I believe the real irony hear is in the notion of a Slashdot editor trying to correct someone else's grammar usage.

I agree with you totally. In fact, I know what firefox does - use it every day - but I am mystified by these ads. For example, are the people in the ads screaming and having their heads blown off because they just tried firefox and think it is the coolest thing since sliced bread? Or are they using IE and so totally annoyed at it they loose all semblance of sanity? Personally, I haven't a clue.
How in the world is this insightful? The sentence says the temperature will rise 11K. Since the grandparent sentence explicitly references temperature, and the parent poster clearly knows what kelvin means, is he just deliberatly being dense?
A lot of radio sucks, yes. But not all. Check out WMFU. I am lucky enough to live within broadcasting range. And I want to listen to it on my MP3 player dammit! So screw Apple, I'll get a different player. But I really was hoping they would get it right this time.
I want a radio in my MP3 player because that is what I want. Why do you not want a radio in your MP3 player?
When I am at the gym, I listen to news on my MP3 player and when I get tired of news I listen to MP3s. I do not want to have to carry two devices. If Apple won't provide it, I'll go somerwhere else.
I'm so tired of people on slashdot assuming that since they operate in x manner, everyone else should too.
My point was the submitter said that "as predicted, the format war has only just begun." Which implies that the submiter knows how the format war ends.
My original post was mostly me being anal about imprecise language. Which I use as a form of work avoidance.

I have a solution to your problem:
Only check the website once a day.
Next problem?
Yeah, but it comes with a t-shirt! That makes all the difference!
Doh!
:)
(I will submit that is a spelling mistake and not grammar, though

Why is that Christianity is the only religion it is still ok to hate?
Christianity is not the only religion it is ok to hate. I find them all equally reprehensible. (Said with tongue only partially in cheek).
I also like how the counter increments at constant regular intervals. Seems like firefox is being downloaded precisely once every second.
I would hardly seems like it could be the actual number in real time.
From the article summary
"access to which lasts as long as subscription is valid"
Seems pretty explicit to me.
You might say they were grown in ivory towers, even.
Ar ar, sorry couldn't resist.
And here I always thought they were admonishing poor Different to think, but forgot the comma.
We know of species that have disappeared because they inflicted ecological disaster on themselves
I'm curious - which species are you referring to?
Not only that but it was also a perfect opportunity for Zonk to let loose with a couple of nicely chosen, offensive stereotypes.
Way to go! Keep up those professional standards that we have come to expect!
Send them their *what*? Now you have me wondering. Send them their shoes? Send them their garden hoses?
The mind boggles.

Ummm, isn't that what USB sticks are?
Very nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Bah humbug.
All I want is an ipod mini with a frickin' built in radio. Is that so much to ask?
Looks lilke I'll have to go for the iRiver or Creative instead...
If you don't feel like registering, just go to BugMeNot. Does the trick every time. Even better, get firefox and the bugmenot plug in.
Yeah I remembered that after I had already pressed the submit button. Oh well, such is life.
Not to mention the fact he is constantly doing little more then plugging Micro$oft products.
I believe he's the CEO of the company. That could part of the job description.
Or do you really expect him to say "The new Microsoft Foo is worthless crap - don't buy it." ?

How exactly does one claim success here?
Slashdot needs a new moderation -1:Obvious joke.
