Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations
aarrieta writes "I was thinking about the location of Slashdotters around the world. Many of us read /. from our houses/offices/schools. But I guess there are people reading Slashdot from non-traditional places/sites (an oil platform in the middle of the sea, Antarctica, the ISS, etc?) But what's the strangest place you've ever read Slashdot from, or the most remote place you're currently reading it from?"
.. in bed with my wife.
But it'll never happen again honey, I promise!
Responsibility is the punishment for compentenc
a girlfriend's apartment. Probably somewhere most Slashdotters have never posted from...
the shitter with a wifi connection
Ahh...my office away from my office. The toilet. The only place where one can truely be left alone with Slashdot.
I read Fark you insensitive clod!
And now, for a sig that's a complete copout.
But what's the strangest place you've ever read Slashdot..
In the butt?

No wonder most of the stories on /. are crap today!

I'm in the stall next to you. I'd appreciate a courtesy flush.

I'm sitting on a fucking asteroid here saving your ass wishing I were on that oil platform I belong on with 8 nutters (long story) thinking of Liv and you have the fucking nerve to ask me if I read Slashdot? Hell yeah. Get over it.
...in the back of a Volkswagen?
This guy does it from a hole in the ground he dug (an epic adventure; a hole, in the ground, in a galaxy, far, far, away...).

I've gotten in the habit of wanting something to read when I do number 2.
One day I coudn't find anything interesting within reach and had already memorized not only the ingridients to my shampoo and conditioner, but the location of their corporate headquarter too. I pulled out a 25ft CAT 5 cable, one end into the switch, and the other end into my thinkpad X22 3Lb laptop.
It was a good poop, and I learned alot that day.

So naturally I read it in a cave and under bridges.

Go canucks, habs, and sens!
... and got rejected, I'd be very upset right now.

..piss drunk, traveling 90MPH+ (friend was driving) using a Sprint PCS connection with my iBook, ranting about how "fucking amazing" technology was.
booze + wireless = endless ranting about "amazing" stuff.
Is this the first outsourced slashdot reading on record?

nothing better than Beer, Tech and T****es. Why here u ask? If a girl that you don't want a dance from comes up to you, what better way to turn her around than look liek a nerd.
I stowed away on Cassini and am posting from inside a crate of pudding. Not sure why they packed that...
You can find out exactly where I am here.

Can't tell where it was, but the speed was 150 mph ;-).

You mean all those 503 errors? No, the rest of us get them too.

What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Explains all the crap people post, doesn't it?
Fascinating articles, that way too, although the print is hard to make out. Something about Microsoft being sued by SCO, I think...
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Most strange place must have been backstage during a production of Chekov's "Uncle Vanya." Oddly enough the play is set in Soviet Russia, so I got a chuckle out of all the jokes on Slashdot that night.
you insensitive clod!!!
Yes, it is quite likely that you don't know much about satellites and their orbits.
Apparently my comment went over your head...

The strangest place I have read Slashdot is on the toilet having a crud. I love wireless networks, although my laptop has been a little unstable since then.
...but at least you got good signal.

Unfortunately, this has led me to read Slashdot while driving.
DAMN YOU, WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY!
no you didn't, you lying sack of shit. You're a 12 year old who lives in southern California.
Bah... I read it in the crapper all the time. Now if you meant you were actually IN the toilet, I stand corrected.

Luckily my box seats were free and I had my Blackberry with me.

I'm posting this from that mythical place we have all heard of. Outside.
I don't know how much longer my body can take the bombardment of these intense rays of heat and light. Man was not designed to undergo such a harsh and cruel environment. The people around me walk with no regard for their fate. Not knowing that little by little this intense heat is killing them just as it is me.
It is for the better of those in my local D&D group that I am undergoing this experiment. I know, one day, that my dice will be saved in remembrance of this great and perilous journey.
What strange species is this? It has long hair and smells nice. And it's skin even has color.

The snopes.com article discusses various issues concerning the whole case.
They use old satelites that are slowly falling out of their orbit.
So when they say their Internet connection is down, they aren't kidding.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
News for turds. Stuff that splatters.
Rate Naked People at FuckMeter! (Not Safe For Work)
You know, it's a good thing you put that "not safe for work" discalimer on your sig. Otherwise, I'd have no idea that rating people at FuckMeter.com would be at all objectionable. Thanks for the warning.

The strangest place I read slashdot from is the John. But the weird thing is not really that I do-- I bet a lot of you do, it's that I'm too cheap to buy a wifi router, so I haul the 20 feet centrally located ethernet cable and my wife's laptop in for some "light"* bathroom reading.
Sure, I could read it on my Treo 600, but that would be cheating. And slow.
*light=not so light. The Dell Inspiron 1100 w/ 15" screen is like 10 lbs.
Especially if her port is in promiscuous mode, you never know what worms may have gotten through. Pay close attention and see if any Trojans which may use that port.
My laptop is with me everywhere, never leave home without it. So when they are blabbering about in church I have my computer stitting on the Organ Console or the bench next to me and read during mass. You know how long winded priests are so I can get a good bit of reading in between Hymns.
So when will the divorce be final?
...but on christmas eve last year in the church I just *had* to know what had happened in the world so I thanked god for my cellular with GPRS and an opera browser ;-)

That's one of the infinite possibilities, yes.

...nerd that ever haunted these nerdy halls!
I've been to my share of strip clubs across the United States, and with the regrettable exception of a club in Akron, Ohio, I have never been tempted to access anything but my bank account at a strip club.
Unless you are a female stripper who worked there, in which case...what are you doing this weekend?
I'm sorry, but your opinion seems to be wrong.
send me some pictures too:

although this is probably pushing it, send me a penguin by snail mail.
Of course, all research stations at the south pole are forever broke, unless they're secretly investigating an ancient civilization under the ice or something.

In a strip bar. There's always at least one lady who doesn't do it for you. So I pulled out my... G1000 pda phone and surfed over to see what the poll on /. was. BTW the dancer was not happy that I'd still given her a dollar but completely ignored her. Oh well.

I once read /. during foreplay.
I think I'm the only one here who can say that.
Now I feel really dirty.
