Posted by timothy on from the sad-day-in-nevada dept.

Earlier today, a tragic crash at the Reno National Championship Air Races killed at least 12 spectators, and left at least 75 injured. Reader xmas2003 writes with a link to Java creator James Gosling's first-hand account of the crash, which he describes as "better than most of what is being reported in mainstream media so far."

  1. OT: moderator points?? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Because slashdot itself doesn't have a "bitch about slashdot" forum on its own site... I'm posting this as AC for obvious reasons, but...

    I just got notified of having 5 mod points. I've got a four-digit UID, have had "excellent" karma consistently for the last 5+ years, and this is the first time I've been granted mod points ever since the forever-denied thread-of-death where all who moderated it were mod-banned, which has been something like four years (at least).

    Is this because CmdrTaco is finally gone? Or wtf?
