Slashdot's Disagree Mail 489
Our first entry starts off by explaining:
"Every time I try to login it tells me that my password is bad! I know I'm using the right password why won't you let me in? My account is *******"
I'm sorry but I don't see an account with the name *******. I also don't find an account with the email address you're using associated with it. Do you happen to know what your uid is?
"Try lookin harder cause I was using AOL a few days ago just fine but now I can't! I'm mailing you from the library right now cause you won't let me on the internet!"
AOL? Can you not log into Slashdot or is the problem that you can't get online at home?
"Whats Slashdot why am I given you guys money for internet if I cant use it?!"
Slashdot is the website you are writing to. If you were banned here for some reason I might be able to help you but I'm not in charge of the whole internet, at least not yet. It sounds like you need to get a hold of AOL tech support and hopefully they can solve your problem.
"If you can't help me why are you on google when I type in help with the internet? If you don't want to help people when they need it maybe you shouldn't be on google!"
Our last email this week demonstrates something, but I'm not exactly sure what it is:

subject stop sending me mail
"If your so fucking smart that you created the great and awesome slashdot why can't you figure out that I don't want your stupid bulshit mail! Everyone here acts like they are so much smarter than everyone else and that a teenager can't know what is right because he isn't fat enough from sitting around eating twinkys and playing games on the computer. You never even had a girlfriend I bet because you're to busy being smarter than everyone else. Fuck you stop sending mail just because you can't handle me!
P.S. Sorry I didn't write that my little brother did but I really don't want to get mail from you anymore can you help me please?"

Whew, gotta do something about that cough. You know it's getting bad when you cough up Stylish sheets.
I should probably write another one to fix the lack of proper line spacing in the preview when using <p>s...

When replaying click options, under Comment Box Size, set Rows and Columns to what you want, click save, and the next time you make a comment, it is a better size!
Though why it doesn't resize the box currently open, I have no idea. Seems dumb to me.

Or just use Safari and resize on the fly :p
(I hate Safari but had to throw it out there)

wtf?? Since when? That's decimal 2 in binary... not hex. 10 in hex would be the same as 16 in decimal. Maybe you need a little help [mathsisfun.com]. Remember, math is FUN.

Green on black? We submitted Hollerith cards, and got back output from a golfball printer that was so misaligned that you couldn't easily read along a line even with the green lines preprinted on the paper to help you!

Come on, you're not seriously going to make a function to not do something?
How about:
if ( category == "idle" ) {
post_in_front_page = false;
}
Or how about going to Help & Preferences [slashdot.org] > Sections [slashdot.org] > Idle > Never?
