Creepy Windows XP Halloween mask
An anonymous reader proclaims that "A "Jason"-like hockey mask adorned with a Windows XP sticker and subnet addresses wins IT-related Halloween costume contest. Look out for the scary Data Center Man as well."

Now watch as I serve you up a RED SCREAM of DEATH!
Since we are discussing windows, and being halloween, death, shouldn't the mask be painted blue?

This is probably the worst example of non-interesting, irrelevant "news" EVER on slashdot. Some guy makes a mildly amusing mask and it's a freaking main-page story? Holy crap.
I not sure what's scarier. That someone submitted this story, or that slashdot posted it
Karma: Bad. (As in Good?)
Hehe, subnet mask.
Check those ridiculous ones:

...had more than 3 people actually taken part in the contest! That's like having a wet t-shirt contest on a Monday night at your and having the winners be the ugly waitress that works weekdays, the cook (at 55) and a late delivery by the homely Purolator lady.
One of the 187.
Funny, but I think Penny-Arcade got it right a while back. Their style, in this instance, ought to be emulated.
Why bother.
This has to get the award for least newsworthy Slashdot story ever. I mean seriously, does anybody even read these submissions before they're posted?
The "contest" only got a total of three entries in the first place.
"257" is part of no subnet mask that I know of.
If anything it's more like Michael Myers was attacked at a networking show...
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country did to you
257? Ummm, I don't think I'd wanna hire this guy to manage my network...
This guy's the limit!
someone should have just worn a t-shirt with tons of holes in it and windows vista logo on the front.

You misspelled "Crappy".
Those who believe the Internet is private,
find their privates are on the Internet.
How about you go as....the Slashdotter! It causes any computer system to....stop
do {print "Mini-Geek Rules!\n";}
until ($TheEndOfTheWorld);
Your next stop, the 33-bit IP Address Zone!!!!
Whatever you do, don't open that ICMP packet!!!

It's /.'ed already, just use the mirror.
Posting AC because I don't care about karma.
...has been slash! slash! slash! slash! slash! dotted....
You seem to have posted this amusing but irrelevant "story" on Slashdot. Please remove it and resubmit at again digg.com. You might want to alter the title from this:
To this:
Increase the number of exclamation marks as you see fit, depending on how creepy you feel the mask photo is. You might help your chances of getting the re-submitted post to Digg's main page by using the acronym "OMG" and suggesting that people who don't check out the link are loser's (and yes, you should definitely pluralize it with an apostrophe). Thanks for visiting Slashdot.
networkworld.com down!
.257 is in a subnet.
For the record, no one who is a Windows admin understands how networks work. Otherwise they wouldn't be a *WINDOWS* admin. Ofcourse he thinks
Thanks again slushdot.
Looks like about 85% of you. I am pointing and laughing at you.
No, editors, seriously...
You'd better post something about Ubuntu 6.10 being released or something...
But I admit, it does lack the confidence of 13 consecutive exclamation marks.
if i wanted to make a creepy windows mask, i'd make a windows ME mask.
anyone else get the chills?
Bury me in mashed potatoes.
That sucked, reformat the mask with Inferno running on FreeBSD host, and put a stick of Glenda and Beastie on it.
Obviously he is using IP4.1 which extends each octet to include the Evil Bit, which can be used to mask off packets intended for the spirit metanet. The occult have long hoped that this will lead to breakthroughs in high speed multi-realm data transfer, which has yet to be realised. However, if you matrix the multinet streams, you can get some awesome spooky surround sound.
Aaaaaahhh make it stop, make it stoooop.
I log 7 stories including stuff like Sony forcing games mega hard/software site lik-sang offline, a team developing a cloak of invisibility etc. and they all get rejected. And this gets accepted. WTF!?!?!?!?!
I want a list of atrocities done in your name - Recoil

"At first, we thought it was just another snake cult."
Anyone else notice that his IP fragments include 257? Must be those new routers. ;-)
Uh... imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
Thats more of a Michael Myers Michael Myers mask (from the Halloween Series), not Jason Voorhees (from the Friday The 13th Series). Sorry to nitpick, I just love Horror movies too much to let that slide. cheers~

This is the kind of stuff CmdrTaco loves to post. Anyone remember his twelve-paragraph essay whining about the fact he had to change his name in World of Warcraft? Even worse, the article attempts to argue that he should have been able to keep his name solely because he's CmdrTaco of Slashdot, and he's been using the name a long time.
That story was posted to the front page. The front page of what was once the #1 tech news site (since surpassed in traffic by Digg).
"Sufferin' succotash."
was a waste of 1.8 minutes

that the scariest costume they came up with was the old, fat Klingon.

To the guy who modded me down from perfect to terrible Karma - Apple haters still suck
Another excellent use for windows stickers. My personal
favorite was taking the "Made for Windows XP" stickers
off the laptops and sticking them on the toilets in the
restrooms. A little drop of superglue made sure they
would stay there even when the janitors cleaned.

100s of thousands of people have checked out the pictures. So Slashdot editors couldnt be too wrong about this...and it looks like more and even better (or lamer) pics are to come. BB
