  2. Jumped the shark by shird · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot jumped the shark when;

    (a) When they switched to a "pay for no ads" service
    (b) When they posted a dupe story within a six hour period
    (c) When they started displaying those huge ads
    (d) When they started showing MS ads in those banners

  13. grousing about duplicate stories by circletimessquare · · Score: 3, Funny

    c'mon folks, this info is important...
    i mean, just look at the kind of info we get from page 5 of the linked review:

    The video card is still throttling the higher resolutions...
    blah blah blah...
    We are also nearing 300 frames per second at the lowest resolutions...
    blah blah blah, wait for it, because the paragraph ends...
    meaning that the Pentium 4 running at 2.8Ghz is really fast.

    i mean c'mon folks, could you make it through the day without this kind of insightful, probing journalism?

    i expect this kind of devastating information to be important to us on slashdot! ;-P

  16. Warning: Slashdot karma shortage! by billbaggins · · Score: 5, Funny
    SLASHDOT (AP) -- In response to what is being described as a "severe shortage" in the global karma pool, CmdrTaco and other Slashdot administrators are taking the unprecedented step of deliberately posting duplicate, pointless, and just-plain-stupid stories, with a goal of encouraging slashdotizens to increase their output of "Redundant", "Flamebait", and "Troll" posts.

    "It's about all we can do right now," CmdrTaco said in an interview Monday morning. "We're hoping to get a new shipment of karma in within the next few days, but until then we're gonna have to just keep posting trollbait." Mr. Taco refused to comment on rumors that the low-quality postings were in any way related to the recent spate of coffee-machine breakdowns at slashdot.

    Stay tuned for further developments.

  18. Unanticipated Side Effect by fhqwhgads · · Score: 2, Funny

    This just in...

    Sources are reporting that a recent attempt to slow the depletion of the karma pool at Slashdot have proven unsuccessful. Internal audits leaked to this station have revealed that, in fact, karma utilization has risen in the past hours.

    One person close to the Slashdot team has stated: "We thought that the moderators would realize that the posts would be perfect fodder for modding down. Unfortunately, we were wrong."

    In addition to many people modding comments highlighting the duplicate postings up, there have been unconfirmed reports of cross-posting of ideas getting modded up. If these reports are true, it is still to be seen whether this represents a duplication of ideas or an intentional abuse of the system.
