National "Take Your Computer To Work" Day 40
An anonymous reader writes "Today marks the inaugural 'Take Your Computer to Work Day'. First conceived by security researchers Michael Gough and Ian Robertson (the Thoughtful Hackers), this day has exploded in popularity and has now become a world-wide phenomenon. Says Mr. Robertson of its introduction, 'We always hear stories of how much productivity people gain by using their own mobile phones and tablets at work – by some studies, as much as 110%. We thought, wow, that is so smart and has absolutely no downsides. The next logical extension of that is to offer all our workers to bring in any of their computers, so we did.' 'The results were absolutely astonishing', said Mr. Gough. 'We were seeing user productivity up at least 0.5 times with Commodore 64's alone. Our database searches got faster with home-built white-box servers, and our janitorial staff was able to clean the restrooms twice as fast thanks to their TRS-80's.'"

It's the time of year when editors purposely drive readers away from their own site with drivel.

This is your worst April Fools joke ever. Not only isn't it funny, it has made Slashdot entirely unusable. In the past at least once you saw the joke there was a way to "turn it off" and get the normal site. I hope you enjoy all the reduced ad revenue and lost page views today. Was it worth it? This is almost enough to make me consider not returning.
