I haven't posted a journal here in almost three years, because I couldn't find the button to start a new entry.
So... hi, Slashdot. I used to be really active here, but now I mostly lurk and read. I've missed you.
Here's your chance to do something for the web. When a story is posted that requires javascript, JUST SAY NO.
Requires Javascript;Didn't Read. FTW.
Fight back against douchewaffles like Gawker Media who don't understand the web.
I am getting tired of your popups, and the fact that your facebook app does not support https makes me laugh at your notion of security. I dub thee douchewaffle. Time to look for another free antivirus. Will not recommend Avira for corporate use evar.
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?
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
$ sudo
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.
I'm digging G+ more and more. Feel free to add me to your whatever circles. I have a "/.ers" circle.
But for anyone who might have missed it, You can connect with me on Google + by putting together my user name here and my user id number (6314), and turning that into a Gmail address. Shadow Wrought's departure reminded me that people are indeed fleeing from here faster than Mensa members from a Pauly Shore Film Festival, so hit me up if you like.
I also have a metric ton of invites for it, so if you're actually still not part of THE NEW SOCIAL NETWORKING SENSATION (/me spits a little bile up), and would like to be, I can help.
You are incompetent douchebags. If your registration form didn't repeatedly submit itself to an invalid URL I might consider trying your game. Idiots.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
