Sony Announces Superslim T415

You need to get laid.
I just heard some good news from a manager friend of mine at va linux.
Rumor has it, they finally realize what a mess slashcode is, and instead of
spending an infinite number of mythical man-hours trying to fix it, they've
purchased closed-source web-log software and a real database system to go
along with it. They're also switching to new servers. Either RS6000/AIX or
Sun/Solaris. There was even brief talk of using NT Advanced server with
clustering, but nidma pretty much squelched that.
The slashcode development team is getting laid off, as well as most of the
"sysadmins" (who didn't do anything besides reboot the servers twice a day).
The database and weblog vendor will be providing uptime and load performance
guarantees. the CmdrTaco, Hemos, etc. will still be around, but VA Linux has
the right to prevent certain slashdot items from being posted, so you won't
see this on the frontpage anytime soon.
Migration is currently ongoing, and there should be a "power outtage" before
next year when the new system is used.
Even thought this repudiates Open Source software, maybe it's best. We've
all seen formkeys problems, static pages, and the lameness filter that
prevents good comments but lets in ascii goatse.cx art. The new system
should hold up better under heavy loads, and include more intelligent troll
filtering.

The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred last month, and now we're involved in a WAR and you people have the gall to be discussing Sony's new mid-range handheld???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about Sony's new mid-range handheld, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!
You people disgust me!
The ladies call my dick "Slim Jim". It is very long and slim. When I poke them, I poke them where they never have been poked before. More than once I've heard them say, "I love you, Slim Jim".
