Journal SeanAhern's Journal: Buy a 3D Graphics Development Team on eBay 6
I just submitted the following story to Slashdot. In case it's rejected, I've copied it here.
Has your job been offshored? What're you doing about it? Well, these guys did something rather unusual. They offered their 3D design experience on eBay. 3 days left to get your very own 3D Graphics Development Team! They claim that 'The product of our work has touched the lives of every person who has ever enjoyed a movie, played a computer game, or watched television.' (Disclaimer: I don't even know these guys.)
Update: Man...that was fast. Rejected in under 5 minutes.
Ah, just wait an hour and submit it again. (Score:2)
(Ooh, I just hit a slashdot lameness filter! Check it out:
Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment.
It's been 19 seconds since you hit 'reply'!

Yeah, but I get tired of playing their game. I've had slashdot stories rejected so many times now, that it hasta be a really good article for me to risk rejection again. And each rejection raises the bar. Having one get shot down almost seconds after after I submit it pretty much takes the cake. I'm close to giving up completely.
Alternate approach to resubmitting stories (Score:2)
Re:Ah, just wait an hour and submit it again.
Or try waiting 8 hours and resubmit. Then hope you're getting a different editor reading the queue. I think the editors alternate with 8 hour shifts, or at least they did a couple years ago when I went to a talk that a couple of them gave.
Or you could post them in my journal which is dedicated as a home for lost stories. I haven't figured out how to get more traffic

Actually, they are selling the ability to negotiate a cointract with them...
Neat idea though.

Fair enough. I thought it worth mentioning, though.
Incidentally, why do you entitle a good number of your posts, "Moo"?

Why, i'm glad you asked...
Unlike JEs [slashdot.org], i believe that comment title's serve no purpose [slashdot.org]. Unfortunately, it seems to be required, so i just throw in my favortite word [slashdot.org]
