So Slashdot wants to turn itself from a place to get into a good argument into something that just gives you abuse. Insightful comment.
We've always been coming here for abuse. (I was trying to fit "Eastasia" into the comment but I have failed... for now...)
that's weird since Apple's stock is trending down over the last year, and coke is trending up
Interestingly it's trending down if you look at the past 12 months, but up if you look at the last 6 or 48 or more.
If you look at a 5 year trend it's constantly up until a huge bubble for the first three quarters of 2012. Anyone remember what that was about?
What she wants them to do is stop having the alerts go through. IE - she doesn't seem to care that this guy can see her profile - she just doesn't want to know about it.
From what you're saying, what she really needs is a filtering rule on her email. Much faster and cheaper to implement.

Just don't lose the whole byte.
What's a couple of nibbles between friends?
You're trolling, but sometimes you just gotta feed the troll.
Windows is like herpes, Linux is more like mitochondria.
Ubuntu got popular because the ordinary people who cannot figure out how a command line works could use it.
Hardly. It got popular because it was debian based and didn't require knowledge of every part of the system to get it up running acceptably - you installed it and most stuff worked without hours of research and hair-pulling.
It's both, it was a nice compromise for neophyte, expert users, experienced linux users and old hacks like me. In 2007 it was a system that people from any of those groups could agree apon.
Both Unity and Gnome Shell are interesting UI experiments, but not ready for the main stream. This has annoyed the neophyte and expert users alike.
is meat. There are four varieties of it: tender lamb, grilled steak, sausage, and ox tail's soup. And no, IANAA ( I Am Not An American ).
What? No roast beef?
It could be worse, Jena and RDF make me froth at the mouth.
Fortunately my youngest is 21 so we're having a blast.
However he's also into his second year of police service training so he's basically a running monologue on which bits will get you how much time.
The point is that SOME performance art is amazing.
That seems to be a matter of opinion.
Personally, I'd much rather stare at inanimate etchings in a gallery than see some douchebag with a stupid haircut, covered in pig's blood and reciting his latest awful, Poe-esque poetry in the city park.
To each his artistic own, I guess.
I would probably agree on the example given.
Again... SOME is good, but good luck finding any.
He's not really trolling - it's brilliant meta performance art!
*dances across Slashdot wearing a tutu and a Firefly t-shirt smeared in peanut butter while humming a 20's era swing tune*
The problem is that 99% of art, (be it literature, poetry, music or sculpture, etc.) is crap.
The vast majority of that crap almost nobody ever sees, in the world of books and music you have to get published to get attention that filters out something like 90% of the complete drek.
Not everybody is a creative genius, this is also true in technical fields, something like 90% of innovation is driven by 10% of the population. This is why our society has people we pay to critique art and tell us what is worth paying attention to. (And sometimes they are horribly, horribly wrong...)
The point is that SOME performance art is amazing.
Not sure if this is insightful or trolling, but what the hell.
This is 2013, torture and violence is as now as American as apple pie, but biology is still taboo.
Our OS who art in CPU, UNIX be thy name. Thy programs run, thy syscalls done, In kernel as it is in user!
