The topic of "United States" uses a US flag as it's
logo. The flag contains the incorrect number of
stripes. There should be 13 stripes, 7 red, 6 white.
The flag being displayed on the site is currently
missing the uppermost red stripe.
Did you actually go and look at the image? I find it
rather annoying for you to say it "Works for me" for
something that's the same for everyone.

Subj: CmdrTaco - US Flag Desecrator & Anti-Delewaria
As noted on the Smithsonian Institution's site [si.edu],
the first official American flag had thirteen stars and
thirteen stripes, each representing one of the thirteen
original states.
The flag icon for Slashdot's 'United States' section is
missing its first stripe - the stripe that represents
Delaware, the first state admitted to the Union. While a
simple oversight could be forgiven, it should be known from
here on out that Slashdot is in fact aware of the missing
stripe, and even worse, refuses to do anything about it
[sourceforge.net]!
This vulgar flag desecration and rabid anti-Delawarism must
be put to a stop. Let the Slashdot crew know that we will
not accept a knowingly mutilated flag or the insinuation
that Delawarians deserve to be cut out of the union. I ask
you, what has Delaware done to deserve this insolence, this
wanton disregard, this bigotry?

Easy. Delaware has the weakest corporation laws in the
United States so many companys incorporate in Delaware to
avoid disclosing their true corporate shenannigans.
Also, "Delaware" has the same root as "delete", and
means "the state that should be deleted from the US flag"
in the Algonquin language.

actually, just drive around that plaza pisses you off.
think last exit before, first entrance after. use a map to
find the path you use. same path works in both directions.

Hey, it is not a missing Delaware. They are just giving the
twin state of Carolina only one stripe. More and more it is
considered one state: look at the NHL and NFL teams for it.
Title:
Incorrect usage of "it's" in an English sentence
Summary:
In English, the word "it's" (with apostrophe) is strictly
used as an abbreviation for "it is." The correct possessive
form of the word "it" is "its" (no apostrophe). This
mistake is far more heinous and widespread in its impact
than the subject of the bug itself.

Delaware charges $2 to drive a puny 10 mile stretch of I-95.
It deserves every form of abuse that is heaped on it and more.
