I just checked my retrograde archival machine and it looks like this is part of the pre-emptive settlement, however the argument on slashdot will largely revolve around whether or not the follow up article was a dupe - this apparently starts a huge flamewar because everybody a) has a different answer for why the article is a dupe and b) is damn well right, cause they have read this story before in one form or another a thousand times.
The real kicker here is that the slashdotters should have read the article and the article's protagonists would benefit from knowing that the percentage of the Internet using this model is them.
Finally, the eventual appearance of lawsuits like this are not always as misguided as they seem, a legal definition of the difference between traffic and an attack might be helpful for the purchasers.
Slashdot, though is different, because it is filled pedantic fucking comedians who often go without sleep, survive on caffeine, live in a basement or garage where they are plugged into the internet 24 fucking hours a fucking day, so the probability of some dickwad inventing a difference and some fuckwad using it on someone approaches certitude the way Captain Kirk approaches FTL or green babes.
Now, back to the article, which i did not fucking read, in which case I would be a dickwad (a fuckwad having read the article), which is about wikipedia. Fuck wikipedia.
