This is just a personal theory so don't ask for citations. I think some people become a dick about their affinity for a product because we all want to be right. Some people feel attacked when their decision on a product is called into question, directly or indirectly, and what you see is the result of a person attempting to reestablish their "correctness" under the stress of possible invalidation. Our instincts tell us the fastest way to be recognized as correct is to establish dominance so the person tries to browbeat their "attackers" into submission and eventually, agreement.
I like the disk pooling. It's like volume management for all the little drives you have scattered about the house.
Apparently the disk pooling is done by Greyhole. It seems quite novel in that you get JBOD with user-selectable redundancy, a "JBOD concatenation storage pool" as the author calls it. I might finally have found a home for all those old IDE drives I have laying around!
If there's one thing we can count on foreigners for, it's leaving out context. I am going to just go ahead and assume that the "Carla" you refer to is "Carla's Salon, Boutique and Meeting Place for the Transgender Community" and leave it at that. I am sure they thank you for your support.
...and if there's one thing that Slashdot 'readers' can be relied on is not to read things. Not even, in this case, the first two words of the summary.
I thought the one thing we could rely on Slashdot 'readers' to do was woooooosh.
My favorite part of your link, which sums up my thoughts quite nicely, was 'So... still no Evil Dead 4. It's a good thing I just created that "Crushing Disappointment" tag.'
What is wrong with putting your REAL name on the internet THE ONLY thing that NEEDS to be public IS YOUR NAME. Not even a profile pic. Why is this such a big issue for people?
Says the AC. Anyway, some people behave a bit differently online or even flat out create a separate persona for one reason or another and don't want it to get back to them.
stuff your watch in your jacket pocket before it goes through the X-ray (because they tell you to keep it on, it always beeps though, leading to a pat down)
"Watch"? Isn't that one of those quaint old devices people used to wear on their wrists to tell the time, before the invention of cellphones?
It's also a device that doesn't need charging, can be used as a compass if the sun's up and depending on where you're traveling, is less likely to be stolen due to the relative difficulty of removing it from your person.
But, consider - do you throw yourself out of bed and transport yourself to a designated location at a designated time 5 days a week? This doesn't bother you? How about standing in line for 20 minutes just for the privilege of paying for some trivial thing? Or, giving 50 percent of your income away to a half a dozen taxing agencies who mostly do things with it that you don't care for or approve of?
Life sucks all over, and TSA security theater is just the latest absurdity to come along
If I spend enough time thinking about it there are certainly a lot of things I put up with without complaint but air travel is still the only one where I'm treated like a potential criminal simply for choosing to go somewhere.
It's like any other B.S. in life, if you do it enough, it doesn't bother you. TSA will always be a sore spot for a lot of people because they just don't encounter it often enough to develop the social callouses.
I fly at least monthly and it still bothers me, it has since 2001. The only way to get through the TSA line quickly is to smile politely and be half-naked by the time it's your turn. Take off your belt, stuff your watch in your jacket pocket before it goes through the X-ray (because they tell you to keep it on, it always beeps though, leading to a pat down), remove your shoes and hold your boarding pass in your teeth so your hands are free to throw everything on the belt. It kind of takes the fun out of traveling for some reason....
The difference is that Chrome was doing this from day one so people could just accept it as a quirk; FF had an established system and changed it for no great reason, imho.
Slashdot Mirror
I used to use "you fight like a dairy farmer".
Even if Facebook really didn't disable this guy's account for running a Google+ ad they have effectively become an ad for Google+ themselves.
Not the first thing I would think of if I felt a burning sensation down there. You might want to go see a doctor.
Happy to assist! As a long-time Slashdotter, I thrive on pedantry!
Tastes kind of like my basement.... :(
(Side note: it's “My Eyes! The goggles do nothing!”)

Careful, you may invoke APK
Personally, I'd love to see some kind of APK/Dr. Bob crossover. Maybe about how maintaining a good HOSTS file prevents subluxations.
DNF was finished...
People who've played it would disagree.

potentially dangerous and deadly as reproduction
Dangerous and deadly to people not involved in the act? I'd like to see that.
Clearly you've never done it medieval style!

It is goatse. It's always the same link or an easily recognizable variation of it.
Watch this thread get swarmed by nerds with bee puns.

We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.
Ahhh well... thanks anyway!
Keep trying throughout the day. I got the same message at first but 15 minutes later I could sign up without problems.

I know! I've been here for years and that asshole Taco still hasn't given me a bag of peanuts!

MySpace improved my opinion of Geocities!
Received two invites already. Thanks to both of you!
If you have an invite to spare please send one to abstrackt (at) gmail.com. Thanks for spreading the love!
Now if he could just get the classic discussion system working for user 666...
All you have to do is log in and change it. :p
