Easter Eggs in Web Sites?

cwikla asks: "Back in the .COM days, I worked at eGroups, now owned by a larger Company. During my time I added a couple of easter eggs to the site, which I was reminded of while watching Being John Malkovich this weekend. I checked, and ones sort of still there. If you append malkovich=1 to a message URL it would turn the message into 'malkovich' mode. It sort of still works, but over time I guess the code has been a changin' so it's kind of spotty. Oh, there are others that still are in there, but where's the fun of telling all the secrets? Any other folks done anything equivalent, especially on mainstream sites?"

Slashdot's full of zealots for every operating system under the sun I think. I even got modded down as a troll once for saying windows98 was unstable.

not really an easter egg but...

after each job i leave i like to take something with me - like whne i left kinkos i took an 8gig external scsi drive and a usb zip drive.

when i go into frys or compusa i like to delete the windows program files folder - and then watch someone try and show a customer the computer.

Hey what happens when you get moded up or down what is the point of that. And scores what makes something get a high score or low score and what is the point of messages having a score? I would like to know if somebody has this info.

I think Katz was on NPR this morning talking about all these big corporations who buy up media companies and how they can't move fast enough to make this succeed. I didn't notice the name until they said "so and so writes for Slashdot dot org" and vaguely remembered her saying "Jonathon Katz."

Perhaps he talks about this appearance on /., but since I am one of the 90% who filters him out, I wouldn't know.

Strangely enough, I agree with what he was saying.
