Slashdot's Disagree Mail
Traditionally the Slashdot community has had a harsh view of Microsoft, its software, and especially its management. All the more reason for us to become pawns in the evil Windows army, and it would have worked if it wasn't for this guy and his irrefutable statistics.

"I can't understand how you managed to convince so many *smart* people that you support the open source and free software movement. It couldn't be more obvious that you sold out to Microsoft in 2004. I've kept careful records of your stories for many years and I've got the evidence. Pre-2004 showed a negative Microsoft story rate of 87% and a positive Microsoft story rate of 13%. From 2004 until today the negative story rate has crashed to a mere 62% while the positive story rate has climbed to 38%. Am I to believe that a 25% increase in positive stories is not significant. When i comment on this trend I get marked as a troll, nice. I suppose that is a coincidence to. Good work I'm sure the current political administartion will own you soon. I used to enjoy your message before it became Bill and Bush's."
With the failing health of Steve Jobs, we thought it would be the perfect time to get firmly entrenched into the Apple hierarchy. It's a shame that our rabid love for Apple and all its products made our actions so transparent.

"Apple sure does pay good don't they! Is there anyone not on the Apple payroll at Slashdot? If you're going to become an Apple mouthpiece you might want to try and hide it better! How much does a frontpage Slashdot story cost anyway? I hope it's a lot. If you're going to become Apple whores you might as well get paid well. Just know that I know it's rotten to the core!"
I have to give him credit for the, "rotten to the core" Apple thing. Usually the rants I get aren't so poetic. Most of the time they are rambling and confused, like this.

"I noticed today that many Slashdot stories are listed on Google. I thought you were supposed to be a neutral internet party? I can't believe what you have as "news" if you are in cahoots with the "do no evil" gang. Almost everything I used to believe in is on Google now I was hoping that Slashdot would be strong enough to resist the Google money pool but I guess I was naive. Google is going to slowly absorb everything is that ok with you? it doesn't seem so bad when your playing volleyball or bringing your cat to work but it is. A cat is no trade for integrity. Look back at what you used to stand for and not greed or I will have to find a news source that hasn't been swallowed by Google."
It's obvious that anyone that doesn't have a robots.txt with Disallow: / is on Google's pay roll!
Mod me up, mod me down, do your worst you modding clown.
That's just what Google wants us to believe, since clearly someone has caught on to the conspiracy!
You are working for the LHC too arent you.. I knew it the world IS going to end!!!!!!
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same

I believe it's "mis-used apostrophe's"
Life is rarely fair. Cherish the moments when there is a right answer.
Now I really want to bring my cat to work. "Kitty no! Get out of the AS/400!"
Seriously. A cat is no trade for integrity.
Yeah, this disagree mail segment thing has run it's course.
Kill it.
I suggest that you mail this request in to the slashdot editors. I understand the read their email diligently.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Mis-used the apostrophe's what?
What about an integra?
...cause I've always wanted a kitty.
Lose: misplace or fail || Loose: not bound together
Damn. What's a cat worth then? I have a few of the rascals running about, and am willing to trade!

The best way to accomplish that goal will probably be with an angry email or two.
This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
Has an email server ever been slashdotted?
...Google is going to slowly absorb everything...

Seriously. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Give me five bees for a quarter', you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah...the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war; the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Come on; if Google were going to get into the business of absorbing things, surely we'd be seeing Google Shamwow! or something along those lines.
Google Black Hole (Beta), obviously. Bet you didn't know they'd been pouring money into the LHC.
Right between "-1: Nigga Please!" and "+1 Fo' Sho!"
Do not despair. It is not very glamorous.
Dude, my UID gets me chicks! ..... Just not the ones that I'd want to date..... :(

I am so totally making that my motto. In fact, I'm adding it to my sig right now!
My motto: "A cat is no trade for integrity."
And I thought any chick would do for the people who post here ;-)
Good advice there!
