ThinkGeek has opened up their Slashdot Store, which among other fineries, is selling the all new Slashdot T-Shirts. We also have a surprise: In addition to the 3 winners we announced previously, by popular request, we added a 4th winner to the roster: Dan Sandler's 'Soothing Green Light' design. So go, buy all 4! And a hat! Do it! Also, Scott Lewallen made Icons & Wallpapers based on his Volatile Hyper Linkage design.
Advertising! I could hardly wait!
I ordered 1 large "Volatile Hyperlinkage" shirt. Airborne Express 2-day. w00t!
Homestarrunner.net -- It's Dot Com!
These shirts are neither free as in beer, nor free as in speech. Slashdot owns the new logos/designs, and YOU can't use them without their permission. Yay copyright!
We added a 5th winner by popular demand! It's the *people's* choice!FP!
so I know who the slackasses are around here
bite my glorious golden ass.
If I buy a tshirt does get rid of the banner ads on my slashdot account?
You don't have XXXXX-Large? You insensitive clods.
no.
does one of the shirts say, "just imagine a beowulf cluster of these shirts!"
or how about, "can your shirt run linux?"
As if I already can't do any work around here anyway without pausing to check on /. no I can wear it. Now if only we can make it update itself with the latest headlines...
I, for one, welcome our new Slashdot T-Shirt Wearing Overlords.
I predict the XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL shirts will sell out first.
Maybe there should be a Slashdot bib for all that Dorito/Chee-to dust.

What if I'm so goth, I'm dead? Where's my black-on-black version of that shirt? :) I must say, that is a pretty nice logo.

Wooohooo now people will know without a doubt that i'm a complete loser that has a permenent ass grove in my computer chair, no girls in my life, and jack off atleast 5 times a day.
Talk about ruining your chances of EVER getting laid...
But couldn't they have selected a shirt with a non-pretentious slogan? All of these are a little too much like "Can't live without Dasani". I mean "mainline geek culture" and "volatile hyperlinkage"?
What's wrong with a plain white T-shirt with the slashdot logo and "News for Nerds, stuff that matters" on the back?
Okay, can't ever seem to Slashdot Slashdot itself.
But, maybe, if we try really hard, we can Slashdot the Slashdot T-Shirts about Slashdotting

As a Subscriber I got my order in before the unwashed masses! Booya!
Wait... that means I paid money for the privilege of being one of the first to pay more money. Go me.
Do you have any SCO bashing stuff available? I would order it in a heartbeat!
Oh, wait, that would be Defcon. =/
Since getting laid off in April.
Ive been wearing this when ever I leave the house, Yes I own several and wash them regularily
moo.
Why would any geek buy all four? Doesn't one t-shirt last a lifetime?
And what's the deal with the "Mainline Geek Culture" t-shirt being only available in white? How the hell is that going to hide the pizza and jolt stains?

I noticed that the hypodermic needle design actually was changed to RJ-45; some were complaining that the RJ-11 design didn't make sense. Any respectable Slashdotter would have an Ethernet port installed, not a modem line!

... and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Mac and Windows icons, but nothing for *nix users to convert to a suitable format? "Slashdot, no longer news, just pandering to the ignorant."
That's okay. Your shirt will look very stylish on me.

I wonder if this means Slashdot's going to change their look to match the snazzy OSX-style "Volatile Hyperlinkage" design. Might be a nice change.
"Yeah, well, Dracula called and he's coming over tonight for you and I said okay."
this goes over just slightly better than the slashdot PeeWee cruiser idea, and thinkgeek holds on for a long time to the 10,000 they thought they would move to every slashbot on the net...
errr....umm...*whooosh* *whoosh* Is this thing on ?
That the dot.com boom and bust has come and gone, you still need REAL MONEY to pay for things geeks like such as computers and internet access and that in order to make money you need a better business plan then "Lets just give away the fruits of our labor and hope our product sucks badly enough that our customers will need to hire a lot of support services from us!"
Yay mature individuals who realize money doesn't grow on trees!

