Goddamnit! thought you were bitching about a comment. Nevermind. there are no editors here. baah...back to work.

that's not how slashdot works. This is a truly free speech zone. That's what moderation is for. It buries but never deletes which is a much better system. For those who truly want to read everything set to -1 and fill your boots. For the rest of us set it from 1 to 5 as per your own preference and you can avoid reading totally horrible stuff.

You might just be joking around but the day I attribute a level of soul to an inanimate object is the day I start looking for mine.

You mean those hot women that are following me are not real?!

You don't need to tweet for twitter to be useful. Many people follow others or use it to keep on top of things. For example, if there is a minor earthquake somewhere there is no better place to really find out what happened quickly than twitter. "Holy crap, #EARTHQUAKE, shook the building for 30 seconds"

After I started learning to code very late in life I realized that I will never finish learning and probably will never be as good at it than really good coders. But on the flip side I don't want to be someone who is paid to code. I am building these skills to enhance the ones I already have and just for fun.

Dammit, the link don't work

Nice writing, holy crap. I meant;
