October marks 10 friggin years of Slashdot, and nobody is more surprised
about any of this than me. Throughout the month we'll be running a series
of navel gazing meta news articles about our history, infrastructure and plans for the future. We're also
going to give away 500 t-shirts and
ThinkGeek gift certificates to people willing to
organize and attend their own local Slashdot parties. One lucky winner will get a cool grand to blow at ThinkGeek! I'm going to attend "official" gatherings in Ann Arbor, MI on Oct 20 and in Palo Alto, CA on Oct 25. But you can read on for details about party organization and how you can win the grand prize.
The idea is simple. Visit
the Slashdot Anniversary
Party Web Page. You can sign up to attend a party, or if there's nobody
hosting near you, you can create your own. The details of your local parties are up
to you- each has a corresponding discussion so you can work it out amongst
yourselves. The Ann Arbor gathering will be at a bar because dammit I'm old
and don't have time to go out for beers much these days. But you do whatever works for
the folks in your area. Dorm Room. Bar. Gym. Wherever several Slashdot readers
gather, we shall attempt to mail shirts until we run out.
To be eligible for schwag, you need to schedule your party by Oct 8 and sign up to attend a party
by Oct 9- this will give us time to figure out where to send the shirts, and time to send them before
you all start partying naked during the official party window of Oct 19-28.
As for the one thousand dollar ThinkGeek Gift Certificate grand prize, the winner
will be the party attendee who submits the coolest thing for our "scrapbook".
Videos. Pictures. Songs. Anything you can email. Something that proves that your party was the one we all wish we were at. The deadline for submissions will
be Oct 28. We'll have an official
submission email address posted later. This is all about creativity and coolness
so good luck with that. The grand prize winner will be posted on Oct 31, the end of the
month when we can all forget that any of this ever happened.
Oh, and happy birthday to us. Here's to wasting another decade, same as the first.

Damn, have I been wasting my time that long? ;-) Any parties going up in Europe?
despite all the criticism the slashdot crew face from people who are just critical by nature, slashdot has grown into a (more or less) +1 insightful community over the years. i've gotten a good deal of my tech news from that familiar teal and white website, and i know a lot of people are the same way. heck, one of the first things I do when i install firefox is create a Google bookmark, then a /. bookmark in the toolbar. slashdot is a voice in the industry. (plus think of all the in-jokes that just wouldn't be funny without slashdot!)
/. and many more! now i've got to get back to a date with natalie portman, a beowulf cluster, some soviets, and a big bowl of hot grits.
happy birthday

Yeah, sign me up. :rolleyes:
"Slashdot" and "parties". Two words I never expected to see anywhere near each other.
I write bullshit
Slashdot has not been here from the beginning of time? What did ancestors do with their lives then?
As someone who's only been on /. for a couple years, I'd be interested to see what it used to look like ten years ago.
Like, was the dupe article around from the start, or is it a more recent development?

Hey pal, this isn't a pleasantforest, so don't waste my time with pleasantries!

I love you /. Here's to another decade of stories and news I read on this site FIRST!!
If I wanted my mind made up for me, I'd do it myself!!
Ten years since I've been an intern. And, in certain respects, I'm still sitting here this morning doing that same sort of stuff. That's... depressing. I need to go open a bicycle shop or something.
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
May the next decade be more Informative, Insightful, and Funny and less Off Topic and Flame Bait. Oh. What would be the fun in that?
this story is obviously a dupe

Hi! Happy Anniversary!
... signing up for an account on slashdot was one of the first things I did :)
;) And keeping me up to date with all the great internet memes out there.
I remember how happy I was when my roomates and I could finally afford broadband many many years ago
Thanks for all the great news, sometimes twice
Cheers!

Please message me if you deside to host one in north or south Carlina.
I like to read the obituary page, and see what people actually did in their lives. Attending a job and going to wal-mart is not living, but what you create and who you touch is life. Real life.
I have used Slashdot off and on from 1998 to the present, mainly as a reader who lurks and does not post. Here is why I like Slashdot:
* It collects people based on the idea of what is cool in technology for technology's sake, not with a pure business focus.
* It gets people from opposite "sides" in any debate talking with each other.
* Many of its cooler features, like the social networking sides, are barely yet being exploited.
There are downsides:
* Community-based moderation empowers the same fearful crowd reactions we see when the words "terrorism" and "illegal drugs" are bandied about.
* The jokes about CowboyNeal, Soviet Russia and basement-dwelling are so aged that it is too late to bury them. They must go to a dusty museum somewhere (in Hell).
I think that's not a bad balance. I've learned a lot on Slashdot and enjoyed quite a bit of "wasted" time. I hope to see other Houston Slashdotters and meet interesting people.

What are the minimum requirements for an event to be called a "Slashdot Party" and thus eligible for those fabulous prizes? Because I've been getting loaded by myself and posting drivel on Slashdot for years. If that's not good enough to qualify as a Slashdot Party, I can put on some house music next time.
In order to stay closer to the "spirit" of Slashdot, I can buy the same beer two events in a row and then shout "dup!" at myself. Then, I can complain bitterly about the quality of the beer, and how I used to buy much better beer 10 years ago before I sold out and got all "corporate". I'll hang a big banner that says "2007: The Year of Linux on the Desktop" and shout "Windows Sucks!" at passersby. Finally, I'll pour hot grits down my pants and pass out on the keyboard mumbling sweet nothings about what I'd do to a petrified Natalie Portman.
The last thing I should do, if I want to keep the event true to the Slashdot spirit, is to invite others to attend. So, I think my party will be the most "authentic" Slashdot party of them all. Where's my t-shirt?

I've been reading/ignoring "first post" on /. for 10 years? Time flies when you're having fun, I reckon...
...when I logged in the first time into slashdot, back in 1997 - on my supercharged Commodore Amiga 500 - it was ubercool to write each post again, each time anyone wanted to read it (hence ofcourse the saying "first (unique) post", har har).
And ofcourse it was cool to have a UID of 6 digits back then, proved you were hip, unlike all those lower digit users... Like erm... you... Ahem... Excuse me please...

Is there any way to tell when I created my account?
10. Leaving parents basement. The light! The light!
9. People only like me on Slashdot because they cannot smell me on slashdot
8. People will probably bring laptops, and I run Windows Vista
7. People will realize I am not a) an astrophysicist nor b) a hot female astrophysicist
6. While I can get away with visiting Slashdot at work, people will actually notice I am not working if I go to this.
5. Actual, retributive karma likely if my "foes" met me in person
4. I don't remember my password
3. ???
2. profit!
and finally
1. I don't actually want to be associated with any of you in real life (I keed, I keed!)
How long before this story gets duped?
Congratulations to all at /.! :)
Thanks for giving me something to do in the early hours when my code doesn't work, i'm too tired to sleep, and when i'm bored at work.
Please, though, stop posting crap like this.

I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. For Entertainment Purposes Only.
Actually, before it was Slashdot, it was "Chips And Dips", a section on Rob Malda's Personal site.
For a while archive.org had an archive of a Chips and Dips page, but it mysteriously disappeared. The files I retrieved are here: http://toastytech.com/files/chipsndips.html
I wasn't there myself at the beginning, I discovered Slashdot one of the first times C-Net News.com linked to it - and then I just stupidly hung around without signing up for ages until there was some article I wanted to comment on (probably something anti-IE)
BTW, anyone got the original Chips & Dips logo graphic? Archive.org never did have that.
For sure I am the oldest AC...
How about a bonus for the first organizer in Soviet Russia (double points for proving conclusively that, in Soviet Russia, Slashdot celebrates you)? Or to hook up a bunch of sites and making a beowulf cluster of the meetings (wetware processors, donchaknow)? Or maybe for seeing if the people run Linux?

Given enough personal experience, all stereotypes are shallow.
It is official; Netcraft confirms: Slashdot is dying!
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot community when IDC confirmed that Slashdot market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all network traffic for wasting time at work. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Slashdot has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Slashdot is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test...
Just kidding! Good job everyone. Keep up the good work, and try not to lose market share to groklaw!!!

This site has been many things to people over the decade (announcements of products, discussions of how we can work more effectively with product/code/etc. and even a marriage proposal). I've had three different profiles here, each one forgotten, because of disuse. But this site, along with fark, has been a site I've always come back to. And in the littered landscape of fallen, shut down, and just plain forgotten sites, this was not only sustained but has grown.

