A DS and like 50 games is a good start. Thats roughly the size of a shoebox. An e-reader with a memory card full of things is another good one. I assume communication with home would be on the agenda as well.
I would assume the others on the ship would make for good conversation as well.
I suspect they'd still exist, but just on consoles, which is sad.

You use a subscriber account to read the articles early, but use a different account to post shill. Just keep mashing F5 on the main page with your text ready in notepad. That way you avoid the karma hit and recognition as a shill poster. Just make a new one when it outlives its usefulness.
I'm not sure how it can be fixed off the top of my head. Maybe prevent new accounts from getting top post until they've made X other posts?

Hmm... I've never heard that angle before. Intriguing... so that's what the editors do all day.
Well, the visibility of the things you publish is based on who you have in your circles, so it doesn't really matter who adds you. That's kind of the point of the circles. You don't need a separate "fan" page, for instance, in order to publish different things for public/private consumption.
He used a subscriber account to read the story early, type up a rather lengthy response, and then posted it using a brand-new account. You can tell this because his comment was posted in the same minute as the article, yet clearly took more than one minute to post. Astroturfers seem to use this method to post scathing commentary about company X (Google seems to be the most common), while avoiding the permanent karma hit (and recognition as an astroturfer) to their subscriber account.
It could also just be a troll posing as an astroturfer, and using this method to irritate the community. That distinction is largely irrelevant, however.
There are probably a few more, but these were the ones I could find most readily. They were on the ballot in most/all states. It gets easier if you look at smaller elections. There are a few in the house right now, IIRC.
Voicing your support for a third party candidate has the same value as supporting any other candidate. I would actually assert that it has a bit more value, really, as it shows you are disillusioned with the two party system and your choice between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If more people broke free of the fallacious "throwing away your vote" argument, I could see the situation improving. Perhaps not a reformation of the system entirely, but the two parties might just perk up and listen a bit, in fear of independents actually gaining ground.
Voice your dissent. Vote 3rd party. Only good things can result from that. Either we elect a 3rd party candidate, which I suspect would be less susceptible to corruption, or the first party candidates wake up a bit and realize they have to pay attention to the electorate. Either way, the people win.
Also, vote in primaries. The first parties tend to have at least one candidate that isn't atrocious, but they don't seem to win primaries very often. I suspect voter apathy is the cause here as well.
If you want to take laziness out of the equation, sign up for absentee ballots. Much easier than voting in person.
Hmm... unfortunately, despite what your intentions may have been, to most readers it appears to be an advertisement. At least thats what I am gleaning from reading all of the comments here. Perhaps product reviews are simply not a thing for Slashdot, given the impossibility of distinguishing advertisement from a personal review/endorsement.
For me, Slashdot is all about the community. The perceived commercialization of this website is a very touchy issue for that community, especially so given taco's departure. I would like to ask that you guys please tread carefully, as I don't want to lose the website I have read for many years. Too many to count right now without growing despondent. If I just wanted another news aggregator, there are many to choose from. But Slashdot is special.

So pretty much anything running Android at this point.

I don't recall the internet ever being controlled by its users.
I was skeptical, and looked up some data. It seems this is indeed correct.

It has been quite possible for a third party candidate to win. Here are some examples.

This seems pretty "pure mathematics" to me. I suppose the phosphors of a monitor count as a physical material, but I think that's stretching it a bit.
I'm curious, what problems do you think evolution brings up?
Food-safe plastics do exist. I cannot say whether this particular plastic used was food-safe or not, but its at least possible.
