Yeah, what the hell is up with that dollarsign BS? I can't believe I haven't fixed that yet. What's wrong with me?

(Sorry folks, it's an artifact of PHP, the scripting language that SlashNOT is based on.)

I concur. Anyone caught being serious on /. should be fined. Seriously.

Sorry for that bug, it's not my fault that /not's plain text mode eats dollar signs and the numbers following them.

It is my fault for hitting 'preview' and then not reading it.

The text should have been “say (dollarsign) 5″

There ought to be some sort of punishment for beig serious on /not too. Say for every visitor who stubles onto the message (£5 if the athor lives in the UK).

Well, we don't want to get rid of Microshaft, we just want them to take responsibility for their shotty software. I say the Windows using community take legal action and force Microsoft to to purchase and distribute viral software for all installations of NT4/2000/XP. Brand would be by choice of the OS operator.

That'd make Symantec and McAfee happy (:

ought to be some sort of punishment for exposing x billion corporate computers across the net. say £5 for every windows computer penetrated.

That'd get rid of Microshaft!
