Get Your 15 Years of Slashdot Shirt (For free, Depending)

We'll be sending a passel of shirts to the crowd-sourced parties that we hope you'll get to, and to any artists whose Slashdot logo suggestions we end up selecting. (There are nearly 30 parties planned so far, in places as far-flung as Latvia and Nigeria!) But starting today the limited edition Slashdot anniversary shirt is also available from our brethren and sistren at ThinkGeek (still, for now, serving the same corporate overlord as Slashdot). So if you can't land one of the swag ones (sorry!), you can still swathe yourself in the Slashdot livery, which isn't so different from the colors of the Vogon constructor fleet. We'll only turn 15 once, but a clever T-shirt is forever. Update: 09/21 17:12 GMT by T : If you want to come hang out with the folks who post the stories to Slashdot day-to-day, note that Unknown Lamer is hosting a party in Raleigh, NC, Soulskill and Samzenpus will both be in Ann Arbor, and timothy will be at parties (coffee shops are awesome!) in Houston and Austin.

Doubtful - the single digit users were the original cast of editors... who I haven't seen post a comment (unless it was a meta-slashdot story) for years.

Re:Why 15?

Don't tell the Koreans that.

In Korea, you are age 1 the day you are born. To complicate things further (as with Japan and many other Asian countries) you report the age you are turning in that year (the year being Lunar in Korea and Solar and Japan). So if a child is born on the last day of the year, the very next day that child is already 2.

So if you ever ask a Korean their age, you should ask them for their 'international age' which will be 1 to 2 years lower
