My own view on this would be that a browser should help me in trying to reach/dispense 'information' with the least steps possible.
Be it that you're searching for a particular subject/video/songname/tutorial/etc, or that you're communicating through a blog/email/IM/forums: And I think this extension definitely helps with that.
I think it would be better if they made it even more integrated within Firefox (of course withholding any serious security problems), by either having a seperate tab next to the top-right search bar, or even better: Integrated within that searchbar (same way as you can use Google's own parameters to search, eg. define: wiki: etc).
So I think this extension is a step in the right direction, though it definitely needs some more refining.
Before this, I'd never heard of Gleemax, and apparently, so hasn't Slashdot:
I find it quite weird that there doesn't seem to be a post about Gleemax in Slashdot's history: I wonder how many other sites they missed out on.
Is it me, or did the answer to my question get lost in marketing speak?
Sorry, I need more than relying on the "sophisticated computer algorithms" you guys get from your "state-of-the-art news review tools" to get an assurance that the site is not being/going to be astroturfed.
Even "insuring" the reliability of feeds by selfappointed staff/trusted members, doesn't make me believe that this site will be (or already is) leaning one side or the other.
So are we blaming it on piracy this time, or are we're going to be honest and say that Hellgate: London sucked balls?
The game had quite a good atmosphere and the quantity and quality of monsters and loot were very high. But with its repetitive combat and generic levels, this game was bound to be a bad selling one.
Maybe piracy did help a bit there, because people could see that it wasn't even worth it to buy a real copy, as to use it for the multiplayer part (which was shit too).
I am amazed at the quality of this animation: Still, I could see there was -something- wrong with her, but could not put my finger on it. (this was of course also influenced since I -knew- she was fake before watching the vid).
Btw, here's a direct link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLiX5d3rC6o
Be sure to tick the 'Watch in high quality' when the video opens (anyone knows a way to do that automatically in a link?)
That much information in the hands of one party is asking for trouble, either because they'll have a breach sooner or later (hopefully later) or because they find new 'creative' uses for all that data about you.
Why later? I rather have them breached as soon as possible, before they indeed aggregrate all that other information besides my email-convos: That way people would be more aware of the problem that might arise when one company has all that info on a person.
So where are all the rants about this breach of privacy?
I find it funny to see how this site's community is always uptight about (online) privacy, yet doesn't seem to give a sh*t when it's done for their own amusement.
Even if the emails are quite funny, and might have been sent to the wrong adress, it does not justify to publish these imho.
At least this song gives a nice explanation of the subject at hand.
Most nerdcore just goes like "Oooh, let's include the word 'router', and base my song off it!", but doesn't educate in any way. Therefor I think this song is what nerdcore should be about...
Imagine, if you will, a guy having his car towed due to a paperwork error, then the towing company charging him for the inconvenience. If he snapped, walked in and went all "Falling Down" on the place, who would be the victim in the situation?
Erm, the people who work there? Or do two wrongs make a right for you?
And I just rationalized the PS3 purchase by telling myself that the next FF will require it.
They have clearly stated in previous releases that they won't keep the game exclusive to the PS3 (albeit that statement was done at the launch of the PS3, when they weren't being sold as good as was hoped).
Slashdot Mirror
Why feed the trolls?
Reactions such as yours only make them enjoy their asshattery more.
"What are we really trying to do here?"

I can't be arsed to look for it, but Firefox has an extension that can permanently delete botched sites from your search results.
The code is a lie!
Ok, sorry...

Any chance you know what the fmt stands for? (as for me to remember it more easily

What's there to assure me that these newssites rankings aren't being astroturfed?
So besides the swimwear, we're also manipulating the playing ground now?
We might as well freeze the swimming pool, give the swimmers some iceskates and let them set an even higher record!

I had this overly insightful comment... but it all got lost when I submitted it.
And now look what I'm left with!
Amateurish?

I am in full development for the "I am even richer than those Apple noobs"-application, which can be bought for just $1000.
And another one bites the zodiacal dust.
I've got this photograph in my wallet... and it's gauging my money on a daily basis :/
How much 'articles' does it take to, coincidentally, advertise the new Batman movie?
Put all those NIC's on the terror watchlist!
Wtf is the difference?
They get money upfront (where the amount is based on previous viewership), whereas now they would only get a small share of ad-revenue.

I guess they'll never know the agony of having a program ruined by fragility of magnetic tape.
They never encountered a scratched (software) CD?
