countertrolling's Journal: Are the Slashdot site maintainers on strike?

Like, what's up? Is somebody putting the infinite monkey theorem to the test for real? Are professionals being enjoined from working here? Leaving just a bunch of pretty boys playing doll house with the facade while the scaffolding crumbles? Such a sad state of affairs.. The place is collapsing like a Minnesota bridge..

A D/F# G D/F# G D/F# G D/F# A

I like the monkeys theory

Front page has now apparently resurrected itself - is it a zombie front page?

Hard choice - slashdot, Dancing With The Stars (with Samantha Armytage) or Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (briz31)

is it a zombie front page?

Doesn't really matter. At this point, the treatment is the same either way: A bullet to the head.

I was about to say that you're supposed to use the wooden stake through the heart, before I realized I was confusing zombies with vampires..

I now figure that we just don't generate enough revenue for the site owners to give a shit anymore.. so they're gonna to let the zombie spammers take over.. There's no place in the 'new' mass media for the curmudgeon who doesn't buy the latest Apple/Google product of the week

Strike? Surely you jest

[damn_registrars]

The conservatives here at slashdot would never take part in, or have any tolerance for, such an action. Unless of course it was an Ayn Rand-inspired strike, but they'd really have to contort to apply that here.

Does not compute... When the money comes fast and easy, even I become 'conservative'...
