CAMPINAS, Brazil — On the night of March 8, cruising 22,000 miles above the Earth, U.S. Navy communications satellite FLTSAT-8 suddenly erupted with illicit activity. Jubilant voices and anthems crowded the channel on a junkyard's worth of homemade gear from across vast and silent stretches of the Amazon: Ronaldo, a Brazilian soccer idol, had just scored his first goal with the Corinthians.

And although the typical slashdotter has no clue what any of this stuff is, that doesn't keep them from making loads of stupid comments.

I'd say the quality of Slashdot has gone way down over the years. Still, you deserve congratulations for making that submission. Now, if only the quality of the discussion on /. were as good as it is here...

;-)
