How many of you non subscribers were innundated by slashdot ads for geek dating this week?

Not that I can't blame slash for doing it (so many freeloaders like me around) but why the sexy unrecognizable models?

They could have used recognizable geek chicks, like the BSD devil girl, or killcreek, but ohhh no they had to use some professional models.

And where were the men in these ads? Why is slash only trying to appeal to the male geeks?

I did this a
few months back. I had to use a black background for the theme because the
client wouldn't have it any other way.

Personally I think it's a great idea. Discuss.

C'mon editors, you either haven't gotten to it yet or considering it. It's a good trolling topic that will get people thinking and typing.

This is a comment I made quite a while back, thread "Why nerds are
unpopular"

I distinctly remember this comment was at +5. Somehow it's been modded
to 2 "troll" by the moderators after moderation and comments were disabled on
the story.

Fuck you hemos/malda/michael and the rest of you slashdorks. If you don't
like the "Social misfit nerd" type on slash, just tell me, i'll stop posting
forever. You're the only one's that could have modded this post after
comments were disabled, I want a explaination.

Don't let the pesky RPC worms going around take all the bandwidth from windowsupdate.

This saturday we should try and hog all the windowsupdate packets that we can, show no mercy!! HAHAHAHAA

Has really got me down. I sort of stayed away from commenting on slash for a while, but recently I made a few posts and people have been hating on them like motherfuckers.

I have no problem getting a +4 or 5 score, but then it turns into a hatefest.

3 comments in paticular, the acrobat isn't wonderful, my smartcard=sales ply, and finally to all the people saying get rid of windows. What the fuck is wrong with these idiots?

I've been staying up till dawn lately, I better cut out the Mtn Dew or i'll become a slashdot "click refresh" vampire.

My brain feels fried...

Since my layoff 2.5 years ago, the best work i've been able to find is a friday night job as a bouncer at a karaoke bar. I like karaoke, it's good stuff, good fun.

Anyways I started reading about this thing called MP3+G. Basically it's a way to covert your CDG karaoke disks over to an MP3 format while still preserving the karaoke lyrics. The software components for the system are simple, winamp + CDG plugin, all free shit.

So I spent the last week using a borrowed plextor drive plus my own (one of the few drives that can read a CDG disk) converting the bar's CDG collection into MP3+G. What a fucking nightmare, 12 hour days of ripping CD after CD until I had their collection complete.

Yesterday I installed the whole mess running on a PIII500 and a dual display video card at the bar. People were very impressed to say the least. I still have some work to do on the machine though, like locking down the filesystem and user accounts so nobody can get in and inadvertantly fuck things up.

Well now's your chance to meet 'ol toq if you live in the bay area. My bar (7 Bamboo) is on the corner of 4th and Jackson street in San Jose and I can usually be found there Friday night throwing out the smelly bums that walk around stealing peoples beer off their table. I do my best to keep the swirly drunken construction worker types outta there, and keep it down to us geeks.

Anyways, i'm looking for any extra brain power I can find on this project, the systems installed now, it just needs "tweaking" Just come down, check it out, and if your idea sounds usefull or applicable i'll throw it into the system.

The editors have again blessed me with the power to abuse the system :P

Are the pages looking funny to any of you?

Some of you may or may not know, I use windows as a primary desktop. I've
been on top of MS releases since 95 (unless u can count dos 3.3 through 6.22) No
negative zealotry comments please, I have my reasons and lets just leave it at
that.

So gaim has been
released for windows. Way cool! What is gaim? Well, I discovered it
a while back, when I decided to give RH8 a try as a desktop for 3 months.
It's a better instant messenger client than anything out there because of it's
interoperability between all the IM protocols out there. Out of all the
things I enjoyed during my 3 month RH8 gaim was #1 on my list, so much so I
installed it on my linux server and used
reflectionX to run the application in a remote X display.

I've been on the net since mosaic 1, I didn't actually realize that, but that
slash article confirmed this for me. Damn, 10 years....

The problem though has been people change e-mail addresses, but with instant
messaging this hasn't been a problem. I could stay in touch will all my "net"
friends without too much hassle.

Of course, IRC bleh exists. I used it for everything from chatting to
warezing, yay it sucks.

So for 10 years, i've gone through times where I either dropped contacts when
I switched to other IM clients, or I was running multiple clients, or I was
saying fuck this I aint runnin shit no more because it's a pain in the ass.
Then came Gaim :)

I gotta shower for work, gotta run soon. Oh, here's some
old school fun i've been playin with the
past week :) Doom II kicks ass with dynamic lighting and true quake models.
