A High-School Hacker's Notebook

And one guy did the music, and one guy made the levels, and you wrote it all down in a notebook? Well, just in case you lost it, here's that notebook."

    As usual. Never understimate the power of .\

  2. Suggestion to help SLASHDOT EFFECT by glh · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    I think slashdot could help everyone out by doing the following.

    1. Any time an article is submitted that refers to a non-news site (such as the one in this story), slashdot should automatically pull a copy of the page/story and put it somewhere in a temporary cache. The story would automatically generate the "slashdot cache" link and content when the article is posted.

    2. The temporary cache that these web pages are pulled into only exist for the stories that are on the front page (or perhaps a day). After that specified time, the cache is flushed.

    This code would be VERY simple to write. All it is is a simple screen scrape! A list of sites to not cache (such as yahoo news, cnn, etc.) could be kept in a simple text file.

    Despite copyright laws, I think people that have sites that can't handle a slashdot load would prefer a copy of their content on slashdot as opposed to an effective DDOS. Both readers and site owners would be MUCH HAPPIER.

    Just my 2c. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! IT IS VERY ANNOYING, ALMOST AS ANNOYING AS WHEN SOMEONE TYPES IN ALL CAPS.

    I beat Sega to Sonic the Hedgehog by about two years. The game was called Hedgehogger, he was brown (not blue) and the big boss was an Owl.

    Well, thanks professor. I have always enjoyed posting trolls and some good comments, hence my karma remained around 30-40 for some time. Then, slashdot got gayer and gayer, until now it is at the point where I read it maybe once a week. When I do post it is to post shit maybe 9 times out of ten.

    As for my sig, bearing in mind that my 30-40 karma is now due to go negative after this post, maybe, just maybe my post lamenting my lack of 26 karma is a little disingenuous? Maybe my use of the words 'plz' and 'kthx' should hint that sincerity is not at the forefront of my agenda?

    I don't really care about my karma other than hopefully keeping enough to avoid the 2 post per day rule (thanks Taco for showing your trust in moderation by bypassing it)

    Incidentally, as a fun experiment to play with /. moderation, I suggest you try the following: post some insightful comments and see the occasional one get modded to three. Now post a lame ass joke, and watch it rocket to 5. Karma is easy to get by anyone who is willing to play the game. I'm not playing the game, Slashdot is dying.

    Really, take a look around. How shit are the stories? How one sided are all the comments? The only arguments you see now on /. are whether MySQL or Postgres is the better DB. The rest is self congratulatory circle jerking "Oooh, sticking that sticker on your case is a great case mod! I'm so glad you posted it to Slashdot."

    PS. Postgres is better.
