Slashdot Mirror
Tales of the Future Past
atlacatl writes "One of the coolest sites I've been to: Tales of the Future Past -
It tells the story (In pictures) of the predictions of the new millenium, early in the 20th century. I had forgotten the web was actually fun and interesting - use at your own risk."
I see a slashdot about to happen.
----
Go canucks, habs, and sens!
I predict that the website will in the near future not load but show an error. It will be known as the "slashdot effect". I also predict that some one will comment on the fact this is the second article about the future. I also see that in the near future I will be modded down...
Thousands of people depressing a button, causing a small box far far away to burst into flames.
I Am My Own Worst Enemy
Frontpage?
STILL no flying cars...:(
I had forgotten the web was fun and interesting
/. will do that to you.
Hanging out at
Has anyone thought of using /. to perform DOS attacks?
"In the future, far too many people will make posts with jokes about the Slashdot Effect."
This sig is only here so people stop skipping the last lines of my posts.
We are the children who grew too fast
We are the dust of a future past
We raise our voices in the night
Crying to heaven
And will our voices be heard
Or will they Break Like The Wind
We are the footprints across the sands
We are the thumb on a stranger's hand
We made a promise in the night
Swearing to heaven Is this a promise we keep
Or one we Break Like The Wind
Hey!
We are the guests who have stayed too long
We are the end of the endless song
We send our hearts into the night
Soaring to heaven
And will out hearts still beat on
Or will they Break Like The Wind
Ooh, Break Like The Wind.
no
So, settle on you jetpack, hitch up you blaster, and tune in the videotron as we tour Future Past!
Dig that futuristic spelling!
it happened.... /.ed after 8 comments...
tales of the future past...
If somebody set-up a mirror we will have tales of the future paste....copy/paste that is...
It was built, it's just that you are not authorized to know about it.
In the future, as the number of /.ers grows, it will be faster to publish a site on CD and distribute it worldwide to small outlets than for all the interested parties to load the page across the net. :-/
You and I both know you weren't looking at National Geographic for "moon base" pictures.
Millennium!
Doot-DOO-doo-doo-doo!
Millennium!
Doot-doo-doo-doo!
(Etc., etc.)
Pffft. "...looking at the diagrams of the moon base..."
C'mon admit it, you were ogling the african girls in their native state of undress.
If you don't want to repeat the past, stop living in it.
I had forgotten the web was actually fun and interesting
And thanks to the Slashdot effect, I can't be reminded of that fact, you insensitive clods!
this site only seems to have a past
Striving to be common...
Do what I do, and read the "old news" section instead of the front page.
That's a neat trick since this is still the most recent article and you've managed to post a comment on it long before it got to the old news section.

"I can slashdot that webserver in nine posts..."
"I can slashdot that site in eight posts!"
"Slashdot that website!"
Persons of a "certain age" will remember that game show. I sure don't!
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
The fact that I was most interested in the moon base and not so much the naked natives probably explains a lot now that I think about it.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
It was a good and decent website who brought joy to many. With it's passing it shall be missed. Let us all join hands and pray for it's resurrection with the adding of bandwith or mirrors. Amen.
Lets see what don't we have. Flying cars? Yup got those just need some obscene amount of cash + piolts lisecense to get one. http://www.moller.com/skycar/ Hover boards? Got those too,although their more surf board than skate board sized, and with a large engine hanging on the back. Still not cheap. http://www.futurehorizons.net/hoverboard.htm Thos cool screens that take up the whole wall. Got those too, provided you can afford it. http://www.superscreen.com/ Video phones. Got those, not too expensive but most people just don't care about them. Won't bother posting a link every knows about these. OK so where still missing our space elevator, can't have everything I guess.
OK, I've been around Slashdot for a while now, and that is possibly the WORST grammatical post I have ever read with a +5 moderation. I mean, we all type fast and have a typo here and there, or decide to post the link text rather than an anchor that takes 4 more seconds to type, but Dear God! This had every element of badness I've ever seen!
Try some punctuation. Or, how about some spelling? What is a lisecense? And of course the they're, their and there distinctions. Sentence fragments (yes I realize that "sentence fragment" is a sentence fragment... even Linguo made that mistake). I hope your first grade English teacher hunts you down and beats you.
We are only now stumbling across the phenomenon of "nemory": an event that never happened, that you don't remember. These nemories are our experiences of "dark info", apparently the vast majority of the info in the Universe. In the future, nemories will be exchanged so much that we won't even notice.