Happy birthday, geezer!
This means my site is older than slashdot, by five months! Of course, the URL has changed a few times; when I got on the internet my ISP provoded "unlimited access", and I proceeded to test the "unlimited" part by putting anything and everything on the web space they provided. I started "the springfield fragfest", a quake site, also older than slashdot (but rests comfortably at archive.org with its tits up) and shoveled patches, demos, all sorts of crap in there and my host never squealed once. But the mcgrew.info logo is the same (unlike slashdot's).
I think I found slashdot some time in 1998 or 1999, but lost my original password (therefore losing my user name when I changed hosts and email addresses). It would be nice to post as "mcgrew" again here, with that account's uber-low UID.
Happy birthday again, slashdot! You may not be as old as me, but you're older than Google and Amazon. Hey Google and Amazon, you kids get the hell off of slashdot's any my lawns! Hey slashdot, have a beer. What did your doctor say about that embarrassing personal problem, geezer? Mine gave me some blue pills.

...or was it late 1997(?), via a link on linuxhq.com. IIRC, it was the macsurfer of the linux world (aka a summary site for linux-heavy news) at the time, only to be changed by some bonehead into something else (linuxhq, not slashdot). I still remember /. before the userids, moderation, captchas et al. I regret not taking a userid when that was announced (after some mom-basement dwelling pizza-faced social basket-cases started posting obseneties (sp???) just for kicks), I'd have a 3 or 4 digit uid, which might be a cool bragging point nowadays...
I'm still surpised that CmdrTaco & crew got rich developping what some could consider just a web-based BBS. Cue in the proverbial "why didn't I do it?" lament... Can't be the only grey beard that thought the same thing at the time when they got bought out.
Anywho, congrats Taco, Neil & co!

Wow, have I been reading this site that long?
After Slashdot got popular (1998?) I remember I had to plan the timing of my visits to Slashdot. I had to get there first thing in the morning because inevitably if I waited till lunch it was hosed. It was like 11am and ending somewhere around 2pm that Slashdot would be so slow you couldn't get to it. That was before it was bought out of course.
I remember taco telling us it was running on a single server back then. I wonder how many there are now?
I blame djKing for introducing me to this place during a Java programming class at NAIT back in '99.
So many good times, so many highs and lows. I've never gone from anger to hysterical laughter so quickly on any other site.

I think I first did sign up to slashdot in 1998, but because I only had limited dial up at the time, I didn't use that account, so it got deleted. I did return back here few months ago.
Happy 10 years, may this web survive whatever it is thrown at it.
Being one of the 'lower' ID# people on the website it has been very interesting to see how the site has evolved over time.
/. Some people have recently complained about how Slashdot is less about tech news than it is about politics, but personally I think its a good thing. While the quality of some discussion has definitely decreased during these ten years, I still find that there is good and heated discussions to be had about fundamentally important issues whose impact extends far beyond the boundaries of this site.
In my eyes, the most interesting change has been the increasing politicization of

Here's a link in case you're like me and you're wondering what the hell this thread is about.
I found slashdot when looking at top teams on the distributed computing keybreaking competition.
I remember when they added the account system. I remember debating whether or not I should get an account, since it was an intrusion into my privacy so I held off for a while.
Amazing that some people still read slashdot. I skim other forums, but this is the only one that still seems workable / usable / useful to me. They have had enough technical developments to keep up with the changing internet.

Remember back in the day, every other story was about Palm Pilots and Linuxworld, an individual sponsored event in North Carolina. Research Triangle Park and Malaysia were going to replace Silicon Valley.
I discovered Slashdot in 1999 I believe it was. I had some coworkers at IBM build a linux cluster out of 14 or so machines we had at a show somewhere and the link to it got posted here. He sent out an internal email letting some of us interested in Linux at the time about it and that's how I found the site.
Can't find the original article though, not sure if it was 1998 or 1999 when I joined, or if it was later than that.
As a rock-in-roll Physicist once said, No matter where you go, there you are.
If you want a glimpse of an earlier Slashdot, take a look at the WayBackMachine. The earliest copy of Slashdot's front page there is dated 13 Jan 1998. The Slashdot poll of the day? "Netscape should GPL Mozilla".
I only know two people in Moldova who have accounts on Slashdot. There is also a small number of people who regularly read discussions I forward to their email accounts. This sounds like a great opportunity to find out who else spends a lot of their time on this web-site.

