Blatantly off-topic, but what's this new 'free day pass' link on the top of the slashdot homepage? It's telling me to watch a commercial for a day pass. What kind of numbnuts thinks up these ideas for a geek-targeted website??
Sorry, just had to rant about this for a while;)
Oh sure, the world is full of crap, boohoo! Let's try to escape it all, and it surely will go away.
Someone else will surely fix it while we ourselves have more fun things to do!

As the writer of the article pointed out, he didn't feel the persons described were 'ordinary' enough. So here's my little story.
I've been working with computers since about when I was 14, and I graduated a computerscience study last year. But I'm no hard-core programmer, I know my way around Java and have years of PHP experience, but I find myself lacking the motivation to follow this career into a more 'heavier' profile, like becoming a C++ programmer.
For now, I've decided to start with a new study, I'm thinking of becoming an architect. With it's mix of technic and design/art it may be just the thing I've been looking for. I think it will be great building actual stuff that people can walk around in instead of building computer code that perhaps lasts a few years (maybe even fewer if it's internet-related coding).
..gamespy is a good example of a website that's become more and more obessed with loading advertisements in the site. Before the site opens, you have to sit through a commercial even. It's so bloody annoying, I wonder if pop-up blockers can stop these kind of flashy, 'on top of webpage' commercials..
First we had that whole fuss about how prolonged use of a mobile phone could cause cancer..And now, you make your head glow as well! Great..can't they invent one that uses solar power instead?
Dude...check your definition of culture. Just because European 'culture' doesn't make millions of dollars and spreads over the world, doesn't mean it doesn't have it. Culture isn't something you just shrink-wrap and export. And you're really starting to troll when you say just completely awkward stuff like 'There is imbalance here which is not good for humanity'.
Well i'd like to see YOU keep 'just above boiling temperature' hot liquids in your body with no problem. Aren't you even slightly impressed with what nature can do?
can't find a place to put this, so I might as well put it here..
For a time, my top 10 list of user comments had stuff like (5,funny) behind the topic. Now, it just shows (5,). What's going on here? Anyone else having this?
ok, COMPLETELY OFFTOPIC! But I need to know this...is there a way to play quake with mouse for looking, and keys for strafing? Like every modern 3d shooter can (and often does) ? Never been able to get it right..

If you're going to make that joke a thousands times over, please spell 'overlords' correctly.

Well, they already changed their logo...still looks kinda funny though ('logo needed!') =p
..the site now has added the following line to their 'google' entry.
"(Note that Google(TM) is a trademark of Google Technologies Inc.)"
So that should end any furthur trouble.
I remember a brilliant comic about this in a Dilbert comic book called 'Shave the Whales'.
It went like this: Panel 1:
Dilbert thinks: 'I've got to make the engineering newletter more interesting.'
Panel 2:
Still thinking: 'It needs pathos and human drama.'
Panel 3:
Dilbert reading his engineering letter to Dogbert: "How to cope with the loss of loved data..."
Dogbert: 'Wait...I better get some tissues.'
Here in europe we get black and silver

What would be better..a world in which EVERYONE had a gun, or a world where NO-ONE had a gun?
Why is only the first headline numbered '1)' and the rest not?
Ha! Who would've thought that the trolls would finally bring this place down not by posting crap, but by actually submitting duplicate stories? ;)
Salamander...K-meleon....Mozilla..do we have an obsession with reptiles?

On a related note, here is a link for the Dutch Animation Festival that will be held the upcoming weekend.

There's more to culture then entertainment.
And Evolutionism was her method.
'(only just above boiling). So what?'
Well i'd like to see YOU keep 'just above boiling temperature' hot liquids in your body with no problem. Aren't you even slightly impressed with what nature can do?
Now I can finally backup my three harddrives (80 + 40 + 20 GB) in one time!
