The Star Wars Kid Is Back
An anonymous reader writes "It was eight years ago that Ghyslain Raza slashed his way into our hearts with his Star Wars Kid video. Sadly, Raza suffered from severe bullying and abuse for his video and eventually ended up in a psychiatric ward for children. However, his video was seen 1 billion times and multiple thousands of geeks came immediately to his defense. While those must have been the worst years of his life, things are now looking up."
As I recall, there was a group of people who contributed to buying him an iPod as a way of trying to show that not everyone who saw the video was laughing at him. Any idea whether he got it? TFA doesn't mention it.
Of course, he is lawyer now.
Ain't this fate of most bullied nerds? They get attractive ... jobs later. (And opportunity for "lolno, not dating you" to what where popular girls at school)

Yep, they're all evil until YOU need one to help you navigate the law, or until the EFF uses them to fight for your rights.
Speaking as someone who got charged with a crime he didn't commit, my lawyer saved my ass.
There's also NewYorkCountryLawyer to consider. Not all lawyers are evil ambulance chasers you know.....
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
It's because they are submitted on time, but the editors are so fricking lazy that things will sit waiting for submission for a week at a time.
Honestly, it's not that hard to dig through the submissions, I have looked at the firehose and they are not getting 80 submissions a second.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
So why do we keep electing these bozos?
Douglas Adams explains it much better than I ever could.
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
Slasdot's Admins and Editors don't read Slashdot anymore. If they did, they would have noticed the criticism years ago and mended their ways.

/. has never been a news breaker, except for things like CmdrTaco's proposal, Segan's meltdown over bombing Iraq and CmdrTaco's forced WoW name change.
