Slashdot Mirror
What Types of Jobs are Best Suited for Telecommuters?
upwardlyAndconstantly-Mobile asks: "I'm a systems engineer in the IT department of a bank. My wife is a PhD candidate looking to graduate in 4 years or so. Due to the nature of academia, she may need to move several times for post-docs and professor jobs once she gets her credentials. Her job opportunities may come from any number of cities or towns in the US or around the world. My current skill set ties me to only a handful of major cities, so I am trying to figure out the best path to prepare myself for being uprooted. Besides running something like Slashdot, what are the best tech jobs that are mobile? How many people have jobs that can actually be done from anywhere they can get email and web access? What's the best way to prepare for something like this? I have time to prepare, but what should I be doing? (I write this anonymously because I don't want my current employer reading it!)"
seriously... go see it right now, while it's still up... here
Do slashdotters enjoy showering with their classmates in school after gym class, and exposing their privates?
Speaking of which... whatever happened to Jon Katz?
I just saw an ad for tigerdirect on Slashdot. Yes, the scam artist company with the horrible BBB rating and the FTC investigation against them. It is highly irresponsible for Slashdot to show these ads. I warn all Slashdotters, do not order from tigerdirect
A quick google search
One of the worst ratings on resellerratings.com
Tigerdirect also is apparently a frequent user of spam marketing.
So what's next Slashdot? Alex Chiu life rings?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.

GO GO GO !!

The key to using a pun in a humorous manner is to let the reader catch it at their own pace. You can't worry that someone isn't going to get your joke. There are thousands of readers here, a few of them will get it, and those few are the ones you are trying to get to laugh.
When you use a pun, just lay it out there. A couple days ago there was a story about employers spying on Hotmail. Someone asked whether the next step would be employers spying in the bathrooms. The response that got modded up the highest said that employers aren't going to keep logs. Did you get the pun? Great! Trust that your audience will get yours.
This goes with any joke. The key is to downplay the punchline.
Let's try another one.
I heard that Jeff Bezos and Michael Jackson are related.
Yeah, one peddles to bibliophiles. The other owns the copyright to all the Beatles music.
