Actually, he said Slovenia "ahead of Germany and Slovenia." Now, the team of Germany and Slovenia does not exist, so we could form the vacuous statement, "If Slovenia and Germany and Slovenia play in the tournament, Slovenia will finish ahead of Germany and Slovenia." Vacuous statements are considered to be true in formal logic. Therefore, Slovenia will finish ahead of Germany and Slovenia. QED.
I spent a year in Europe 23 years ago, and I always liked EKU 28, which was billed as the "strongest beer in the world." Kind of sweet, malty, with hints of cherry (not cherry-flavored, of course.) It's not widely available in the states, but now one can find Belgian triples and doppelbocks and other stronger brews, and I really like those too. The goal to reach 50 percent alcohol seems kind of artificial, like a running race that is 26.2 miles long. I guess the point is to push the limits, and maybe beyond what is reasonable. But if it tastes good, or if you learn something in the process, I say go for it.
I know you're being funny, but you could throw in Sun Microsystems as well. Sun had a project to give their field techs a handheld wireless computer back in 2000. They really liked Symbol hardware, but the device they settled on only supported WinCE. So they had Symbol do a custom port of Linux to the device. They could have had a working system much faster, but they were willing to do anything to avoid Microsoft.
I disagree. Slashdot editors need to be free to try new things, experiment, see what works and what doesn't; however, idle shit needs to stay idle, and if you think the editors have messed up, you should give them the needed feedback.
Thirteen freakin' years! Pretty soon (as in right now?) we'll be bragging about seeing it in the theater in the same breath as saying "Get off my lawn!"
It's clever and all, but to really put it over the top with the slashdot crowd he'd have to make his new word a recursive acronym, or at least a palindrome.

Well, there's spam spam spam spam apple spam spam. That's got less apple in it.

Bender, is that you?!

Whoa now, big fella. First, get him a slashdot account, have him read, post some good comments, maybe submit a story, then he can start modding.

Complex numbers? Imaginary numbers? You need to get an iLife.
Those Harvard profs are paid for their research and consulting, not their teaching.
Your hatch or mine?
You could just set your filter for "mere mortal" appropriately and you won't see these things anymore.
Damn straight. Slashdot relegated to the "Digg and Reddit clones"? Me and my six-digit ID say "No way."
No, me doctor, you patient, she nurse.
So, you'd say this "security egghead" is a bit of a quack?

Didn't we just see a story about this? Or is Ball Lightning not the same thing?
Obviously he hasn't considered the Mercedes AMG gullwing.

5) Profit!?
Decent? One-handed... in bed... with themselves? Adult film producer, you are just cramming too much innuendo into one slashdot post.
I was trying to evoke the rest stops along the New Jersey turnpike. For the record, I do not live in New Jersey.
This could also provide good jobs for the inhabitants of these asteroids, serving Starbucks coffee and Cinnabons.
It's obviously Thunderbird 2. You can all leave your geek cards at the door on your way out.
Say, that would make a great salad spinner!
I guess Newton wasn't all that cool
Actually, Apple was responsible for the Newton as well, and it was hella cool, as any aging 1990's-era fanboy will tell you.
