Sad day ... Stephen King dead at 55

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

Spelling

I've noticed (along with many others) that the spelling and grammar in Slashdot articles has been very bad lately. This is not something that can be solved by a simple spell checker: "Now" is just as much a word as "No."
However, spell checkers are not even used! Look at the previous article where the word "Saftey" is used--this is not a real word, and no spell checker would let this slip by.
How long would it take to edit an article before posting it? Check for spelling errors as well as misplaced, missing, or mistaken commas (the past several articles include several examples of comma abuse.)
Why bother fixing Slashdot grammar and spelling? Several reasons: Slashdot would become easier to read, would become less open to misinterpretations due to poor grammar, and would gain credibility.
As I conclude this posting, I have noticed that the last bulleted item under the "Important Stuff" section on the comment submission page spells "logging in" incorrectly.
To solve this problem, I suggest we put our very own Jon Katz to work editing posts to correct for spelling and grammar errors.
Go ahead, mod me down as offtopic. However, the problem still remains.

Lost work completion on RC5

I started RC5-64 just shortly after it was actually completed back in July... I was ranked on the daily board in the top 120 so I was making heavy ground on a few of my friends.
Then one day it just stops updating... "what the fizuck?"... then I find out that the solution had been found. I was about a week away from passing a competetive friend of mine... DOH! Then I find out that all the work my computers had done was obliterated because it didn't really mean anything anyway. Just marvelous.
