Nick Cancelling Invader Zim
orn writes "Lots of my slashdotting friends turned me on to Invader Zim not so long ago. Well, aintitcool.com is reporting that the show is being cancelled." Now that really sucks. Zim was absolute genius in terms of art, use of CG, and just flat out hilarious writing. I'll miss this one a lot.
Greg is going to be pissed. He really likes the guy who draws it. It's the same guy who does the homicidal maniac apparently.
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!

Slashdot is abusing its unlimited mod points to keep censoring this ENTIRE THREAD!
Even kuro5hin noticed it!
This might be offtopic, but it is important to do something about it!
I implore you, fellow slashdotter, to mod this up so that our voices might be heard, and so that the admins might finally reply to it instead of just shutting down our voices!

I work at Nickelodeon too... in the programming department. I'm a Assistant for Mark Christianesen, Junior VP of programming.
napalm, are you that slightly obese, greasy looking, geeky guy? I think I've seen you in the halls. Could you please leave some doughnuts in the break room for the rest of us? Thanks, some of us don't take our breaks 15 minutes after we get to the office.
By the way, you're so fucking fired.

We the trolls and troll supporters of the proclaimed slashdot democracy will no longer sit quietly while the trolls voices are being silenced by the oppressive slashdot programers. We demand a code change to allow troll supporters to filter messages out their view which are rated HIGHER than a threshold value. As we all know, the ignorant, elitist authors of the slash code have tried to silence the trolls by allowing non-trolls to filter out dissenting opinions based on a majority rules, herd mentality moderating system. This created a system where moderate opinions are swayed by the majority, creating a monopoly of influence. Slashdot readers have formed a two party political system. The parties are the Trolls and the Tacos (named after their prophetic leader, CmdrTaco). When you consider the slashdot community as a political machine, it becomes clear that the Taco's have tried to silence the Trolls with this flawed "democratic" moderating system.
We demand a new message viewing moderation system where the individual user is able to select a political party if she/he desires. The following is a spec for an improved democratic system.
- I as a troll may select TROLLS as my political preference. Then, when I read comments attached to an article, I may set my preferences to view messages moderated LOWER than a chosen value.
- A Taco may select TACO as his/her political preference. When a Taco reads comments, he can choose to view articles moderated ABOVE a chosen value.
- The Independant reader may choose to select INDEPENDANT as his preference. She/he may choose to choose to view the best of each party's comments. The preference setting would be something like
abs(commentRating) >= userThreshold
- Also, some planning should be done to add suport for >2 party system.
To show support for this idea, submit it as a story to slashdot as often as possible, mail it to slashdot editors, and post it to as many slashdot articles as you can.
