Slashdot has finally jumped the shark.
Hang on just a gol-durn minute here!
"mao che minh (611166)" points out that this story is a rapid-fire dupe, and gets a +5, Informative. I say the same thing (albeit in a more smartassed way) -- and even go to the trouble of self-deprecating as "obvious" -- and get a -1, Troll?? What am I trolling for, complete apathy?
I was expecting a +2, Funny, or, at worst, 0, Redundant. Are mod points being passed out in Cracker Jacks these days, or what?
(Now watch as the original modders also mod down this complaint against them.)
