    the photos are so secret that only the first 4 people to click on the photos were able to see them before the server crumbled.

    I saw all the images and read the FAQ on the site. There was no mention of what the in flight movie was :).

  5. Instant Slashdotting Bait by billstewart · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it possible to design better slashdotting bait than that? Even screenshots of a new Linux release or an MPEG of Natalie Portman making hot grits is unlikely to get hit much faster.

      An MPEG of Natalie Portman with hot grits down her pants installing Debian in SpaceShipOne in preperation for including it in the LEO beowulf cluster?

  6. Problems with their server.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    After posting the article on slashdot, the server admin heard a loud bang. This was probably the network card buckling under the stress. After further investigation, large amounts of M&Ms were found in the servers drive bays.

    Google Images, I suppose.

    May not be exactly what the submitter intended for us to see, but it's better than nothing, plus it helps collect lots of different images all in one neat, tidy place!

    You must be new here. Welcome to slashdot. We don't give a crap about journalism, fact-checking, quality-control or anything else that that would require the so-called editors to lift a finger.

    I wonder what they do all day.
