Even though my politics is diametrically opposite everyone who seems to

log in here? ;)

Not sure what you mean by that, since we seem to pretty much run the gamut of political backgrounds. About the only thing we all agree on is that there's someone else here who's completely WRONG! :)

And we sort of have an understanding that if you're not into heated political arguments then you should zap the politics room.

Outside of there, we're all pretty chummy.

I'm never wrong. ;D

Yeah, I've already zapped rooms that have incendiary effects on me. (One of the nicest features of Citadel, frankly.)

So ... in the news today, it seems that Facebook has committed a cold blooded murder.

I call for the summary execution of the entire senior management of Facebook, and the immediate shutdown of the service.

Facebook said it was fake news.

Umm...that wasn't supposed to happen. As I originally tried to say, ...

Gah-dang-it! I just applied there!

Hey ... remember Slashdot? They're still around. Not sure why. Kind of like Radio Shack I guess.

Way back in the early days of the internet a co-worker thought it would be clever to register the domain name www.dot.com because he thought it would be funny to say to people double-u, double-u, double-u, dot, dot, dot, com.

Why that memory just came back to me I am not sure.

I have a friend who registered ontheinter.net. I expect he still has it, although I'm not sure.

Oh, a quick whois reveals to me that he is indeed still the owner.

Good for him.

4-digit /. UID here. If I'd bet on it, I would have assumed Slashdot would go the way of the dodo before Sourceforge.

My cell phone is nearly useless as a device to use to receive calls now.

Someone named Sandi (with an I) has put my phone number on fucking everything, and now I am relentlessly pursued by spammers.

I really want to find this person and destroy her.

I've had this number for over 10 years, only to be fucking destroyed by this asshole. How I'd like to strap her to a chair and answer *every* *fucking* *call*.

Seven calls yesterday. Six calls the day before that. Five calls the day before that. I'm already four calls in today, and it isn't even noon yet.

I should start answering my phone using a voice similar to that of Peter Lorre.

"Yes? Who is this? Why don't you come to my home for tea?"

fleeb - the fact that it's taken 10 years to happen is incredible.

Slashdot *is* SourceForge, last I checked, run by the same people? Anyway, I've got a 4-digit UID as well. Once in a blue moon I pop in and post something random just to keep it alive.

A friend of mine took care of crank callers by answering the phone, "Utica Police Department, sergeant <made up name> speaking." They usually hung up pretty quick.

Personally, I get a ton of phone calls from Mexico (of all places). It's gotten bad enough that I set my phone to silent *except* if I *know* ahead of time that someone will *try* to call. When I was interviewing, I absolutely required my prospective employers to give me the area codes that they were going to call from, so that I could filter them out from the noise.

The only possibly good thing that comes out of this is how it impacts salespeople.

Salespeople have to take the calls they don't know on the odd chance it's a sale. Since their brethren are kind of responsible for creating this mess, it feels just that they have to endure this very special form of hell made just for them.
