fireslack's Journal: Mod points.

Got mod points for the first time today. Five of them. So I start looking for some good stories that might have some meaningful posts in them. Not. Going. To. Happen. Mouse brains simulated by computers? Half a mouse brain, yawn. Solar oxygen isn't what we thought it was? Break out the calculators. Utah...nevermind. OLPC laptops to run Windows? Standard MS-Linux jumbo. Chinese Myspace?! Censorship, nothing new. NBC did something about Presidential debate.. interesting, no good posts yet though. Japanese cell phones, Starcraft 2, digital music something, Plasma shield, Black hole portals. I couldn't possible get mod points when Steve Jobs wears a Hawaiian polo, scientist attempt to prove creationism, /. tops 3 jillion users, California ceceeds from the union, Iran accidently nukes itself, or Janet Reno admits that she is, in fact, a man. Hell, President Bush didn't even say anything stupid today... what are the odds?

Maybe someone said something funny about Chinese MySpace. This sucks.

The last time I got mod points, instead of waiting for decent comments to moderate (which usually ends up with me wasting a bunch of points), I just went through my friends/fans/foes/freaks list, and started doling out points to those whose karma wasn't exactly great. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it worked out well, and I didn't have these points hanging over me for 3 days.

Not a bad idea. Since I don't have any friends/foes/fans/freaks or any other f-bombs you can be my first (lucky you).

Since I don't have any friends/foes/fans/freaks

Better get working on that. You're nobody on /. until you get a few freaks ;)
