Slashdot Mirror

No doubt this is funny as hell! MS tries to bash UNIX and uses a unix variant. Then they try to fix that goof and only manage to prove that their own stuff is crap.

I'm just glad I only use Microsloth products at work and can use this brand new OS I found: WheatoniX OS!

No personal stories, but ThinkGeek was in pretty good form today...

In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here.

Hmm. Okay, maybe I can handle this.

Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!.

Come on. Don't just paste the ad copy into the story. Make it sound interesting.

Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled.

Okay, that's bullshit. Slashdot is NOT Slashdot without ACs and the ability to post anonymously. Lots of good information has been posted anonymously, including people posting information we find really interesting that could cost them their job.

If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.

Slashdot has now completely sold out. Period.

No ACs, and advertisements mixed in with real articles. Without even so much as an "Advertisement" icon (or, therefore, a way to filter them out).

Rusty, I'm coming back. Sorry for ever doubting you.

First he creates his own operating system, now this...
He must be very busy...

Don't worry, he's there. As a matter of fact, he just wrote his own operating system. Dubbed "Wheatonix," it will be the future for operating systems, and even has one game available for it already, Duke Nukem Forever (certainly took FOREVER, didn't it?).

DAMN IT!!

HA!
Gotcha! April Fools, silly monkey!

I really wanted glow in the dark beer (oh, and Boba Fett's helmet too...). Damn them.

I completely agree. call it selling out, but I think working for the SS, FBI, or CIA would be a kickass job. Sure you'd have to "straighten up," but there's job security, and you'd be ~in the know~.
Think about all the gov't secrets you'd have access to!
First time I got to meet the president, I'd go into work wearing this shirt.

Make sure you don't use the monitor in a darkened room often, that'll cause you problems,

You mean this?

In recent news..

Microsoft will be promoting themselves by purchasing the poster line by Despair, Inc from think geek.

I think the words of the immortal Thinkgeek can pretty much sum up the /. reader's attitudes towards 90% of senators.

"Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script"

Pfff...
You can't make open-source software that is free as in Coca-cola, since it is closed, contrary to beer, whose making process is well known...
Now, OpenCola is the solution to your beer problems...

Katz will be replaced with a very small shell script.

; )

Thinkgeek fucking sucks.

Their prices are outrageous.....I mean look at this! WHAT A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! WHO THE HELL WOULD PAY $35 (plus s/h) FOR IT?!

Also, their t-shirts are lame!!

chmod -R linux:users /world?? HOW FUCKING LAME

Who the hell wants to wear a t-shirt that says "LAN PARTY" on it?!

Or "bow before me, for I am root." WHO THE HELL THINKS THAT IS FUNNY????

Why the fuck would I want to buy a plain black t-shirt for 15 fucking bucks (plus s/h) that says "127.0.0.1" on it??? Just fucking to to walmart and buy a plain fucking black t-shirt!!

In conclusion, ThinkGeek is for "31337 k1dd135" and other idiots.

Where do the Slashdot Gladiators fit in? Arch nemesis? GNUperFriends wanna be's (a la Mystery Men)??

Sheesh, don't you hate these new ads on Slashdot? :-P

Not to mention that every Tom, Dick and Stupid is begging for help as soon as they hear that you know computers. Strangers at the bar will ask for help. That's why I wear this shirt

There are other /. things spread around on Thinkgeek, since a few of the links from the page above are 404-ed. Personally, I'd buy more stuff from them, but their shipping charges and times are really bad for the UK, so I don't...

This is what Bill Gates need : Don't blame me...

Ahh, the attitude of the typical RMS-worshipping CS student. Might want to take a few minutes to wash out those pizza stains from your ThinkGeek T-Shirt.

By the way, MS-Word supplies three synonyms for monopoly: domination, control, and cartel. Enjoy.

You've apparently also forgotten the judgement against Mickeysoft...

By the way, just wanted to say that makes you look really dignified. Wow, what a public speaker we have here. He can twist "Microsoft" into random words. Hoo-boy, a real genius here.

Sometimes I just wish I had an expense account at ThinkGeek so I could send people RTFM T-Shirts.

"Boy, I sure like Emacs, but this new-fangled GUI stuff is a bit too confusing!"

Not Stupid Steve. Stupid User (Most of the Time)

Let's be real, have you ever really clicked on any Slashdot ad with the exception of ThinkGeek ads?

thinkgeek sells little mini "desk rovers" like these, which look too damn cool.

...so why would you do that?

...so why would you do that?

nor would i consider them stunningly pretty.
I don't know about you, but I find I just can't administer a network without some real stunningly pretty pictures of my topology.
Or at least a thinkgeek internet poster.

but will at least reduce its impact : by choosing to invest in smaller computers using low-consumption chips, this will reduce the amount of wastes.
Just imagine such a beowulf cluster of these.
Now an interesting comparison could be made with cars...
In the sixties, everybody dreamed of a cadillac or a pick up.
Now, they'd rather look for smaller cars.
I think wearable computer or power-palmtops spreadth will clearly result from such pollution problem.

When is the poster coming out?

Soon you'll be needing to stock up on that ThinkGeek baby-wear!

I know that I cried when my slashdot love proposed to me....

The only days that will be happier than that are our wedding day, and anytime a 'child process' is spawned in the future :)

So where are you registered? Thinkgeek?

Whatever happened to making your own Valentines? I'm a geekette and have been creating my own Valentines from scratch for years. Anyways, most guys prefer home baked mushroom clouds (from the Fallout manual) or chocolate éclairs or handmade cards to the store bought variety. I have friends who have kept my valentines cards for years! Geeks ought not to buy cards because they are creative people and can produce much better things with Photoshop or Bryce or whatever else. If you make a card, it shows the girl that you really care and are willing to put effort into things.
Enough of my rambling; what I want for Valentine's Day is the shirt from ThinkGeek that says, "I Love My Geek."
