Give the Gift of Slashdot
It's time to blatantly plug a recent addition to Slashdot's Subscription System: just in time for the holidays, you can now give a subscription to any other user. You have the choice to give your gift anonymously, or take credit for your fabulous selfless generosity. If that isn't enough, we still have assorted Slashdot Merchandise available at ThinkGeek... the more T-Shirts you buy, the less often you need to do laundry.
Get 'em hooked, then they'll have to keep joining, once they see that the banners have once again quadrupled in size!
I shall give you the gift of bullets and shoes!!

Do we all get a cool account to use?
My checkbook is open Mr. Taco - all you have to do is give me the answers to write you the dollars.
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
and never have sex with your girlfriend again.
And thanks to my subscription, I got a heads up from the mysterious future on this ;) Just in case /. gets slashdotted
Urgo: "I want to live. I want to experience the universe and I want to eat pie!"
Jack: "Who doesn't??"
Give the Gift of Slashdot(ting)
Funny, when I first read the headline I thought it meant you could buy a service to crash someone else's server....
When you have nothing left to burn you must set yourself on fire
The more T-Shirts you buy, the less often you need to do laundry.
Don't fall for this! I now can't do all of my laundry, because I have no place to store my last dozen t-shirts. They are sitting on a chair right now. I started buying more clothes without looking at the volume of my dirty laundry. Now where do I store this stuff? Anyone want a t-shirt?

"... the more T-Shirts you buy, the less often you need to do laundry."
Well, isn't that the geek mantra?

Not to mention that once you own enough t-shirts, you can start a pile in the corner. As you remove a dirty t-shirt, you through it on top. When you need a new one, you take from the bottom. The weight of all the t-shirts on top pressure cleans the ones toward the bottom. Once you acheive a critical mass of t-shirts in your cleaning queue, you will never have to do laundry again.
Slashdot Syndrome: the sudden, extreme urge to correct someone in order to validate one's self.
It's not a dupe, it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Due to high costs of energy this holiday season, the lump of coal in your stocking has been replaced by a Slashdot subscription.
Oh, and a complimentary First Post to sweeten the deal!

no more ads!
I bought myself a subscription basically because I read
And then I found that it blocked all the ads! This is the one site I've EVER visited that I find the sponsors interesting!
Oh the irony!

I think it would help the Open Source developer community if they were granted a gift subscription to /. . The content in Slashdot would be invaluable in their daily research, as informed individuals share their experiences and insights. It would also alleviate the tedium that permeates their lives when they get to follow the insight GNAA, TEH SPOKE, and Subject Line trolls.
So don't delay and support your local Open Source developer, since you never know when you need that Ogg Vorbis support in your favorite application!
Wearing pants should always be optional.
For those that don't know...
It's 1000 pages for 5 dollars.
i just see a bunch of geeky kids now sitting on Santa's lap trying to explain to him what slashdot is...
Merry Christmas All.

that this story gets duped ?
Man, I own plenty of t-shirts. You want to really help me not have to do laundry? Sell slashdot brand underwear and socks in bulk. Every laundry cycle, that's what I run out of first. Or am I the only one?
(Yeah, slashdot undergarments, I'm sure the ladies dig that....)
Karma: T-rexcellent.
Considering that my girlfriend is running BSD, has a Dual Intel Xeon processor, 1 GB ram, a network interface card and can't really walk much further than the length of her powercord...I think a slashdot subscription is just the thing...that is until the price of fuel cell technology drops to the point where we can actually go out on our first date!!!
BTW...she's rack mounted...hubba, hubba.
Is that like the parallel to "a drink for you, my lady, from the mysterious gentleman in the back" or what?
Not really. You can't slip a roofie into a Slashdot subscription. Nor, I imagine, would anyone ever want to if you could.
Everytime I get the chance to moderate, I will bestow apon you as many points as I can.
I will honor and support you in any flame war.
During times your times of good karma, and bad karma,
through a dialup or in broadband
I will be there to post by your comment.
Till the subscription runs out...
Build a Man a Fire and keep him warm for a day... Set a Man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his Life !!

Your girlfriend runs BSD? That's a shame she's dying. My girlfriend is a quad-processor Solaris box. She's as stable as hell and likes to get freaky-deaky!
The ability to fucking count.
More evidence that not only do users not read the articles, but moderators don't read the comments... ;)
Though that is definitely an interesting study in social behavior. All of us randomly posting comments that have nothing to do with each other and then moderating them "accordingly"! It must look like chaos to those on the outside...
(But that explains all those SCO posts that have nothing to do with the story! Ah ha!!!)
More T-shirts, less laundry, right?
Well, maybe not. I don't know about the rest of you, but even I have a lot of extra T-shirts, I would still need to do laundry every so often. Otherwise, I would run out clean underware! Since ThinkGeek doesn't appear to sell any, I doubt if the frequency of may laundry would change that much even if I get one of these Slashdot T-shirts...
Of course, this also makes me wonder something... CmdrTaco either has a lot of underwares or doesn't change his underware very often... I hope the truth is the second one...
If you thought that Michael comment didn't belong, you just haven't been reading the stories he posts.
How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
