    How to obtain karma on slashdot.

    Do one or more of the following:
    refference to War on terrorism in derogatory fashion
    refference to Microsoft in derogatory fashion
    refference to SCO in derogatory fashion

    Remember it must be derogatory! If you support any of the above mentioned you will get negative karma!

    I know you must be wondering, "but what if the parent story has nothing to do with the derogatory suggestions? Won't I be modded as offtopic?" Thats the beauty of it! You'll never be offtopic! You'll be posting with a +1 karma bonus in no time!

    If you are going to make a post without numbers or facts then at least bash SCO or Microsoft. (j/k)

    If you want to be moderated as Funny, don't ever put the letter j to the left of the letter k without any intervening words in your post. If we have to be told it's funny, it's not.
