But, because its a business, they work hard to investigate each story to ensure that it is valid before airing.
That makes the stories reliable. I've been watching news quite a while and can filter out the crap (I'm not quite good at it with Katz articles, but that's another story). So I still stand by my "TV is more reliable".
Yes, there are plenty of inspirational stories of independent websites helping to feed the public's quest for more information
Actually, I started listening to AM radio (700 WLW if you are interested), and watched my local news after Sept 11th, and I found just as many inspirational stories and just as much "additional information" than I found on the net. And the stories I heard about and watched were more reliable, because I know those shows investigate the story's validness (is that a word?) before airing it.
Where as, I have to have snopes open with all the stories on the net.
... because most people were stuck at their desks and had no radio nearby (or was disruptive to other employees). Once we got a a TV in a conference room, people dropped the net for TV. You see, the net can be hacked, and articles found on the net (unless they are from reliable news sources, a la cnn, ap, reuters) aren't very trusted. TV is still the most reliable and trusted media.
Question: since this is a news site, just like LWN, how much profit does/. make?
Enough to survive the Economy? Do the advertisements really pay for the bandwidth (I can imagine the/.'s bandwidth is gonna cost tons!).
How long until/. needs to make adjustments to keep afloat of the falling economy? Are the editors reading the comments on how to survive and taking notes, just in case?
This isn't a troll, just compairing LWN to/.

True, but to release on Linux a few days or a week before the windows version would boost the Linux userbase. Especially for highly anticipated games (ie - Starcraft 2)

IBM controlled the pipe test found here. Lay off the crack moderators. Reread the article, read my link, find the association, then take another hit from the pipe. Sheesh!
Its called "Walking". There is no possible way you can take down buildings with this new form of travel.
It bugs me that people think up of "anti-terrorist" this-or-that. First think of what it'll cost to change the world over to your "new idea", then think how realistic it is.
BTW - what's up with the new "technology" picture. New motherboard?
Check out 'egg trolls' signature. There are still ways of getting around the system.
A simple * at the end of a URL followed by another url will bypass the system, along with google caches.
I don't see why/. keeps trying to establish rules to kill troll links. The trolls come up with better ideas that bypass the system that are harder for people to detect without falling for it.
I didn't have a problem with just looking at the link before clicking it.
Hope this will include the "Neverending popup", where you point to a site that popups a copy of itself, which popups a copy of itself, which popups a copy of itself...
I think the troll link "comp-u-geek.com" (DON'T GO THERE!) does that...
I dunno about you, but I don't sleep with my watch on, nor do I wear one in the shower. Does it store energy very well? What about outside tempature fluctuation? How well does it handle in the winter? Does the amount of fat on your arm matter?
And another format that I can't play back. Hope this one dies fast.
Time and time again, you have said that you have a window's partition, Taco (playing Black&White, and lots of other times). Admit to having it, say "Its an inconvience to play" instead of "I can't play". You won't be condemned here for being honest(besides the trolls, which is unavoidable).

Wonder why that pipe test was just released..... hmmmm.....
Yeah... (I actually posted it). Sorry I didn't use the title of the Y! article as the title of the /. article. It would make it more clear I guess.
What really gets me is I get posted in "science" and this gets front page.
What's the difference?!?!
And Mr. On Crack Moderator. Read both articles before placing this "off-topic". It should be modded up as "Informative"!

Tests written by IBM (who just put more investment in Linux) shows that Linux is best?
Are they a little biased?
I'd prefer a neutral party to do the test and the results placed on a neutral site, personally...

A way that students can be taught to work as a team yet still be able to tell who is pulling their own weight and who is not?
Bad news for you. There isn't a way to tell who's pulling their own weight out in the workforce.
Sometimes the slackers are "lucky" enough to get on several hard working teams and get promoted.
This is how some managers are just morons.

A little honesty here would really go a long way.
What about VA Linux? How many does the company (with sourceforge, thinkgeek, slashdot, etc...) use?
I, actually, heard a rumor that the "higher-ups" don't use Linux. Is this true?
