Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for our mistake and have just broomed several pounds of dust and confetti (from our last retirement party--those shards on the right panel? Just our $1,500 chalices) on your solar panels. We will seize and replace your newly dusty solar panels with the correct premium-only gasoline engine (or an enormously expensive panel replacement) for your vehicle, on your next inspection and/or once we buy out the company that produces them to the chagrin of our government benefactors.
We assure you that our commitments to ancient energy technologies and unreasonable executive raises have not been abandoned.
Don't scream "google gave them money" too loud, anonymous internet users might start seeking legal damages. Oh wait, it's Mozilla, corporate laws don't apply to them or Ron Colbert Torvalds or whatever becomes Anonymous's next groupthink choice.
Always assume the target of a "Donate!" button doesn't need donations. Then check their finances. If there's no finances to check (as was Mozilla's case when they started the drive), don't give.
I'll incorporate your entire comment by reference--mainly because I absolutely agree with every single sentence, word, and letter of it, to the extent that I've become an instant fan of yours--and further add that ever since I heard of and realized what both Canvas and HTML5 were, I thought one thing in each case: STOP REINVENTING THE FUCKING WHEEL.
We already have XHTML 1.0. The rules there respect XML--which is at least a partial subset of SGML--and force people to actually write something that fits into a grammar, unlike whatever the browsers allow. No need to switch to something that has no consistent foundations in (SG|X)ML. When I read the WHATTF spec (or lack thereof) I almost cried; it's like Kristi Yamaguchi found the perfect plan for landing 4 triple axels* while keeping the rest of the routine in beat with whatever music was in the BG, and then said "You know, that might've been a bad idea, let me do a forward flip slamming my head into the ice instead, those judges will love it!".
The W3C (or what's left of it that's not churning out redundant language after redundant language) needs to grow a pair and revert to XHTML 1.0 and SVG, and HTML5, "Canvas", and WHATWG (I think I might have spelled it wrong above after a fit of trauma-inspired imaginary nausea, sorry) need to be removed from this universe (and any others) by guillotine or Cutey Honey. Hell, forget the guillotine...and the removal...
*No, not a car analogy. It's bad enough that it's a figure-skating one.
Comcast [...] have their eggs in more than one basket with increasing revenues coming in from arena management and programming with VS. [...] but I'm not switching and losing OnDemand TV and my local NBA team games as a result.
For me that would be a reason to switch right away, to say nothing of my feelings about Cablevision--owners of Madison Square Garden--and the West Side Stadium incident where MSG paid for and made TV spots to gain anti-Stadium support.
Yesterday, Bush told Americans to continue with their login sessions, but to look out for suspicious threads. Hackers worldwide, meanwhile, called Bush's anti-terrorist-thread practices--both on the desktop and over the network--"thinly-veiled discrimination" against O(c^n) processes, and plan to stage a general protection fault on September 11.
When asked for comment, Intel simply sent a letter describing how their latest Core 2 Duo could do an infinite loop in just 3 seconds, instead of 5 like "that free operating system thingy".
that's a cyclic effect that primarily appears when posting AC.
Indeed. The power of privacy that comes with being an Alternating Commenter can be electrifying but is sometimes a revolting experience. It's sometimes better to take charge and post directly as your user name instead.
It sounds coherent up to the "bundles" part, though--after all, anyone who's signed up for a Double/Triple/n-tuple Play has probably contracted away their rights to protest all the packet shaping and net-neutrality intrusion (if not their soul...).
it's got a little bit of a bug where if you try to get the sub to surface it will occasionally launch all of its missiles
Oh, come on. Every nuclear sub manufacturer/terrorist I know gives their nuclear subs Depend® submarine undergarments for those inevitable incontinent moments.
Whether your subs have crappy open-source code or Windows 3.1, you can get all you want out of disastrous global thermonuclear war(TM) with Depend®!

If it has a badass Gatling spitball gun made of hollow plastic lollipop sticks and rubber bands, yes.
...or maybe not, I just wanted to say "badass Gatling spitball gun" in a slashdot post.
Or maybe he just wants us to use a better browser...IE Firefox!
(It's the new experience that combines Quick Tabs and ActiveX with Greasemonkey and memory mismanagement. Everyone loves and hates it at once!)

You assume mods promote groupthink for being "original and intelligent".

You do not want to trade that "No one but you will be able to hear it" Codec for a G'zOne with a Hind-D nearby.
Verizon Guy: *Calls 911* *911 alarm* Can you hear me n *machinegun fire* *death yell*
Colonel: Verizon Guy, what happened? Verizon Guy? VERIZON GUUUUUYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Mei: Is he dead???
Colonel: Good riddance. I was yelling to get those overtime voice-acting checks.
Sadly, they called off the cage match a day later. They agreed that fighting over Google's new android girlfriend was just silly.
Would've been fun to see James "The Java Guy" Gosling taking on the giant GMail server room.

Oh, quit it. Slashdotters would never stoop to some stupid low like groupthink.
See, you would've known that already if you got Firefox, registered with Ron Paul 2008, and stopped watching CNN.
I say take back the prize. No penance until they make an NEDM pie.
Never mind things like Goatse. Thanks to the internet, the only word in the title that doesn't yet have dirty connotations to me is "theory".
Heck, some are working to change that too.

My BFF Jill owns one of those. I don't. TISNF.
I'd have watched it, but it was after 11:00 PM and I still didn't know where my citations were.
I'm not too worried though; I hear NBC is showing To Revert an Editor later this week.

To me, a mashup is two or more songs mixed together in a specific way...if anything.
In either case I like that word about as much as "blogosphere".
That's gotta be the most annoying compression algorithm in the world.
I can't even get one one night stand, you insensitive clod!

SHOOOOOOOOOORYUK--BOOM HEADSHOT!!!
In an interview with the New York Times, Ballmer calls this "ridiculous" and says "I LOVE this environment!!! WOOOOO!!!"
He's just trying to break wind--I mean step with the usual Slashdot submitters.
