  1. why no link to the 'via' source? :( on BMW To Compete With Google To Build Software For Self-Driving Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    sigh, I thought that at /. it's all about diversity on the front page, it's sad that you guys didn't give the link to http://sdcarnews.com/bmw-looks... (

  2. why u no love me timothy? on Microsoft Works On Windows For ARM-Based Servers · · Score: 4, Funny

    it seems that moderator timothy likes to modify my submission links all the time. sigh...

  3. Re:from the submitter on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 1

    I have had around 50 on front page... :( I didn't get this : "If you're going to quote me with "Charliemopps writes" then it should be cut&paste. If you're altering it, Slashdot needs a different statement like "Submitted by..." etc..."

  4. Re:from the submitter on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's really annoying to compose an original submission, be ahead of everybody else and now getting anything to your website. Especially when you've been with Slashdot for 4+ years...

  5. from the submitter on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Can somebody explain why the links I have included have been modified? Not fair from /. to remove links and direct the traffic to already big outlets. Slashdot is also about diversity and supporting smaller publications, from what I remember.

  6. Re:Microsoft access his hotmail account? on Ex-Microsoft Employee Arrested For Leaking Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    I submitted the piece. Yes, even that surprised me. I was expecting to hear the FBI "opened" the conversations for them, but it seems that have a "special team" for that

  7. Re:Seriously? "Wind8Apps"? on Pinterest Reveals Its First Transparency Report · · Score: 1

    there are many one-person blogs with quite a reputation. but it's not a 1 person blog, by the way.

    speaking of reputable, I regularly submit stories to Slashdot, so I don't see why you're fretting

    It's my website, why don't you like its name? it feeds my family :D

  10. Re:Not At MWC 2014 on Samsung's First Tizen Smartphone Gets Leaked · · Score: 1

    FTFA:

    Unfortunately, we might not see the phone at MWC 2014, as our source indicates that the launch has been pushed further to accommodate other launches (psst⦠Galaxy S5).

    So I guess whomever wrote the summary didn't read all the way to the bottom of the 2nd link.

    No, just that when I submitted it, we didn't have that information at our disposal

  11. I submitted this on Dell Ad Says Windows 8.1 Apps Will Run On Xbox One · · Score: 0

    unbelievable, I submitted this yesterday :|

  12. Shortest evah on Facebook Isn't Accepting New Posts, Likes, Comments... · · Score: 1

    the shortest story ever on /.

  13. Why was my link removed? on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 0

    I might understand that the link to this http://wind8apps.com/microsoft-will-have-to-rename-skydrive-bskyb-wins-legal-battle/ was removed because it was not the first source, indeed. But I can not understand why you deleted it and put GeekWire instead :|

  14. 1 mil per day?! on Canonical Seeks $32 Million To Make Ubuntu Smartphone · · Score: 1

    1 MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Anyhow, enought with the screaming, as of now it has 50% of its first day's goal, but I guess it has to do with all the news that have been going around

  15. keeping the link juice to /. on Microsoft's Surface RT Was Doomed From Day One · · Score: 1

    I love it how you guys linkback to your own articles when there have been so many similar submissions, and even more interesting that just disappeared
