    Can't you at least wait until the original article scrolls off the main page before you post the same article again...

    How hard is it to CHECK THE MAIN PAGE BEFORE YOU POST?!

      You know, other people have already made numerous comments to this effect. How hard is it for YOU to check the comments before YOU post?

      Yeah, no hypocrisy here...

    yeah no shit, it's still even on the home page / same page as this.

    go ahead mod me, but sometimes this is rediculous. Read the home page before you post something, at... least...

    A quick trip to google news will show you 307 other sources of this story, which don't require registration. It seems to me like slashdot should never have to link to NYT from the main page.

    I can understand if my suggestion is not taken seriously. I only hope it doesn't lead to 307 more dupes.

    Tell me, did you ever work out what that grey stuff between your ears was for?

    FUSION IS NOT FISSION. A FUSION REACTOR CANNOT GO BOOM EVEN IN THEORY.

    fusing dupes would be nice too. Try paying attention to your own spelling.

    To be fair, "dupe" isn't a real word either. "Dup," if you think about it, is sort of a more logical truncation of duplicate.
