting" on Wikipedia Reaches 100,000th Article · · Score: 1

    Nicely enough, it already is, within an hour of the posting of the story on slashdot. It's pretty sweet to see that it works that dynamically. Certainly in it's self-referential aspects anyway.

  2. Hmmm... on NYTimes Year in Ideas · · Score: 2

    Let me put this to you in the most blunt fashion I can. I would kill you and eat your carcass to survive, that's what living is for. You are weak, and will be eaten, figuratively or literally. Think about it. Sad but true.

    I'm pretty sure you just mispronounced crack and whores, what you said sounded similar, but expensive.

    It's times like this that it occurs to me that we were lied to by the Jetsons.

  5. Re:Ellen Feiss' brother on Review of the New Shuttle XPC Chassis · · Score: 1

    Ummmm, dude, that was yesterday. First couple of times I read that it even seemed vaguely clever. You, my friend, have missed the boat, and I feel badly for having to be the one to tell you. Take solace in the fact that the average person will enjoy the fact that you made a comedic effort and think me an ass for commenting on it. We all have our burdens in life.

    Thanks, that feels nice, she's a strong woman and I know she'll come through this stronger for the experience.

    An article in Wired's dead tree version a couple of months ago critiqued modern supertanker stability, a good read, especially for those in shipping.

    Actually my Mom is losing her hair due to Chemotherapy this week. She was handling it fairly well until the first strands of hair started falling out, the nausea related to the chemo seemed worth beating cancer. Interesting thing is that when you start chemo they reccomend that you get your hair cut nice and short so that it won't be too shocking when you do lose it after about ten days. It's easily one of the worst things she's had to endure in her life, I was surprised at the depth of emotion involved, but when I really thought about itI realized that this is the most external sign that she's had that anything has been wrong with her.

    Dude, odd........I know the general manager there quite well. Great place, picture all the video games and such entertainment you can imagine wrapped around a sports bar and decent restaurant.

    One of the differences was in the "give us this day our daily bread" line. The original was actually "give us this day tomorrow's bread". Can't remember the ending.

    Not the administration, but rather foreign policy was the root cause of at least three of these things.

    The DC sniper guy was a moron, did you read the ransom note? It was terrible, asking for money to be deposited into a Bank of America account, come on. The scariest part of the whole sniper deal was the fact that it was perpetrated by an idiot and a child.

    But really the idea of them buying one isn't so ludicrous. The weapons market throughout the world is quite open. If they're made, they're available.

  15. Re:Before anybody gets their panties in a knot on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 1

    I agree with you to an extent and that's why I do work, so I can enjoy my hobbies and the finer things in life, but that will never make me believe that my work is more important. If I did believe that I would have lost something. Jobs can come and go, the joy I take from this world is eternal in my mind.

    I would imagine that if you found yourself with a life devoid of hobbies (even if they're as dull as watching tv) it will affect your ability to work. I'm not saying that it boils down to one game of EQ or SoF, but recreation and relaxation is paramount to being productive and really they're the point of
    being productive.

  16. Re:Before anybody gets their panties in a knot on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 1

    *I don't play EQ*

    But what you claim is dependant on whether someone values their work or their hobbies more. I tend to value my hobbies more. It's up to the individual to decide whether EQ is as valuable to them as my guitar is to me.

    Personally I think it's a sad comment on you that you automatically assume that everyone agrees with you that work is the be-all, end-all of life. Fuck it. Take a day off bro.

  19. Re:Hopeful sign on Effects of the Patriot Act on Librarians · · Score: 2

    It is not your place to wonder what aspects of my life would appear suspicious and incriminating. Nor is it the governments place to wonder such things. Charge me with a crime when I commit one, then prove it...I should not feel the need to defend myself ever if I live a righteous life, particularly before accusation.

    Also, note that I was not calling the US government fascist, merely the poster to which I was replying. Also, I don't have to leave the US because thankfully I am not a citizen of a country which the rest of the world generally looks upon with disdain at this point. All the rest of your tripe has been ignored.

    This from a guy with jesus in his .sig, can you say right-wing.

    Signal11 got tired of his karma game on Slashdot and went over to K5. Here's his explanation. Also note that after he went to K5 he actually made much better posts than he ever did here. Sig has since abandoned k5 too.

    Actually the cars on ThinkGeek are no longer available. Click the link yourself if you're not afraid that it might cause your soul to be sold. I would say that not selling the product in question erases all question of whoring.

    What's wrong with you?....I don't even know where to begin, but let me just say this: Perhaps you'd be better off if you defined your ideas of what freedom is and contrasted them to the traditional concepts. Take the differences between the two and choke on it. Fascist.

  24. Re:Heaven help us on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 2

    Actually Alex Winter has gone on to a more behind the scenes lifestyle than Keanu. He's been writing and directing commercials, videos, and a few feature films since B&T. Last film that I know of was the critically acclaimed horror-flick 'Fever' in 1999.
