The statement was ignorant because the NSDAP was not an atheist organization in any sense of the word. Their first treaty was with the Vatican. The SS had "God with us" imprinted on their belts and daggers In Mien Kampf, Hitler went on some length about being chosen by God, etc. There's much more. Do some studying.

psychonaut writes: "Digital Bits have confirmed through sources at CBS Paramount that CBS are working on a high-definition transfer of Star Trek: The Next Generation. A four-episode Blu-Ray sampler disc is to be released later this year; the episodes featured will be the two-part pilot "Encounter at Farpoint", "Sins of the Father", and fan favourite "The Inner Light". On 2 September, LeVar Burton tweeted that he had stopped by CBS Paramount Television City to check the progress and was "mindblown" by the conversion. TrekCore has an article with further details and an analysis of some of the technical hurdles involved in remastering these episodes."

Submission + - The Linux Counter relaunches (linuxcounter.net)

Submitted by

psychonaut writes: "Long-term readers of Slashdot may be familiar with The Linux Counter, which attempts to measure (through surveys and statistics) the number of people using GNU/Linux operating systems. The project started in 1993 and shot to fame six years later, largely as a result of three Slashdot articles (two of which brought the Counter to its knees). After four years of stagnation, project founder Harald Tveit Alvestrand has handed over the reins to a new maintainer, Alexander Mieland. Over the past few months, Mieland has completely redeveloped the project, with a modernized design and support facilities (including a bug tracker, mailing list, RSS feed, and Twitter account). The New Linux Counter is now up and running, with all the data for active users from the old counter. The old site will continue to operate for a time but will soon be shut down and requests redirected to the new site."

Submission + - Boost Your WiFi Signal Using Only a Beer Can (discovery.com) 2

What you need: scissors, a utility knife, some adhesive putty and an empty beer can. The brand doesn't matter for the router, but I suppose it would be cooler looking if it were Asahi or Stella Artois than if it were Budweiser.

. Given the average Slashdotter's propensity to spout off everything mainstream media tells them to, I have absolutely no faith.

So, tell me, who is the "main stream media?" Do you mean Fox News, which commands more of an audience than all other news programs? Do you mean the Wallstreet Journal? You do realize that the vast majority of "main stream media" is owned by massive corporations and/or rightest thugs?
