  1. Re:There's no doubt that... on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    You don't get to post an inflammatory comment, and then change it after the fact, making your esteemed opponent appear like an asshole for replying in kind. And similar other variations, where people change what they said, and not just fixing typos.

    Or allow edits, and provide an edit history.

  2. Re:serious question on 2014 Geek Gift Guide · · Score: 2

    Perhaps BH is Sheldon Cooper's pseudonym?

  3. Re: "Computer" failure? on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 1

    More like: if your favourite OS is the _cause_ of the error then never-ending arguments will be made that the error must generally be true for all computers and for any OS.

  4. Re:Another move from North Korea? on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 1

    Can't mod you up since I've already commented. But I do think your joke is underrated. Almost as funny as the "war on errorism" joke earlier in these threads.

    Haha, the "d" stands for "down" in this case?

  6. Re:"Computer" failure - MUST REBOOT! on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 2

    Let me guess: Systems were down momentarily while doing a hard reboot, hence the power "outage," in an attempt to resolve an otherwise unsolvable Windows computer glitch?

  7. Re:"Computer" failure? on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 2

    Actually, any of your suggestions would be good if true. Anything other than "scary computers" being the cause would be nice.

  8. "Computer" failure? on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every time I see those words, I want to know what OS.

  9. Officially bilingual but not by choice on Canadian Hotel Sues Guest For $95K Over Bad Review, Bed Bugs · · Score: 1, Informative

    Manitoba is considered bilingual (or should I say 'bilingue'?) because the Supreme Court of Canada decided that they are because of how the Manitoba Act (part of the consitution) was written. The Manitoban gov't tried to officially make itself uni-lingual but the Court struck it down. An agreement was made to compromise whereby the provincial gov't agreed to provide gov't services in both languages. Also they have French/French Immersion public schools available to those who want it. I prefer to say that NB is the only 'voluntary' official bilingual province in Canada. That way, no matter how the hairs are split, I'm still technically correct.

    Argument is next door, room 12A.

    No it's not.

    That's just contradiction.
