Want to read Slashdot from your mobile device? Point it at m. As for "ask[ing] the same uninformed question, over and over" Uhh.. Expect a LOT of uninformed questions.

An evangelist who claims that his God-given calling is to "make America straighter and whiter" is causing anguish on the Undernet , a global affiliation of Internet Relay Chat channels that bills itself as "the friendly network. At least one Undernet operator, whose nick was "Judi," resigned her volunteer post following threats made to her life and that of her 9-year-old daughter after she "reopped" a gay channel disrupted by RevWhite.

Every day, It's become a social network of sorts for geeks, despite the age of the protocol I still find it the least "invasive" and most friendly experience, but that's probably because I spent the time configuring a client that's nice for me. Everyone here is welcome to join us of course, but we put a high emphasis on civility. What I like is that the clients were written years ago and weigh almost nothing. I can leave them running in the background on even the wimpiest trash netbook and it doesn't care.
