  1. No, the moderators ARE Idiots! on Nanotube Applications Grow And Grow · · Score: 1
    Ok, I have to to REAL umbrage at whoever moderated this post as FLAMEBAIT .

    Given the facts that :

    1. The empirical fact that slashdot moderators ARE (mostly) idiots
    2. Your moderation goes away if you post in the thread (so the person who thought the post was "FLAMEBAIT" cannot possibly reply with a flame AND moderate the post. And if you moderated instead of replying, it wasn't much of a FLAMEBAIT, now was it?!!).
    Why not read the FAQ before squandering your mod points by finding no-good-shits to dump on? Then, instead of trying to push an infinite number of turds below the surface, <blink> go find some good posts to mod up </blink>.

    In fact, I will go as far as to say that any moderator that does use their finite mod points to mod down bad posts instead of modding up good posts is de facto an idiot. That's not flamebait, that's an honest opinion. Deal with it.

    This carbon nanotube technology is a flash in the pan. People who really know where it's at are into methane micro-lasers. Is there anything you can't do with those?!!

    I know that a lot of MAME home arcade hackers use just the same technique to make input controllers for their cabinets. You might even have enough extra inputs with a 104-key keyboard so you could wire up the joysticks!
