Apache Server Nears 2.0
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Apache httpd project has released a new beta of their apache 2.0 server (v32)". For those who have not been following the 2.0 development, this is the third beta that has been produced. The new version of Apache sports the new APR API and a new method for filtered I/O, and has been rewritten to make use of a hybrid thread/process model. With Covalent already selling a commercial version of 2.0, hopefully we will see a full release of the open source version in the near future.
By the way, I normally don't take time out to actually post. But since my moderation and meta moderation privs were removed since i moderated a post I found intresting.. to be intresting. (The great slashdot troll investigation). About 500 people lost their moderation ability at that time. What a nice brave new world.
huh? link?
I must be living in a hole... Since when does moderating an unpopular post get your moderation rights/privs revoked? Which begs the question, is moderation a right or a privelage?
Here's the link.
Typical slashbot, busy opening my cakehole without bothering to think. Heh.
What is it about a post like this (self pitying, resigned to being ignored) that forces people to mod it up? Is it a general agreement with his views, that this place is a joke? That can't be true (why are you all still here??). Is it the fact that you pity him for pitying himself? It seems to me that this guy is very pathetic, and points out the problems of the system at the same time as he takes advantage of its unique advantages (of course he takes these advantages for granted).
Perhaps it is because he fits in with the rest of you: he manages to spout mostly useless information about something he considers himself to be an expert, and surrounds his ideas in a thick wall of misspelled words and grammatical errors (yup, he must be a great coder, to be able to give such extensive criticisms of the experienced people at Apache!). Someone should perhaps tell him that an ellipsis has three periods, and a dictionary is just a few clicks away.
Perhaps he is against the system by default, and that's why he came here in the first place, but when it turned out that this place is just another system, he figured nothing good could come of it, and that power is being abused to suppress his (obviously flawless) ideas.
But the most likely situation, and I have noticed this in many other discussions, is that the statements "I don't care about karma," or "Everyone will mod me down for this" automatically guarantee that the comment will be rated at least a 4. What if it actually deserves to be modded down?
What if he just took a one time opportunity to vent his bitterness at the system that is holding him down? Must we all hear him? Mod me down if you will, but I will not be ignored.
Lack of eloquence does not denote lack of intelligence, though they often coincide.
Guess I'll see....
I'm sick of the "I know this is gonna get me modded down buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut" posts that go on and on about the oppressive regime of Slashdot, and then the insipid moderators mod the lame post up to prove that they really do care, and that they really do have open minds (when nothing further from the truth could be said). Like a bunch of sheep being led by wordsmiths, these lie-ridden posts, like the super-parent to this one, become +5 Insightful to appease some twisted sense of guilt and/or ignorance.
I have to ask all the moderators of the super-parent: Do you know jack-shit about what was said in the post? Did you do any research at all about the topic? No, you don't and no, you didn't; so I must ask: Why did you mod the post up?
The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! w00t!
Exactly - Slashdot as we "knew" it is gone. I suppose I can't blame Rob, I'd be going nuts working on the same project for as long as he has. It doesn't matter if you post AC or not, they do log your IP. My previous post already has 5 mods done to it, I don't really care anymore.. I'm at my karma cap, let them kill it and nuke me. I don't care. I've been reading slashdot since before there were user accounts, and I've made mostly helpful contributions to the signal. I post when something I want to talk about comes up.
:)
The issue is moot at this point, but it's interested to see the feelings that still persist.
I've found FortKnox has a great journal - and he's setup his own site but I can't remember the URL and I'm too lazy/tired to look it up. Oops.. there goes more kkarma
