Wearable Computer Expedition Reaches South Pole
henrym writes: "Tom and Tina Sjogren have reached the South Pole after skiing in for two months wearing portable computers. Their web site hasn't been updated to reflect this fact, but our station manager has just come back from greeting them as they reached the pole. Details of their expedition can be found at thepoles.com. Henry Malmgren, South Pole Station Network Engineer" It's not every day we get a story submission from the South Pole.
Henry Malmgren, Naked and petrified!
The average Joe Q Slashdot reader may read slashdot at -1. He, rightly so,
thinks some -1 is underrated and actually some of it is very good stuff.
However, he gets quickly annoyed by the -1 page widenings and simply moves his
threshold to 0 or 1. So now you have all the regular "good citizens of
slashdot" reading slashdot at higher thresholds. So nobody is reading at -1.
Now, Crap Flounderson says his intention is to destroy slashdot. However, it's
obvious his attention is just to flaunt his own ego(much like the numerous
linux zealots) because page widening no longer works(as everyone has found the
workaround to go to a higher threshold).
That would be fine if it weren't for the fact that page widening is having an
ADVERSE affect to the time honored art of trolling. Trolls post at -1 to be
seen. If noone sees their work, trolls get bored with slashdot. So what page
widening is essentially doing, is running off the trolls. And this is why it
won't be fixed. CmdrTaco wins. The trolls have run off, and all the
"upstanding" citizens of slashdot are reading and posting at higher
thresholds. This is hardly contributing to the destruction of slashdot.
security through obscurity = modding down anti-linux posts so maybe noone will see them
This type of behavior is soooo predictable of M$, the world's most GREEDY, and ARROGANT monopoly. I would not be the least bit surprised if M$ adds some propreitary code to the South Pole in an effort to "embrace & extend" its technology, in a naked and greedy attempt to make it their own. This arrogant monopoly must be broken up, NOW!
This type of behavior is sooo predictable of a linux zealot. The world's most STUPID and ARROGANT fool. I would not be the least bit suprised if you withdraw to your little hole to play with your linux porn some more as you "embrace and extend" yourself in a naked and idiotic attempt to make it your own. You must be stopped. Now!

Yo, you wanna go? Keep it up. I'll meet you anywhere you want, for a good old fashioned fistfight. Just be ready to have your a-- handed to you.
