99% of people who depend on Node.js don't give a flying fart about what pronouns are used in COMMENTS in the library

Apparently Ben Noordhuis does.

And it's not the first time they've blown up rockets rather than shooting them into space.

To be fair, the mechanics of the two things can be very similar.

Just what it says, I imagine - your app sucks.

"We haven't finished inventing it yet, but when we do, it'll be awesome."

XKCD seems to be pretty spot on here.

And it's fucking annoying!

Gosh, how awful of Microsoft to let their research labs get on with research, rather than constantly cramming corporate identity branding down their throats.

Truly evil.

Out of curiosity, what would you use an "HTC Sync Manager" for?

I have an M7, and I've never heard of such a thing.

English is a naturally ambiguous language

What an odd thing to say. It's not any more or less ambiguous than almost any other language.

You do, however, need to apply a modicum of effort to make sure that whatever word slop you just barfed on the page is readable to others. Slashdot "editors" notoriously refuse to do so, though.

Yup, I'm getting 0.06813 mm per frame.

Pretty damn impressive, but then again, that thing apparently can only record 6 frames at a time, making the whole article misleading to the point of being complete bullshit.

Tim Choate who played my favorite character, Zathras

Don't forget he also played my favorite character: Zathras.

Just... fuck you.

That's what 'arbitrary' means.

This mission will put a new spotlight on Pluto and its âoedwarf planetâ status, potentially highlighting its current classification as a woefully inadequate description of such a dynamic and interesting binary system.

Ok, so it's a "binary dwarf planet" - can we tone down the prose now?

Planet and Dwarf Planet are arbitrary labels defined by the IAU.

How can you "debate" about that?

So far, these are the words in the question that no one can agree on a definition for:

1. stream
2. media
3. consume
4. percentage

Roughly in descending order of disagreement.
