Journal Journal: play poker for a good cause on sunday july 17th 6
(Cross-posted to WWdN)
The final table of the 2005 World Series of Poker started at 4pm yesterday afternoon, and wasn't finished until just after 7am today. I'm not sure, but I think that's a record. I'd call Pauly to be sure, but something tells me he's crashed out until at least Sunday.
Journal Journal: Nominations 15
If you would like to nominate (or accuse) some user of astroturfing, reply here.
If you are here because you were accused unfairly, feel free to post your defense here, as well.
Some guidelines:
Journal Journal: What is the Astroturf Alert? 2
The Astroturf Alert is intended to be a signal to Slashdot readers that a user has been seen posting what looks like astroturf.
Journal Journal: What is "astroturfing"?
Astroturfing is the process of laying down a false appearance of "grass roots" support for something.
Unethical companies have used the practice to pollute Usenet, message boards, and anywhere else they can pretend to be a casual user who is a fan of the Company's products.
Journal Journal: a little help? 28
I'm sure this is just begging for vandalism (unless those douchebags have grown up and finally kissed a girl) . . . but there is an error on my Wikipedia page that needs to be corrected. I'd do it myself, but that's against Wikipedia editing policy.
Journal Journal: You got me jerkin back and forth
I know I let you tell me what to do
You were confident you know best
Now things aren't working like you want them to
Your confidence is what I detest
You got me lookin' up high
You got me searchin' down low
You got me I know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
You told me people like to suffer
You told me that's the way it is
You said that things were getting better
You said I should expect all this
You think it's funny
But what I say is true

That's funny. I once had your sister read slashdot to me while we were in bed.

Ah yes, the moderation system.
If you post something at +1 that everyone hates, your post ends up at -1. Net karma: -2
If you post something at +1 that half the moderators think is funny, and half the moderators think is overrated, your post can bounce up and down perpetually, with only the negative votes actually counting toward your karma. If you get 100 mod-ups for being funny and 100 mod-downs for being overrated, net karma: -100.
If you were at the karma cap before, now you're down below most trolls and crapflooders, and can only post twice a day, assuming your IP hasn't been banned.

Journal Journal: Starsky and Hutch 12
I just got back from Starsky and Hutch.
Surprisingly funny. I bet the DVD will be great.
Best part was how anyone in the theatre under 30 didn't get about 70% of the best jokes.
Now I'm hoping that they'll make a CHiPs movie. I wonder what other late 70s to early 80s TV shows would translate well into movies?
Oh, and if you're not watching TRIO every night, you're really missing out on some fantastic television.
Journal Journal: Writing with Open Source tools 30
There's no "Ask Slashdot" topic available for user journals, but I am intrigued by this reader's question, and I thought it was worth a try to tap into the collective wisdom of Slashdot.
Hi Wil,
you mentioned some time ago in your blog that you did a presentation on writing your book(s) using open source tools. Have you posted these slides (or whatever the medium was) anywhere?
