Slashdot Mirror
Saturday Night Special Quickies
First off, some star wars:
kit sent us a link
to Star Wars Pez
and Bartman sent us
a link to a cheesy Redneck Jedi
joke page.
Next,
JoshH sent us a link
to a page tracking the Stock of Linux companies.
rde sent us
proof (albeit somewhat flimsy) that ancient Slashdot readers
Lived on Mars
(requires registration).
d sent us a link to
superbad which is
at least as bad as you might think. Super too.
Finally,
Marc Merlin sent us
a link to his
LWCE Picture Page
which includes a peak at the Slashdot Booth. Oh, and if you can see this and
are logged in to your Slashdot account, check out
this page to
beta test some stuff that should be finished by monday.
I thought it was cute. :shesh:
/. :) Think Starwars. Find Something Starwars, no matter how obsurd. :grin:
Atleast I found the secret to getting on
-Bartman
Off looking for a "Feces that looks like Darth Vader" page.. I know there's got to be one out there....
Jeez. What the hell is that site? It looks like someone was bored and just threw together HTML examples from a book.
Superbad looks like
www.jodi.org! ROCK!
Superbad,s ok but http://www.jodi.org is GREAT!!
I live across the bay in Fremont. I'm paying exactly $1000/month for a 1br apartment. Just a data point.
Suppose I make a reasonable post, a quite well-thought-out one. But I know that the audience is (mostly) moronic, that my post will be misunderstood and will trigger a flame war.
Am I trolling?
better
I don't even have to wear shoes at work(in sili valley). Tell me I look constipated. :)
Anyway, I don't have to wear a coat at this time of year, either
The solution, my friends, is shared housing. Get 2 or 3 other people. You can get a house in a swanky place like Palo Alto and each be paying less than a G a month for more space, a better environment, etc. It's not impossible. I've done it twice before with different groups of people. And it's so much better than living alone. Hell, with a few other people you might even be able to split the cost of a DSL and make it a realy rockin place!
I have to wonder whether their software notices that one account gets like 5000 accesses per day?
ha ha 2 br w/ garage in el cerrito: 825
No bars on windows either.
El Cerrito != da valley
El Cerrito is Berkeley Lite.
man who's the red head in the both with Malda
she's my girlfriend... got a problem with that?

I don't get the joke about ancient slashdotters on Mars.
that joke was so sophisticated, only multicellular life forms would understand...
Hey baby, I've been looking at your pictures, and you make my pussy wet!
Rob - I want to meet you someday. Please look at my nude pictures, I will email them to you.
Better Solution:
Live as cheaply as you can; save for a down
payment. Stop paying rent as soon as possibly
can. Buy a house, no matter how crummy it looks.
Rent is ransom.
Payments on a mortgage or usually cheaper, and
at least give you equity in a place.
Start saving today, no matter how small an
investment.
OK. I want to see one of you 14 year
olds find something flawed in this logic.
You start dying as soon as you are born. Live for today. Don't be a slave to money. Have some fun in your short life before it is snuffed out.
How's that daddy?
www.vmware.com
She told me that compared to the other booths there, /. was a LUZER. What an embarassment. Next time, get some cardboard and PAINT IT!!!
I want to add more Jedi Jokes that _I_ made up..
I hate this close proprietary web site crud!
Open Source web sites or nothing! Lets ban them!
Try disabling cookies and then do cypherpunks/cypherpunks. I can't get in if I do that. The cookies being set are quite weird too. It would seem their tracking software already gets all the information it wants from them.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after me.
and what is the deal with hell.com anyway?
What a stupid idea! I guess you have to be American to like that kind of thing.
Okay, so I'm just a poor humble AC, but dammit, I sent that link in the day it came out!
/. account so's I can get some respect in this world.

...gotta get me a
Rob -- Good work. Everything seems good, but somehow I got Slashdot Lite, when I didn't check the box.
Jodi.org is evil.
i dunno i think she looks good and i get out, but i also have a thing for redheads so yes i agree with the anonymous coward
Just WTF is ``superbad'' about.
OW... It hurts. It hurts!!

PS: Yet, somehow I am strangely stimulated.
Thankfully there are still things in this universe which get me to LOL. Thanks /. .

I've been pulling small candies from Darth Vader's and Yoda's esophagus for over a year now.
I grab a candy and reflect upon Master Yoda's wisdom.
VENI! VIDI! VICI!

