How exactly has slashdot [b]made[/b] you read anything? Did Taco or ScuttleMonkey come to your house and pull a gun out and force you read this article?
They may get squashed to -1 by moderation, but they still get posted and if you set the filters right you can find the post. The outlined proposal wouldn't even let the post get made at all.
"I can't help but notice the huge amount of trolls posting comments the past few days. I know you guys work hard to keep them down but it's a losing battle. You should make people post comments in groups to get rid of the trolls. Everyone would have a "comment buddy" that has to agree that your comment is worth posting. You could make it part of the preview process. This way trolls wouldn't be able to post because nobody else would mark their comment as worth posting. Maybe if two trolls got together they would be able to defeat the "buddy" process but that seems unlikely to me as I don't think they work in groups do they? Maybe this isn't as good an idea as I think for working against large groups but it might work for lone trolls."
Or it will do nothing but squash unpopular opinions.
Why is this marked insightful? What exactly insightful in asking why federal investigators became involved in a case that falls under a federal criminal statute?
Yeah because no one probably ever thought of putting protection up for these solar arrays for situations like that. Good thing we had you around so that you could point out this problem that no one else in the rest of the world ever thought of.
Yeah, if only there had been someone building an open source OS that is less expensive than Microsoft Windows. I think I'd call it.... Lin... lin.... Linux!
And yet apparently 10s of millions of people seem to manage playing them just fine on consoles. I think the issue is a personal failing on your own part in light of this. BTW I play FPS on both PCs and consoles and have no issues with either and never understand when people complain about this.

I should be able to install anything I want on to my phone whether it be viruses or malware or anything else (even though no one would want to).
That is, the schedule itself, not any synopsis or description of the individual programs.
Just because you write something in a list and then add a date and time doesn't make it a creative work.
Because writing things down in a list isn't a creative work. This would be as stupid as saying you can copyright a grocery list.
How the fuck did a twitter post make a front page news story? Slow fucking night I guess... This editor is even worse than ScuttleMonkey
Is that what Tom Green said before his surgery?
Just wait until the DoJ lawyers become lackeys of the RIAA/MPAA

Yes, they clearly should have hidden this away from the consumers so that you can have this sprung on you with absolutely no warning.
No, it's not like saying that at all.
Just wait till Debian names the next release
Last time I checked Warty Warthog was an Ubuntu release name.

Port an OS to Linux? What does that mean?
Yeah because those security updates really made it so viruses were impossible to write for XP it was still receiving active support.
Wow I didn't know you could get away with only 5 licenses for 110,000 machines. Is there some loophole I missed in Microsoft's licensing contracts?
Yeah, if only there had been someone building an open source OS that is less expensive than Microsoft Windows. I think I'd call it.... Lin... lin.... Linux!
Sounds like we have our next candidate for the Mojave Experiment!
I should amend my comment and say that that at least applies to any of the online multiplayer modes I've ever played.
but I will note that autoaim is considered a cheat on the PC, and a feature on the console. Go figure.
And I will note that I've not seen any serious console player ever use autoaim if it even exists in the game, which is almost never.
FPS is pretty bad,
And yet apparently 10s of millions of people seem to manage playing them just fine on consoles. I think the issue is a personal failing on your own part in light of this. BTW I play FPS on both PCs and consoles and have no issues with either and never understand when people complain about this.
From the figures I've seen from various sites something around half to 2/3rds are from console subscriptions.
The PS2 version wasn't a port. It was the original released version. The PC version came out 6 months after the PS2 version came out.
Protip: There was a PC version.

Did you even spend the 2 seconds it would have taken to find that out?
