One Year After September 11

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.

Banners?

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.

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? ;-)

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.

slashdot is slow today... is slashdot to blame?

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.
