  1. Dear Taco Panties on New Animated Dr. Who Series · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dear Taco Panties,

    It's time to upgrade your Internet Explorer 3.0!
    Microsoft has already released version 6.0. And
    guess what... it comes with Flash 6.0 as well!
    Prince said 1999 was a great year (I mean, with
    Flash 4.0 and all), but it's time to upgrade,
    PantyMan!

    Dear OS X users,

    There are clearly security updates posted here for 10.1 and other updates posted here for 10.2.

    Dear 9/11,

    It has come to our attention that your moniker is valid only in the United States. The rest of the world properly refers to September 11th as 11/9. Not quite as catchy, huh? Be glad that you exist only in the United States.

  13. Dear Slashdot Readers on Protein Researchers Win Nobel Prize In Chemistry · · Score: 1, Funny
    Dear Slashdot Readers,

    Due to a buffer overflow problem in my Outlook preview pane, someone was able to steal the source for SlashCode! Please note that they were only able to steal the source code that runs Slashdot, and not the actual content on Slashdot. Because of this unfortunate event, we have to shut down and re-code the network portions of SlashCode to avoid the inevitable trolling that might occur now that our source code is in the wild. The site will become progressively slower as we remove servers from our racks one-by-one. We hope to be back up by April of next year.

    Apologies,
