Do You Have a PC Posture?
prostoalex writes "PC Magazine takes a look at 'PC posture' and the problems associated with the workstyles of those who spend hours in front of the PC. They talk about proper sitting styles, the erroneous name of 'wrist rest,' monitor height and the need for periodic exercises to help alleviate potential repetitive stress injuries."
hey guys,
:) if you're reading this, i look forward to meeting you in person, john!
i'm not sure exactly what i'm doing here. so...bear with me!
i clicked "geeky" on my match.com personals profile, thinking that i'd maybe get hooked up with somebody who was into math or some kind of toy train hobby or something...boy howdy was i in for a shock! i went on 4 dates with guys who all got on match.com because of osdn personals from slash-dot! 4 guys!
anyway, it didn't really work out with any of them, because it seemed like they were all under some kind of mind-control robot or something! i was like "what do you think about office? office 97 is enough for me, but there are some things about xp that are cool too...." the first guy i asked that to exploded on this tyrade about how office was evil, and that it uses html that's invalid...blah blah blah, whatever...i figured "ok, this guys a freak, but i'm not giving up that easily." so guy number two and i are having dinner, and just as a test i bring up office, and he says the *exact* *same* *things* the first guy said! it was like he was reading from a script! i'm thinking to myself "is everybody from slash-dot programmed to say the same thing or what?" i decided to do a bit of investigation.
i actually surfed over to slash-dot and read some of the articles...mostly they were pretty boring, and the comments were just like i expected judging from my previous past experience: scripted!!! just when i was about to completely write the whole thing off, i found a post from some guy who's with anti-slash, some kind of anti-slash-dot website. i mailed him and was all "i so agree with you guys, look at what sheep these slash-dot people are!" he wrote back and made some funny comments (funny and so *true*!...that is soooo the best kind of humor...but i dirgress...) and guess what? this weekend i'm supposed to meet him for dinner
anyway, that's my story. ladies: if you're looking for the real cool geeks, check out anti-slash. and fellas, you should check it out too and maybe use to to break out of your mind-control suits!
ok see ya later,
cyndi

Slashdot is an amusing way to stay on top of news stories and hear other people's opinions about them. That's it. That's all. Why take it so seriously?
Breakfast served all day!
Yeah, but not as tired as I am of spammers like you. Four spams to the same article? That's pretty lame.
Also, your site looks like some kind of silly troll hangout (judging by your About page and your forum). You can't expect anyone to take your grievances seriously with such an ugly site with unprofessional information and focus, and seedy members.
Here's an idea: You have a web site. Why not turn it into what you think Slashdot should be, instead of some worthless hive of negativity? Oh, that's right: it's easier to whine about something than to do it yourself.
Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.
Are you tired of slashdot's editors?
Yes, they make mistakes. Don't we all?
Check out anti-slash!
Okay. It looks like a site that was intentionally designed to tick people off. Oh wait - that's what trolls do.

I will admit - that's a neat piece of work. It's a shame it is only being used to break the moderation system.
That's right. Moderation is broken because the likes of you intentionally try to break it to prove a point.

Submarine troll. You collect karma for a while and then burn it off trolling. Should your "jihad operations" reach the respectable, positive contributors who browse at higher thresholds, your use of "jihad" will only rally them against you.

People come to Slashdot for the comments, where ideas are discussed. If you want to promote journalistic integrity as your "About Us" page says, why not engage in educated discussion yourself, rather than spamming the site with rhetoric suggestive of terrorism.
you can force
Also on your site, you say that editors are unqualified. That would mean incompetent, not malicious.
Also, how would it "force" anything? The only thing it would "force" them to do would be to make the system even more complicated, even less transparent, making things senselessly inconvenient. Isn't that what email spammers did to our inboxes? How about botnet owners and OS security?
and have a great time doing it!
Not only a submarine troll and a twister of facts, but also no conscience. You want to berate the editors earlier in the post for "ethical lapses", but you yourself have no ethics. Have you considered becoming a lawyer? You could be the next Jack Thompson!
Thank you for your support,
You're welcome.

Two things wrong with that. You choose "jihad" just so you can provoke us, when you could have come up with a word with a much more positive connotation, such as "crusade". Then, by calling yourself 31337, you hint at your narcissistic need to elevate yourself in front of others. In fact, the entire post is there just to get attention, which hints at histrionism as well. Go see a psychiatrist.
To sum up, you have what would have been a noble cause, but you ruined it by giving it a negative name, a hypocritical and inappropriate means of delivering that cause, and multiple personality disorders, not to mention the fact that this means so much to you that you find the need to disrupt discussion and tell us all about it. Believe me, I'm doing you a favor by telling you to shut down your site and go get help and a life.
