    Zonkie Zonkie Zonkie.. When do we get our cut in this little ring?

    If I've ever seen an advertisement on slashdot (thank you ad block) this is it.. There is NOTHING remotely news worthy about this article, infact it is more or less a Google advert with more space and an icon.

    Welcome to Slashdot : Livejournal style adverts since 2005!

      I don't know why everyone is going crazy. The carnival stopped at slashdot (see here) and some of us found the whole thing to be an interesting and cool event (with a lot of neat stories i probably wouldn't have seen otherwise). by the way this was just one of those single line things so if you don't think it's the most important thing in the world there really wasn't a reason to click on it.

      Oh come on - I'm hardly the biggest Zonk defender, but the linked article seems (whilst boring) fairly appropriate for the games section of slashdot.

      Also (fires up Internet explorer), it appears to have no advertising on it at all - so I'm not sure what motivation they could have for having zonk link to their page. (Hmmmmn, lets pay slashdot for a big spike in bandwidth costs, with no corresponding revenue. Nope.)

    Misha Borovsky (GNAP) Hollywood, Ca - At a star studded event which was attended by both Jamie Foxx and Denzel Washington, two of Hollywood's leading gay stars, GNAA president timecop and vice-president jesuitx unveiled the latest offering from the GNAA Software Division, GNAA OneNigger.

    "OneNigger is a hosted collaboration groupware for taking a more proactive approach to trolling. By leveraging OneNigger services with industry trolling best-pratices, the lone gay nigger, or small gay nigger organization is empowered to think outside the box." stated timecop.

    Added jesuitx, "Furthermore, in our focus group testing we were able to increase LastMeasure coverage by 36.4% among bloggers participating in large blogrolls. Using modules like the OneNigger Date shared calendaring system allows groups to pick times to touch base on important trolling issues of the day."

    Other modules in the OneNigger Enterprise version include OneNigger Chizzat running on patented extensions to IRC, OneNigger Phone, which offers VoIP technologies with free toll-free access to the USA and Japan, and Gay Porn Avalanche Enterprise 2.0 (GPAE2), now newly integrated into the OneNigger platform. OneNigger requires Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 running on an Intel processor. AMD is not supported, as OneNigger is an enterprise-level software suite, and requires a powerful computer.

    Later on at the after-party, GNAA member Depakote jacked off with this Microsoft OneCare CD, and consumed his seed, much to the squealing delight of Jaime Foxx.

    About AMD:

    Slow.

    Tracking these things around is a pain in the ass, but I like to see them when they pop up. Thanks for a news post that I found Useful and Informative.

    Which is true, even if I mostly posted just to spite the other twits in this comment stream.

  10. Why does /. report on BLOGS? by Hitto · · Score: 1

    How tech-related is this? Do we gain any insight on news, or do we just get something we ALWAYS get in EVERY NEWSPIECE?
    That is, some dude's comment on already old news. That's what a majority of blogs are, and that's why I browse /. instead of the "blogosphere" to get news. As a slashdot visitor, I don't feel like the kind that cares about blogs.

    Please do not do this again.

      Then just tag it "blog". Someday we'll get the ability to filter out articles based on these /. tags and the first thing I'm gonna do is add "blog" to the blacklist.
