Journal moncyb's Journal: Fake Beach Goths 12
Mood music: Fake Beach Goths by Mannequin Porn. Silly me, when I heard this song for the first several times, I thought it was about goth wannabies.
I saw Thirteen the other day. Not too bad. I heard a nasty rumor News Corp was fronting for it, but didn't see any logo at the start of the movie...plenty of Fox Searchlight and Sony Classics on the previews though.
Slashdot VIPs
People on slashdot who are significant...as I remember anyway.
- volkerdi - maintainer of Slackware.
- linuxbaby - The creator of CDBaby....I think.
- m.dillon - Was a developer for FreeBSD, now works on his own version Dragonfly.
- Bruce Perens - More or less the posterboy for Open Source. IIRC, he even coined the term.
- pjones
- CowboyNeal - The coolest person who works on Slashdot.
- Sarcasta - Well...I'm not sure if she belongs on this list, but she is funny and married to one of the Slashdot monkeys. Look at her site, it's cool. I loved the milk cow poster.
- sreilly - I think has some sort of significance, but I can't remember why.
- Submarine - Same as above...anyone know this guy? I wish I could take notes on the Slashdot system. Perhaps I should've made a text file...
Reason #666 why the MPAA is evil - check this! One of many examples of the entertainment cartel flooding the internet with bogus DMCA complaints. Too bad small individual users who have been pounded don't have a voice. They probably just lose their internet connection or some odd thing. Then we'd see the real depth to the problem. I'm sure they number in the thousands.
On top fo my head... (Score:1)
CleverNickName [slashdot.org]-- Will Weathon. Some actor that played in slashdot.
John Carmack [slashdot.org] -- That Id guy.
Eric S. Raymond [slashdot.org] -- Wrote the Cathedral and the Bazaar
I don't know how you qualify "relevant"... :-)
There used to be a page (with an ugly mauve background) that listed the real UID's of celebrities on slashdot. Can't seem to find it anymore.

Ah yes, they are. Good of you to point them out. I didn't remember Carmak or Raymond, or if they were on slashdot. I did think about putting Wil Wheaton. It was a close call, but he was only that guy who played Wesly Crusher on Star Trek after all. He seems kind of cool in real life, but if just being cool belonged, I would've put different people. Like say, Sam and that shark guy. ;-)

Being a celeb on slashdot is all in the eye of the beholder.

You should at least know the following: Bruce Perens, CowboyNeal, Sarcasta, John Carmack and Eric S. Raymond. I'm not sure if Stallman or Linus Torvalds have a slashdot account. However, some time ago I was a documentary about the Open Source Movement on arte [http], and I can assure you that Linus *reads* slashdot. Or at least used to read it, because it was clearly visible on the screen of his desk.

For the record, I didn't say you were a celeb, I said you were cool. ;-) Though you do know how to make a catch phrase that sticks. I've probably see FSoF about a thousand times now. :-)

Look at my friends list. It's empty. I just annoy everyone anyway.

What?!? There is another shark that roams the green sea of slashdot? Say, it ain't true! Gotta battle him in a good old fashioned frenzy! ;-) I don't share my prey, you know....
