Slashdot Mirror
Get Your 15 Years of Slashdot Shirt (For free, Depending)
We'll be sending a passel of shirts to the crowd-sourced parties
that we hope you'll get to, and to any artists whose Slashdot logo suggestions we end up selecting. (There are nearly 30 parties planned so far, in places as far-flung as Latvia and Nigeria!) But starting today the limited edition Slashdot anniversary shirt is also available from our brethren and sistren at ThinkGeek (still, for now, serving the same corporate overlord as Slashdot). So if you can't land one of the swag ones (sorry!), you can still swathe yourself in the Slashdot livery, which isn't so different from the colors of the Vogon constructor fleet. We'll only turn 15 once, but a clever T-shirt is forever.
Update: 09/21 17:12 GMT by T : If you want to come hang out with the folks who post the stories to Slashdot day-to-day, note that Unknown Lamer is hosting a party in Raleigh, NC, Soulskill and Samzenpus will both be in Ann Arbor, and timothy will be at parties (coffee shops are awesome!) in Houston and Austin.
I'd rather have a first post T-shirt.
Please send your name, address, SSN and a donation of at least $75 to the Nigerian Party Committee (NPC). Don't worry, your information will be safe, the committee is headed by a princess who has a pile of her own money...
What kind of a geek celebrates the 15th of anything? If you had just waited until next year, we'd have a nice round number to be excited about. But 15? Meh...
They started counting with 0, of course.
I've been around for about 8 years I think, probably 18 months to 2 years before I got my Slashdot account.
Does anyone have any chart showing age of slashdot account by account ID? Something like the highest slashdot ID on Dec 31, 2001 was xxxx, highest slahdot ID on Dec 31, 2002 was yyyy? I would find that interesting.
See my journal for slashdot ID's by year. Mine created in 2005. http://slashdot.org/journal/289875/slashdot-ids-by-year
I'm assuming it's user number 419 until proven otherwise.
Just sayin...
Who on Slashdot is from Nigeria?
Is it that nice Prince who keeps sending me checks to cash for him?
If you ever wanted a punch a Slashdot editor in the face, here's your chance!
You could have just written "slashdot", but instead to reflect the editorial standpoint of this site, you use a logo including a right-leaning slash.

Dear Respected One,
GREETINGS,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of go to the slashdot party with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person I can party and do business with and by the recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Wumi Abdul; the only Daughter of late Mr and Mrs George Abdul. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus on a business deal. When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me and my younger brother HASSAN special because we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000 (Twelve Million, five hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance his from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). Sir, we are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
1) To hang out at the slashdot party.
2) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.
3) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl of 26 years.
Moreover Sir, we are willing to offer you 15% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas. please feel free to contact

Best regards.

Hmmm, the shirt seem to come in "XXXL" and "Extra-Virgin", and the store asks for the address of the buyer's mother, in case no one answers the basement door. Talk about targeted marketing! You'd think they'd also sell the shirts in-game in WoW, though ...
