It's the backbone, caching, homepages, excite, email, and tech support. Totally commodity stuff that cablecos can easily do themselves now. Back in the day, cablecos were so non-savvy that they gladly signed exclusive agreements with @home so they wouldn't have to do this, but the world has changed in the last several years. I predict that even if @Home dies, service will continue as normal.
This was a naked bailout of Excite and its investors (Kleiner Perkins) by the stronger @Home. Never should have happened. KPCB made out like bandits while everyone else got toasted.
Sure,/. looks geeky. That's the point! I find it pretty easy to work with, and I love the fact that it isn't cluttered with fonts, animation (except for one exception), and so on.
I say don't make any major changes to the appearance. Small improvements are always welcome, of course.
Plastic does have this - you can access with karma > 100, I think (there's no cap). However, it leads to some groupthink as (in that case) libby-lib articles that bash GW Bush tend to make it out of the queue alive.
On geekizoid you can see any submissions in progress, even as an AC.
But both of these are relatively small sites. On/. I am doubtful that it would work - too much crap in the queue for anyone to want to wade through it.
Many useful articles are modded "Funny" as well as insightful/interesting/flamebait. I don't think there's any way to do this without missing a large number of good comments.
Slashdot Mirror
so why doesn't she tell her member companies to STFU and simply advertise them?
FLAA. (Four Letter Asshole Associations)
Well, to paraphrase Jack Valenti: I sleep a little less well knowing that the MPAA is doing shit like this.
``The complaint is hopelessly redundant, argumentative and has much irrelevancy and inflammatory material.''
Andrew Bunner first became aware of DeCSS on October 26, 1999 through a
discussion on the news website slashdot.org.
So someone learned something from this site!

Those were always amusing, not just for the trolls but for real content too.

...NOT. this guy should have been fired for talking up all of these companies.
we don't want that kind of negative publicity though. maybe street protests just aren't that effective compared to other methods?!
Well, we could start by not smashing store windows. Then people might take us seriously. It's a thought...
This is a particularly annoying bug. Fix it!

This is really, really nice. Thanks!
So now you have the First Non-First First Post. Congrats. My head spins...
are gone. What happened?
Why, is that a beowulf cluster?
fp?
Yeah, and I'm sure he downloaded them just to see if they used steganography...
See if it responds better than Banjo...
Post a goatse.cx link, you'll see what happens. Also try doing something requiring a Slow Down Cowboy! - e.g. post twice in 1 minute.
No, but you can search SF Gate (the SF Chronicle) for articles on this. Slashdot also talked about it a bit, I think in Quickies.
