First of all, the other 69 laptops are mine. In my defense, they made me put them down to run through security theater, but then I got distracted with all of the groping and untested radiating equipment and then they took my guns, blowtorch and batarang, so excuse me for being a little stressed and forgetting about the laptops.
I have an amazing trick to share with you. Each time that I check into Slashdot I scan the headlines of the current stories, back to a story that I saw last time that I was on the site. It isn't hard, I usually don't even have to use the "Older" link at the bottom of the page; Slashdot just doesn't post that much. And I don't have to even read the articles, let alone do any RTFA. If I get to the bottom of the page then "Older" will give me an older set of stories and then I'm caught up.
I can do this in just a few minutes, and I'm not even getting paid to do it. Perhaps you could do this too.
Of course, I realize that it would be a LOT more work than you put into your job now, and obviously your superiors don't give a damn about how well you actually do your job. It was just a suggestion and I'm pretty sure that you'll ignore it.
I see no evidence that the new editors were trained at all. Neither in the selection of new stories nor in the basic proof reading of the summaries. If Tim taught the new staff anything it was what they could get away with. How did I miss out on the job of being a Slashdot editor? I've always wanted a job that involved no physical labor and no mental labor and no oversight of performance.
But when will it be illegal for editors to re-post the same stories over and over on Slashdot? I'm not even a paid editor who's job it should be in part to at least keep up with what has already been posted, but I've spotted several stories today that are re-posts of things seen here in recent days. It just isn't that hard to review just the headlines of the stories when you check in to Slashdot going back to the last time you checked in. If simple (and simple minded) readers can spot the dups then someone being compensated as an editor should reasonably be expected to do the same.
Giving it away free hurts sales. Prostitutes could have told them this and saved a lot of research. An analogy that has even more meaning when you consider the TV distributors involved.
O.K. I do understand that this will reveal my primary school education was not from the public school system and I don't really want to seem elitist by demonstrating my obvious superiority over you. but "name calling" is not one word, it is two.
O.K. So Obama's got the N.S.A. working to hack the Russian banking system and start WWIII. So what? Besides, he's black so any suggestion that someone is hacking your banking system is racist. And because you're racist you deserve to be hacked.
There Liberals. I made your argument for you so now you don't have to. You can get back to crying and feeling sorry for yourself and packing to move to Canada because the most hated woman in America didn't win an election. And by the way, thanks for not listening to Bernie when he told you that his polling showed that he could beat Trump and Hillary couldn't. He was right, by the way. The country would have elected even a communist nut job like him over Trump, but they sure wouldn't elect HRC.
No, they removed 40% of the sugar. That doe not mean that they didn't sneak in one of the chemistry set artificial sweeteners that will kill you but bought their way past the FDA.
This is Slashdot. There is no fact checking or editing here.
My question is "Was he really 71?" Or was that maybe just his "Hollywood age"? It seems hard to believe that he was in only his 50 when he did Firefly. Of course I know people age at different rates (look at Wilfred Brimley playing a senile citizen in Cocoon when he was in his 40's for another example), but Glass always seemed much older to me.
Oh, we just completely ignore some of the words in the name! I understand now. It is just like the rest of the time that NASA completely ignores things that are right there.
And... it's not the dems requesting it, which is surprising.
Fool. Stein has supposedly raised more money for this bogus recount which she can't win than she raised on her entire campaign. Only states that Trump won are being contested, not states that were even closer but Hillary supposedly won. Of course it is the Democrats (and Soros) behind this, Stein is just a shill because Hillary made such an issue of contesting an election not being "Presidential".
Jill Stein is calling for recounts in three states where Hillary lost and not calling for recounts in New Hampshire, Minnesota & Nevada, three states where the results were even closer but in those states Hillary "won". Somehow Stein has gained more money for recounts ($4.7 m) than she managed to raise in her entire campaign ($3 m), even though clearly no Stein supporter believes that she will pick up enough votes to win any state. Gee Hillary, we wonder where all that money is coming from.
Ossietzky Prize, for "outstanding efforts for freedom of expression."
It is nice to see Norway honor free speech and protection of citizens from abusive government spying with this great prize and a free trip to the United States (or maybe just Guantanamo Bay).

Thank you for making it clear that it is my fault that your post was so ambiguous.

Once again the eloquent liberal argument has put me in my place. And has shown all of us your place as well.
O.K. I do understand that this will reveal my primary school education was not from the public school system and I don't really want to seem elitist by demonstrating my obvious superiority over you. but "name calling" is not one word, it is two.
OK, I agree to avoid the low effort trolling in the future if liberals agree to stop making it so easy.
I find your argument far more eloquent and persuasive that I had expected you to be capable of.

Sorry, but Nestle "chocolate" already tastes awful. I'm not shocked that they can't ruin it further without taking over Palmer or Zacarey.

This is great. We all know how effective UNSUBSCRIBE is, particularly when it is a site that you didn't really subscribe to in the first place.
So in the fine NASA tradition we simply ignore some of the stuff that is there?
Well that makes so much more sense. It must stand for Shallow Subsurface Radar. No bullshit there at all.
Oh, we just completely ignore some of the words in the name! I understand now. It is just like the rest of the time that NASA completely ignores things that are right there.
I'm tired of all the lies that NASA keeps coming up with, but how the heck do they get SHARD from Shallow Subsurface Radar?
No fair using common sense against unarmed Liberals.
So why Michigan? There is no "electronic voting" in Michigan, it is all paper ballot.
What do you claim that I made up? Or are you just unable to comprehend the facts?
And... it's not the dems requesting it, which is surprising.
