Site Review: 2002 Olympics
Andy King writes: "If Olympic Web sites were an event, Salt Lake wouldn't even
take the bronze. Our review reveals some gnarly accessibility
moguls." There's another review of the site which mentions the many accessibility problems that the Sydney Olympics had with its website. The site doesn't appear to work at all with konqueror.
hehe, lame

The editors are the ones in full control. They control the vertical and the horizontal. Any opinion which deviates from their accepted opinions will not be tolerated and will be shut down, no matter how many moderators and readers disagree.
just what I was thinking... well well.. watch that karma burn now.. ;-) ..

Yeah it's their fault that they can't see when born of get sick.
"If their seeing eye dog or red tipped cane can't get them around a website, why the hell is it our problem."
A little thing called being nice and a little set of laws called the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
"You know, there used to be a time when defective children where drowned right off the bat and tossed in a hole in the ground."
That was most likely a widespread thing in what? The 13th century.

You sound like the commendant of Belzec really quite sad.

No. The "games" are now just a low rent adjuct to the corporate sponsored corruption of professional sport, which is an ever running sewer. As uplifting as an enema.

Their site is inacessable? Good! May they and their site both rot in obscurity.

No doubt, you have seen the numerous posts that end up at -1 which talk about the moderation system of the Slashdot editors. These aren't just troll posts--people are genuinely trying to get you to pay attention to the fact that in that Oracle story, which is now off the front page and a few days old, a thread is STILL being bitchslapped, despite the best efforts of the community moderators to mark it up.
The Slashdot editors feel they know more than the community moderators. You may notice that the thread jumps up to +5, only to be brought down to -1 again in a matter of minutes. Basically, the Slashdot community feels it to be a relevant and interesting post, and the editors seem quite determined to counter any moderations the thread receives. They don't agree with what the community wants, apparently.
None of the Slashdot editors appears to have commented on this yet. It goes to show that the whole facade of a "community-based" site is quite different from reality.
The place to discuss this without fear of being marked down is at Kuro5hin. Go there.
OF COURSE this will be marked down as -1 Offtopic. But I feel it's worth it.
*We* can certainly tell from that, that *you* are not lame!
No, sir, not you...
But wait!
Shouldn't that be:
Or was that bit of 'l33tn3ss already taken by some other creative young soul?

1. it is expensive, I can spend more money on something else like more computer or music equipment.
2.Alcholism runs rampant in my family history. So why start down a bad path? Is there something worg with realizing that I would be better of if I didn't have a beer?
3. Dancing? You obviously have you facts wrong. There is nothing wrong with dancing.
As for the last comment, I suppose you are trying to imply that incest is somehow allowed and practiced? I am truely amazed by your ignorance.
