What's On Your Tech Bench?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the oh-to-have-an-unlimited-budget dept.

Twev1701 writes "As a small computer repair company that has seen enormous growth in the past few months, we are now looking to expand our facilities. With construction starting on our office space, we now turn to the task of designing a new tech bench. Our existing bench is 6'x3', has a dedicated 15" CRT, 4 port KVM, and overhead storage bins for parts. With a new bench of 12'x4', we have lots of room for expansion. What essentials would the /. community put on their new tech bench?"

    I'd get a much bigger bench.

    It is official; daniil confirms it: Slashdot is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Slashdot leader CmdrTaco states that there are 914,000 users of Slashdot. How many users of Slashdot are there? Let's see. The total number of Slashdot posts is currently 13,545,370. The total number of comments posted by me (I have three Slashdot accounts) is 2421 -- averaging to 807 per account. There are about 13,545,370/807 = 16785 active user accounts on Slashdot. The number of users of Slashdot is, therefore, 16785/3 = 5595, which is, by the way, less than Fark has.

    All major surveys show that Slashot has steadily declined in market share. Slashdot is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Slashdot is to survive at all it will be among news dilettante dabblers. Slashdot continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Slashdot is dead.

    Fact: Slashdot is dying.

    I really hate these types of postings. I actually get irritated that I take 3 seconds to read them...

    So irritated that I take another 30 seconds to vent my irritation.

    Espresso is both the italian for "very quickly" and the past participle of "to express" (but it also is a type of train and a special delivery letter).

    Go and fuck yourself for christs sake!!! :-)
