EFF Compiles Endangered Gizmos List

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gone-the-way-of-div dept.

Hungry Student writes "The EFF has published an "Endangered Gizmos" list of technology that is at risk of extinction from the lobbyists of the entertainment industry. Extinct species include DVD X-Copy and Napster 1.0. Among those fighting for survival are Morpheus and HDTV tuner cards. The BBC has commentary on this as well." From the article: "The EFF intends the list to be part of a wider educational and awareness project, and it will be updated regularly as more gadgets and technologies are saved or killed off."

    There is more than one 'editor' and there is no collaboration between them. Also editors work different shifts and this adds to the confusion. A simple solution would be to have the title of every story posted to a text file. Then require each editor to grep the text file for similar posts before posting a story. The problem is due to bad management not bad editors.

    Honestly, how hard would it be to implement a warning to the editors if the URL is in a previoius story?

    That can't be a Slashdot story you link to. It is posted by some guy named 'michael.' Who is that?