...but it's being eaten...by some...Linux or something...
I just clicked on an article and was treated to a bunch of offensive pap and mindless, sophomoric "wordsmithing", that... Wait, it's the article threads. My mistake. Easy to make on today's /., you must admit...
They come with a big Microsoft ad at the top of the shirt?
Nothing cool about that. *shake*

One Question, Is the shirt made in USA? I Can't seem to find out on the Website
wanted: one clever sig,apply within
"Slashdot the FLAME THROWER! The kids love this one."
-=-This sig brought to you by The Cheat; and by Viewers Like You.-=-
The only way to be a nerd these days is to be self-proclaimed, which basically is just a way to claim "I'm elite and intelligent and you are mainstream." In reality there is nothing unique about someone simply because they read Slashdot and know how to use a computer.
...but no friggin' Linux icons!
What is this?
We demand Linux Icons Now!!!
If you ignore the other uses of a tool, does that make the tool less useful, or you less useful?
Okay Rob, we can't have /. meta stories about broken moderation, bitch slapping, and abusive editors, but we can have meta stories about selling t-shirts? Way to keep it real. You da man.

Damn!!! New geekwear and here I am flat broke after buying that SCO license.
it's nice to see this was upgraded to rj45

I can't believe that these guys can do this! geez, have they no business morals? what next, Rob will post he is selling used cars on slashdot?
:-)
by the way, I am looking for a job. please contact me if you need a unix sysadmin.

...can we have that on a shirt? Go on!
Reminds me of the design I should have submitted.

1. No sig. 2. ???? 3. Profit!!!
This will make it easier to identify who needs an ass kicking.
Suit up, you freaks.
I buy !
I recall it as a logo that sites could put on their front page as a promotion of their status as victims of the /. effect
"It is a greater offense to steal men's labor, than their clothes"
So far one has been ordered. The guy wouldn't give us his name, he just went by the the initials "RMS."
Insert offensive troll-style sig here. Please mod or respond appropriately.
For a lot of the geeks I know, where the heck are the XS and XXS sizes?
Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
Nice troll, OK I'll bite:
/. merchandise in bulk then I think it's reasonable that any trademark owner can have the option of not allowing others to profit from that trademark.
I'm pretty sure the slashdot crew wouldn't care if random individuals created their own stickers, wallpapers, themes, and t-shirts, but if you start selling your own
In some parallel universe if Microsoft put the GNU logo on all of their packaging would you not support GNU's right to enforce that Microsoft remove that mark from their packaging, and if so then that is an assertion of the onwership of logos and trademarks. See, works either way.

The best part is that if you were a Slashdot subscriber, you could've seen this story early!
Carthago delenda est!
I'd love to get a polo type shirt with the ./ logo on it - I could wear it to work! :)
Couldn't help but notice the default shirt size of XL. ThinkGeek knows its target audience, I suppose...
So for those who are /. subscribers, will they see the next design of he t-shirt before everyone else?
Karma stuck at 50? Add 2-5 inches.. err.. 2-5x Karmas Count to your pen1es.. err.. Karma all naturally and private
Would it hurt to have something other than t-shirts? I have so many friggin' t-shirts but I could sure use some long-sleeves or sweatshirts or something...

and I can't find the delivery option for my Moms basement. Now I'll never get my shirt.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?

their criticisms are somewhat valid but I expected a little more solidarity from fellow tech-boom fallouts.
Er...that's the joke, dimwit. *slap*
You moderators can't handle the truth!
I'm French. I steal everything anyways.
2. Sell T-shirts!
What makes you think I would buy clothing from /. ;p And not like I want people to know how deep-rooted my addiction is.

U, great... thinkgeek...
Has anyone tried to order something from thinkgeek and get them to send it to Slovenia?
I was actually looking forward to these t-shirts... Oh well...
Forget about paypal also when living in Slovenia
Dammit, put the logos on the BACK of the shirt! And just a /. over the breast (oooh I said BREAST). Pocket tees would be even better. Shirts with crap only on the front are SOOO 70's! Arrrgghhh!
Does anyone know of a UK store that maybe imports and re-sells ThinkGeek stuff such as these t-shirts?
Failing that, any online stores that simply stock similar "geek stuff"?
I'd love a slashdot t-shirt (and a few megatokyo t-shirts for that matter) but just not quite enough to justify the import costs.
Shirts with crap only on the front are SOOO 70's!
... I shop at The Gap so that wouldn't fly!
Actually shirts such as this are back in style now. Just visit The Gap or Old Navy and witness it for yourself.
I could insert a joke here about how Slashdotters don't shop at The Gap but

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. We were asked to vote for T-shirt designs and now we're being notified that the shirts are available for purchase. I, for one, would not have otherwise known had it not been posted.

