Because in a list, a comma is only a substitute for and when an and comes at the end of the list. A, B, and C. Instead of saying A and B and C.
Did you even read rule 2? That's a serious ESL issue. Rule 2 relates to the usage of and in amongst adjectives.
Use a comma to separate two adjectives when the word and can be inserted between them.
Are you claiming that "news for nerds", which contains 2 nouns and a preposition is an adjective?
It's at best a noun-phrase which describes the site, but it is not being directly used as as an adjective. It's being used as a motto. Even then rule 2 does not say that a comma is a substitute for "And" it says that AND would be wholly inappropriate in that situation.
Seriously if you're going to come to the big boy party bring your A game.
the comma would indicate that "stuff that matters" relates to the "news for nerds" not that it is creating a second category of news items. Otherwise if you were creating a list of independent things the last item should be proceeded by an "and"
And honestly I have no idea why the iphone, ipad and ipod could not be blacklisted as well. this would make the street value of the stolen i devices to go ZERO.
Ipads and ipods are entirely different products. Their primary function has nothing to do with cellular data and the vast majority of people do not use them on cellular networks. A 3G ipad which has been blacklisted is still just a regular wifi ipad, and those are still worth a non-zero amount of money.
Not to mention anything which can be rooted and its firmware replaced is pretty hard to blacklist.
If they bricked on being connected to itunes, thieves would know that, and connect them to something else to open them up first.
But you're right, its just as simple and fool proof as that.
No, but if you were running a half-way house for black criminals you might want to know if they were a member of the KKK If you were running an abortion clinic, you might want to know if they were a member of a radical church etc
They have no problem turning off the autocomplete on "dirty" words to protect the children, but painting some guy as a criminal? fair game... Your time has come and gone.
I've searched before for something and gotten a recommendation for alternative spellings. In the case where it gave me the "did you mean xxx?" I clicked it and it gave me only 4 results. While my original search gave me well over 200. I can't fathom the logic behind that one.
About two months ago I was searching for something, and I remember being annoyed enough with the results that google was posting to go try searching on Bing *shudder*
The problem was, despite using quotes, google was not searching the exact term I had entered. It was two months ago so I don't remember the exact term, but the problem was of the nature where it was modifying the end of the word. In that case it was making a significant enough change that I wasn't remotely finding what I wanted, despite the quotes.
I think in the near future google is going to start to find out they're not immortal. They've really been going downhill..
Another big annoyance is a removal of the timeline from the news archive searches. I used to find that extremely useful. You could easily search for a term, then narrow down the date visually by clicking the year, then the month. Now you've just got raw results that you can only sort ascending or descending, but you've got no idea where clumps of stories may occur or anything like that.
How do you say moron in English? Do you think any of these authors were doing any infringing themselves, or were you just so desperate to make that predictable joke that you couldn't bother to take your brain out of idiot mode long enough to think about it?
Canadians have dealt with it for years. It's much more obvious to us since we get american channels and ads and everything else. Back when the Canadian dollar stopped being garbage it took a long time for book sellers to reset their prices. When the dollar sucked and waslike 63 cents us, we were paying 6.99USD/10.99CAD for books. Then finally the dollar shot up and was work 1.02 USD. But the book companies didn't adjust their prices. This went on for a month or two and people started getting really ticked off. They could buy it in the US and ship it cheaper. I think their solution was to raise the US price.
and yet it amounts to the same thing. Whether it's a paid person doing it or some diehard fanboys, it comes across exactly the same. The real "fail" is the inability of linux fanboys to differentiate themselves from paid shills.
Which was proceeded by the apple astro-turfing and the on-going linux astro-turfing that overlapped both.. don't pretend microsoft has some kind of monopoly on that.
Travel more. Tablets are all over Korea. I see tons every day. Coffee shops, subway, bus, etc. yes, lots of smart phones, but its easier to whip out a smart phone than to pull the tablet out of your bag. Just because someone has a smart phone in their hand doesn't mean the don't have a tablet in their bag that they're going to use when they get into a more comfortable place.

It's not always been there, I see:
"Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters"
at the top of my browser.
No "and"
Are you fucking retarded?

I would suggest that if you knew anything about the USA you wouldn't really find this surprising at all.
Yes, because klansmen show up to interviews in their dress frocks, or members of radical churches come in thumping bibles.
hell, if I was going to hire a science teacher, I'd like to know if they're a creationist.
Half-way houses have janitors, and so do abortion clinics.
They might also need security staff, maintenance people, laundry services, etc.
Every teen and young adult who has self-diagnosed themselves with "asperger's syndrome"?
No, but if you were running a half-way house for black criminals you might want to know if they were a member of the KKK
If you were running an abortion clinic, you might want to know if they were a member of a radical church
etc
I would pay to actually see that. Obviously Timothy or one of his socks has mod points right now.

I read that quickly and thought he said he had 3 slide rules.
I thought he could use them as table legs.
You could almost make a table out of those and a piece of wood

I don't quite get the gist of what you're saying.
I don't think anyone who uses a mac or a linux system should accuse anyone who uses window of cult-like thinking.
