If it helps, the food at those macaroni grill places is pretty terrible. They don't serve grilled macaroni, oddly enough. They just give you a look like you're the stupidest person they ever met if you ask.
We had a similar shafting at my company, where drones got much less than queens. The solution, of course, was a healthy application of toilet paper to their houses.
Your original post seemed to bemoan the frivolity of the hoi polloi. It common to see geeks in general (and slashdot readers in specific) assume a Monty Burns-esque air of superiority when addressing the concerns of the masses.
Oh come off it. If you buy oil, you're supporting the muder of innocents. If you buy a car, you're supporting corporations that will dump american workers in exchange for cheap foriegn labor. If you buy a hamburger, you're supporting the destruction of the rainforest.
If you think that an author driving tipsy is the worst thing your money is paying for, you've got another thing coming.
Can I peruse your personal history so that I'm a more "fullly informed" slashdot reader?
I want to know who I'm dealing with here.
In fact, I want to know if my liquor store clerk has ever been charged with littering. I want to know if the guy making my lunch likes to wear women's underwear. It's my right to be fully informed, isn't it?
Apparently, Jeff Bezos loves pedophiles (he's a pedophile-phile) because he rejected the review three times.
You know that amazon.com isn't a one-man show, right? It's not like Jeff Bezos is in charge of reviewing reviews.
"Oooh, this guy doesn't like pedophiles! DELETED!"
Anyway, it's childish to slander a person because they don't feel that your review is helpful. It's especially childish to slander someone completely unrelated to the rejection.
Regarding Mr. Naughton: should we not buy books from those who are convicted of driving while intoxicated? Surely these swine can't be allowed to have carreers in the publishing industry!
Did microsoft give people free upgrades from 98 to ME? Has there been some sort of "free upgrades until the end of time" precedent set by any other commercial operating system vendor?
If you want a free operating system, you know where to get it.
Then there was the time I accidentally misspelled "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury" as "I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you! And burn your goddanmed houses down!"
Yes, Fallout was a neat game, but it's bordering on sacrilege to compare it to classics that Square has produced. Is anyone going to notice Fallout's impact on the gaming scene five years from now? Are they even noticing it now?
Nah, Face was just, uhm, Face. He never really did anything except for the odd con-job. He did drive a wicked-cool vette, tho, so he's not completely without merit.
Hannibal liked to act in monster flicks. Remember the opening scene when he's in the lizard costume?
There were a couple episodes that centered around Universal Studios, where Hannibal had some ridiculous role in a movie.
Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

You seem to be unclear on how domain name registrars work, specifically this one. They don't hand you whatever you'd like, if they did, the whole system would be pointless.
You've got to agree to and abide by a TOS. You can't just waltz in and order hotwang.kids.us.

Yes, if I was speaking Greek, you would be correct.
Since hoi polloi is being used as an English noun, it's not entirely incorrect to say "the hoi polloi".

I meant no offense, honestly.
Oh, but you're so much more enlightened, posting on slashdot.
Those poor fools, out having a good time!
No, I think he means HID as in Human Interface Device

Uhm, doesn't that pretty much say it all right there, then?
Personal vendettas have no place in objective reviews.
As an aside to whoever moderatted my earlier post, you can mod this as "flamebait", too. Lord protect us from those with opinions.
1: Place hands on sides of head.
2: Pull upward until head detaches from body.
3: ???
4: Die!

Take that, Anonymous Coward's beliefs!
Steve Gibson is an asshat with a product to sell.
I wouldn't take any of his advice. He's a paranoid nutter just shy of wearing a tinfoil hat.
Nope, there was an episode where BA got shot in the leg, right at the start of the show.
I can't remember too much else about it, other than it was some country bumpkin lady doctor who fixed him up.
Oh, and I remember that the A-Team won at the end.
Nah, Face was just, uhm, Face. He never really did anything except for the odd con-job. He did drive a wicked-cool vette, tho, so he's not completely without merit.

They seemed to find work wherever they went.
The real mystery is how Hannibal maintained his off-hours job as an actor.
Talent scout: "Aren't you the same Hannibal that's wanted by pretty much every law enforcement agency in the country?"
Hannibal: "No, that's a different Hannibal."
Suspension of disbelief, indeed.
