Slashdot should be a text adventure game.

A big-ass sturdy (leather, preferably) bag with lots of pockets. I got mine for $20 at Sam's club, and it's great.
I have two laptops in my bag, with room for CDs and crap like that. I even have my Spy Kids 3D glasses in there, although I can't think of any reason why they should be in there.:P
Yeah, and nothing's impressive about an engine sound on startup - hell, my little brother's "Hot Wheels" laptop has the same thing, and it was a lot cheaper.
barrapunto.org has a much better slogan: La informacion que te interesa, which means "The information that interests you". Of course it sounds better in spanish.
Slashdot Mirror

RTFA, it's in Malbolge.
Doesn't matter, your moderations get wiped out anyway.

Same thing.
anonymous because I already modded this topic
That would explain why it says: "by ottothecow (600101)".
I thought I was on slashdot, not amazon.com. Oh no!
Sounds good. As long as you don't start doing weird body mods, and you keep the racing off the street, you're cool.
:D
You should get some video of it passing a Porsche.
I use WAP to discipline unruly kids!
MAC: Recursive acronym for the mental disorder "MAC Always Capitalized". Annoying, but not dangerous.
Don't forget burned penises! Could make for a nasty lawsuit. It's better to forbid lap-top use of laptops at the event.
I have a patent on fingerprints, and if you go swapping them like that, I'm going to have to sue you for giving away my IP.
Dammit.
Eind zen you kan beeeet zem! Ahhh, you kan shoooot zem!
Do not FUD the AGP, PCI will be DOA, so STFU.
IANAL, YMMV, HAND.
The point is that Slashdot doesn't use any MS database. Assuming this is correct, they use MySQL.
"MSSQL"?
Begone, heathen!
No shit, CmdrTaco! ;)

Get a big sturdy bag and you won't regret it.
Because it has crappy battery life, that's why.

That sucks. Can you change providers?
I just did, and she said you need to take the garbage out.
Oh yeah, she won't be back until the morning.
So what the hell are you doing?

Well DUH, they're lesbians!
File transfer over Instant Messenger/IRC/Gnutella (for gnutella, just disable auto-connecting and give him your IP).
It's not that hard, as long as you both have the bandwidth (and I know he does).
