Computer Or Docking Station?

It looks like a normal Desktop PC, though the EasiDock plugs into a laptop's PCMCIA card slot, using it as a highbandwidth bus (1,250Mbps). The EasiDock comes with: 5 drive bays, 3 PCI slots, 2 IDE controllers, a 2-port USB hub; get the PDF datasheet. Unfortunatly, it currently only supports Windows 98/98SE and Windows NT 4.0, though they boast, 'Coming soon... Win 2000 & Millennium, Apple, Linux.'"

    It's stories like this that make me think we should have a moderation system for submissions in the queue. This is little more than an ad for a not-that-interesting product. Who cares?

    I haven't read the other replies to your message, so this may be (redundent -1).

    Are you really that upset by seeing a less than stellar story posted on slashdot? "Who cares?" is exactly right. If you don't like the story, so what? I am sorry that you didn't have the self control to stop reading it and move on to something more interesting. Worse, you waste even more time with an less interesting, yet irritating, post.

    I have a few moderator points left, but I chose not to use them here so I could ask you a few things:
    • Why does it bother you to occasionally see boring stories on slashdot?
    • Why do you insult the submitter of the story you don't like? Do you think their intent was malicious? Was it their goal to cause you boredom?
    • Why didn't you ignore the story? I do it all the time... works for me, that self control thing.

    I guess that is it.
