For those in the know PythonOnPlanes is a rapid development framework for Python which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association DataMapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables Python users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.'Major highlights in the release include Active Scrum Manager 1, Sanity Preserver 3.13 and Lart 22.21. This is also the first release with the *PythonOnPlanes Live CD Installer* officially debuting on the x86 platform.'"
Seriously.

Ruby on Rails? Python on Planes? Real Programmers use C on Chariots!
The English word fart is one of the oldest words in the English vocabulary.
Just what Slashdot needs: redundant "Snakes on a Plane" jokes. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the 100+ Snakes on a Plane jokes that follow this post
It's not funny any more!! (I mean it wasn't really to begin with, but it was festive) Next year just take a page out of Homestarrunner's book and redesign the main page in some wacky manor.
I don't own a snook, and if I did I wouldn't leave it cocked.
Gooood mutha fuckin choice motha fucka!

GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!

This looks more like a dig at the RoR "wow, it's all so simple, I'm 1000x more productive than I have ever been in my life" hype than just a prank.
my sig's at the bottom of the page.
Spread these articles throughout the entire month of April. The first one to give them an aprilfools tag gets a free /. subscription.
18 bullshit April Fools' stories to *one* legitimate news article on the front page right now?
Editors, it's not even remotely amusing and never was, please give it a rest. I'm sure most of us would rather you didn't update the site at all than bombard us with this juvenile drivel.
My God!
The Pink Ponies are full of it.
the clock on the wall says 4 til 7
HypnoToad demands it !
A +5 Redundant Mod for no reason? Please?! C'mon

What I really like about slashdot is that every year they manage to sneak in one subtle, carefully crafted April's Fool joke amid all of the reagular stories. Their prank blends in very well almost unnoticable, unless for the the prepared or critical reader. If you're not alert, you're made to believe something totally outrageous. Subtlety, careful avoidance to reference the actual date, and not ruining the joke by overdoing it: that is the real April Fool's spirit! I thank slashdot for honoring this tradation.

I got nothin'
I'm Samuel L Jackson, and I want to take a moment to tell you about a film that's near and dear to my heart, SNAKES ON A PLANE! SNAKES ON A PLANE just might be the BEST film ever made! Grab yo homegirl, stop combin' that FUNKY HAIRDO, and GO SEE SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!
blah blah blah

You speak the truth.
I mean... gah! I know it's April fools (actually, it's been and gone in Australia), but my god how many piss poor jokes can one website take?
I come to Slashdot to enjoy some geeky news and stories of interest, not be bombarded with poor joke after poor joke, all of which are retreads of the same poor jokes we've had year after damn year.
Sheesh.
This has gone far enough (we've exhausted the slashdot mod options)
I'm fairly new and could use some positive mod points.

we had Cobol on Cobble Stones and we were grateful.
.....and still no puns abouts CORBAs.....what's wrong with you people?
Adherence to the truth is a form of disloyalty.
What the flying hell is that "Slashdottit!" box doing next to the articles. It doesn't display correctly in Safari (unless you like the left letters missing in a paragraph), and it's spelled Slashdot Tit. ...Slashdot.... Tit....
Whomever is to blame for this... tie him up and make him squeal like a pig. In either case, can someone tell me how to diable it? Thanks...

It's no where near as much fun when you know just about everything put out in all the media is a joke. It kind of sucks when you aren't in the mood for it. I kind of love the holiday. But the point is to actually fool some people. It's not going to happen when everything that comes out is BS.
Plan the one good joke. Not a 100 lame @ss ones.
How long after this post will this be a real development framework?
I used to read Caltizzle. I was a lot cooler than you.
omgponies again plz
I hate April Fool's day. Most of these weren't even momentarily funny.
I hate to think this is what passes for wit among the "I'm scared of girls and I live in my Mom's basement crowd", but I fear that it does.