Am I the only one whose brain is interpreting the header as "Slashclot" in 1337?
Resistance is futile. Reactance buggers it up.
Just as I was wondering how many hours I've enjoyed/lost (tends to fluctuate based on current amount of actual work to do) reading this site (been doing so since before user accounts - held off because at the time "people in the know" told you ad nauseam _never_ to register _anywhere_), I noticed the "have you metamoderated today" link. Lo and behold.
I'm one of many that have had their mod privs revoked after moderating a "post of doom" or something like that (can't dig up any fast references - I seem to recall something about a user called Signal11 or something starting an offtopic meta discussion in some story - I'm sure most of you that were around at the time still remember).
Anyway, I was kind of wondering why today of all days my metamod privs seem to have been reinstated. Is this some kind of 10th anniversary present? A cunning plot to make me enjoy/lose even more time here? Coincidence? An omen of the impeding singularity?
Taco, if you're reading this and this is like some general pardon or something, really, geez, thanks man. I'll try to behave next time. No promises though.

've been lurking around on Slashdot for about 4 years now, I never really comment on anything, just absorb their stories and look somewhat busy during the early work hours.
...I have CIPA, you insensitive clod!!
Breakfast served all day!
It would be nice to mash a link on the main page and go back to the ten years ago today page, for the next year anyway. Or what the heck, from here on out. Like, be nice to see old flame wars, what the coolest new tech was, and the most craptacular, see which corporations were acting like asses, etc.
BTW, congrats on ten years, that's like 1,000 in internet dog years!
Coincidentally "Soviet Russian" hardware site http://www.ixbt.com/ turns 10 today too =)
Any interest in doing something in the north-west of the United Kingdom? Manchester? Liverpool?
I'd be interested in seeing the most accurate and least accurate tech predictions from that era for times about now.
One I recall is extrapolating the growth of MicroSoft and Bill Gates wealth. I recall people prediction MSFT to have the first trillion dollar stock valuation about now and Bill gates to be a trillionaire a couple years after that. They've both slowed down considerably.
Everyone knows CmdrTaco was replaced by a small shell script years ago.
Congratulations! =D
Now, who's for a drunken party?
I feel your pain. Just 1051 users between me and the hollowed ground of 4-digitdom.
It'd be cool if /. added a table that listed blocks of ids, their user name and last time they'd logged in or posted. I can't imagine that too many of the 1051 users between me and 9999 are actually still active.
All editorial writers ever do is come down from the hill after the battle is over and shoot the wounded.

The party page uses exclusive buttons. But what if we want to go to more than one party? Or what if we want to go to them all? :-)
I asked my parent's if I could hold a party down here in my basement, but they said no.
Sorry, guys. I tried.
No, AOL users say "Me too!". Slashdotters say "You're wrong. You forgot to consider (logic) and (example).", whatever the post.
Ok, so who has the party with the lowest UIDs ? (Except CmdrTaco etc... < ~15 ) :]
It's also quite possible at this point that I've spent more time browsing this website than the total amount of time I've spent having sex.
I guess I should kill myself or something.
I didn't think the house band in Hell would play this badly.
Congratulations "/." you're getting younger, better,
/., you have /. to blame for that distinction. The best /. with you.
and keeping folks with lower userids busy reading.
CommanderTaco, you'll always be #1 on

Oh yea, THANKS!
Unaccountable leaders are masters, and unrepresented people are slaves. How do US and EU fare?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
I reckon I've been a reader since I installed Slackware off of floppy disks... That has to be at least 8 years ago. How elite does that those of us who are in this Slashdot demo?

