Angry Flower to the rescue: http://www.angryflower.com/bob...

Just make sure you bring an inexhaustible supply of robots.

The bug you linked to (Bug 35622 - misrenders http://www.angryflower.com/) was opened in 2001 and closed in 2002.

Are you sure that was the right one?

(I happily use KDE 5
8 on a desktop - with Intel graphics - with no issues, it is quite a bit better than 4.x in many ways, and quite pleasant to use. $work issues Macbooks, so I haven't run KDE 5 on a laptop, in my previous job I ran KDE4 on my work-issued laptop with radeon graphics and had no issues)

"Nobody remembered to bring an inexhaustible labor force of robots???"

Fine, you go off to Galt's Gulch and make your own way. I promise I won't bother you.

They did, but now they've discovered that life is rather like this comic, so they want a select few to come back to flip their burgers and wash their cars for minimum wage.

where would slashdot get it's news feeds?

From here.

Anyway, I just had to write this, I'm not even going to post it, it was just lethargic to say something. See also: http://www.angryflower.com/bob...

I really did not mean to post that! Well whatever, I don't mean to post this either. #ApostropheLivesMatter

Please stop abusing apostrophes. More than one Nazi are called Nazis. An apostrophe is used when replacing bits like in a contraction (e.g. do not = don't). It is also used for a possessive, e.g. "the Nazi's super weapon was super". Try to remember: don't add an apostrophe unless you have a good reason. To make a plural, just add an S. Anyway, I just had to write this, I'm not even going to post it, it was just lethargic to say something. I don't want to be "that guy", the Grammar Nazi. I don't expect everyone to write perfectly, especially in a silly online forum, but it just really makes it hard to read. I'm sure this post is not perfect either, I'm just hopefully trying help someone write in a less annoying way. See also: http://www.angryflower.com/bob...

Bob The Angry Flower explains it well.

I hope English is your second language. Meet Bob.

The plural of company is companies.

Is Feng Shui deadly?
If you angle a mirror wrong it will FUCK UP someone walking into the space.

Not to mention that just one of the precepts of Feng Shui is that you not sit with your back to any openings in a room. They say it's for "good energy" but really it's so you can gun down every motherfucker that comes for you before they even see your face.

It's a deadly martial art.

... the social purging of the useless 99% by the elite 1%. It will happen and there's nothing you can do about it.

Oh yes, it will be heaven on earth when only the creators, the entrepreneurs, the titans who make the world work are left! All the moochers and looters can starve!

Dammit, I think that's my only slashdot first post ever, and it has a grocer's apostrophe in it.

Bob? Are you OK?

You can't scatter one beam of light with another one!

No, but you can cancel light out with more light. And this does make an object invisible, if tuned to the wavelength you want it to be invisible in.

The trouble is, you could tune it to work in visible light but only if that light were coherent (as in, comes out of a laser). You can't get incoherent light out of phase with itself because it's a wide range of frequencies and all completely incoherent, like snow on an analog TV.

Its one of those ridiculous English quirks, ...

Perhaps you meant, "it's one of those ridiculous English quirks..."

It is one of those ridiculous English quirks that I abhor to explain to people. Over the Internet, you could do what I do and just link this: http://www.angryflower.com/itsits.gif

You do have a point but there are other effects, like totally forgetting that through specialization we have become dependent on each other. Here is an example:

"Catastrophically collapse", really? What's catastrophic about it?

BEER!!!

He's using the possessive sense. Spelling is something that the other possesses. Seems correct to me.

Only to open Schrödinger's fridge for a beer.

As reported by Reuters, The New York Times, and Fox News...

Seriously? You couldn't think of a third actual news source? Couldn't find a link to the National Enquirer, so you went with one of it's peers?

Fox News is awful at domestic politics because it was founded as a Republican partisan mouthpiece, and it is adequate at foreign affairs because a lot of Republicans work in government after Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, and Bush II and when they decide to leak information they will leak it to Fox News. Their domestic reporting lies, but their foreign reporting is merely slanted.

Reuters lies. Their foreign reporting regarding Israel is not merely slanted or packaged to make you believe what they want you to think, but they will completely make shit up to make you believe what they want you to think.

Know the biases of your news sources, to the individual reporter if possible and recognizing different degrees of bias, rather than rejecting one entire publisher out of hand and considering the others to be clean. Everybody is biased on some issue to some degree.

Also, this.

I take it English is a second language to you, so you may find this cartoon helpful. Also be aware that most English speakers don't read books and apparently don't pay much attention in school, so it's not wise to emulate anything you see in a messageboard, or even most blogs.

Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots

http://www.angryflower.com/itsits.gif

Yes. People would do well to read Bob the Angry Flower's guide to the apostrophe... you idiots!

Anyone have some good idea's

Why not display images on them? Start with this one, you bent-wristed neckwetter.

The dude has an excuse: he is Dutch, and they legally use apostrophe's for plural's (for some word's).

Teleporter's [sic] most likely.

Aliterate, meet Bob. Where in the hell did you learn that? STOP IT! You look like an idiot.

BTW, in case one of you aliterates thinks "aliterate" is a misspelling, look it up in a dictionary.

Jees, I miss the days when people who actually read something besides cereal boxes, comic books, and the internet came here. Now we have tons of folks who look like they're high school dropouts. IMO, if you don't know how to use an apostrophe, your views can't be very educated.

I prefer Schrödinger's Fridge.

I don't know if everyone is joking (well, the cartoonist who drew that linked cartoon isn't serious) or everyone misunderstands the concept that whoever does the Bob cartoons is poking fun at. It simply means "you don't know unless you test". The idea that a cat is both alive and dead is ludicrous.

Or will they forget the robots?

is no excuse.

"Is there any beer in the fridge?"

"Is there any beer in the fridge?"

http://www.angryflower.com/schrod.gif

I will find and excuse to use the phrase 'Schroedinger's Laptop' someday.

I have an easier one for you -- Schroedinger's fridge!

Especially after trying to drink quantum beer for a week.

The next submission to be accepted.

Like this?

Human's are complex, social creatures

Yeah, if I were aliterate I'd probably post anonymously, too. You might want to meet Bob.

Oh, and look the word up before you pounce on "aliterate". It is not a misspelling of "illiterate".

To illustrate the low intellectual frame of mind that starts your message, I need to point out your title. Someone, somewhere did not educate you in the usage of the apostrophe.

"An apostrophe does not mean 'uh-oh, here comes an s.'" - Dave Barry as "Mr Grammar Person"

And I highly recommend buying this poster to hang on your wall, so you don't ever forget: http://angryflower.com/aposter.html

Similarly, someone, somewhere, did not educate you in the scientific concepts like the scientific method, what a theory is, what a hypothesis is, what evidence is, etc., and I am being kind here. I could accuse you of being a lay-about all through school not paying one whit of attention to what was being taught because you were smoking dope or something.

Now to get to your actual question: It is without merit and assumes that "evolutionists" (there is no such thing - evolution is not a system of belief) "believe" in evolution as a matter of faith. This is pure unadulterated nonsense. Before Darwin wrote his Origin of Species, thinking people understood that "change over time," i.e., evolution happens. Lamarck was one of them, but while his was one of the first self-consistent theories of evolution and set the tone for future research, it had major problems. What was ground breaking about Darwin's book was that he wrote down what the more sensible method by which Nature does it and had hundreds of pages of observational notes and logical argument to back it up. He did this by going out and observing how the world actually works instead of sitting on his arse and pontificating like Aristotle, who while a smart guy in many respects, was laughably wrong in others.

And to this day, the evidence points in the direction of evolution as fact and away from bronze-age mythology ever more so. While people may debate the finer points (punctuated equilibrium vs. gradualism) the overall fact of evolution gets more understood every day.

Now if you are unwilling to buy into the fact of evolution and wish to call it nonsense, I demand that you put up or shut up and present your case as to why you think you have a better idea for how the universe works. If you do have indeed a better case, the next Nobel prize and lots of cash and fame is yours and someone might name a city after you. If you do not, we can ridicule you mercilessly.

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well do ya?

So present your case.

Sorry sir, but your application has been denied. If we followed your suggestions we would not need to horas, torture, or bother anyone. Then everyone would forget what DHS stands [for], we would loose funding and become an irrelevant agency like BATF.

Again thank you for your time, please see BOB on the way our for your complementary cavity search.

I'd send YOU to Bob but at least you didn't mangle any apostrophes. I hope English isn't your primary language! Guys, this is what the folks were talking about in this thread; why a well-rounded education is important. Some of you guys make me completely sure you've never attended a single college class, or ever read a single book or you'd know the difference between loose and lose, their there and they're, and that "pass the potato's" is fuctarded. Sorry, Anon-Admin, but you look like you could use a little remedial education. Check that second link, you can get "edumakatid" for free.

My, we have some hatred issues, don't we? It was funny, you were supposed to laugh. Instead this bizarre diatribe that mostly says what you're thinking about all the time? PS this one's for you.

Are you kidding? xkcd is total shit. Let me sum it up for you: whimsical stick figures white knighting on the internet!!!!! But with pop culture references!!!!! LOLOLOLOL. Penny Arcade is better, but the blogs are frequently better than the actual strips. PhD comics is alright, but it's not exactly what I'd call great.

Let me introduce you to a real webcomic: The Parking Lot is Full.

Honorable mention to Gone with the Blastwave, Sexy Losers, and Perry Bible Fellowship, even though PBF is a pretty much a ripoff of PLIF. Still, it ripped off the best, so it gets an honorable mention.

If you're into insipid, warmed-over Monty Python references and "internet culture", then SMBC is probably what you're looking for. It's alright. It's shitloads better than xkcd, at least. And there's no desperate, low self-esteem white-knighting, which is a huge bonus. There's also Bob the Angry Flower, if you crave nerd humor that's got more substance than someone making fucking graphs.

I could mention a few others, but I was never that big a fan of Ghastly's Ghastly Comic (maybe you need to be a weeaboo to really love tentacle rape jokes... and Sexy Losers did it all first). There's also Subnormality, if you don't mind preachy, TL;DR strips about the totally wacky and off-the-wall adventures of a sphinx that -- get this -- likes to EAT PEOPLE!!!! LOL. What craziness!

But, really, xkcd is total shit.

If American's can't afford to eat
This link is for you, buddy.

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you do that.
