3D Tour for Windows Kernel Code? ;-) by ChaoticChaos · 2003-03-23 02:02 · Score: 5, Funny

Would a 3D tour of the Windows kernel code take you through the seedy parts of town? ;-)

  Hmm, and I can't help noticing it's from the do-you-see-what-i-see dept.
  
  Yeah. Seen it already, thanks. Do you see what I see? Down the bottom of the page there you'll find a search box . . .
  
  Just when I though Taco was doing better on the dupes as well.

  Maybe they should put a link on the amazing future ones that says "Dupe" and if a story gets more than a couple "Dupe" votes from logged in paid members, it would be automatically delayed until an editor re-approved it?

  While this would work just fine, we really shouldn't have to resort to something like this. I've been around /. for quite a while now (my original ID was 68996; fairly low)...Dupes never used to be a real problem. It's only been in the last 6 - 12 months that they've become an epidemic. I can recall maybe 2 - 3 dupes in the first 3 years of my /. reading experience. What has changed recently that we see so many dupes? Any Editors care to comment?
  
  Then again, maybe I wasn't paying as much attention in the first few years I was around these here parts...maybe dupes have been an epidemic the whole time?
  
  I'm not complaining, this is a distributed system, and nothing's perfect. I'm just curious.

  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.

Ok these dupes are getting STUPID by cyberlotnet · 2003-03-23 02:07 · Score: 5, Interesting

http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/0 3/07/173242&mode=nested&tid=106

This was posted less then a month ago..

The search box at the bottom of the page, "linux mpeg" and bang first page results..

There should be able to rate articles as "dupes" posters of "dupes" get locked out of slashdot for 7 days. This might force people to use the search button prior to posting, At the very least it would keep Hermos and other staff locked out of slashed forever since they are some of the worst offenders.

  Hey, he can always say: Give me a job or I'll just post duplicate links to your site on Slashdot.
  
  Seriously though, building a large, loyal customer base is a serious management achievement. Getting the site name into the Jargon file (Slashdot Effect) is another.
  Building a /legitimate/ large DDOS tool is another achievement (see slashdot effect).

The best thing about duplicate stories on /. are the nearly infinite amount of 'Dupe?'-posts which are posted even before the 'FP?!!!1'-posts.

I feel dirty now for even replying to a duplicate story =(

I have a conspiracy theory that all these dupes are really a plot by the slashdot editors to batter into submission the sites of people they don't like. Hey, why bother amassing a botnet when you've got a "legitimate" one already ;)
