I LIKE SLASHDOT. I don't like stuipid articles like this. But it seems that articles like this appear a little more often every week. i'm voicing my opinion that it was better before. If i didnt like/. i wouldnt be here. If you don't like Microsoft, Stop using a computer. But wait, Microsoft is only part of the computer industry...WAIT..i can dislike microsoft and still like computers??? HOLY FUCKING SHIT. its a revelation. Just as i can like slashdot and think this article is pure fucking shit.
No, I just think that Andover bought stock in Dilbert. But we've got the same idea of I'm only coming here anymore out of habit, they have no useful or interesting stories anymore. But i don't want to stop coming to/. because of that, i want them to go back to their intelligent and interesting stories. But i guess thats too much to ask.
What does that have to do with the color? If they bought it because it was the right computer for themselves...no problem. They should advertise it for its easy setup and ability to get online easily, not the color.And i doubt anyone can have a problem shopping for a burrito.
Im not saying that he is taking advangtage of everyone else. Sure he has the right to do what he is doing. I just don't see how Dilbert and burrito's are relevant. If they made a Ford Mustang with a linux logo on it, would you buy it? Sure its a great idea to make money, and im not questioning that. I'm questioning the rationality and common sense of those that would buy it. You remember when you were a kid and you wanted the kid's meal from the restaurant that had the best toy that week? Thats what this amounts to. When I have kids, I want them to outgrow that mentality.
If he was in it purely for the money he wouldn't be selling health food Why is that? It only makes it "notable" or "different" which causes more attention, which gives more free advertising, which in turn gives him more money. You should suggest Dilbars and Dogbars to him. He would probably jump on it.
Im not saying "trying to make money" is wrong. I just wish that if he wanted to make a health food burrito, he wouldnt use his dilbert fame to push it. And if i bought it, it would be because i liked the burrito and/or wanted to try the burrito, not because it has anything to do with dilbert (which it doesnt..except for the brand)
I do have an anti-commercialism attitude. But you are confusing that with an anti-capitalism attitude. Which isn't the case. I would see these burrito's in the store. There is no need to/. it. How many of you thing people who buy IMAC's just because they like the pretty cases are stupid? Now..how many of you who think that if you bought a burrito because it had dilbert's face on it is stupid? If Emeril or Julia Child was on the wrapper, it would be different. Not fundamentally, but atleast relevant. How many of you are going to vote for this candidate or that because your favorite athlete/celebrity backs them?
I meant like a little box next to the article where/.'ers could choose how well they liked the article or not. Then if all the Astronomy articles get low numbers,/. would say...hmm...maybe we shouldn't post Astronomy articles as much, since like you said 10 articles a day. Great, now we have/.ers who decided that they should control what news I read No, they provide feedback to the peole who control what articles are posted. And article about a new John Grisham book might not go over well on/.,people show that in their votes/moderations whatever you want to call it, and shit like that doesnt appear anymore or as often. It's a very strange and obscure idea...democracy.
No, thats about.com I'm just sick of all this consumerism. Sure i don't have to read it. But if any of you are in college like myself, You've noticed all this crap EVERYWHERE. Credit cards, web sites, magazines, crap, crap , crap. If you think this story is relevant because it deals with dilbert, and dilbert deals with geeks...i pity you. Im going to make a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ready made salad. And all of you who like the books can buy it because Zaphod Beeblebrox's heads are on the logo After it gets/.'ed of course. But, what's the point of that?
DeXtR is stating his opinion, i can respect that. But mr. won't even sign his stupid post is just being a troll since he didn't get his l33t first post.
I agree with you. I also only click the articles that interest me. But this one REALLY annoyed me. you stated that there were over 132 comments posted, but how many people agree that this article is stupid but just decided to pass it over? I think perhaps a rating system would help out/. tremendously. You could "moderate" the articles you like up and those you thought irrevelant down. Then the average/.'er opinion would be known. Then i could deal with stuff like this if thats what the average/.'er wanted. Or better put, I would stick with daemon news.
Hey Einstein....Maybe if we bitch about it, they will stop posting stupid articles like this. If we don't bitch, then we can't bitch when/. turns into nothing but this kind of crap.
Oh i forgot that/. is perfect./. can't ever post anything that shouldn't be posted. I like most of the/. articles. I just have a problem with ones like these. Sure the Aibo is also a product like this stupid burrito. But its getting its attention from itself. Not the fact that Sony is making it. It also relates to technology. Its NEW. Taking something popular and slapping its logo on something else to sell it, on the other hand, isn't new. It isn't technological, and is pretty much crap. If./ had an article about Natalie Portman brand Cola, i would bitch. If there was an article about Dilbert Brand PC's, i wouldn't. See the difference? You probably don't.
I guess i mistook the average/.'er to be intelligent. Your spelling, grammar, and opinion helped me see my mistake. You've shown me the light. I won't make that mistake again.
Then have an article about Dilbert the cartoon. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Dilbert and food don't exactly match. The same if Coca Cola made a cartoon/tv show. This isn't news. Its an AD.
Ahhh...books...Why would they put books on slashdot? PERHAPS THEY ARE GOOD FUCKING BOOKS. I guess the idea of intrinsic value is too complicated for you to understand. The books are good...because they are good in terms of what a good book should be. This, once again, is "good" enough to be on/. because it carries the dilbert name. How many articles are on/. a day on average? Most of them are interesting. Now subtract 1. Thats one less interesting article that can get posted.

You do have a point. I should block the vacuum icons, because they are articles that suck.
Look at this brainiac.

#1 yea you're intelligent
#2 Thats the problem, But if it doesnt accomplish anything...stop whining about microsoft. It doesn't accomplish anything. (sarcasm)
#3 Converted from what exactly? its a nice cliche, but stupid in your reply.
#4 But this isn't a cool toy. Its a stupid marketing ploy to take your geek money. I guess you bought all the Jar-Jar toys as well.
