> I started using Slashdot in ‘97. I remember back then you had a cron to update the front page and we figured out you only run it every 10 minutes, so I built small shell script on my Linux desktop that would pop up a notification reminding me to reload slashdot every 10 minutes.

I did something similar but then at some point I ended up blocking slashdot.org in my hosts file because it was killing my ability to focus or get work done. I need a beowulf cluster of attention at work.

I used to have one of those! Sadly, Natalie Portman filled it with hot grits.


It makes my heart swell to know there are still those out there thinking of dear Natalie, petrified and with hot grits down her pants...


I don't have time for Natalie; I'm fretting over Netcraft's confirmation that BSD is dying.


We need a poll to determine what CowboyNeal says on the matter.


CowboyNeal is busy waiting for DukeNukem 3D to come out


HN doesn't support polls, you insensitive clod.

Well you didn't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict that.
