Wait, people...

Wait a second, folks... this isn't a duplicate story! Don't you see? The first one was posted under the Science category, and this article is about Hardware.

All joking aside, wouldn't it be nice if SlashDot's main page worked just like the moderation system? Every submitted story would start with a value of 1 and each moderator could push a story up or down one point. Of course, it all comes together when each user sets their own threshhold for front page stories...

I'm guessing this feature has already been suggested for SlashCode implementation. Maybe I should go check...

Slashdot Dupe History

[Hack Jandy]

Hmm... 3 times have been done before, but never on the FP I think.

http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=151936&c id=12747639
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=144601&cid=121 15432
http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=150292&c id=12603539

Of course there was the April Fools Trupe of yore:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=59193&threshol d=1&commentsort=0&tid=95&tid=172&mode=thread&cid=5 638044

And then there are the many dupes by the same "Editor" (Usually Zonk):
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=144599&cid=121 13809

Ah yes, and then there was the dupe that occured less than an hour after the original. There has been some debate as to whether that was even a dupe or just a Slashvertisement, but for our purposes today we will just call it a dupe:

All of this has been documented for your protection here:
