Slashdot Mirror

I seem to recall that it was named, "Mariana's Trench" at one time. I posit that the Marianas of the world got together and had the apostrophe removed. Because, well, you know, like, oh, nevermind...

I just hope that one day in the future they invent a small tracked robot to make us remember how to love again.

You mean like Lovebot?

Also, if it could collect and compact garbage then that'd be great too.

Erm... no, can't do that. How about Sex Lasers instead?

Patent bullshit.

Couldn't resist.

Low quality plot too. Remember the eagles? Have them grab the ring and drop it into the volcano. Ta Da all done.

If by "all done" you mean "eagle's little bird mind is corrupted by the influence of the ring and it brings it directly to Sauron" then yeah, that'd be a pretty short tale.

After all, it's only the most desirable thing in the universe...

You can't say that there's a ring that's so powerful it will corrupt high elves and trained birds alike, and then go and hand it to a fucking retarded hobbit and just hope all goes well. That's even if you accept that fact that the ring was hidden long enough and well enough by a fucking hobbit to not have any trouble with the Dark Lord Oogey Boogey so far.
And fuck, even if you think that it's such a fucking concern and it's a task only for a hobbit, why not just let the fucking Hobbit toss it into the ocean? Why not encase it in mythril so no one can wear the damned thing? The whole concept of the ring is absolute rubbish. It's the fuckign MacGuffin of Macguffins. It's so absurd that you can't even call it out as such without internet nerds rushing to defend it in some misguided "you just don't get it" horse shit.

Tolkien was a commiehippie, and the hobbits were his favorite little demographic of the poor, stupid, olden time people. He didn't like technology so he wrote about how only the pure little hobbits can face temptation and be pure.

God damn what schlocking drivel.

You should sic Bob on him. It's probably not an accurate appraisal, but I always question the education, and maybe even intelligence, of anyone who can't use that simple punctuation mark properly.

What's worse, I see it more and more. Doesn't anyone read books these days?

The company's that produce these military weapons

Why do you do that? It's "companies". Don't you read anything but the illiterate ramblings on Yahoo? Meet Bob, maybe you can look less like an illiterate moron.

Mods, I'm offtopic, please mod me down.

Oops, Sorry!.

Hope my poor spelling did not stop you from understanding my message.

Seriously dude, It's slashdot and you find my minor spelling mistake so changing ?

...that is what will happen to the 99%

That's ok, because we already know what happens to the 1%.

What, you expect Google to just sit there and take it!?

Ooooh, if you want it to be possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S... Scalawag!

HAHAH!!! That xkcd get's them every time.

It 'sure doe's, nigger

I'm not sure I agree but for those people who are unaware of the popular pitfalls I always defer to Bob the Angry Flower: Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots

My own grammar may not be up to par, but Bob would like a word with you about your atrocious use of apostrophes. As I once read elsewhere on the 'net, "An apostrophe is NOT a warning that a word ends in 's'". Since you love using apostrophes on plural words, why didn't you also add one each to "ears" and "clothes"?

Furthermore, you're wrong if you think "your" is used correctly in that post, which is almost worse than your use of "then". Don't get me started on your apparent fear of the comma.

Lord, what has Slashdot come to?

In America, it doesn't matter if you get caught, so long as you make a metric fuckton of money in the process.

"open it's door"? Way to fail at a grammar nazi post there. http://www.angryflower.com/aposter3.jpg

This sort of ignorance and paranoia does the work for Microsoft. They don't have to be assholes, they can be nice to you ... and you'll turn around and make yourself look like an ignorant paranoid asshole for them. You are your own worst enemy, spend less time looking for them in the fields and more time looking for the enemy in the mirror. This childish BS is well past the point of being old.

THIS.

However crazy Bob's been to his friends in the past, sometimes, it's just a cake.

People need it, shift workers don't get very much of it. Just the bit most get in passing going to & from work helps allot. Without it, people are in general a bit more unhappy & lethargic.

"These "lumivores" reject the safety of darkness and appear to seek out light. Sickening."

The link provided does not refer to the dual nature of It, whether being used as a contraction or possessive.

Oh yeah? Well then, will this satisfy you?

I am really getting tired of this shit. So, for your education, you fucking moron submitter and fucking useless moron editor: Bob's quick guide to the apostrophe.

Given that the 'server's are phy'sically located within the U'S, odd's are that if you are at all intere'sting to the U'S gov't, they have direct, live, real-time update's on all information you, and probably al'so your 'friend's', put on Facebook. 'Same with every other 'service in the U'S.

FTFY.

Bob knows what will happen.

And so many different flavors!

Plants are alive. At least until some bugger eats the poor things. Won't someone think of the flora?

Oh, and I do believe that science can set us free from the endless cycle of destruction. Behold: Meat Sheets!

Indeed. Taco, meet Bob.

An angry guide to the apostrophe.

Where do people 'learn' to use apostrophes for plural's? I don't even...

So, villian's [sic]are everybody that don't post to /. ?

No, villians are illiterate.

the ... Ukraine

See frame 4...

Simple same as the American's have LONG denied the holocaust against the natives and the concentration camps for Americans whose ancestors came from Japan.

Um, I realise you're only a small furry creature, and English isn't your first language, but you REALLY need to meet Bob.

That quote is from his wikipedia page, and it's a nerd joke about said cat (zombie cat both dead and alive at the same time until seen). I prefer Schrödinger's Fridge (pay special attention to the double slit experiment in the last panel)

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

Hi, please talk to Bob. He has some much needed advice for you.

Don't be a bozon: Don't drink and drive. Unless... http://www.angryflower.com/schrod.gif

You stole that joke from Bob. Buy the guy a beer, he needs one after the double-slit experiment!

Even while some may be static, other's are making new connections in manners which we currently can't predict

Please remap this!

Not that the brain functions in any quantum manner

We don't know if it does or not. Certainly it might; don't quantum states of an electron or proton affect the atom's state that it's composed of? And aren't molecules affected by the states of their atoms? Thought is chemical, and anything that affects chemistry will affect thought.

It would have been easier to NOT include photo's and names than to build it in there!

Dude, please learn when to use an apostrophe. We have lots of non-native English speakers here, and they may assume that your use of language is educated, seeing as how this is a nerd site and all.

Moderators, please mod me down, I'm offtopic. Thx.

In other words, its a matter of communication.

You forgot the apostrophe there, chief. Don't make me sick Bob on you. Oh, too late: http://www.angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif
