3D Visualization of Linux Kernel Development

We`ve had stuff duped the same day, so a month is getting a bit better ;) Still......

'tis a dupe

Haven't we seen this already a few weeks ago?

Take them as an opportunity for the desesperate ones to get karma points. If a dupe story is posted, the only thing needed to get good karma is to check the old article, post in this one the best (+5 points) ones, and you get instant, mindless karma.

If old articles are not checked for dupes, how will be checked old comments of those old articles? :)

Hey, man, they went 25 hours without a story. They had to do something.

I've suggested before that the slash code could easily take the URLs in a submission and look back through previous submissions and posted stories. It could mark the submission as "possibly a repeat" when it's entered in the queue, so the editor has a clue at first glance.

In fact, when multiple submissions refer to the same link, the queue routines could even find the "best" submission or the "earliest" submission and give those preferential weighting. You could define "best" as having more links, more text, text below the fold, or other metrics. Heck, if editors cared, then slashcode could search for some simple grammar blunders and reduce the weighting appropriately.

Automated metrics and quality-checking flags are just a part of the solution-- a set of standards used by the editors (like, oh, reading it) would still be necessary.

68996 is a low id? ;-)

Yeah, the dupes are increasing. But I don't think it's a big deal. What's also increasing is the number of stories I've come across somewhere else first. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm starting to suspect /. is no longer most people's first port of call when looking for breaking news. It's shifting from being a site that reports breaking stories and under-the-radar stories, to one that just rounds up the pick of the week, so to speak.
