Wake up yourself.

Okay:

1. Slashdot discusses new search appliance

2. Lord of the Rings has been nominated for 13 academy awards, tied for 2nd all time. Not only is it a movie, but a series of novels that's just a bit popular with the computer crowd.

P.S.

Moderation motivated by your disagreement with the poster's opinion IS censorship.

Enought of this already.

Too fscking many "N whatevers to xxxx them all" Slashdot headlines to rule them all!

It's an ingenious book and a great movie, please don't ruin it my making it a big cliché, in the land of Redmond where shadows lie.

Re:Fact: Moulin Rouge better than LotR

You'll never get anywhere calling slashdot \. . It makes it too obvious that you work at a Windoze terminal. Heh

Well being broadcasted on local tv gives it enough credebility (sp?). Anyway, it would be ironic to give Bush and his buddy Blair the peace prize ... and the end of humanity as we know it.

Mind my spelling, since I am a foreign student :)

1700 Post Commemorative!

Reality Master 101, Congratulations. You have posted to Slashdot 1700 times. If you had created your account the day Slashdot opened (you didn't) and posted one comment every single day of your life since then, you wouldn't even be close to 1700 posts. Truly, you've been a busy boy. If you spent five minutes apiece writing whatever it is you write, that would mean you've spent over 140 hours composing Slashdot comments. I'll assume you're a young man, and offer you a question:

When you're lying in your deathbed, dying of cancer, are you going to look back on those 140 man-hours of staring into a computer monitor shooting off your mouth like a complete asshole as time well spent?

That's some Reality I'd actually be interested in.

Thank You.

Reality Master 101, Congratulations. You have posted to Slashdot 1700 times.

Actually, I used to post under my own name, until I got tired of trolls attacking my computer. That account was around 90,000 and had 420 posts before I retired it. That makes this post number 2128. Of course, that doesn't include any of the numerous AC posts I do now and then. :)

I think and type pretty fast. That average is probably high, but again, there were a lot more posts.

I'll assume you're a young man, and offer you a question:

I'm 37, so whether I'm young or not depends on your relative age.

When you're lying in your deathbed, dying of cancer,

I should mention that my superior genetics favor a very long lifespan. All of my grandparents lived well into their 90s. In fact, many doctors have remarked that many of my physical attributes are among the best they've seen. For example, one doctor said my lung capacity was second only to an olympic swimmer he had tested. In the interest of full disclosure, however, I have to admit my looks are only average. :)

... are you going to look back on those 140 man-hours of staring into a computer monitor shooting off your mouth like ...

I consider it my duty and responsibility to give the world the benefits of my intelligence and wisdom. If at the end of my life I have done my part to make the world a better place, then it was time well spent.

Besides, it's fun. :)

...a complete asshole as time well spent?

If I didn't piss people off once in a while, then I would know I wasn't doing my job.