I agree. And if you think superbad is cool then don't miss jodi.org.
Now I've got Dust Puppy right at the top!
I did encounter a couple of problems. First, for some reason the "CmdrTaco's Links" box doesn't appear when you select it. Second, it is easy to munge the ordering of the boxes. When you reload the page, if you don't watch the url it will repeat the last command and send the last sidebar box adjusted up or down another slot. Easy to fix, though, it is somewhat tedious to get everything in the order you want when you have nineteen sidebar boxes selected.
The only big suggestion I have is to revamp the preferences interface, the checkboxes could be replaced with a series of pulldown menus so that the user could directly select the ordering of the sidebar boxes. There would be the added benifit that one could have multiple Dust Puppies all the way down the side of the page!
"Remember, there never were pineapple-almond cookies here."
only 1000? can you please give me directions to this place? My rent is over 1G a month and i have a 1 bedroom apt, tho i live down the street from SGI, Sun and others so the realestate is prime...go figure
seen those jokes and sorry...not funny then, not funny now...oh WELL
Notice all the guys who live in Silicon valley look high strung and constapated while the guys from Michigan and outer mongoo look relaxed. Maybe if rent wasn't $1000 per month and the sales tax wasn't 8.5% in San Jose you could live there and live at the same time, but then Metamucil would go out of business.
Yes, much more convenient then scrolling...

Hehehe.. I was wondering for a moment why the link appeared in Netscape and Lynx, but I too highlight as I read, so...
Just use cypherpunks/cypherpunks if you don't want to register to the NY Times.
I'll just say that it's one of the best Web Sites With No Real Reason For Existance® that I've ever seen in my life.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am so glad that I am not the only one that does that.
Indeed, superbad is the shit. Those who use the web should hang heads in shame if superbad doesn't get beyond a nomination for the Webbies. Not that anyone cares what The Man thinks, anyway.
I forget what 8 was for.
It would seem to me that I saw this Jedi Redneck

1G a month? Damn. Even Bill Gates couldn't live there for a couple months. He only has 50GBucks.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
it doesn't work if you're sane enough to have javascript disabled.. and then if you enable it it's just another site designed to screw with your mind. fun for 5 minutes, but not a new idea... jodi.org wins, though.
Maybe so, but at least she has the good taste not to date you...

There are always four sides to every story: your side, their side, the truth, and what really happened.
There's about sentences and links in this story that are colored white just like the background, and are thus invisible. An attempt to make slashdot into a fun and addicting game of find-the-link, an incredible simulation of the world wide web before CRT existed, or a simple mistake? You be the judge.
Scuttlemonkey is a troll
You need to get out more guy! She's super skanky
Scuttlemonkey is a troll
I dunno about most people but I would think that if it's a legitiment comment and not a comment made out of stupidity and/or the desire to just piss people off you wouldn't be trolling
I'm confused... what part of USWorst runs on Linux? I know it isn't their Internet side, because that's all FreeBSD?
Maybe a better answer to that would be "Companies who are contributing to the growth of Linux", which would still include like Applix, Corel, etc., but would not have us looking at every single company in the world that runs Linux somewhere. Let the growth of the "index" be tied to the success of the promoters...
I couldn't help but notice that the C3PO dispenser is conspiciously absent from the collection.
...but doesn't Marc Merlin look an awfully lot like Mr. Bean?

as far as websites with no real point, superbad takes top honors. i really enjoyed it.
I never thought it would pay to select text while I read. :)
Some of the sidebar boxes are wider than others. Yeah, yeah, obsessive compulsive disorders aside, I've noticed my Linux Netscape makes form text-boxes bigger than my Windows Netscape.
How does Beoing contribute or use Linux?
I guess they will as that's the entire reason for having accounts. But it could be posssible that they know what's going on but decide to turn a blind eye as at least it'd be visitors to the site that they wouldn't have otherwise.
Cool Linux PC Badges!
Ingrid (the babe at Metro FM) says I'm ugly. The great thing about working on the radio is it doesn't really matter. For the brave my picture is on the Metro FM website.
But how does a pic of Rob make your cat turn wet?
Cool Linux PC Badges!
On the page of pics from the Linux conference. There's a picture of a Windows virtual machine running on RedHat Linux. It looks impressive. Does anyone know what the advantages/disadvantages of the Windows VM are compared to WINE and does anyone have any idea where I can find out more about the Windows VM (URL)
Cool Linux PC Badges!
yeah.... i noticed that too.... what a rip... ;) and i think i got 'em for like $0.99 each or something :) )
('course i don't care... i picked up all 5 over a year ago... still have them sealed
A company I recently worked at was looking at commercial spaces in that vicinity. And I thought the residential real estate was expensive! Geez. In two years it's going to be up there with Sand Hill Road as far as overpriced real estate goes. If only Mtn. View and the other valley towns would change their zoning to allow for higher-density commercial development (read tall buildings) they wouldn't be in this mess. Increase density, make the VTA not suck, and then maybe things would be reasonable. Until that time comes, why not live in San Francisco? You can take the train to work, provided you're near it. A small loft in Potrero beats a pad in San Jose on any day of the week, except the day that you have to pay rent :)
Agreed. I would say trolling would be defined as *intentionally* starting a flame war. What he's referring to is dissenting from the slashdot canon of belief. It's like the difference between having a political protest against some stupid thing the government is doing, and having a protest where you burn Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich in effigy. One is meant as an intelligent thought-provoking measure, the other is just to cause trouble. I hope I don't inadvertently start a flame war about whether or not you should be allowed to burn the flag. :)
