Weird Presents Anyone?
g8way writes "Now that Christmas is about, it's time for presents. A joyous occasion with much drinking, fruitcake, and butt-ugly sweaters. What's the weirdest gift you've gotten so far? Personally, I got toothpaste, tic-tacs, deodorant, and a McDonalds coupon book in the same package. What's your story of Christmas present mayhem?"

I'm sorry if I don't use the metric system, a system that requires conversion when dealing with anything related to hard drive storage, not just my blasphemous non-metric computer.

Well, Christmas is all about forgiveness. Or is that Easter? One of those pagan festivals, anyway
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew
You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish
Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah
O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby
Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is
Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
On this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukah
Hey that's my line!
Mods please be nice. It's Christmas, after all.

Is it just me or is Slashdot supposed to be "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters"?
How does this matter? For that matter, how is this news?
Editors! Wakey wakey time! Even a duplicate news item has got to be better than this.
LOL! what a bunch of crap!
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Ham Radio fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Ham Radio and TNC (Kantronics KPC-2 TNC Packet Communicator II hooked up to an ICOM 706 MK IIG) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder on a harddrive 5 miles away. 20 minutes. At home, on my WiFi enabled laptop, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Ham Radio/TNC combonation, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, simplex communication will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even my morse code keyer is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Ham Radio machines, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Ham Radio box that has run faster than its WiFi counterpart, despite the Ham Radio machines faster chip architecture. My ancient 1980's numeric pager with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Ham Radio is a "superior" machine.
Ham Radio addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Ham Radio over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
LOL!! why did you go ac on that? you'd have mad karma =/
I know more than you drink.

Wait 30 minutes to see what posts get moderated up and which post is first.
Look at the content of a highly moderated post farther down on the page and regurgitate it as a reply to a first post.
It looks like it's an original thought and it's at the top of the page!
If a post has nothing to do with the parent post, don't moderate it up. Chances are it's redundant from something posted earlier but farther down.
You should have posted to the real first post (and changed the title so it's not "re:") which is most likely moderated at a -1. Then it looks like you post is the parent post to those who don't browse at that level. Badabing! First Post. Without even trying.
This space is intentionally staring blankly at you
well i did. the same quality as other days in year. therefore xmas sucks
