I haven't been around quite as long as you have, but I don't recall the slogan ever being "News for Nerds on the Stuff that Matters". That may have been the original intent, but I don't think that was ever the actual slogan.
Not addressing the point that you have a silly argument, but anyway... It's the slogan RIGHT F'N NOW, and has been since the beginning of slashdot. Seriously. Go to http://slashdot.org/ right now. It's the slogan. It's in the banner. It's in the HTML title. What's wrong with you??
A tree will consume about a ton of CO2 over its lifetime, maybe 100 years. Since the goal is over 10 years, we need 10 times the number of trees. So that's it, plant ten billion trees. You can pay me by PayPal.
As a native English speaker, comfortable with Spanish and aware of the basics of French (so I'm not entirely uneducated), I am entirely unequipped to reason the pronunciation of "Jens Axboe." Can someone help me out?
There's no need to store energy if you have an agreement with the power company -- When you have extra power, they pay you for it. When you need extra power you pay them for it. You are effectively 'storing' your extra power in the power grid with near 100% effectiveness (better than batteries -- unless the power grid collapses).
Where I live, my electric bill is divided into two pieces: supply and delivery. When you "sell" power, they only pay you for supply (as they still do delivery). That's way the hell less efficient than 100%. It's like 50%.
With the Internet Call Wizard, Skype is my home phone. It costs me $4/mo + $0.02/min, and I can't tell the difference between that and my old regular phone service, except with Skype I don't get surprised by random charges for calls I thought "fit the mold" of my calling plan, or crazy taxes, and I have to dial 011 + area code even for local calls, which my wife and I have both gotten used to. Of course last year I didn't even pay the $0.02/min because of the promotion, and with the amount my wife uses the phone:) the $15/year offer will pay for itself in the first month.
You have it. I've done it. Tags are useless to me and I don't know what y'all are talking about. Go to your user page, select "preferences," select "tags," then select "off."
The researchers collected 53,220 fecal samples from chickens, geese and ducks in poultry markets in six Chinese provinces between July 2005 and June 2006.
I have an automated playlist system that can simulate a live BBC America feed just with the programs I've recorded and commercials I've produced myself.

Oopsie, I guess I'm not enough of a pedantic prick to notice that completely pointless distinction.

Exactly.
No, the worst thing that could have happened is that they all fargin detonated a nuclear explosion that destroyed half the country.
I'm apparently a lousy researcher!
When flash fails, it fails to write. You can still read the data.
Interestingly, the New York Stock Exchange has reserved the stock symbol M for Microsoft, if they ever jump ship from Nasdaq.

That's awesome! Thanks.

Actually, it seems to be a "car-and-mouse game." (TFA) In that case, I bet on the car.

I don't think they can afford it. XM is losing money.
You didn't think of it. The fact that it's a mouse in a sock is WHY it's so f'n clever. Geez, take your meds.

Now you've got my attention. Where can I sign up for their newsletter?
We should really be focusing on dinosaurs.
I'm glad I'm a programmer.
I could use this while I'm fixing my car.
I was expecting to be modded funny, but it didn't work.
Some of us wouldn't call it luck...
What the hell?
I'm not sure what you're referring to. The station in question already exists.
