Not that the Bluetooth will do anything except interfere with 802.11 wireless networks, but it's an interesting feature to have." Actually, Bluetooth shouldn't interfere with 802.11 except in confusing product marketing, right? Nice to see that at least one printer will actually hit the market with a short-range radio interface instead of wire (inconvenient) or IR (poor interoperability).

  1. Slashdot SUCKS version 1.0 Released Today! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    "A revolutionary new way to bring trolls out of the wood-work!"

    Slashdot launched a new service today. It's called "Systematic Unveiling of Crapy Knowledge Stream", or SUCKS for short. Slashdot SUCKS version 1.0 is intended to bore more of /. readers than any other news system before. By posting stories that have no real relevance or interest to the existing community, /. hopes to increase its already massive contingent of trolls by at least 150%.

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda states that "Slashdot SUCKS is the most obvious next step. The things that our staff can do with SUCKS technology are incredible. We can turn mature individuals to 6 year olds with boring news posts that bring out the trolls deep within. It's really quite exciting." He went on further to state how Slashdot SUCKS would help bring out art skills in /. readers by encouraging them to post ASCII artworks in the forums. "I especially like the Goatse.cx ASCII art images with my name in the anus."

    When asked what the next evolution in Slashdot SUCKS would be, Rob commented briefly on Slashdot Bi-Lingual Oppressive Waste Stream", or BLOWS for short. Although he would not give many details, CmdrTaco informed us that Slashdot BLOWS would deliver even more "garbage" to the whole world, by increasing /.'s support languages beyond English. "Naturally," he finished, "you must SUCK before you can BLOW."
