    You know, I just read your comment history. I used to be a troll like you. I just posted whatever the hell came to my mind whether it be random crap or songs about my penis or just a quick "frist psot". It was a small release, a little bit of humor in my otherwise boring life. But trolling became an addiction to me... soon I was doing everything I could to get a rise out of fellow netizens. I basically spent all my time trolling Slashot and other various forums. Of course Slashot was my favorite trolling venue because the demographic was a perfect fit for me. Imagine the endless sources of amusement Slashot gave to someone like me, a self-hating sociophobe who enjoyed nothing more than hating other people just like myself. So, for example, I would sit in front of my computer on a Friday night and blast anyone on Slashot that would post something. I would call them losers for not having anything better to do than reading Slashdot on a Friday night! Classical projection at its finest. Of course, all addicts have to hit a rock bottom before they become willing to change their behavior. That happened to me on July 6, 2003. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had found my ultimate prey: a seasoned Slashdot poster who just couldn't resist feeding the trolls. I basically "stalked him"... hitting refresh countless time waiting for him to make a comment, then instantly posting a personal attack. He never failed to respond, which just fed my addiction. But then one day, I got a knock on my door from the FBI, cybercrimes division. Apparently this poster I had stalked was an in real life an FBI agent. He had emailed the Slashdot staff and gotten my IP address. It was then a simple matter for him to trace the messages back to me. Here I was, never in trouble with the law before, with an FBI agent staring me down. Although I had done nothing wrong, he didn't waste any time giving me a 3rd degree questioning. It was only 20 minutes, but felt like hours. He left me with standing in the doorway with a pale face and shit in pants. Needless to say, I cleaned up my act and worked on becoming a normally functioning member of society. I started seeing a therapist, got many of my self-hate and anger issues resolved (I still have lots more to work on) and started actively trying to make friends online. Its amazing how much my life has turned around. Before that day, I was friendless, both in the real world and online, had never had a romantic relationship that lasted more than 3 months, and was a virgin. Now, I have a wife with a baby on the way, have lots a friends at work and in my community, and enjoy reading and discussing views with a variety of online buddies. I'm posting this because I sense that your trolling is a cry for help, one that I know well. I hope that some day you can find happiness like I did.
    Oh come on now, a guy hits the submit button instead of the preview button and you guys give him the third degree...
    He's probably already so embarrassed over that he wont come out of his mothers basement for a month and now you guys just rub it in! Talk about a self esteem destroying event! I really feel for this guy and hope he gets the help he needs to feel that he can show his face in public again. Accidents do happen and we are all guilty of clicking he wrong button from time to time. Just think back yourself to the last time you clicked a wrong button, maybe you didn't post some random bit of text to a mainstream eforum like Slashdot, maybe it was some small mis-click that brought up a stream of porn pages that just wouldn't die no matter how fast you click on the little red X's they just wont fucking DIE and you just CLICK CLICK CLICK and NOTHING, AND MORE AND MORE OF THEM KEEP POPPING UP AND YOU KEEP CLICKING AND CLICKING AND THEY JUST KEEP COMING AND PRETTY SOON THERES JUST SO MANY TITS AND PENISES AND FUR AND, oh, ehem.. Well you get the point. Give the guy a break.

  11. Re:As a matter of curiousity... on Oklahoma Security Expert Attacks RIAA Claims · · Score: 1

    That's because it's not in the RIAA's playbook to pick on someone who can fight back.

    Well they fucked up picking on OSU. Oklahoma doesn't have a Pro Football, Pro Basketball, (Go Hornets!) or Pro anything else. That being said, Oklahoma has an extremely large number of sports fans with ass loads of cash being spent in support of it's Universities. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to have some local tycoon pick up the tab for the lawyers fees.
    Oklahomans have a spirit like none other. You fuck with an Okie, you're gonna get more than you bargained for in return. Okies may not be able to tell the difference between a default Apache web page (misconfigured server) and a terrorist hackers attempt to deface a website, but they can damn sure hire someone who can.

  14. Re:How does a dimension have a scale? on Dark Energy May Lurk In Hidden Dimensions · · Score: 1

    Thinking linear hurts more than it helps in this field. Time for example, being seen as the forth dimension, is easy to conceptualize due to it's apparent linear nature, but that depends on your perspective also. If you were to visualize time on a grand scale, say the entire known universe, you would have so many variations where time slows, stops, (ie; event horizons around black holes) appears to go in reverse and goes faster than the observers perspective all simultaneously that a linear model no longer applies. One way to help conceptualize a dimension is to think of it in terms of being a (boundless is some cases) membrane, with variations in it's structure (hills, valleys, holes and/or thick spots). That seems to be the new thing these days. (branes)

    But then again I could be wrong...

  17. The Lawyer is an IDIOT on Lawyer Asks RIAA To Investigate Bush Twins · · Score: 3, Informative
    There has to be an infringement to investigate first. Fortunately (for the Bushes) there was none.
    Read section 1008 of the "AUDIO HOME RECORDING ACT" Here; (pdf file)

    " No action may be brought under this title , or under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture , importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium , an analogue recording device, or an analogue recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analogue musical recordings."

    The senate report on the act specifically cites making copies for family members as "non-commercial uses", and thus not an infringement.

    My view on this is that the Lawyer was simply blinded by his extreme hatred of all things Bush and/or republican. This goes beyond bias this is pure unadulterated blinding hatred on the part of the lawyer and is propagated by other liberal Democrats that simply cannot get over the fact that George Bush beat Al Gore almost 8 years ago. It has nothing to do with the RIAA or President Bushes daughters. Headline should read; "Lawyer Blinded by Hatred Asks RIAA To Investigate Bush Twins"
    Everyone reading this knows this to be true yet I am sure this will be modded down as "flamebait" due to that same ongoing hatred, simply because it reads to favor the Bushes when in truth it only reads as facts.
    You be the judge.
    Read it again and try to find bias on my part.
    Don't confuse fact with bias.

    Ohm my God! will you two quit it! I can feel the static in the air! Revolting is a pretty strong charge, it's so negative. You need a more positive outlook on things. I stand a neutral ground on this because I wouldn't want to spark off a lightning rod debate, having to answer a battery of questions. Yes I toured the circuit once but found it draining. I resisted it in the end and had to discharge myself from it. Now I lead a less alternating path, it helps me regenerate so I'm ready to go like the flick of a switch. In short you might say I have a single direction now, I'm a lot less likely to blow a fuse. When my wife started the tour I had to breaker of that real quick! I knew what it could lead to, I had to transformer, now we have something in common. The iony of it is, I want to do it all again but she says I'm too inverted now. I don't think we're on the same wavelength. I think about it with more and more frequency too. But I'm getting old, my plasma is getting thin. I just don't radiate the magnetic personality I used to have.
