When people are enthusiastic about something on the Internet, it usually comes across as either sarcasm or astroturfing, so I think it's somewhat reasonable for him to explain that it's neither.

Thanks for the review, you just gave me an idea for what I'm going to be getting my nephews for their respective birthdays.
Really, I can imagine that as some sort of quip to any number of things. It just seems sarcastic (in a funny way).
For a while, I thought that that was because of my custom stylesheet, but then I disabled it and found out that it was just another addition to the list of things wrong with Slashdot's layout.
My company does visual effects too, so the color-shifting effect is really frustrating for the artists.
You're damn right it is! Sometimes I can't tell whether something has a gradient or if it's just the monitor. And light grey (say #eee) appears lighter than white (#fff) when viewed from above at say a 20 degree angle. Other shades appear cyan at vertical angles and red at horizontal angles.
Of course, the point seems moot because it seems to me that there are plenty of bulk candy stores around here that don't have such nutritional information on the bins, which I dunno how they get around that (maybe they simply make the info available to anyone who asks for it?).
Because nobody cares and nobody reports it? It's not like the FDA and the FTC go around looking for violations.

5 minutes into the outage you could seach for "rackspace" and see that Twitter is down too.
It was only the home.php code, so I wouldn't call it Facebook's source code. It wasn't part of the backend; it was mostly code that included other code.
I'm not sure how much more bandwidth that YouTube demands over Facebook or Amazon (if it does) [...]
Two years ago, it was reported that YouTube accounted 20% of all HTTP traffic and 10% of all Internet traffic, and I can't imagine that its popularity would have waned since then.
Actually that would be over nine million thousand. Don't worry, though—you're only six orders of magnitude off. You could work at NASA with that kind of cunning.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe he speaks Engrish and folgot how to spell "rude" correctry.

Actually, Libraries of Congress have been burned before with interesting results.
Written true to Congress form, with, unusual commas, and everything.
In all seriousness, though, that's not how they work.

Knock it off. Just use "data" as a singular noun like everybody else.

FTFY.
I'm pretty sure that the OP's example was just an example to explain the concept, and that that's not how this actually works.

So, yeah, it does.
Secretly selling all the data it accumulates on its users?
It also lists things that msconfig misses.
433 MB used to run XP? Mine's at less than 200 MB. Use nLite.
No, it's just the size, no matter what you pretend to believe.
It's a bit like Poe's Law; you can't be too sure.
I don't get what you're saying. Could you please summarize that?
What's a Cowardon?
Am I the only one seeing this? I think somebody messed up their CSS.
Why did the bird need such a computer program?
No, but I do hang out with my wang out.
The first thing that comes to mind when reading "Oh God no, a tweaker" is "What does methamphetamine have to do with Gentoo?"
But on second thought, I suppose it probably has a lot to do with it.
Indeed, it's almost impossible to play without at least the Unofficial Oblivion Patch and some sort of levelling mod.
