Slow news day. I don't think 'friends' in Facebook terms means what the author supposes (or hopes). Personally I think Facebook should never have used and abused the word 'friend'. But 'acquaintance' is a bit unwieldy and still not accurate. 'Connection'? Anyway, 'friend' just doesn't work IMHO.
I know I'm not the first to say it, but seriously, just delete them if they are not yours. It is not your responsibility. Better still, as others have said, filter them out if they are cases of recurring senders.
I knew a guy who had difficulty pronouncing a number of words correctly. Molybdenum was one of them. He invariably pronounced it 'mollybendum'. Funny, but a bit sad at the same time.
I would have to guess that most people looking for pron know where to find it and do not do a search. Lots of tube sites with thumbs. Who needs to search?
How is this meaningful? The searches are those of the inexperienced and possibly desperate. The rest of us know where to find what we're looking for. Am I wrong?
Throw chairs people of China! Throw chairs shouting 'programmers, programmers, programmers" while you sweat profusely! Your geek cool creds will increase dramatically! Eschew the shoe. Embrace the chair!
The book of Revelations is completely bonkers and merely the ravings of the lunatic St. John on Patmos pasted in to the cobbled together rag that is the 'New Testament'. Interesting if often impenetrable reading, but certainly nothing to take the least bit seriously. I'm not suggesting that you are taking it seriously of course, but sadly there are many that do.
I think I'll be left behind. I certainly don't want to be 'raptured' with the kind of assholes that believe in that nonsense! So does this mean I shouldn't bother buying new shoes tomorrow?
I partly agree but mostly disagree. There are and have been in the past many instances of obtuse crappy interfaces. You can't always blame the user if the interface is not intuitive to them.
I have to admit I never managed to successfully set a VCR! My last failed attempt to do so was when I was about 27 (mid 90s) so often these are not age issues but a matter of what constitutes an intuitive interface to a particular individual. The VCR setting interface just did not work for me, but that doesn't man I'm stupid and I certainly wasn't old at the time. I do know how to use a fax machine, but having recently customized the settings on the fax machine using the four button key pad and the limited number of character LCD screen I can unashamedly confirm that it was frustrating and not at all easy.

Please to see that this story is appropriately tagged with 'goodluckwiththat'. The first thing that came into my head.

Yoda, you is that?
So, you're saying /. needs a 'gay' section? Fair enough.
'Poorly written' is exactly what I was thinking. There are so many errors it would be a waste of time to point them out.

Thank you!

Star Trek reboot? You mean Star Trek the Next Generation, right?

The bars are still open, so there is still hope!
Crap. I'll hardly get a millennium's use out of a $40 pair of shoes. Guess I'll have to loot a Fifth Avenue store...

I suppose the mention of electronic stores makes this story somewhat relevant on /.

No thanks!
Nonsense.
No, it is not.

I drink beer and do not have cancer. Therefore beer prevents cancer. Woohoo!
I'd mod you up if I had points.
Her 'last' song? Does this mean she has retired? Surely that is to much to hope for.