Okay, yes, I actually created a party planned to be about 50-60 feet (15-18 meters) underwater at a spring in Florida, and sure, live network connections are a bit hard to come by under that much water and rock. Thankfully laser printed pages are relatively impervious to water (although the paper tends to go downhill fast), because I don't think my laptop would really care for the dampness. (1. Inverter. 2. Water. 3. ??? 4. Profit?) I think the 2.5 ata of pressure might harm some components, too.
:D
Anyway, if any of you happen to be divers, please do join me. You're already a nerd or a geek (that being an inclusive or, of course), so why not be a dork, too, and do a slashdot dive? It'll be fun! Trust me.
(The dive is set for the fall of night on the 20th at "The Cavern at Vortex Spring" right near Ponce de Leon, FL.)
English first (after all, it is made very clear in the Slashdot FAQ that /. is a U.S.-centric site), then Portuguese, because I'm hoping to set up an event here in southeastern Brazil.
I'm in São Paulo. My ice cream shop won't be ready in time (I'm hoping to open in November, but that depends on a lot of things beyond my control), but I'd be willing to organize one at a bar or restaurant somewhere in the West Side of São Paulo. For what it's worth, I live in the Vila Leopoldina and know some nice places around here and in Pinheiros. If anyone shows interest, I'll go to the other page and officially set up a celebration of 10 years of Slashdot. It just can't be on the weekend of the 12th, because I'll be visiting my girlfriend in Rio. I suggest the following weekend. How about the 20th, which will be a Saturday?
Agora em português:
Estou em Sampa. Minha sorveteria não vai ficar pronta em outubro (espero poder abrir em novembro, mas depende de muitas coisas fora do meu controle), mas eu estaria disposto a organizar uma festinha num bar ou restaurante em algum lugar da Zona Oeste. Moro na Vila Leopoldina (perto do CEASA, e para os baladeiros, se é que tem baladeiros nerd por aí, perto da Pachá) e conheço alguns lugares legais por aqui e em Pinheiros. Se alguém se manifestar, vou pra outra página para marcar oficialmente uma comemoração dos 10 anos de Slashdot. Só não pode ser no findi de 12 de outubro, pois vou visitar minha namorada no Rio. Que tal dia 20, que vai cair num sábado?

Ten years ago, I vaguely recall killing time pretending to work as an unpaid sysadmin at a horrible fly-by-night ISP called Quest Internet. This was a place that condoned and even encouraged playing Quake on the main (only) server. A pal of mine was reading this neat site called Slashdot, so I started reading it too.

Why not have an official party in Holland, MI, the birthplace of Slashdot?
I'm so excited to go to the party here in Houston! Yay for geek fiestas!
Mod parent Up, thats hilarious!
...in an epic discussion!
I wonder how many restaurants / bars will be slashdotted?
Wow, 10 years! I think that's about 256 years in Internet Time. Not bad, not bad at all...
I have to do the obligatory plug for the Slashdot Song I wrote which includes as many as I could think of:
http://meta.slashdot.org/~Webcommando/journal/175123
I love the sound of distortion in the morning -- webcommando
... however, when the first article was not read before posting replies, for that day is more clearly known than any other in slashdot.

if anything this story's one way to see which low-UID'ers that are still around...
you host the party !
Hey, after 10 years I finally get the meet the man standing just in front me in the line of uids... Pleased to meet you... :-) I was slowly getting convinced that by now I was about the only one still standing in that range. Sort of a lonely "last of the real slashdotians" feeling. :-)

insightful you say?
right....
I started a web site in 1996 that's still going... that makes me pretty darn old in Internet years. So keep the noise down, ya dang kids! And I'm not cleaning the carpet this time around neither!
I enjoy the jokes as everybody else, but I just want to take a moment and reflect what Slashdot has been for me in the last 9 years. It has been more than just a forum with tech news and stuff. It is truly a community of minds. A place for all of us that CARE about things, from technology to science to politics. A place where we can voice our individual and collective opinions. This is the embodiment of what I envisioned as the potential of the new "Global Network thing" back in 87 when I was playing with Bitnet at the University of Santiago in Chile, and I was amazed at what it could become.
In the late nineties I was a sales engineer for Ascend Communications and I was traveling around the world constantly, many times for 4 weeks on a row. I can still remember how Slashdot was the only piece of "stability" in my life at that time, as I was constantly stuck in hotels on the weekends, many times in places there is no much to see. The refresh button was my friend back then...
I don't know. I may be too sentimental today, as my grandma passed away yesterday 6,000 miles away, and here I am again, finding comfort in the community.
Happy birthday Slashdot. Keep up the spirit of independence, and keep caring about stuff that matters...
... and so say all of us.
Oops, wrong 10th birthday celebration.
Happy birthday Slashy anyway!

