Slashdot Mirror
A High-School Hacker's Notebook
An anonymous reader writes: "Remember those high-school lunchtimes, back in the day, when you and your computer-nerd friends would hang out by the Krunch Korral, discussing that cool computer game that you were all going to write? 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."
1. Do not touch or attempt to touch a UFO that has landed. Passing through the Earth's atmosphere the skin of the craft will be hot.
There is also a possibility of radiation. There is also a chance of steam being produced from the heated hull at the landing site.
2. Do not stand under a hovering UFO at low altitude. There is a possibility of radiation danger.
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ALIENS if they appear, any movement on your part may constitute an act of aggression. If possible, back away VERY slowly. Make no gestures what so ever.
4. If possible note the time and take a photograph if possible. Note the shape and size of the craft, use nearby objects for a size comparison.
5. Do not touch any artifact from an alien spacecraft, the artifact may be dangerous, leave this to the authorites.
6. Get away from the area QUICKLY. Inform the local authorites or the military.
As usual. Never understimate the power of .\
when will slashdot editors learn?
fags!
No it can't. All the page says is

Dont get very far without a proper HTML tag!
and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
How long did it take you to think up the title "Linux SUXOR" though? I mean, that must have taken you seconds of thought!
Already slashdotted!
I think it got hacked by trolls. :(
It seems to be fixed now.
Yea, phuck you punk. My anit-poop filter caught your pop-up shit! Hehehehe no kiss my ass you little bitch.
what a prize muppet you are
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.
And there is a constructive or interesting point to this story where?? This story reminds me of television networks creating uberlame shows with practically no budget just so they'll have at least something to show other than re-runs of M*A*S*H.
If Slashdot really has nothing interesting to post, could we try a different tactic and just not post a story until further notice??? It's not like it's a requirement that you put up a story every 20 minutes regardless of it's bogosity.
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.
yhbt, muppet. Did the sourceforge reference make you click it?
HOW DO YOU LIKE IT!

M*A*S*H is great.
Teaches you something about using IE, eh?
_sig_ is away
The page crashes IE, but funnily enough, isn't a problem at all in Mozilla.
So, uh, yeah, dang us Linux Hippies who have a browser which doesn't crash! We suck!
HOW DO U LEIK THEMS APPELS!
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT MOFOS if they appear, any movement on your part may constitute an act of goatsex-ion. If possible, rub your back VERY slowly. Make no suggestive gestures what so ever.
I know. It's just like ignoring a park ranger warn you about bears because he was "offtopic"!
Maybe we should cover up FIRE EXIT signs because they're "offtopic" too!
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.
