And you want to convince us that, with such a high user ID, you're not just someone who created an account with an Asian-sounding name just to troll on this story?
You know, it's much easier to use accents and tildes than that. You just choose the proper language, and Windows will let you use dead keys: press " ' + e " and you get é, press " ~ + a " and you get ã, and so on. It's very easy IMO, and would only bother people who use accents for reasons other than "writing" -- i.e., programmers.
For everyone. ISPs are just carriers. They're not supposed to be filtering based on content. That's akin to the Attorney General ordering Fedex to block all packages that have $WHATEVER material, which is illegal.
I mean, yeah, it's amusing to catch the editors making a mistake, but by now I find the people snidely pointing this out to be only about 100x as annoying as the occasional duplication. In fact, I think the editors shouldn't change a thing about their process - occasional duplication can even be good... as for instance in this case, where I apparently missed the story the first time, and am glad I got a 2nd chance to learn about this.
Don't you think the editors should respost EVERY STORY POSSIBLY INTERESTING, so you won't miss any because you, oh, I don't know, CAN'T SEARCH THE ARCHIVES?
You could actually do something, like filing a request for support at Sourceforge. Their support guys are extremely responsive. You should've done so as soon as you had noticed the problem instead of blaming "sourceforge" as a whole for some technical glitch that was correctable.
We are. Why shouldn't I call myself an American, being born in South America? If the US wants to think of themselves as THE America, that's fine. It's just not the truth.

Actually, if you did a little research, you'd find out that the INS is much more strict about immigration than other countries. At least in mine (Brazil) there are no heavily armed guards at the border.
Mozilla is free software, so you can fix any bugs that are discovered yourself, or you can wait for the army of coders that comprises the Mozilla team to provide a (hopefully quick) fix.
The only logical conclusion here is that I'm a perfectionist crackpot doom-sayer idiot and that you should stop reading this and catch up on some minesweeper.
So here are the minesweeper clones: xbomb, KMines, and more (all on Freshmeat.net).
I guess I'm not the only one who will be following his suggestion.
Gosh, I didn't know Linux worked on the kernel and was a specialist in SCMs.
He may be a good developer, but he spent years developing Linux -- his sole project -- without using ANY KIND of revision control system/SCM. And you tell us he's an authority on this subject?
If Ogg really catches on, future hardware might not support MP3, and those folks with large MP3 collections will be in the same boat as people with large 8-track collections.
You mean everyone living in 2002, right? Just FYI, I'll always have my xmms, LAME et all source code tarballs with me. Ogg is a great idea, but I'm sticking to what I already have burned on lots of recordable CDs.
You must be stupid. I was giving an example. If we were to have no DNS, we'd need one different IP for every website. Let me break it down for you: even if the guy had 699 different IPs, he wouldn't be able to host 700 different websites, whereas I, with a single IP, (700 - 699 = 1) could host all of his 700 websites today because with DNS, I can separate them into virtual hosts.
Oh yeah, now tell me, how are you going to host 700 websites on a machine with 699 IP addresses? Oh, you need one more? What a shame, I'm already using the one you're missing to host all of my 700 sites! It's called virtual hosts.

Sorry, but you lose, sucker.

This would be funnier if it wasn't a known hoax.

Dear sir,
It's hard to understand how I would include music that I still don't know in my playlists. Please ellaborate on that.
Yours truly,

Riiight.
Not just "Presidential Elections". In a few hours, we'll be voting for President, Senators, Governor, Federal Rep and State Rep.
I'm sure he's trolling/trying to be funny, and you've bitten.
Then you mean the kernel.
Essential to whom?
1 hour and 14 minutes, in your own line of thought.
Look, I just made a TCP/IP Long Distance Connection to Istanbul! It cost me shit!
Oh, so iD won't be releasing it for Linux? Interesting...

No. PNG is to GIF what OGG is to MP3.
