One Year After September 11

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everybody's-doing-it dept.

One year ago today, at 9:12 eastern, we posted World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked amidst the events of that day. Since Slashdot is really just a discussion site, I felt the most appropriate way to handle this anniversary is to simply do just that. I hadn't read those stories since the day it happened, and I really am at a loss for words. But I'm sure many of you won't be. And thanks to OSDN for turning banner ads off for the day.

    OSDN turned off the banners? I haven't seen a banner ad since I installed junkbuster.

      Right, my comment is off-topic when I reply directly to a statement made in the story.

      It's offtopic because we don't give a flying fuck about you acting all cool because you use junkbuster. Fuck off.

    Hmmm...soo true. Sad but true. Reminds me of a story.

    Was getting gas one day and saw a woman in a Chevy Tahoe, fully decked out with all the options, grill guard on the front, step bars on the side and brush guards on the taillamps.

    One sweet ride to go off roading in. I asked the little soccer mom how does that handle off road.

    She looked at me funny and said "Offroad? Now why would I want to take this off road?"

    Turned out she only got that truck because her neighbors bought one too.

    It's an image ploy. It's kinda like offering "Shindler's List" without commercials a couple of years ago. Everyone thinks they're a nice network...so they're more likely to watch in the future.

    Which network was that again? ;-)

  5. Banner Ads - Why? by jarran · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why exactly have OSDN turned off banner ads? What does it achieve? To me it just seems like OSDN a good way for companies to point out to everyone how caring and symapathetic they are. I.e., not running ads is just a form of self-advertising.

    I believe you're also, truly, a coward for posting this anonymously.

    Grow up, and take some responsibility for your opinions, if you're so all-fired proud of them.

  7. slashdot is slow today... is slashdot to blame? by shren · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is it just me, or did slashdot just slashdot itself when slashdot linked to an old slashdot article? If slashdot had a cacheing mechanism that cached slashdot's articles so slashdot wouldn't hit slashdot so hard, both slashdot and slashdot would come out ahead. Honestly, slashdot should keep the welfare of small sites like slashdot in mind when doing things like this.

    Why is this rated as a troll? The poster corrected his own post...

    Whoever moderated this needs to be dragged out into the street and... whatever, it's not even worth it at this point...

    Think before you moderate, please.
