He should be modded "Funny", not "Troll".
I'd mod you "Troll" if I had points right now.
Sounds like a boss I once had the misfortune of working under contract, way back in 2000. He threatened every single person under him, on a daily basis. Every colleague I knew literally wished him dead (we were young, but he behaved really arrogantly). When his mother died, we all cheered behind his back, enjoyed the four days he was absent, yet bemoaned that he didn't die as well.
I know Slashdot has many trolls, and the jokes make some people very sick. But threatening another writer (who has logged in) is a big no-no in my book, unless the writer had been trolling big-time.
I do agree, however, that posts by Anonymous Cowards are fair game.

Tintin and the Shooting Star.
Time to invent, patent, copyright, and market the TELESCOPE WIPERS (r,c,tm).
No, no, it's 52000 years and 5 seconds. You see, it takes 5 seconds to type the message (assuming the alien didn't read TFA).

Of course, if a TCP retransmission occurs, you'll need to add another 52000 years for every round trip.
Their Vanguard the "Hello Kitty" have already spread their tendrils throughout society
Whoever has a Hello Kitty + Dear Daniel matching pair, gets the babe. (The cuteness factor is indescribable.)

It's the Vogons. Don't let them read their poems to you. Run!
Well, Linux's advantage is:

Make sense. Hell is supposed to be hot, ya? The overheated bar probably opened the portal.
As for the movie, I want Sarah Michelle Gellar. In a sexy short spaghetti dress and/or microskirt, if possible.
*drool* :)
You'll also need the HEV suit.

If my calculations are correct - and I have no reason to doubt myself - my casserole in the microwave is almost done.
I've found a perfect use for you. Go check it and stay there until it's done.
What are you waiting for ... a hug?
Yeah, it took me a few minutes to get it too.
After that, I read TFA.
Of course it works. That person works full-time just for you. Your $8.95/month pays his salary.
Don't do it, Miles!
If you want to watch your children grow up, and attend their weddings ...
For heaven's sake, don't do it!
The reason that I never really seriously used Linux on my PC laptop was that Ubuntu was sluggish ...
Why don't we try Xandros Linux? (It's the one installed in some Eee PCs.)

blow the doors of the competition
... and then eat them for lunch!
With RAID-5 reaching its limits for magnetic media, a rack of these could be a viable replacement.

It's called "Zom-Be-Que". In place of sunlight, you can also use pyrotechnic flares, through the sparks don't last long.
I also heard that another cemetery (burial site) is incorporating dynamos for generating clean energy. Not sure how they power the generators, though.

Of course, any virus written by the U.S. Government goes into the public domain.
Are you okay? You didn't lose any parts, did you?
Thank you. I'm glad to participate in a time-honored Slashdot tradition.
You've just made me waste 2 hours looking at ... (I mean, *ahem* doing RESEARCH on the net), ... you inconsiderate clod!

Whoever mods you "-1" is getting an extra small turkey this Thursday!
And the AC troll shall get only turkey bones and lumps of coal!
All I do anymore is sit back in my chair and say "make it so" and die a little more inside.
Let me work for you!
I'll even wear a communications pin!
Huh?
No, no, the universe is merely a spheroid region, 705 meters in diameter.
Despite my general distaste for expensive clothing, I own some, have worn it, and have gotten dates.
What I wouldn't give, just to have a date with one of these ladies!
You, Sir, are blessed with so many good looking ladies.
The times when I was dating were some of the most stressful in my life.
Still better than us dateless ones. How we long for the experience!
You should be rated +5 Interesting!
Maybe the family was trying to be the "First" to move into a new area?
