This is Slashdot. We'll take any excuse we can to get outraged.
I am highly offended by your outrageous comment!
G+ is making FF crash its ass off these days.
If only there was a simple workaround for this, but it's just not coming to me.
There's a difference between boycott and theft.
Well said.
The only way for this kind of abusive marketing to be stopped would be for gamers to boycott the products and vendors, which would be like meth-heads boycotting meth.
No dumber than measuring energy in baseballs.
Eating people alive? Where's that get fun?
Which should have been obvious.
Exactly my point, if one of these UI "innovations" was actually useful it would have had some measure of adoption by now.
The absolute zero adoption of this concept in the 20+ years it's been around proves how pointless it is.
But in theory each time it cycles its less expensive, more advanced, and more available.
And just as useless.
They don't take credit in Antartica, only a specific debt card at the research stations and the military debt card at the military bases.
Did you hear about the Slashdot commenter who didn't get the joke?
If you're sitting there thinking "This is nonsense; my team has no idiot" then it's most likely you.
I've seen this in action, people so clueless that they don't know that they're clueless.
The last serious incident of this type I encountered the poor guy was "demoted" to testing and then the work load ramped up until he had an emotional breakdown.
He initially took on a job he was not qualified for and had lots of crazy opinions that pissed off a lot of people, but his managers failed him by victimizing him instead of helping him with career planning.
Now that I think of it, I think the same managers failed me in the same way...
What I got out of it is that he's not an 'IT Geek.' That's a specialized kind, ya know. Do you have a good understanding of the relative benefits of CMOS and TTL? How about the different types of lapidary grit?
I agree, though, that Slashdot isn't so much 'news for nerds' as it used to be. It's infested with IT types who think they're the whole community.

So if an article has terms you don't understand do you whine about it or look it up? That's the difference.
Slashdot has always leaned towards the highly technical, and because of the specialization of technology it's unlikely that anyone is going to understand ALL the jargon.
A geek will look it up and perhaps even be a little excited to LEARN something, I don't know what to call someone who just whines that they weren't spoon fed.

The only word I understood was "Linux".
TL;DR
All I got out of this comment is "I am not much of a geek". You might be more at home on reddit.
