Publishers' Attack Free Government Sites

An anonymous reader writes "After succeding in getting the DOE's PubScience shutdown the Software and Information Industry Association and publishers' are now targeting more. If the trend continues local tax dollars will increasingly be spent to buy access to information the federal government used to provide."

    I have never seen the Flamebait or Overrated moderations used appropriately, Redundant is a waste of a moderation, and half the time Troll is used incorrectly. In metamod, I'll typically mod any downmod as unfair unless there was a really good reason for that mod.

    Not only do I doubt that the quote in your sig is accurate or even true, he's not a "junior" because his father's middle name(s) differ.

    Unless, of course, you are quoting yourself as G. W. Bush Junior.

    No, the reason there are so many spelling errors on slashdot is because you have to be bothered to use a spell checker.

    Will you lame-ass troll fuckers at least try to get laid? Your success at spreading lies and bullshit on meaningless websites is no substitute for the waste of your life. Heed the final regret of the Comic Book Guy!

    In general, flamebait is actually supposed to garner flames! And redundant is never, ever used correctly. Troll is generally used in a fit of moderator jealousy.

    I honestly can't understand how people can be so completely ignorant when it comes to spelling simple words and remembering easy punctuation rules. It's been a few years since I graduated from high school; perhaps schools are now teaching kids to just randomly insert apostrophes (sorry, I mean apostrophe's) wherever they seem appropriate.
