It's not like the electricity company hooks you directly up to your own wind turbine anyway. I mean, presumably they can account it for it all and show that yes, 25% of our watts are paid for by customers who've been sold their power as "green" and yes, we've generated 25% of our watts in that way, but that's probably about it, isn't it?
I'm not sure if it's better to blame Google for picking a stupid product name, or the headline writer, but I'm still not sure what "Google Keep Labelled "Delete"" means - even after I finally realised that "Keep" is the product, and not a verb. Who's doing the labelling?
"Defense Distributed, a U.S. nonprofit that aims to make plans for guns available [to] owners of 3-D printers, recently received a federal firearms license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tob[a]cco and Firearms. The license doesn't cover semi-automatic weapons and machine guns, though — and there are questions about whether the legislation that defines the license really appl[ies] to the act of giving someone 3-D printing patterns. Experts on all sides of the issue seem[e]d* to agree that no clarification of the law would happen until a high-profile crime involving a 3-D printed weapon was committed."
This is not hard. Your computer could have pointed out at least two of these errors to you.
There is a perfectly workable system already in place that relies on, rather than centralised censorship, crowd-sourced moderation. Unfortunately, it's ruined by chumps who reply to to the trolls, thus bringing otherwise rapidly hidden posts to the attention of all and sundry.
There's always a risk of a blind spot when writing, because you already know exactly what you mean and once you're locked in it's hard to appreciate the alternatives. That's what the editors are (should be) for...
The video shows them flying it just above the heads of the crowd, though.
It shows it hovering over some people. Possibly enough to call a crowd, but no indication that I can see of what kind of crowd. Could well be a product demo rather than a public area on a golf course.
Actually, I'm not sure they should be doing that, there's no guard around the rotors on that thing, and although it won't kill you, it can definitely give you some pretty good cuts if you happen to run into it. Speaking from experience...
Okay, now you've got me wanting to go and see golf live.
It looks almost like someone had an attack of aphasia half way through writing that headline. Using a transitive verb (which could also be mistaken for a noun), especially a short one like "Hit", next to another short, and unusual word (Ars) makes for tricky parsing.
Not only that, but:
Turns out it may have been the same guy
So it's okay, only the headline is potentially libelous.
As I write this, I am very sad. Our president has been overthrown and replaced by the benevolent general Krull. All hail Krull and his glorious new regime!

Then she got fired for rocking the boar.
Dude, what the hell goes on at PyCon?!
Screw that. I'm going to continue pulling people up on this one irregardless.
Considering I'm equally anonymous on Slashdot whether I'm logged in or not
That's what you think, Steve.
Yes, I can hear the difference.
At 128kbps? 256kbps? 320kbps?
I hear they've yet to deny that they've stopped beating their wife, too.

It also says "needs." But the needs don't come from energy sources - the needs come from all the servers, etc, they're running. -1 Pedantic.
With proper sterilization techniques
Woah, hey, sounding dangerously Daily Mail there...
you wouldn't get infections from vials in the first place.
Oh. That kind of sterilization. Okay.
And until a new model is found, lets collectively gasp at da big bang!!!
I don't like this new theme song for the Leonard & Sheldon Show.

Ahem. It's obviously hard to quote correctly, though :*)

*this should probably be present tense, as well.

so you might say we're encouraged to love.
You horny goddamn hippies already tried that line in the 60s. We didn't buy it then and we're not buyin' it now, dagnabbit.
How is the last one a false flag operation?
*force choke*
I've never heard it called that before, but if you can't get married I guess it's the only option.
Won't somebody puhlease think of the younglings?
Read this. Memorize it.
I did, but now I've forgotten C++. Thanks a bunch!

Math humor is the best humor.
I don't know about that. I often find it has the power to divide a room.
Or am I completely misinterpreting the wording of the stated Weil conjectures?
The maths is entirely beyond me, but I'm gonna go with... yes.

Dear Lisa,
As I write this, I am very sad. Our president has been overthrown and replaced by the benevolent general Krull. All hail Krull and his glorious new regime!
Sincerely,
Little Girl.
I hear the trials involve making people capitalise words for no apparent reason.
