Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD)
Nik writes "Hot on the heels of Family Guy's revival, Can't Get Enough Futurama is reporting that 'there is renewed talk at FOX about bringing fresh Futurama content directly to DVD.' While nothing is confirmed at this point, it is apparently the first time that a division of Fox has considered producing new episodes of the animated sci-fi series in some time."
They're checking to see if you're a proxy server. Trolls and other people whom the editors/moderators disagree with will often post through HTTP proxies to hide their real IPs. As such, Slashdot attempts to check to see if you're a proxy and if so, ban you from posting.
(This may also explain why posting is so damn slow.)
PLEASE keep wasting your mod points on me. [sarcasm]I swear to god I'll learn to keep my mouth shut about abuses of the moderation system.[/sarcasm] After all, I have excellent karma. The more mod points prudish moderators waste on obvious jokes, the more dissenting opinions actually make an impact on slashdot. For the interested, here's what I wrote, in chronological order:
Anyone got a torrent?
Who are the pricks who modded me -1 Troll? Asking for a torrent was obviously a joke. Christ on a cracker, go fuck yourselves, you humorless right wing son of a bitch bloggers.
Modding the first to -1 Troll is just silly. Although the second one is inflammatory, one should only be inflamed if he was its target -- one of the two humorless douche bag moderators who modded me down the first time. The second post was modded down too.
I fully expect this post to be modded down too.
After all, I am strangely colored.
