    they have a grid-leak drip pan. Otherwise, this could be *very* messy. . .

    Then just use anonymous HTTP proxies! Just pick an address and port combination from the vast list available at the afore mentioned web site. Then enter this information in the proxy settings for your browser/OS combination of choice. In Windows, for example, open the Internet Opions applet in the Control Panel. Click on the 'Connections' tab, and then on the 'LAN Settings' button at the bottom of the tab. Another window will pop up. Under the 'Proxy server' section of that window, click the checkbox there to enable use of a proxy server. Enter your server address and port of choice, click ok on all the open windows, and VOILA! You are free to troll away to your heart's content. :-)

    Of course, there are thousands of addresses and Slashdot can't ban them all, plus there are always more addresses becomming available. So don't worry, you'll always be able to post anonymously, to your heart's content. You may need to try several addresses before you find one that's fast enough for your like or whatever. But, no worries, there's a ton of them! :-)

    Now go forth, by children, and spread the FUCKING HATE! :-P