My friend had account 31337 back in the day. I think it might have just disapeared on him. What happened there? Conflict with a filter?
if i ever meet you i will kick your ass!
Does the party need to be held during the official party window for attendees to be eligible for totally rad shirts? Or any other schwag for that matter? I would hate to miss out.
eh, Taco? So much for not selling out to the man.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
I dream in binary.

Dear /. Reader,
Last week we selected [famous name] as an authority in [field] to answer some of your best and brightest questions. We've included [his/her] responses below:
[the I-think-you-are-cool-and-would-like-to-be-like-you question]
1. How did you choose [field] and how can I get more involved in [field].
[famous name] Well, I really started by [...at this point, [famous name] begins to launch into a short autobiography. The reply to this first question will take up about as much space as the other 9 combined.]
[the multi-part question]
2. I think you are really cool. What are you feelings on [topic]?
and how it relates to groundhogs
[famous name] Phew! That sure is a lot to answer. Well I guess you could sum it up neatly by saying that, yes, I do like it all.
[the I-also-like-[other-topic]-do-you-think-it's-relate d-to-your-[field] question]
3. I really like your work and am also interested in the whole Napster-Metallica-MP3 debate. How do you think it relates to your scientific [field]?
[famous name] Well, I, well, uh... [at this point, [famous name] is thinking, "Where in the world did that question come from? Oh well, I'll try to be polite and answer it] I really think that, uh, music should be, uh, heard--yeah, heard!--and I think that, uh, well, Napster provides a service of hearing.
[the really-in-depth question]
4. Dear [famous name],
I have tracked your research into biogenetical ESP CIO medicare research with great interested and wondered if you could clarify a minor point for me: in your estimation, are the EIO levels in a controlled AF/BF reaction substantially higher than the CF/DF state because of genetic-electro-magnetic lunar levels or is it mostly from O2 radiation WRT our helial position?
[famous name] [Recognizes a quality question from a member of [field] and tries to formulate a scientific answer] Well, I believe my research has conclusively show that CD/DF states can be generated from the O2 +7/~3KE100 states of the T1000 with ISA/PCI/FBI catalysts [...launches into such arcane detail that no one outside of his research area has any clue what he's talking about.]
[the Score:5, Funny question]
5. What do you think of Natalie Portman eating hot grits in a Boewulf cluster?
[famous name] Uh, well, I'm not really sure what you mean. Wasn't Natilie Portman that actress in Star Wars or something? [[famous name] is now wondering what he's got himself into, and who exactly are these Slashdot people...]
[the your-work-sucks-I-scoff-at-you question]
6. Hey [famous name's first name], I seen you on CNBC and I gotta tell ya, I don't think it's gonna work. I mean, whose to say that you even gradated from MIT in the 1st place? Are we supose to believe that stuff? If ur so smart, how come you haven't figured it out yet?????!!!!!
[famous name] Well I believe we can make this work. I realize we've spent $80 million in research already, but if you look at the data I think you'll see that our work has some definite promise here. The possibilities for science are almost endless!

How about gifts for loyal /.ers? Let's say UID = 1000.
10 years.... mmhhh, lemme think. Gotten me a heap of certificates some 8 years ago, so yea; I might be close to 10 years as well. 10 years of setting the homepage of each and every single browser on every friggin' 'puter that I installed to our dearly beloved /. That's some 10k+ boxes, yo ! [Now I get a cookie, bro !]
Still.... congrats and tip'o the hat to all [all submitters as well, even when I never got a 5+ karma]
The site in its very early days had the following threat for the comment posting system:

Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
SGI was still there in 2000/2001 near the time when I graduated from EC. They wouldn't hire me, though, so I hope they fail. :)
Kidding aside, their web page still shows an office in Chip Falls. I'm sure it won't be long, though. Most major companies remaining here are realizing that there is no reason to stay in Wisconsin.
Sadly, my original UID was linked to my college email account... so when we got new addresses over the summer (ncsu dropped the 'unity' server, IIRC, and didn't forward) and I didn't log in to /. for a summer, forgot my password, I lost my good UID.
Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?
Does posting in a thread visited by the great CmdrTaco get you more karma? ...
Hi Mom!
Now, about 4 years later and in a different continent, I am 17 (still a young whipper-snapper) and, despite my dalliances with Digg (bleh), Reddit and OSNews, I always find myself returning to my green overlord of geeky syndication.
Happy 10th birthday, Slashdot. I wish you many more.
BTW, does anyone know is Connor O'Neals lets those of us who may not legally drink in as long as they don't attempt to consume intoxicating beverages? I live in Ann Arbor and would be quite disappointed to miss the event.

