$1,000 Spray Makes Gadgets Waterproof

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thank-god-for-that dept.

Rio writes "A new $1,000 spray claims to protect notebook computers, iPods, cell phones and other electronic gadgets from liquid, making them completely waterproof, a Local6.com report says. A creator of the technology said it could be used for emergency first-responders, bio-medical devices and historic preservation." This might be a bit of a flashback from last year.

    But I clicked your link, looked at the comments marked "troll", and I hate to break it to you, son, but all the comments marked "troll" are, indeed, trolls. Look up "internet troll" on wikipedia and you'll see that a "troll" is an offtopic comment designed to generate an emotional response.

    Well, pops, I changed my sig as requested. However, I don't think you are being fair to the bulk of my comments.
    This is a troll/OT? (long excerpt from a George Carlin interview that sheds light on his comedic outlook)
    This is a troll/OT? (commentary on the article with bits of my personal experience and a link to a relevant book)
    This is a troll/OT? (my personal experience with Charter as a 5-year customer)

    There are more, but those examples are sufficient. I agree that some of the comments in my history fit the definition you state. However, /. is FULL of these comments which are consistently modded up as funny. And many of my comments were, in fact, modded up as funny or insightful before they were retroactively (i.e. many days later) modded down by someone (*poof* down to 0, Troll). Why would anyone even go back and do this, when the /. community apparently thought my comments were okay at the time?

    An example of one of your trolls is a link to a wikipedia article about an album with a disparaging word about a particular race as its name, and your comment was "what does the the slashdot community think about this?" It had nothing to do with the article, summary, or comment it responded to. I am not a member of the race you seem to hate, but that doesn't make what you did any less a troll.

    ...and, btw, the joke was that the article was about Network Attached Storage (NAS) and I linked to an article on the new Nas album that was shipping at the time. NOTHING to do with racism on my part. Period.
