a 100-meter behemoth that is expected to run $1 billion."

...which you can't afford, Dessi. It must suck to live in your parents basement.
too bad, no mod points for you.
You've been asked to stop, we modbomb you down, and you come back for more. Bitch, IT'S ON.
The parent poster is the newest account created by the infamous Sir Haxalot/Pingular/Steve 'Rim' Jobs/Aens. How do I know? He posts in the EXACT SAME STYLE as these other accounts. He PLAGARIZES popular posts from previous discussions and claims them as his own in a pathetic attempt to gain karma bonuses. Well, Mr. SlashdotCEO, you ain't foolin' me. A quick Google search reveals that this IDENTICAL POST was posted previously in a discussion from October. Your posts are copied and unoriginal, no one likes you, you are continually modbombed into oblivion, yet to seem to come back for more. GO AWAY. WE HATE YOU. PLEASE DIE.
Moderators, do your thing. The parent post is PLAGARIZED, COPIED from a similiar discussion. Mod this shitbrick as Overrated or, if you feel gutsy against the M2, mark it as Troll. Please remeber, he is SlashdotCEO, an unorignal lamer. Mod all future posts down and see if we can't convine this prepubescent troll to grow up.
What courses did you teach? We may have seen each other, I graduated in 1994
Ah, I would have just missed you; I was teaching first year in 1994 (telescope training on the Meades, and the classroom-based stuff). Out of interest, are you still in astronomy?
Tubal-Cain smokes the white owl.
Why are you trolls attacking insightful posts? Do you not have a life?
You are not "insightful". You merely repost others' comments and claim them as your own in a pathetic attempt to gain extra karma. Read my post again for the proof of your plagarizim, you scumbag loser.
SlashdotCEO has never even been to the UK, I guarantee it. Just a reposting troll, move along...
Goatse? Check if you have a virus, wasn't Goatse for me...
no fucking text here, sorry.
Do not mod the parent post up! He is a troll known for posting duplicate [slashdot.org] comments [slashdot.org] in a effort to achieve greater karma. He brings nothing to this discussion. Other accounts used by this same troll are Sir Haxalot [slashdot.org], Pingular [slashdot.org], Steve 'Rim' Jobs [slashdot.org], and Aens [slashdot.org].
Please moderate him as Overrated to avoid any penalities incurred by clueless meta-moderations. This post has been brought to you by a concerned Slashdot reader who wants to keep the quality of the posts on here at their highest, including the creative trolls. Reposting comments, however, has got to go.
Nope. It's goatse.
Quite a cunning tactic really - have a bunch of people claiming that it is a legitimate link, making those who say it's something vile appear to be the trolls.
There's a ton of redirects when you follow the goatse link, and I'm also wondering it it's doing something clever with referer headers. If, say, the URL a moderator is reading from is in any way different from a normal Slashdot reader's URL, then a script could pick up on this and redirect them to a 'nice' page, while directing everyone else to a distended anus.
I really hope I haven't given someone an idea.
Could you guys get a room?
yer an idiot theres no way to tell if someone is a moderator by their url or ip its just normal /. uzerzzz...
heh...it makes me giggle to think about how many poor saps are going to click on that and see that horribleness. how many people do you spose were written up for having pr0n on their computer at work?