No, they're outsourced to India.
Handheld sales must be down today.
I need a 1600x1200 for my laptop.
I know I can just stretch the current versions, but that introduces jagged edges which ruins the cool shiney effect.
Anybody able to generate one from the source?
-Thanks
More than that, much as I want to like and buy them, they are just soooo lame as in donkey. And these were the best out of how many design entries? Good grief. I'm going to have to give the T-shirts "-1, Overrated"
These T-shirts are overpriced ! I've worked in the clothing industry and if slashdot.org is spending more than $7.50 ( inclusive of production, shipping, duties, storage costs ) they are being ripped off. They are selling for close to 15 bucks and in my opinion a 100% margin seems a bit too high for an open source developed T-shirt.
Another thing due to popular demand:

Old design
New design
They changed it from modem to LAN.
I know you were joking, but I want my Karma, so I'm going to reiterate your post in a serious tone.
Let's see if any of you wannabes can figure out what's wrong with this picture.
Hints to follow.
during high school, the majority of us were trying to NOT get beat up by the jock, or try as much as possible to not be recognized as a geek. (the latter was foiled by our not-so-keen fashion sense)
now you want us to be a WALKING geek poster crowd?
uhh, OK
(no, serious)

I expected to see slashdot t-shirt about

People wear shit like this? No wonder you can't get jobs. I wouldn't hire social rejects either, I'd rather have a technically mediocre employee with social skills than a technically excellent drooling fucking retard.
What about some baby tees for the female slashdot crowd?
So the t-shirts come with BO included? This will save me the trouble of not put on deodorant on the first day i wear my made in india t-shirt!!!
And let me add, I've never seen a larger collection of funny posts in my life. I laughed so hard at some of these, I've pissed my ergo chair.
but cloth prefers to cost money.

Manipulate the moderator system! Mod someone as "overrated" today.
Just slashdot on the front upper left would be nice.
After all, most people only see the backs of /.ers anyway...always hunched over a keyboard on the computer.
mine should have been made too.
a shirt that tells the world you'll spend the rest of your life living in your parent's basement playing d&d with fat old men.
Those shirts serve a great public service, kind of like those Calvin Taking a Whiz on (car logo/terrorist/etc) stickers you see on pick ups. Gives you fair warning... here is someone you DON'T want to interface with in ANY way.
Mod down people who tell people how to mod in their sigs
Hey... Taco likes running a site that lets trolls and others mouth off in comments... that guy is using the site the way taco wants... to disagree.
Ironic, huh?

One could argue that the 4th added winner... the soothing green light design, is indeed the second best design, better than others there... and I think Thinkgeek agrees, what with their ordering of the t-shirts on display... in fact I agree completely with their ordering of them.
:)
Sometimes one has to wonder about the design sense that the Cmdr Taco has...

Why the use of the word Geek (Mainline Geek Culture, Bathing Geeks...) ?
Slashdot is news for NERDS not GEEKS, where I grew up a GEEK is a very different thing to a NERD.
I'm proud to be a Nerd, but I'm not going to call myself a Geek.

Listen everyone. If you don't wear a slashdot t-shirt around the workplace how will others know that you are an eleet hacker? Now go get your t-shirts as fast as you can. I hear they work great for proving your engineering prowess in interviews.
Don't leave home without one!
(Btw, this t-shirt will go great with your copy of hackers 2. )

At my university it seems that the computer science building always smells like body odour. Like some filthy unwashed people have been walking around there all day.
Yet I'm from the engineering building, and it doesn't smell like that over there (the buildings are next to each other).
So, are engineers cleaner than Computer scientists?
