Journal Journal: Parallel Probability Prediction

It is possible that the futures tree of all possible futures can be predicted by a sufficently sophisticated processor. Events can be accurately guessed, given enough data, the allowance for free will and the fact that people are almost as predictable as any other animal.
There is however, only one true future, on which I aim to find in my predictions. I can usually find the branch on which it lies on the tree. Each event is like a leaf that unfolds on the branch.

Ah yes, the moderation system.

If you post something at +1 that everyone hates, your post ends up at -1. Net karma: -2

If you post something at +1 that half the moderators think is funny, and half the moderators think is overrated, your post can bounce up and down perpetually, with only the negative votes actually counting toward your karma. If you get 100 mod-ups for being funny and 100 mod-downs for being overrated, net karma: -100.

If you were at the karma cap before, now you're down below most trolls and crapflooders, and can only post twice a day, assuming your IP hasn't been banned.

Journal Journal: Slashdot Server Malfunctioning AGAIN

An old favorite creation of mine (2001 maybe?), saved for posterity:

For the second time tonight, Slashdot's backend is so mangled that I can't log in or view nested comments. Of course, we've come to expect this by now; it's not an infrequent occurance. My real gripe is about the complete lack of professionialism on the part of the Slashdot staff.

Idiot.

The $10/mo fee is FCC REGULATED. The cable company has to provide a signal, and, maintain it to FCC STANDARDS so your cable internet will work.

If they wanted to jew you out of more money they increase the INTERNET fee and not the CABLE TRANSPORT fee.

This has nothing to do with price inflation due to cable theives.

This has nothing to do with price inflation due to the customer splitting it off to his graphics card or TV and then complaing why his internet is sporadic, and it sucks, and said customer is a fucking moron for not knowing that its because of his hookup, and the cable company can not control how said connection works.

This has nothing to do jewing you out of more money.

It's dumbfucks like you that don't realize that if you want Internet service you need to pay someone to maintaini the pipeline.

It's dumbfucks like you that probably also would expect a DSL company to not charge you for a phone line (it has to be active for the DSL to work, same way you have to pay a cable company to maintain a cable signal to your house).

It's dumbfucks like you that scourge this earth and I think should be either shot in the head or have your balls cuttoff, so we can do mankind a favor.

Go jump out of a moving vehicle or something.

Journal Journal: The goatse project 3

Was thinking about writing (or modifing an existing one) a proxy that will route all www traffic to goatse.cx

Would you, fellow trolls, be interested in such a powerful tool?

and ...

Making a website that uses an activeX control for poorly configured IE users to set that and activate it? (What would the legal implications of this be?)

Journal Journal: Slashdot Flowchart (as seen on K5) 4

I saw this on K5 today and felt the need to share it with the world! An extra-special shout out to LookOnMyWorksYeMortalsAndDespair whose post I got this from. An even MORE special shout-out to the Slashdot crew whose Lameness Filter guarentees that the only consequence of posting this is a little odd formatting. Taco, you do suck.
