Free LWCE Exhibits Passes!

Posted by Hemos on from the cheezy-give-aways dept.

Well, the nice folks over at LWCE have sent us a bunch of free Exhibits-Only badges for LinuxWorldExpo (which Linux-HW has made possible for Rob and I go to)-that's the one in San Jose, March 2-4, for the Expo. Again-note this is only an Exhibits pass-so don't try and claim more then that, or Rob'll show you his chest. Eck. Anyway, I'll ship these out to the first fifty people to send me a stamp and an adhesive label with their name and address on it. Click below to get the address-and we hope to see you there.

  1. and (more importantly) thousands of stamps by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0
    Of course, each of those will come with a stamp.

    It's an ammusing way to collect donations for their postal fund. Better than the PBS style approach.

    And of course, by the time they run out, many of us will have forgotten and they can do it again.

    and, by extension, "for Rob and me", and not "for Rob and I". Behold the effects of disdain for rules of speech - one appears to be a dolt.

    Many years from now there'll be a UL floating around the net to explain how Rob Malda wanted to beat Craig Shergold's record of "Most Mail Received." Just send a stamped self-addressed envelope to...

  4. Re: foreign readers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Forgive me if I seem pedantic, but doesn't this plan have the rather obvious drawback that foreign readers (particularly those too skint to pay LinuxWorld admission), are unlikely to be in the vicinity to attend?

    Hey! This isn't fair!
    I live in Australia, and it would take a few days for the postage to arrive.

    Are you going to give some reward to your mail carrier? He/She is going to get /.'ed with all the extra mail.

  10. Invasion of Privacy? ;-) by Augie+De+Blieck+Jr. · · Score: 1

    Doesn't anyone want to complain about how Slashdot is obviously starting some sort of mailing list with this information? They're offering 50 prizes to get thousands of names and addresses, which they will no doubt then turn around and sell to the highest bidder, by placing all those stickers on one long roll of toilet paper. They don't even have to retype all the info!

    This is on a par with the lunacy of Intel's new chips.

    That's it -- let's boycott!

    P.S. Yes, this was all done tongue in cheek. The pass would make a nice birthday present, since my b-day is March 3. But I'm not flying out to California, thanks. =)
