but Saddam by thammoud · 2003-03-20 05:53 · Score: 5, Funny

Dude, I'm using Mozilla 1.3 over Mandrake 9.0 on a HP Pavilion with a P3. I use a MS generic PS2 wheelmouse.

What hardware and software are you running that MAKE you click on a particular story on SlashDot?! You should consider upgrading, or something... Anything that takes away from your freedom of choice or dictates exactly what you must read on a website must be a really, really scary technology.

What the hell do troop movements in the Middle East have to do with "News for Nerds"?

If I want shoddily reported, unsubstantiated rumors about the war, I can go to CNN. I count on Slashdot to give me shoddily reported, unsubstantiated rumors about technology.