One doesn't write "ten year birthday." One should not write "ten year anniversary" either.
Like birthdays, anniversaries come once per year. The word anniversary comes from the Latin word for year.
So it's Slashdot's tenth anniversary.
Many Slashdotters put some small amount of stock in the UID's each of us have. Aside from Cowboy Neal , Pathwalker has the lowest I can recall _ever_ seeing actually posting something. (Not to say it hasn't happened mind you, I just don't recall seeing it.) Mine is in the six digits, and fairly high in the six digits at that and I've always wondered if there was any way to get a smaller one. My logic is that of the first thousand UID's ever assigned, not all of them may still be in use, leaving such sought after low numbers available for newcomers like myself should we prove worthy. Being a BOFH fan, my plans for getting a low UID have revolved around bribery, since I assume that any true geek would be hard to blackmail. This upcoming party and prizes deal suggests a possible alternative route to attaining that coveted low UID, simply winning it. How about it CowboyNeal, CmdrTaco Jamie McCarthy, Krow, Pudge and Hemo? What say you go through the user lists and see if there isn't a nice low number from an abandoned account that can be safely given away to perhaps the user who organizes the best party on some other criteria? (Largest, most remote*, most technologically advanced etc**.) I can't seem to figure out how to pull up a sequential list of users by UID though so I can't tell if my first choice for UID's is available or not. 101010 is cool but not low enough, so I gotta go with 777. As an alternative, maybe create a utterly unique UID? I don't know details of how Slashdot creates and tracks user accounts except that for all intents and purposes there is no upper limit on the size of the number that can be assigned and that numbers are assigned sequentially. But maybe it's possible to create an alphanumeric UID? or perhaps assign a UID that is a ridiculously high number? (Come to think of it, I don't think UID 0 was ever assigned was it?) *I think Deep Penguin (73203) pretty much has that criteria locked **I know we have some users who are Google employees and Google does have a pretty strict NDA and security policy. Any gang of geeks who manage to hold a Slashdot party (with outside guests of course)in one of Google's big server farms has to have earned some kind of special recognition in my book. (Come to think of it, Google has been known to have a playful side, maybe one of you Google-ites can suggest a commemorative Google page for the event?)

My Slashdot ID is *much* lower than I thought. Get me!
I've taken out a bottle of Laphroaig and served it in a half highball glass.
I propose a toast. To discussions in the geek (intellectual) community, by far the most satisfying discussions out there. Geographic decentralization of ideas (and lame humor) enriches us all. I discovered your website in 2000, and immediately it became a staple of my daily web diet. Yet I can't help but think of other websites with a similar purpose that did not live, or will not live, to celebrate the ten year milestone. And that brings up another point - Slashdot (Sourceforge?) has been able to rise to the challenge of change and wild growth of the internet, broadening scope without compromising principles. For example, I've yet to have Slashdot treat my eyeballs as "captive", to hurl advertising at.
My personal favorites are any and all astronomy/cosmology/physics stories and discussions.
But more than anything else, in the last ten years, the powers-that-be have gone on an offensive campaign, and it is through Slashdot that many of us became aware of how our rights are being eroded, through Slashdot how many of us are up-to-date on the latest dispatches from the battlefront in the war of Corporation/State vs Citizen, through Slashdot that many of us (Slashdot readers) have slipped through the sticky grasp of the mainstream media. In other words, Slashdot fulfills an essential function in a society that takes pride in calling itself "democratic".
You've done a man's job, sir.

I've always considered Slashdot to be such a great place to read some news scoops, interesting developments, a repost or two and many a chuckle and possibly an insight or three thanks to the comments. Slashdot has a kind of life of it's own.
Yet, here's one thing I couldn't help but wonder about today...
Slashdot is seems to me is a living library, a pristine record that is also growing, of the life of a very important part of a community, that was and is responsible in part for some of the most important endeavours in a very important industry, that is changing the world we live in. Changing even what ordinary people expect - the way they think.
Slashdot is the kind of record of human striving, achievement, admonishment, celebration and good old piss farting around that Anthropologists dream of.
This Thursday coming marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik and with the perspective that we have of that event now, we can really appreciate how good and important it was and what a 133t geek Sergei Korolyov was.
I can help but wonder how people 40 years from now will appreciate the importance of Slashdot to the world they will be happy to be living in.
Just a thought.
Happy 'double figures' Birthday!

