Slashdot

So I was going to make a new account for myself and do a little trolling, just to see what it was like. It took me forever to find an ID that /. would accept, then the one I got, Pirogoeth, was just too cool to defile by using it for trolling. So now, I'm just curious to see how long it takes to get my Karma back up to "Excellent".

I did find out something interesting about the /. moderating system. I logged back into this account to write this JE and found that I had mod points, so I went into one of the comments I made in a journal and modded it up. I then went to mod up a second entry and found that all the comments had a mod drop-down except for mine. Must be a built-in safeguard to keep people from doing pretty much what I had planned. Good planning, actually.

So if you faithfully keep track of your fan lists, know that now I am doubly your fan! ;-)

Regarding the President's speech Wednesday night, is it just me, or is it just flat out arrogance to introduce Bush as "The Leader of the Free World"?

No wonder other countries hate us...
