Oh well, I'm off to kuro5hin.org, which doesn't suck yet.
Slashdot's idea of an April Fool's prank is so bad that Anonymous Coward is leaving? I never thought I'd see the day.
I'm going to miss him... I swear, he posts on every topic on here, and not just once, but like 178 times. Some of his posts are funny, some of them are insightful, but some of them just seem like lame troll attempts. He's kooky in an all-over-the-map kind of way.
I'm sorry to see you go, AC.

It's one day in a year, people. Let the guys have some fun. Personally, I appreciate it when I see people in public positions act like REAL PEOPLE. A few weeks ago, for instance,. the local newscasters on the ABC affiliate in my area changed the way they report news, ever so slightly, in that they stopped reading straight from the teleprompter and started acting REAL, for once. I actually enjoy watching the news now. Anyone who gets all worked up about a little prank here and there (regardless of whether YOU think it was funny or not) should be taken outside and smacked around a little.
Keep on "keeping it real," Slashdot. I, and many others like me I'm sure, will keep reading until Slashdot becomes all business, quoting press releases instead of providing personal takes on the news. It's nice to see a group of people that hasn't sold out like that yet.
just my thoughts anyways

ENOUGH dammit, or I start singing VOGON POETRY!
The Computer Museum History Center, located at Moffett Field in Mountain View, is presenting a talk entitled "Beowulf-Class PC Clusters: An Historical Perspective" given by Thomas Sterling, leader of the NASA team that created the first Beowulf cluster and co-author of How to Build a Beowulf. The talk will take place in the evening of April 13. RSVP by April 10. All of the Computer Museum History Center events that I've been to have been very good.
