    I've been on /. for a number of months now, and i have been trying (casually) to figure out what it means when someone says a website has been "/.'ed"
    Would someone please let me know, and while you're at it, don't be an insensitive clod (unless its funny) :)

    Yeah. Darling was overheating so SCO decided to replace him with The Enderle Troll and the AdTI trolls.

    "AdTI has a proven track record of generating national, regional and local press on issues ... Our press abilities are, quite frankly second to none. ... We would like to request $60,000, or $30,000 a month, to implement this program." -- AdTI fax to Philip Morris

    Translation: "Will publicly lie for money!"
