    It's MySQL, and not YourSQL. Everyone loves owning things and calling them theirs

    Ohh.. so that's why Windows owns the desktop, because of the My Computer icon. All this time I thought it was because of robust coding and rock solid performance.

    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Michael is redundant.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot community when Netcraft confirmed that interest in stories by Michael has dropped yet again, now down to unmeasurable levels.

    Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that stories by Michael have garnered more pointless trolls, including this post, than all other editors combined. This news serves to reinforce what we've known all along: Michael is grasping at straws when posting articles. This was fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in recent polls as to Most Popular Editor.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Michael's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Michael faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Michael because Michael is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Things are looking very bad for Michael. His office is dark, the tomb-like sepulchral atmosphere is all that remains. Michael continues to lose reader interest. Goatse.cx trolls abound, their red hue colouring monitors like a river of blood.

    Michael's other project, the Censorware Project, once a glowing bastion of free speech now features a personal attack on its main page. The Censorware Project is dead, all that remains to be done is to have its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that Michael has turned Slashdot into a laughing stock when he makes juvenile, biased comments. Michael's long term survival prospects are very dim. If Michael's job at Slashdot is to survive at all, he wil be read by nothing more than granola-crunching leftists and dilettante First Amendment dabblers and hangers-on. Michael's arrogance continues to grow as Slashdot decays for it. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Michael is irrelevant.

    Fact: Michael is redundant.

  6. Re:Protection for $1000 on Shocking Clothing · · Score: -1, Troll


    Did you notice that the current price is $1000?

    The target market are radical feminists. They save that kind of money by not shaving their legs, armpits and crotch during their weekly shower. Of course by not doing so they make themselves unattractive to normal men. The real attacker they planned for are Diesel Dyke Lesbian Rape Squads. Imagine the look on their faces when they get 80,000 volts across their greasy femullets.

    Please accept this resume for your files concerning any openings

    Recently I've become newsworthy because of several operations my
    Al Quaeda teams have carried our successfully. This demonstrates

    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Mainframe techies are dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Mainframe techie community when Slashdot confirmed that Mainframe techies are aging beasts. Mainframe techie share has dropped yet again while the 20-somethings make up a large percentage of the mainframe techie target market. Mainframe techies are collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in recent Viagra and fitness tests.
