X10 Hallowe'en Display
Spic writes "I'm sure alot of us remember the Christmas light display using X10 that was up for last Christmas, well, the same guy has a Hallowe'en display up. Pretty neat idea. You can even vote for your favorite politcal candidate: Bush, Kerry, or The Incredible Hulk. Looks like he also anticpated our arrival."

I like the javascript alert.. he's like a kid who touched an oven element.. he remembers last time wasnt fun..
2 hours till the controls come online, wonder if he'll last..
Geez, shouldn't they be using X11 by now? I mean, how long has it been out?
(Joking)
Looks like he didn't prepare very well, only 3 posts into the thread and his server turned into a christmas goose.
First rule of holes; When in one, stop digging.

For revenge on your boss, there's cash, for everything else, there's mastercard.
DUHHH.
It's celebrating the birth of Santa Claus.
Looks like he also anticpated our arrival.
Umm, with his webserver being slashdotted after less then 10 comments, I think it's safe to say he didn't expect our arrival. Anyone got a cache?
The "Insert Quote Here" line is almost as predictable as inserting an actual quote.
Actually, his "Incoming Slashdotter" Java Pop up indicates he's fairly well prepared.
If you build it, they will come indeed.

Seriously, though, this guy impresses the crap out of me. The most I ever did was turn my bedroom lights on and off over the Internet and freak my parents out.

Wow....the slashdot editors edited something. Amazing. Now can someone tell me why?
"X10 Halloween Display" -> "X10 Hallowe'en Display". Same change in the article text.
Huh?

That's not fair! The Hulk is taking votes away from Kerry!

"Looks like he also anticpated our arrival."
No one expects the Slashdot Inquisition!
this Friday he got Farked, and today he's getting Slashdotted...
this guy must love the Internets now!
I didn't know that you could do anything else with X10. What else is there to do beside secretly recording women?
Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
I don't do this for karma, I do it for cash. It's much better.
