A) He was talking about colons. B) You don't get to comment on capitalization with that sig of yours. Especially since 'grammar Nazi' was correct to begin with.
If I wanted to read your crappy writings I'd go to your crappy website. Stop copy/pasting every time the topic goes near something you happened to write about. It's annoying.
Yeah, that was probably a bit harsh, but it really doesn't add much to the conversation when you simply repeat the same points that have already been brought up so many times not only in this conversation but in every one like it; points that, as my previous post suggested, the people who are implementing the plan were undoubtedly aware of as they planned it.
Wow, you're right; he probably didn't realize that. You should call him up right now and let him know. I mean, you have his number, right? Don't they give that out to all the super-geniuses of the world so they can lend their bountiful intelligence to him in times of need?
"At any rate, give me a bottle of Boones' farm (strawberry), a six pack of Corona Extra (lime, of course), and Bacardi Limon w/ Cranberry. I'm not a picky alcoholic."
Really? How can you put those two sentences next to each other without seeing the irony?
Or is this that internet sarcasm thing I'm always hearing about?
I'm not sure what you mean by sunlight, but I certainly agree with the other two points.
Regarding the UI: sure, there's an index up front, but to get to the page I want to I have to just guess the area, grab a random page, and then adjust a few pages to the left or right. There's not even a search function if I'm looking for a quote!
The constant manipulation needed to read is just ridiculous as well. I mean, these fools want you to turn EVERY page? Some books have like over a hundred of those!
Wow, you're really being held at gunpoint, forced to sit in Dalaran, ALL DAY? That must be terrible. I mean, the rest of us just stop playing when we get bored, or we maybe start a new character. But being FORCED to play? AND you have to stay in one city?! Horrible.
Did you have to pay extra to get the Blizzard employee come threaten you with force?
Some questions: What absolutely essential fan-made tool or site what shut down? Why haven't you figured out how to work the quality slider in the video options page? What super-mega-ultra-awesome guild are you running with to have already completed all the content they JUST released?
I know some people just like to complain, but you sir really take the cake when it comes to bitching about nothing.
So, you feel that: A) The issue here was caused by the name 'swine flu', and not by the fact that Egyptian officials are actively persecuting a minority. B) The government officials really were dumb enough to ignore all expert advice and instead chose to go with just the name. and C) Changing the name now will prevent other government's officials from harassing minority groups.
No. The name may have given them a convenient excuse, but the problem in Egypt has nothing to do with the name of the disease. I'd wager that they would have done their best to slaughter the pigs even if the flu was being referred to as the Mexican flu, the Colbert flu, or whatever the hell else you want to call it.

And yet people like you love to put things like "At least 4 years Android development experience" as requirements.
You could cry some more. It's helping, really.
I can't help but wonder:
Why are you trying so hard to make everyone on this site absolutely hate you?
A) He was talking about colons.

Sheesh.
I was thinking +1 Thanks For Telling Me Why I'm Never Ever Going To Australia Ever.
Yeah I was a bit skeptical too, until I looked over at my second monitor which currently has the work I'm supposed to be doing on it.
Yay, COBOL.
The programs I'm maintaining are older than me. Literally.
I'm not sure you have a suitable definition of 'death'.
What is death, to you?
Then you should get a book which labels things.
Not really. I'd have gone with a semicolon and removed the extra comma after 'editions'.
10/10, most inciteful thing I've ever read; had me raging.
Someone send this to Limbaugh or the like, their head might just explode.
Ah, Slashdot: where not even your made-up, bullshit words are safe from the grammar Nazis.

"I RTFA and, even when searching for answers, Google moped the floor with Wolfram Alpha."
Sure, Google mopeds. But Alpha scooters.

Shut up.
There IS a point at which unbridled paranoia is unhealthy.

Why bother to sub a 1 for the I if you're just going to go nuts with an L at the end?!

Yeah, screw books. Scrolls are where it's at.

I'm not sure who you're being bitter toward, but I don't think they're around here. Or anywhere. What the hell are you talking about?
