Drupal.org now has to run scripts on your computer to render the page with styles. What idiots.

I guess it wouldn't be Civ if it didn't crash ALL THE DAMNED TIME. They appear to be allocating video memory and then never freeing it. What year is it?

heh heh

Now, I don't condone this behavior, but if you're getting ready to test a script, why not aim it at www.santaclarafurniture.com? I'm tired of them spamming CL :)

getlibs didn't fix
nothing in the faq, nothing easy to find in the bug db
hate hate hate stupid installers that add nothing.

I am in as much awe of Jobs' influence as the next guy, but we're talking about a company that under his watch set itself up as the guardian of morality. And we have people writing whole articles about how the 1984 commercial was the truth, man. It's clear that The Onion has it right. Jobs was a technological visionary, but he was also a holier-than-thou asshole. I am not glad he's dead. I'm not even sure I'm glad he won't be helming Apple. I am sure that he doesn't deserve worship any more than any of the rest of us flawed carbon units.

Cops are evil. Oh sure, not all of them, just the ones that post in fora. Note that this is the google cache, because after this page received a lot of publicity, they deleted the thread.

I posted the Boston Review story Why I Was Maced at the Wall Street Protests by Jeanne Mansfield to my Facebook wall, and it faithfully appeared ("via Links") on my wall. When my friends saw the update, however, they did not get the link. So I posted it again, and the same thing happened. And I posted the URL in a comment, and the comment disappeared. So then I posted the URL with spaces in it in another comment, and the comment did not disappear. Facebook is deliberately filtering comments containing the URL for the story. This is hardly conclusive evidence, of course. They could just be massively incompetent. Sorry, not buying it any more, not since they started releasing their code.

I am never going to allow you to run scripts on my computer from your various domains. If you weren't incompetent you would come up with a way to show me the ads anyway. They're called text ads. I don't need your content. I hope you die in a fire. I would never even notice you and your sophomoric stories if my friends didn't keep posting them to failbook. Please explode. Thank you.

You are incompetent douchebags. If your registration form didn't repeatedly submit itself to an invalid URL I might consider trying your game. Idiots.

Why have we been getting all these 503 errors for days? Pretty tired of reloading each page four or five times.

Still think it's hilarious that only slashdot editors may tag stories "slashdot". THOU SHALT NOT DISCUSS SLASHDOT ON SLASHDOT. srsly?

Really, Microsoft? You can't remove Windows Live Essentials from Vista for me before updating it? For that matter, you can't manage an upgrade-in-place? Seriously?

the only pgp keyserver I can actually get a key from (http only) is keyserver.linux.it. is my ISP boning me? I tried connection logging (tomato) and there's no indication that I'm doing anything wrong.

Why do I have to right-click a tab to bookmark all tabs? Why is it not in the menu? And more to the point, why am I in the position where I have to find an excuse for this for my lady in the first place? UI FAIL

Names changed to protect the relatively innocent... This was in a discussion about a bug filed and ignored, on a thread on a social networking site.

"Ah, that's a shame! I'm sorry you had one bad experience. There are many people that work at apple and it is hard to know how one person may handle a bug versus another. You should still log bugs, even if they seem to go into a black hole. It really does help with the Quality of the product, and I'm 100% positive every bug is at least looked at and some action is taken on (even if it is to just keep it in a "bit bucket" of things to possibly fix). I have bugs assigned to me from NeXt in the late 1990's. Some of which I have recently fixed. My name is X. I work on Y. Log a bug on Z and it will come to my group."

Or, you know, you could just use some operating system with some kind of openness and accountability and file bugs that will be addressed. Every significant bug I have ever filed against any Ubuntu package has had some kind of activity, acknowledgement, and usually a fix (or marked as a duplicate, of course... and eventually, a fix.)

How many antique bugs known since the NeXTStep days are still in OSX, just getting forwarded through multiple revisions while Apple adds new features?
