I noticed this too, I highly doubt a bot did this. In fact, on that page, King George is not refered to as King George, but rather as "George, King of England." The card was addressed to "King George II." This is a bit much for even the most intelligent bot.
He should either have the and, or the commas, not both. He even forgot one of the commas. I took my preference there and also fixed his punctuation at the end. Periods go inside quotes.
It is highly irresponsible for Slashdot to use inconsequencial political choices to dictate who you will link to. The Los Angeles Times is universally recognized as the West Coast's only newspaper of record. The New York Times is the world's newspaper of record. The only acceptable reason to reject The Wall Street Journal is that they require payment for online reading, for most articles. But the register-only sites are the best news sources in the world and you only drag Slashdot further and further into a netherworld of popular standards rather than respected standards of professional journalism.

Uhm, have you used it? I have written entire custom filters to block users, or specific content, or both. I have the choice of any editor I want, and the ability to switch editors in the middle of a post! If I am writing a one line response, I stick within gate and when I want to write paragraphs of text, switching to vi is a no brainer. I can customize the display of comments in ANY way I want, not simply within the silly green and grey framework. Or how about the REALLY neat ability recently developed by Dr. Jan Wolter to read and post to one PicoSpan/YAPP site from another? Let's see Slash let me post to Kuro5hin without bringing up a new window.
But then again, I have put in a combined fifteen years on these systems. I know them inside and out.

Actually, no. Picospan is still more powerful, and faster, which is amazing since it was written in 1983.
I recently retired from the Board of The WELL's philosphical and bizzare parent M-Net. While it irks us to see them get more publicity than we get, it would be a shame to see them go. I wish them WELL. Especially because my email address is howardjp@well.com:)
Okay, there have been quite a few answers here that are wrong. The javac Sun itself ships is written in Java. Sign up and download the source code. It is a fun read.
He deserves to moderated as a troll. How many kernels are there? Two? HA! Let's see, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, XMach, Darwin, well that's the five I use on a daily basis right there.

I call bullshit unless you can produce a case.
They at least made the source available.
Excellent point. I stand corrected.

No, in both cases, the correct word is formerly. They were formerly formally of ION Storm. :)

That should be, "Oh, by the way, it would be 'You're commenting.'"
You're not really Aaron Sorkin, are you?

Okay, I am tired of seeing uninformed shit here about rounding. Five always rounds up:
0,1,2,3,4 -> down
5,6,7,8,9 -> up
That way, you get an even alignment.
The WELL just installed it a week or so ago and it has been great! It tags correctly about 97% of the time and that is fantastic!
Can someone explain the Lone Gunman reference?

Wait, OBSD isn't XCU (and don't you dare make this as troll because my name is on the PR that got it into FreeBSD).
HA! Some time ago, a report came out that all the big and heavy (breathing?) porn sites ran FreeBSD. That caused some entertainment in the community.
Mod this up. This post is pretty brilliant and it shows more insight than the submitter has.
Yes, Perl is a toy language. There is nothing useful that can be done in Perl that cannot be done better in C, Bourne, or PHP.

Hey, I haven't had a first post in ages!
Begging the question is a specific scientific term. That makes as much sense as "Kinda anthrax" What does it mean?
No, it does not beg the question. Begging the question means to present a circular argument.
That segfaults on my Linux machine. Worked fine under FreeBSD and returned a 2000+ line file.
