And in case you didn't realize, comments on slashdot are displayed in chronological order, so it fails that criteria.
Faulty logic. Yes, comments are indeed displayed in chronological order. However, as per the definition, entries are displayed in reverse chronological order (newest at the top).
I can tell you really WANT slashdot to be a forum, but the facts are confounding you at every turn. It's a technology news BLOG that allows comments. Slightly altering definitions presented to you don't change that fact. Weblogs are not just about websites, they are about whatever the author WANTS them to be about.
(I won't go into the areas Catfish touched on, to avoid redundancy.)
"A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order. Blogs often provide commentary or news and information on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries."
An Internet forum is a facility on the World Wide Web for holding discussions, or the web application software used to provide the facility. Web-based forums, which date from around 1995, perform a similar function as the dial-up bulletin boards and Internet newsgroups that were numerous in the 1980s and 1990s. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of different topics [1].
Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, discussion forums, discussion groups, bulletin boards (but see also dial-up bulletin boards), fora[2] (the Latin plural) or simply forums.
I won't be so asinine as to ask if you know what a discussion board is... you don't. So, here's a discussion board. And a blog...
Yes. Why are/.ers so ignorant as to mod this insightful? At best, this is either funny or a troll, depending on whether you take offense to this or not.
On topic: The more... outspoken posters here seem to think that all who believe in a religion are anti-science, which is skewing the discussion somewhat. That's akin to saying pro-abortionists are anti-life, which is equally as stupid as this topic.
The fact is, the people who wrote this article are sitting up and paying attention to a small group of idiots who are being a little too obnoxious in their proclamations. It's a minority that is pushing the anti-science claptrap, even though a majority (upwards of 90%) of the US believes in a religion. [On a side note, that's exactly like US-icans reading and wringing their hands about how Europe hates us... it's people listening to a small yet vocal group of total weenies.]
Oh, and for you Euros who want to bash the US for the whole religion thing: There's more to the world than our little nation, get out and bash others more. A majority of the world has a religion. Are they all anti-science, leaving/. as the last bastion of hope and truth? If so, $Diety help you all.
Nah, that's typical kneejerk/. "M$" bashing. Happens ANY time Microsoft is mentioned. Most of them didn't read the article... jsut the summary,a nd started in with "blue screen" "crash" "insecure" "open sores rules" "just use linux!"
These people will eventually die off from inbreeding, and if/when MS ever gets their act together, all will be forgiven.
The sound would effect a small radius of fish, compared to the effects of a sunken vessel's fuel going everywhere. Especially if it were a nulear-powered vessel (like US Subs and Carriers).
The good news is that if the UN can ever escape committees to do this, it'd take 30 resolutions and a unilateral action by the US to actually accomplish such a thing.
I can see it now, like other resolutions: "We condemn you. We urge you to give up control, or we shall become VERY cross with you."
Not that control actually matters to me... I just think the UN is less than useful, and quite corrupt, and should not be in charge of this.

Though remind me why Al Gore isn't President?
Because he didn't win enough popular votes in Florida to secure the electroal votes he needed to achieve a majority.
Anything contrary to that is a loony's conspiracy theory and a political party's inability to comprehend that they lost.
Though to be absolutely fair, he'd have been a 1-termer anyway, so he still wouldn't be president today.
Hey, at $0.95US per message, the PEOPLE could buy the election instead of the special interests!
Well, except the telcos.
Too funny! I wish I had mod points for that one.
Maybe not the UN, but There WERE monitors.
Why, it's because their dollar is worth less! ;)

From Wikipedia:
Aaaaaand...
I won't be so asinine as to ask if you know what a discussion board is... you don't. So, here's a discussion board. And a blog...
So says the guy who has posted 1593 comments on a blog.
**AA needs to just sue the f**k out of the kids. I mean, it's been an effective tactic so far...
Especially those coming from... a left-wing blog.
No, I'm not calling names -- look at the damned URL, and read any 10 articles on the site.
No, everyone would prefer it was in there, even if it was just switched off[...] ...at which point /. starts whining about bloat.
Which reminds me, I've read a LOT of responses and haven't seen that word bloat yet... or bluescreen, for that matter. Hm.
I wouldn't call him a liar. A media whore, yes, but not a liar.
Whopper is the slang for their penis.
Except for those based on religion.
Truth. Boingboing called, they want their content back.
Yeah, and I bet your breasts have something REALLY IMPORTANT to say, too.
...and grandparent is a moron posting his opinion.
Yes. Why are

Of course it would. Are you trolling?

"I work hard because millions on government assistance are sitting in line to get star wars tickets and depending on me."
Most geeks liked the Tanookie suit as "Ta" was the only "nookie" they were getting. :p
Great game, though, and I do agree about the suit.
The downside was that the TV show was even worse than Pac Man's.
