You still clicked though, didn't you? That's all it takes. And.. oh, damn, I did it too! We seriously have to stop if we ever hope to have a Bennett-free slashdot...

And to top it off, it does not even mention how great it is to live in the Ecuadorian embassy, the world's nicest embassy.

I can't handle summaries more than 3-4 lines long, can someone sum it up for me?

but that rubbish site "medium.com" came up. They are not tricking me into reading crap again.

... for the successful rick-rolling goes to the "informative" mods...
Even though "beats the 64bit integer" was very obvious BS, I still clicked...

Hmm, looking into it I do read that at least the original iPhone had the Gorilla Glass. However, I am not "making shit up", several iPhone 4 and 4s in the office had very scratched screens to the point that they were replaced, and we found out this was a very common replacement. The Galaxy phones do not seem to scratch. I have a Galaxy S3 with no screen protector with me for the last couple of years and it does not even have a minor scratch. Coincidence? I don't know. But why are Apple products not listed in the Corning page with the full list of products with Gorilla Glass?

I thought I read that this game had a review embargo until the release day, isn't that right? So they knew and they just tried to hide it. I don't see an apology to that.

They don't seem to care about losing customers. Perhaps they know that their customers are mostly fans who will always buy whatever overpriced gadget they throw at them, as long as the new product carries a new buzzword or two. That's what the sapphire screen was, a buzzword, and that is made clear by the fact that instead of switching to something about as effective like Gorilla glass, they shipped a scratch-able glass screen instead. It was not about using the best material for their screen, it was just about using the most marketable material. When the plan failed, their response was to change the marketing campaign.
In the meantime, at the office, all iphones without protectors are full of scratches, while the Samsungs have mostly pristine screens...

Every slashdot reader and their mother, to say nothing of the dog, hate reading these inane Haselton blog posts, why do they keep being posted? I mean most of the posts on these "stories" are about how stupid the "story" is, showing it is probably the only Slashdot feature that is more annoying than the beta, and yet they keep on coming... Is there some sort of strong affiliation? Is slashdot simply paid by this Bennett guy? If it is, I would probably be more understanding - I know how the world works - just tell us it is so and we will move on...

Well, it was supposed to be kind of an old wreck back in Episode IV, I guess by now it is a wonder it is flying at all...

... it is now the Hour and Ten Minutes of Code campaign.

What is the point? And what's the plan, dig out all the coal and ship it off somewhere?

It is actually very inexpensive to send water in space, as long as, like other food & drink, you send it up dehydrated.

...in Italy! Hopefully the PC's there will now will come with a Linux installation disc (which shall be known as the Italo Linux Disco).

WHO held a meeting?
