    Is there a way to moderate a story as Troll -1?

    Yes, it's trivial. Just add the line "127.0.0.1 slashdot.org" to your /etc/hosts file, and amazingly only the slashdot troll stories will be selectively filtered out.

    ?

    In other news... thousands of developers are asked to stop contributing to free software, leaving each project with only one person to admin it. With fewer new features, it's believed that they will get it right the first time too.

    A call was made to drop every instance of "Alpha", "Beta" and "RC" from the project names.

    The market predicts a flood of new forks upon this incredible improvement about how people deal with software.

    "I finally can leave my Bahama's house", said Guido Van Russell, now the only Python developer left to make Monty Python jokes on the project's mailing list.

    Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, said: "I have an update to make. 1000 ought to be enough for anybody. I will make it only one and improve your Microsoft experience".

    Also, a quick last note: Reports of monkey suicides have arisen over the last couple hours.

    Oh my.
