DANIEL: This is interesting. This is a-a reference to Merlin's prophetic abilities. There's a similar myth on Earth. That Merlin could see the future because he actually aged backwards in time. It's not meant to be taken literally, but we have seen that a lot of legends and folklore have a strong basis in fact. Avalon. Atlantis.

Who is revealing himself here? I, and every other thinking member of Slashdot, could already tell that you are a troll with a botnet and twitter is not. I'm beginning to think that you're a GNAA member, since that's the only way you could be so stupid.
I've spent barely a year posting to Slashdot. And that's in addition to having an actual life. And I'm not a coward who stalks twitter, I'd even guess that you have a secret crush on him.
twitter is a known troll
Known to whom? You and your asstrotroll friends? The only troll I see is you.
and a hyperbolic shill
Shilling for whom? Do you have any evidence whatsoever for this?
only his regurgitated Stallmanistic credo will save us from total destruction.
You want to know something about Stallman? He's usually right.
Go look through his posting history
I did. I was impressed.
As a member of the free softweare community I am ashamed that there are people on Slashdot who will mod him up to make his pointless "opinion" part of the default page view indexed by Google.
Wait, you seemed to not like Stallman when you used his name as an insult, in "regurgitated Stallmanistic credo", and yet now you claim to be part of his community.
Most of those links look like jokes. I'm going to assume you're the same person who linked every other comment of his together. I'm gonna have to say again, thanks for showing me such great posts.
Thanks for showing me those posts. That convinced me to add twitter to my friends list.
And before you accuse me of being twitter, why the hell would anyone make a new account and over a thousand posts, then, after making those posts, friend himself?
Because the anti-shoplifting devices go out when you buy the product. Once you own the clothing, you own it for good(until you give it away because it no longer fits, but that's a different story). Not the same with DRM, which remains forever. Now for library rentals they aren't removed because it's a rental, but you don't own the library books for good, the library still owns them. Next astroturfing please. And yes, DRM does hurt me as a legitimate consumer. My iPod occasionally corrupts something and loses the DRM keys. Without those, I can't play songs bought from iTMS.

Actually, in one universe it's funny and in one it's unfunny.
Nope, but you can do it in Python, which is a superior language to both Perl and PHP.

I don't see anything trollish about twitter. And I was smarter as a baby than you will ever be in your entire life.
Oh, he posted political opinions that you don't like. Now I understand.
I'm pretty sure it's not men.
On new adoption, Firefox is killing Microsoft. Seriously, who has been switching from Firefox to IE?
In what way is Doc Ruby nutty?
I'd say the troll that needs to be fought is you, not him. Go back to wherever Micro$oft fanboys go, leave Slashdot forever.
It's on just about every post from this guy. If there ever was an argument against Anonymous Cowards, this is it.
Or double negatives, apparently.
And that's why China's now a Capitalist Dictatorship.

Not specifically stalk him, just disrupt the flow of Slashdot. And what better way to do it than by stalking him?
Your point is?
And what type of accounts do spammers usually use? That's right, AOL.
Nah, John Doe would be able to quote the exact lines in the AOL contract that would get him cancelled.
Yes, but if there are less young people, the young people will get a higher average pay, and therefore be able to pay more taxes.
Double whooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
Ummm....ESPN? Sci-fi channel, yes, but ESPN? /.? Stop kidding me.
