Toms Hardware Reviews 65 CPU's, Past & Present

An anonymous reader writes "Toms Hardware has an interesting review of 65 processors ranging from 100 MHz to 3066 MHz. They spent more than 300 hours benchmarking and recording the scores. Worth a quick glance, especially for the Unreal Tournament 2003 scores on the 100 MHz pentium!" CT: Yeah yeah. It's a dupe. Funny that not a single reader emailed me in almost 2 hours to tell me.

Re:Worst dup[e... *EVER!*

actually, this is easily the only type of dupe I can understand and accept. If they're close together, it means that two editors were working on the same story almost at the same time, which is understandable, but when they're hours or days appart it can only mean that slashdot editors don't read slashdot...

Stop bitching Malda...

Funny that - perhaps people get the idea that you won't look at their mails, seeing as you can't even be bothered to read your own goddamn website...

I can't believe you actually get paid to do this...

It's even worse. He posted the intervening story too.

I.e - when we first got on, he didn't even read the FIRST FUCKING STORY.

Even if he didn't look at the front page till he blindly approved the gameboy one, he'd still have had to check that posted properly and not read the headline below it, which you'd think would be virtually impossible.

So the only possible conclusion is that not only does he not check the front page himself EVER he doesn't even ever check if a story got submitted right.

Oh please..

Come off it. I don't see where you get off bitching because nobody told you that you posted a dupe of a story two stories down. I mean, had you taken a cursory glance at your own site you probably would have seen this story.

You know, if you didn't want us to pay for this, I wouldn't even care. But I cannot believe that you are bitching at paying customers because of your lack of editing. What gives? As I've said before this site has editorial practices slightly worse than that of your average grade school newspaper. I think it's really insulting that you would expect anyone to pay for this.

Let me up the ante here. You editors are pretty tech-savvy, right? I just used Mozilla's oft-praised tabbed browsing feature to open another tab and look up the post I linked above. Now, when you are approving submissions, how hard would it be to have a second tab open to make sure you aren't posting a dupe. I mean, look, you guys approve at most 20 stories a day. Between the four or five (estimate) active editors, that's.. well.. not a lot. It wouldn't be hard to simply say "when I'm ready to approve a story I'll make sure there aren't any dupes." This kind of work wouldn't take long at all, and combined with a little editing would go a long way towards getting some new subscribers. I, for one, pledge to subscribe when the editorial quality of this site improves. That means, basically, that every other story can't have glaring grammatical or spelling errors, and that dupes are practically nonexistant.

I realize that everybody makes mistakes, myself included, but the number of mistakes from people who are professionals (and you are professionals if you do this for a living -- you do) is just too much to be tolerated -- or at least paid for.
