    The new functionality was presented in a talk at OSCON 2009. Be warned, [Jesse] has a very high geeky-hacker level. Make sure you have a tech dictionary and Google at the ready when you watch the video embedded after the break. His talk starts at about two minute in and runs for five minutes total.

    is there a new rating system i don't know about? what are the other options besides "very high geek-hacker level"?

      Here is the scale:

      1) Stoned geek-hacker
      2) very high geek-hacker
      3) high geek-hacker
      4) one-puff geek-hacker
      5) sober geek-hacker

    I was wondering about their patent on "One Click Kidnapping".

    Exhibit A that your Slashdot UID is inversely proportional to your ability to do cool shit.
