Guide to Slashdot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the funny-as-hell dept.

calibanDNS pointed us to unOfficial H4X0r'$ Guide to Slashdot. This is one of the funniest bits I've read in recent memory. It's nice to get a good belly laugh on a friday afternoon, and this one will provide it.

  1. Okay, now I'm frightened by Powers · · Score: 5
    No, not because of the article. I'm frightened because I'm starting to be able to read '1337 5p34k' without having to think about it.

    Now that's scary.

    • Gotta have something about selecting all of the modular slashboxes for your user account, just so you can drag slashdot to a screaming halt and waste other lusers time.

    • Don't forget the HUGE cryptic geek blocks or arbitrarily complex self-decrypting perl code that prints "Hi Mom!" when executed. Use this as your signature.

    • Post everythign as html formatted, and leave an unterminated font modifier tag at the begining of the message.

    • use gratuitous

      <BR>

      tags to make your

      document seem really long (and therefore important)

    • graduly hvae the spellnign and grammar deterate by arbitrly omitng vwls nd missplng wrdz.

    • use lots of cryptic abbreviateions and assume people understand what you're talking about.

    • don't justify any of your arguments. if someone responds asking you to support your statements, respond by posting 200 anonymous messages making derogatory comments about the poster's mother.

    Well, this at least exposed a bug on /.

    The subject of this message was supposed to be "(Score: -80,000)" without the quotes. But as you can see /. makes it go away entirely, thus leaving nothing to click on in the list. A tad annoying I'd say.

    Obviously it's looking for a (Score: xxx) type of thing at the end of the Subject line, but if there's nothing in front of that, it just leaves an empty subject.

    Still, very funny.

    Inspiration just struck, I don't know why.

    Mirror, mirror, on the 'Net,
    What's the geekiest site yet?
    "Stuff that Matters," "News for Nerds,"
    Aren't just empty slogan words.
    Linux, Windows, BSD,
    All discussed bellig'rently.
    Mirror, mirror, on the 'Net,

    Yet Slashdot's feared, or so it seems,
    By webmasters of modest means.
    For if there should appear a link
    On Slashdot, then lo! Ere a blink
    Of time should pass, thousands of geeks
    Will click on it. And then, such creaks
    Of servers grinding to a halt:
    Those 404's are Slashdot's fault!

    And so, oh mirror, duplicate
    My page, lest it evaporate.
    For Slashdot linked to it, you know,
    And now my server's awfully slow.

    Hope you enjoyed it.

    Y'know guys, I think somehow I'm being robbed by this. I just realized that I wrote the article, and submitted it about a week ago, and didn't get anything. Now CalibanDNS submits it, and HE'S going to get a free T-Shirt. What's the world coming to?!? I would so desperately like a free T-Shirt. It's getting cold where I live, and I don't have anything to wear, since Natalie Portman ate my hot grits.
