Slashdot Mirror
Peek Into European Patent Examining Cancelled
We were going to run European Patent Examiner John Savage's answers to 10 Slashdot questions today, but he emailed us this morning and asked us to pull them back because he was was in trouble over the interview. What he had to say was informative, non-controversial, and would not have hurt his employer's reputation at all, but we don't want John to lose his job or face disciplinary action on our account. Anyway, get ready for a slightly unusual Slashdot interview guest next week: Celeb chef and self-described "culinary cartographer" Alton Brown.
I guess we can infer their stance on the issues: our decisions are definitive, reality is often in error.
Free Mac Mini Yeah, it's
What the hell? Is /. slowly becoming the online equivalent of 'Good Morning America'?
Your courageous and selfless spelling corrections have made me a better person.
Well could an anonymous coward take the interview instead? since an anonymous coward is not a representitive of a company.
I'm sure a few answers scattered arround the place wouldn't get noiticed.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
Instead of a "Peek Into European Patent Examining " story, how about a "Peek Into European Panty Examining" story? I would love to find out who "Inspector 12" is.
There are 01 kinds of cars in the world. The General Lee, and everything else.
I'm volunteering to do the interview this week in lieu of the European patent examiner who unfortunately could not do the interview.
Go ahead, ask me anything.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
Maybe they just approved a "Method for decreasing thermal losses in human extremities through repurposing of epidermal infant canine and feline tissues"? ;-)
No story here, move along.
Your jedi mind tricks will only work on the weak...ooh, a shiny new distro!
Iron Chef and Good Eats are the only two good shows on the Food Network.
The dubs on Iron Chef are pretty darn good, but they tend to use the same phrases over and over again. How many times does someone use, "It's sooo luxurious!" in normal conversation? I guess maybe because the judges are dumb actors? Why do they have an actors as food judges? Or politicians or a fortune teller? That bitch is a complete idiot. I would rather see that Jamaican woman on TV that reads tarot cards up there. I hate that "scholar" old dude the most. He is so arrogant, and full of bs it's incredible.
