Where everyone is a moderator and the points don't matter!
Defiantly the way things should be. Other websites you receive 'karma whores' where they try to farm and get points, I've liked Slashdot's setup because it encourages good thought-out ideas vs who can have the most shock value.
I had just installed an update for windows 7 on Sunday that did not work and my computer kept restarting, finally had to do a recovery to get the machine back working again.
I have had an unusual amount of issues with windows updates this year.
Surprised it has not taken companies longer to deny content to the user if ad-block is detected.
I have seen several sites that have a paragraph where the ads have been blocked stating that they won't get money if you block their ads.
It is awesome to see the awareness and number of users utilizing ad blockers, however there will be a point when the sites will have to figure it out to force to you see advertisements.
*On another note - Black Mirror had a great episode on advertisements and making people pay to not watch them.
One of my previous phone numbers was a phone number for a business that closed. That wonderful business was for Male Hair Removal. So I had random men and wives calling me for hair removal which led to some awkward conversations!
At least they are not taking that phrase literally! A benefit of converting cow manure into renewable energy prevents harmful methane from reaching the atmosphere.
However it does seem to be a big advertisement campaign, which company can be 'green' and still make money off that process. The big companies won't truly make an effort to be environmentally conscious it would cost them too much.

The power of bullshit never ceases to amaze!

There has to be a fallout for this, anyone know when and how this will effect those who are in the United States?
