Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations

Posted by simoniker on from the back-of-a-volkswagen dept.

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?"

    Regarding the article line:

    But what's the strangest place you've ever read Slashdot from?

    I was going to suggest they use the proper English, "What's the strangest place from which you have ever read Slashdot?" but ... I then realized if I did that I'd have my head up my ass.

    For your average Slashdot poster that's more of the standard place from which to post.

    Okay, post-Soviet. And it wasn't Russia, it was Kazakhstan.

    At a former "secret city" (Stepnogorsk), out in the steppe, between a gold mine, uranium processing plant, and a biochemical warfare laboratory.

    To get some solitude, I wandered into the middle of the grassy nowhere with a Thinkpad and a portable Inmarsat terminal (2400bps!). Ahhhh!
