2.8GHz! Already?

[brejc8]

It was only a few ours that I heard intel were releasing a errrmm.. 2.8GHz chip

Patience

[chill]

Reviews of hardware come from pretty much the same half-dozen review sites every time. How about this idea?

When a review of a "new release" hits one site, wait 24 hours for all of them to release reviews then link it in one article?

You could even time it, considering many of the sites do "previews" that say something along the lines of "the NDA will expire on XX/YY, until then..." Sort of gives you a clue when the full review is coming out.

Jumped the shark

[shird]

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

Redundancy

[fizban]

I can understand if Slashdot needs to flaunt its redundant, fail-proof system of posting, but jeez, we only need to see the redundant systems when the primary ones fail... Stop the double posting, already!

The whole problem here is that Taco doesn't read his own site anymore. He just assumes that whatever he posts coudln't possibly have been put up already by anyone else. If you disagree with me, just look back at all the redundant posts in the past and you'll notice that the second poster is always the supreme leader himself...

Warning: Slashdot karma shortage!

[billbaggins]

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.