See, this is what happens when you put a couple hundred people in an enclosed space with a bunch of programming languages.
You had Cobble Stones???
Shoot, we had to make do with Fortran on Feet. And we had to hand carry our Holloriths, too. Seventeen flights of stairs from the punchcard stations to the cardreader, through waist deep snow, and uphill both ways.
Hee, hee... I remember when Crazy Dave started saving all the chad from the bitbuckets of the cardpunch machines. After about a month he had this huge bag of microconfetti, and one afternoon when the Admin had his back to us (rethreading the backup highspeed tape machine, he was), Crazy Dave dumped all that chad into the input buffer of that old woodburning computer. Sparks went flying out every which-way from the grating, and the fluepipe turned cherry red from the heat, but that's got to have been the first ever attempt at overclocking! w00t!
That afternoon Crazy Dave prolly would of solved that puzzle Fermat left behind if the a/c had been able to keep up with the overclocking. But core overheated and the itty-bitty little wires of the outer 16K frame melted, and there were suddenly 147,456 tiny little ferrous donuts rolling around the floor (those frames used 8 bit bytes with a parity bit: pretty good stuff in the day). That's when Crazy Dave and I decided that physically removing ourselves from the presence of the Admin would be a prudent alteration in our plan.
mod me something ironic, for no apparent reason, and now back to the gibberish. Shooklemonk irk nret gooragot, meej tafgh hankmene. theywilg fargetyunkas, meklik, gob.
This has been about the worst April Fools Day ever. Partly because its Sunday, but the jokes on Slashdot and Google this year are about the most unfunny, unprankable ones ever.
Yawn...ZZzzzzz
No, Thursday's out. How about never - is never good for you?
Omg this stuff hit slashdot ? OMG OMG !
But before we panic and look at the bandwidth bills, let me congratulate the perverted genius of Mr spo0nman (and KingDiamond, indirectly). All in all, I think Yahoo! deserves the most credit for boring the hell out of us "cheap indian labour" to make things like this worth our time ;)
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur
Yes, this year did suck. A bunch of boring stories that weren't half way credible, along with a digg-like slashdottit counter...
But honestly, I really do miss the ponies. Say, is there some extension or clever css hack to bring the ponies back? (and, yes I would actually browse like that everyday! seriously!) Is the only way writing a greasemonkey script to replace images and css by hand? Because my javascript-fu isn't exactly great... Any other ways? Hell, I would PAY for a webite that could proxy slashdot or such, replacing what's required in the process to get the ponies. I still have the original files required (saved the page locally just in case)
Seriously? Pretty please?
Feet? LUXURY!
We had Algol on Appendices! Appendices weren't vestigial in my day, mind you.
sigfault. core dumped.
It is very good at opening some fucking windows. Just be sure to strap in first.

Oh hell no. I wouldn't dare touch that drug.
I don't blame you. PHP can be quite dangerous.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
Please tell me that the Slashrating is part of the joke!
I understand most people aren't big fans of the "OMG!! Ponies!!!" pink thing, but I found out how to do it!
:) Out with the green, in with the pink! Love it! (BTW, there are a few other styles, if you're not into Ponies!!!)
;) I suddenly don't care anymore if /. bothers to offer different styles.
Download the slashdotter FF extension, go on it's options, styles tab, then OMG!!! Ponies!!! Get out of there, and you now have ponies for good!
Now if I had only found this thing the day before aprils fools, I might have actually enjoyed this one... Doesn't matter anymore, the Ponies aren't going anywhere
and you're the fool to carry it on!
(..and no, you don't get a dispensation because you're in another timezone.)
SQL on Rails is my favourite. The screencast is hilarious.
I'm so desperate to find an alternative to the badly documented chaos that is Ruby on Rails that I got excited....until I saw the omgponies.
I believed this one completely. I even tried the Web site and wondered how fucked up a Web framework project could be when none of the links - supposedly on a Web site built using their own product - worked! Shows you how much confidence I have in most of these projects...
Why not?
It was completely plausible that some OSS clowns would name their project after a braindead movie!
