I'm not approaching karma like a high-score or anything, I'm just offended that someone is allowed to label several of my comments "troll" simply because they don't like me.
I don't know where else to log this complaint. I've only been using Slashdot for a week or two. I've really been enjoying it and I've been commenting a lot. I've received a positive or at least neutral response to all of my comments, but I logged on today and discovered that my karma had gone from "positive" to "bad" over night. I started checking around, and it seems that four of my comments have suddenly been modded down as trolls. They clearly aren't. I think I'm the victim of either a glitch or a moderator's personal vendetta, but I can't find anywhere to voice a complaint. What do I do?
Bankruptcy sounds pretty vague to me. What did they spend all of their money on? Fighting the uprising of technologically advanced robot dinosaurs perhaps? Did they realize only too late that the chip they installed was capable of switching genders leading to an unforeseen ability to reproduce?
On a side note, I'd like to mention that you're the oldest member of Slashdot that has graced me with a reply. Slashdot reminds me somewhat of the episode of the Simpsons where Homer joins the "Stonecutters," except with less paddling.
Do I understand this correctly? On top of superhuman strength and intelligence, we're now making steps toward robot evolution? When robots rule the world, do you think they'll debate whether or not they actually evolved from primitive PCs?
"You fool! We were created in our present form by the great nerd in the sky! Shun the non-believer!"

Hey wait, that would make a great movie...

That's funny, but also a very interesting point.

"Walk-around" actually sounds less advanced than "Hoverround."
On second thought, I'm also surprised that there isn't one already. Maybe they blew the budget on tinfoil hats.
How long until someone releases a "We Didn't Really Land on the Moon!" App?
That does have a certain ring to it. Maybe next time.
"Karmic Koala" is great, but I would like to believe that "All-knowing Frog" was a close second.
Someday I want to invent an attack, but only because I want the privilege of naming it.
I wonder when personal computers will catch up with cell phones and mp3 players - any smaller, and we'll just lose them.
The operation is a real breakthrough for crippled mice everywhere, but they have to avoid kaleidoscopes for the rest of their lives...
