Slashcode? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-11-28 06:27 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I think slashcode has a bug in it. I saw a "nothing to see here" message when I first followed the link to comments.

Does anyone know more about this?

  That happens frequently. I think it's a way for slashcode to hint how stale the news is.

  A guy from Texas goes to Harvard. He sees a student and asks, "Excuse me. Could you tell me where the library is at?"
  
  The student says, "This is Harvard and here we know better than to end our sentences with a preposition."
  
  "Okay," says the Texan. "Could you tell me where the library is at, asshole."

A once promising troll group has disintegrated into lameness. They have done nothing lately. The GNAA is dead.

You have to put gas in the Javelin. You have to change its oil. You probably ought to change the air filter and windshield wipers every so often. The tires will wear out.
