Rob Malda was apparently muscle Gandhi at this year's Halloween party. I'm not sure the Mahatma was ever *that* buff...

If flickr were like slashdot, I'd be screaming "FIRST POST!"
Oh, but Elea did post the weird Wirehead pic... :/
John grabbed Slashdot as an example, and the title of the first item that came back was "Extraterrestrials Probably Haven't Found Us - Yet".
Wow. I'm bored. So this is way more amusing than it should be..... but I must say, I've never gotten an error message from /. before.

Op de vele handelsmissies in den Vreemden gebeuren rare dingen. Als je een beetje indruk wilt maken, moet je iets hebben om mee te pronken. Gezien de reisleiding graag wat zaakjes zou willen doen met Sjeik Oliglans en zijn rienden, moet er het nodige gebeuren. Zonder een mooi stukje geokunst hoor je er namelijk niet echt meer bij anno 2012. Bijvoorbeeld het bekende Palm Island of dit: idle.slashdot.org/story/11/07/20/ 162212/sheikh-carves-his-name-in-de sert-so-its-visible-from-space Daarom ziet de reisleiding graag de tekst iScout op een respectabel formaat (zeker 2 meter lang) uitgegraven dan wel opgehoogd boven het maaiveld. iS cout als eiland in een mooi vijvertje mag ook.
SLASHDOT: Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens
"The North Country Gazette, a news blog, says users who read beyond a single page of an article must pay up or they will be tracked down. They don't have a pay wall. If you go beyond page 1, you owe them. From the article: 'A subscription is required at North Country Gazette. We allow only one free read per visitor. We are currently gathering IPs and computer info on persistent intruders who refuse to buy subscription and are engaging in a theft of services. We have engaged an attorney who will be doing a bulk subpoena demand on each ISP involved, particularly Verizon Droids, Frontier and Road Runner, and will then pursue individual legal actions.'"

This will no doubt put the U.S. science research back for decades to come.
A Chinese language newspaper in San Francisco reported that 1400 scientists of Chinese descent had left the U.S. for China last year due to deteriorating U.S.-China relationship: That article as well as the WSJ article below are based on data gathered by researchers from Princeton University, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Harvard, MIT lose experienced scholars as fear of government surveillance prompts 4 in 10 to consider leaving
HONG KONG—An increasing number of scientists and engineers of Chinese descent are giving up tenured positions at top-tier American universities to leave for China or elsewhere, in a sign of the U.S.’s fading appeal for a group that has been a driver of innovation.
The trend, driven in part by what many of the scholars describe as an increasingly hostile political and racial environment, has caused the Biden administration to work with scholars of Chinese descent to address concerns.
US-China Tensions Fuel Outflow of Chinese Scientists From US Universities
An increasing number of scientists and engineers of Chinese descent are giving up tenured positions at top-tier American universities to leave for China or elsewhere, in a sign of the U.S.'s fading appeal for a group that has been a driver of innovation. From a report:
The trend, driven in part by what many of the scholars describe as an increasingly hostile political and racial environment, has caused the Biden administration to work with scholars of Chinese descent to address concerns. More than 1,400 U.S.-trained Chinese scientists dropped their U.S. academic or corporate affiliation for a Chinese one in 2021, a 22% jump from the previous year, according to data gathered by researchers from Princeton University, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The data, to be published by the advocacy group Asian American Scholar Forum on Friday, is based on changes to the addresses listed under authors' names in academic journals.
Chinese scientists trained in the U.S. have returned to China in increasing numbers over the past two decades as the country has grown more affluent and gained stature as a center of scientific research. In the past decade, China has tried to recruit top researchers through talent programs, but historically the majority elected to stay in the U.S. Departures from the U.S. rose sharply starting in 2020, however, when the Covid-19 pandemic coincided with an increase in criminal cases filed against academics under the China Initiative, a Trump-era Justice Department program intended to counter national security threats from China. President Biden's Justice Department said it would stop pursuing new cases under the China Initiative in February, following a series of failed prosecutions and complaints of racial profiling, but some scientists of Chinese descent said they still feel as though suspicions are being directed toward them and fear that will continue as long as relations between the U.S. and China remain tense.
Lights on, everything shut down.
I took these photos in response to a story on Slashdot called "A Bill of Lights" in which the author wished to get manufacturers to tone down the LED insanity. It struck a chord with me, so I decided to photograph my desk with the lights on and the lights off.
I revived the old beige box that has been sitting in a corner since it died in 2004. To the right, the Powerbook that replaced it.
This is hilarious. From the screen of a laptop in front of me. Slashdot? RSS Reader? Digg? Nope. Celebrity gossip.
Just goes to show you. Everyone loves celebrity gossip.
Secangkir kopi untuk menemani disaat membaca slashdot :-) Bangun tidur jam 3, kerja sebentar, buat kopi hmmm sedap.
My first (and accidental) visit to Slashdot.com inspired me not to go back, unless I need a bit of a chuckle again.
Easily the highlight of Mashup Camp 3: John Herrin's Ruby demonstration. Two or three very small lines resulted in a full-on Bayesian analysis that was pretty darn good at telling the difference between a post on Digg and a post on Slashdot.
All is right now with the world. Or at least my desk.
By the way, why not read Microsoft Plans Flickr Competitor [Slashdot]?
