This is here if anybody wants to say anything to me so that it will be noticed by me during the 2^24 bug. (Yes, squiggleslash, I did steal this idea from you, except I don't actually have anything specific to say. :P)

I was told there was a reply to my post. I check this and it looks fine. Try getting its parent. Should be a post of mine, instead I get this. Something's up with Slashdot...

Alphabet, anyone?

The Battlestar Galactica premiere got a 1.6 rating. Last season and the season before got 2.6 ratings on premieres, and last season finale was a 1.9. Considering how heavily advertized BSG was compared to Stargate(which got a 1.5 or so for the premiere this season) the ratings will probably go down from here. It is completely obvious that the seperation of Stargate and BSG was a bad idea. And yet somehow Bonnie Hammer and Mark Stern keep their jobs.

Our government thinks it can override the Geneva Convention and the Constitution with respect to torture and habeas corpus.
In addition, Arlen Specter gets a double black mark for voting this bill in after stating that he would oppose it.

I wonder if the person who wrote this MSVS ad was trying to be ironic?

This post has two replies that show the community has grown an irrational kneejerk hatred(Sony, and before you say rootkit, that was BMG) that exceeds the power of the (mostly) rational kneejerk hatred(Microsoft). One is claiming he's a Sony shill for even claiming to dispute the holy fact that PS3 sucks. Here's my original post to him which I can't post because for some reason I'm banned:

Why, because they don't share the ZOMG HALLOWED opinion that the PS3 ZOMG TEH TOTALLY SUCKZ?
My opinions are as such:

• The Wii is going to lead the market, but not by as much as the hype predicts.
• The PS3 is going to break even. There may or may not be a PS4.
• The 360... well, let's just say that if it doesn't send Microsoft's stock price spiraling down then they'll be lucky.

The second said something about Sony shill ACs spreading FUD and lies, while said user didn't post any rebuttal of any kind, instead operating on the irrational kneejerk hatred of Sony.

GAH! I don't understand why I'm getting these messages(my last few messages haven't even been modded down)...it's annoying not being able to post on Slashdot. Any suggestions?
EDIT(because I can't even post in my own journal): Thank you aymanh, I plan on doing so.

I was searching for this particular article on the list of squiggleslash's journals for a while. Finally found it half-by-accident: So true...and yet it's a liberal media? Unfortunately "Click" was a non-obvious title.

And now that I have your attention, I'm going to talk about something completely unrelated. I stole this technique from squiggleslash who used the same headline but about OS X to talk about the plotholes in a movie he(?) didn't like. This should be interesting. I wonder how it'll play out.
And in a completely unrelated note, I'm incredibly excited about the upcoming episode of Stargate SG-1. As anyone who has watched the (US) Sci-Fi channel at all this week knows, Richard Dean Anderson is coming back for this very special occasion, and everyone who had the chance of seeing it before the rest of us(lucky bastards) have said it was really good. If you want to know what the episode is about go read spoilers at GateWorld as it has the best spoilers.

I have decided to check my influence by starting a meme. However, I have no creative ability whatsoever to actually make that meme. Ergo, I've decided to dump the responsibility on you by creating the meme of creating crappy memes that won't go anywhere! *laughs evilly*

Today I finally no longer have braces. Now I'll finally be able to eat ribs, which are banned while you're in braces. The only downside is that in certain ways the retainer sucks more than the braces do.

Bush's solution: take away our freedoms!