Just wanted to say that I've learned a lot from your daily email. Thanks for being part of my day and keeping me up on current geekdom. I've linked many of your articles to my non-geek friends to keep them informed about amazing stuff they shrugged off. May your persistence to push out fresh content from around the globe (even on weekends) last until at least I retire, at which time my geekdom acuteness will be able to fade. BTW - I would love to see pics of a /. party! That many geeks in one area...lights would dim and something bad would be created via a group high on caffeine and cheezy puffs...
Help, I'm trapped in a carbon-based life form.
now you have a thread of "back when I started.." and "My slashdot id is is lower then your" pissing matches. That was bad enough at the 2 year anniversary.
I think a more fair contest would be a drawing, where every ID gets an entry for each post they made that was modded to +2 or better.
Hey, who won the slashdot car?
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
I'm curious as to the number of registered slashdotters and subscribers. Anyone feel like sharing?
There are 11 types of people, those who know unary and those who don't.
I have this whole life I live, it seems, only in my head.
From my soundless, infrequent posts on Slashdot to my muted cheers of victory while playing Yahoo Graffiti, I never realize that there are somethings I never say out loud. Words like Slashdot, Wikipedia, Voldemort, even my own blog name, have virtually no place IRL for me.
To hear others speak those words aloud (the only one to do so regularly is Stephen Colbert) is always a jarring experience but there is always a small, silent feeling of hope that one day my life online and my RL world will be bridged.
So, money or no, I think I may throw a Slashdot party of my own. To speak aloud and be brave enough to share, finally, what the last five years of near-lurking here have taught me.
1. Censorship is always wrong and useless.
2. There's always more than one way to do something - explore the possibilities - and they are endless - preferably with as many of your geek friends as possible. Bring beer.
3. Posting your cell phone number on Slashdot, surprisingly, will only get you replies for your furniture and nothing more.
4. Know when the simplest solution is the best solution - and know how to convince your clueless boss when you're right.
5. Cowboy Neal is always the best answer to any poll.
6. Microsoft is not always wrong but mostly they are.
7. Google used to be cool but now they are scary.
8. Linux and other open source resources should never be dismissed out of hand but bring their own brand of headaches.
9. Never leave home without at towel.
10. Information is a powerful tool. Use it often, well and wisely.
Live long and prosper Slashdot.
.... you *are* old.
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
Nope, some of us still lurk. :)
Happy Birthday Slashdot!
Wow...
It's really been 10 Years for Slash Dot, amazing.
I found /. while it was still B&W text, several weeks before it went "Color" (anyone remember when that was?).
I lost my first user password after a hard drive crash, and now can't even recall what my username was.
I've been coming here every morning since then, and have had endless hours of laughs (trolls & newbies), and even gleaned some actual advice, and enjoyed an intellectual discussion or two.
So I'm gonna host a party on the Mendocino coast of California
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLASH DOT !!!
If it don't GO... chrome it. ~ Frank Banks
That's actually kind of creepy.
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
I have no doubt that 40 years from now they will still be waiting on their flying cars. Slashdot, in and of itself, will just show how primitive technology is today, and ten years ago. They'll probably think we had too much time on our hands.

There is no way to add oneself to the attendees for the party. I even checked the HTML source in case it was just a problem with my eyesight. Judging by the number of 1 attendee parties I can see, I suspect it is not just me having this problem.
Sorry, have worked out that the Attend button is at the bottom of the list of parties, not with the description of the party itself. With a long list, that is not exactly obvious.
Hi folks, we had our /. birthday party here in Budapest. We even had a real geek birthday cake. See our photos
I want to be on 2 parties. They are not on the same date. But the system won't allow me to sign up for more than one party...
Ok, so we've had our party, and pics are going up on the web. Now what? I obviously missed out on a t-shirt. But - who do I send pics/links to to go in the draw for the grand prize?
