    I don't want to sound like a smartarse, but is there a reason most people write "slashdot" as ./ (which looks to be dotslash to me).

    I'm not the ultrageek who is certain just what the name 'slashdot' is meant to mean, so explanations in short words is good for me :)

    Speaking of editing, the linked post could certainly use some:

    "My advise: but the losses. Remove any claim that the LSB will ensure any additional level of assurance for developers. To some extend, I think, the claims a scaled back meanwhile, if I understood Art correctly."

    "is a somewhat good reflection of who a Linux implementation should behave "

    "we file bugs and wait of the test to be waived."
