      Could be; I nominate whoever caused the outbreak of "500 Server Errors" - having finally loaded this page on the fifth attempt. Not sure which of the Slashteam that is, but it's getting irritating as it gets worse; almost every URL I request now produces that result!

      • I see by the star next to your name that you are a subscriber. Change your URL to https:// and things will work just fine for you.

        I'll let others chime in on the conspiracy theory that subscribers and https can avoid the 500 errors.

          aHA! Thank you - seems to have solved that problem...

          More likely it just bypasses the lousy broken load balancer, getting around whatever the root problem is. I don't think I care either way, as long as it works ;-)

  • i hereby nominate myself, because i keep forgetting that i have neuro problems and therefore have to check everything i do several times over. i doublechecked yesterday but STILL somehow left the iron on when i left for work- arriving home 12 hours later, it was still on. Ceridwen could have burnt herself quite severely- not to mention the apartment could catch fire. Now i'm trying to enforce the habit of checking every outlet in the apartment every time i leave, just to avoid similar potential disasters in
    • i hereby nominate myself

      My experience suggests otherwise. :-)
    • i'll have to nominate me-self.

      BZZZT. Nomination denied. Under sentence (iii), paragraph (c), subsection 41, section Z, title MCMXII of the Slashdot Greatest Idiot Submission Code, of which I just happen to have an extant copy...

      • flattery points! you win a prize! i'll need a bit to think of it (got any requests?) because it's first bethanie's gets finished, then moncyb's owed one, and then you. Dang, people, i gotta make the points harder to get! (it'll never happen)

        • *G* My first Dragon Prize! *tap dance*

          Hmmmm, what to spend it on...I feel like those old Wheel of Fortune contestants back in the early 80s, you know, where their disembodied heads would float over this crazy selection of prizes and they had to pick something out...

          ...I could use it to improve my Snoggable Rating...nah, too selfish...or I could donate it to an urchin...nah, not selfish enough...or I could get you to reveal which pic you are...nah, I'll find out soon enough (and I think I know anyway)...

        • Ethelred! Helio called me 'Poo-poo head'!

          Now Sammy, you know what your dear old Ethelred taught you to do when someone calls you a bad name. Call Pa's lawyer and have him file suit like any normal kid.

          *mumble* Goddamn whippersnappers don't know their juicyprudentials anymore...

        • Ethelred! Sam called me 'Helio' when my name clearly is all one word and has neither spaces nor caps to imply there are seperate words!

          Ok, story time. (I recently posted this to another thread)

          My mom used to be a lunch lady to children in kindergarden. Our last name is Zimmerman. One day a kid came up to my mom saying "Mrs. Cinnamon, Mrs. Cinnamon! He keeps calling me names! My name is George but he keeps calling me Bill!"

    Of course he hasn't been active on /. for a while. But I suppose just because you disagree with someone doesn't really make them an idiot in the true sense of the word. But oh well...
  • That guy/girl is a BFAA moron. (S)He needs to get a FSoF upside the head to try to clear things up. Nearly every time I see him/her post, I want to tell him/her to PtPU.
    • because.
      • you can't be that much of an idiot - you haven't even made a spelling mistake yet.
        • That's the problem. I'm trying to make a spelling mistake to fit in better, but I just can't.

          *sigh* Doomed to be an outsider yet again...

          Cheers,

            Your status of being an outsider will fill you with enough angst to create such incredibly emotional pieces of art, at which point you will be hailed by all, and circulate in the choicest circles of the very best people, and then, no longer being an outsider, your angst will dry up, and your creativity will stop, so you will remain in the popular group, but some young uppity-up snobs will whisper behind your back that your best work was years ago, and that you've real

      Well, I don't get to Luxembourg very often... ;-)

      Though being that I'm in the home of CeBIT, I rather expect there to be an impromptu Slashdot Meetup here in March. ;-)

        Oh.... I though you would have your stack of black money in one of our accounts. Hehehehe.

        I've never went to the CeBIT. Usually it's in the workweek and it's rather hard to get off for that. It would be better if I'd get paid to go there, but what are the odds of that? ;-)
        Besides, apart from Zarf, you and me I can't think of any German slashdotters (yes, I know both Zar
