Re-Opened Computer History Museum Explored

gosand writes "An article over at OSNews gives a nice overview of the recently re-opened Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. There are some good pictures in the article, and also at the Museum's website. They have a lot of very interesting computers, including an Apple I (signed by Woz), an Enigma machine, and Crays 1, 2, and 3 (yes, there was a 3!) Maybe you have something sitting in your basement that you would like to donate?"

Re:Umm... how did this get modded "interesting?"

I haven't gotten in a good meta-discussion in a while, so here goes...

I've read the .sigs that say "all troll/offtopic mods are M2'd 'unfair'". But my M2 experience is that there are very few negative mods... I'd say I average 2 negative mods per session of 10, rarely 3 or 4, more often 1 or none.

I've only had a few opportunities to M2 mods of troll posts, and all were Fairly modded as Offtopic or Troll.

It would take a lot for me to M2 a positive mod as "unfair", but up-modding the GNAA post would definitely get a big thumbs-down.

Other than the obvious trolls, though, I've only found one time in M1 that I needed to mod a post down. This post was a cut-and-paste duplicate of an earlier post -- the fool even copied the original poster's .sig! The original poster saw what was going on and posted a reply that tipped me off, so the "+5, Informative" post got a -1 Redundant from me.

I got M2'd "unfair". Crap. But I'm vindicated by the post's current score: "0, Redundant".

That's my little story of M2. Now go to sleep.
