  1. Re:When did Ask Slashdot turn into Tech Support? on Traffic Shaping on DSL? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for proving my point. When did the comments section turn into a place for children to use the profanity they've learned in the schoolyard?

  2. Let Usenet Guide The Way on Best Websites for Developers? · · Score: 1

    Why rely on on websites and book? There is invariably at least one comp.* group for each programming language. The moderated lists are a great place to Learn By Lurking (tm) IMHO.

    As for websites and books, I would suggest starting with a solid textbook style teaching reference and then moving onto websites. Programming websites tend to be heavy on advocacy and examples but lacking on background and theory.

  3. When did Ask Slashdot turn into Tech Support? on Traffic Shaping on DSL? · · Score: 1

    As for the answer to the question, I suggest exploring the QoS settings in W2K server.

    Commentary: There is a fine line between being a support center for Joe-Bob and a discussion driven community forum. The average /.'er is savy enough to search deja/google for these types of questions, and at least exhaust those avenues of research before posting an AS question. I get several pertinant results with an un-refined deja search - with some honing I bet I could find the answer to this question in 5 minutes.

    AS need not be a place for know-it-all computer types to rag on newbies. Well thought out questions are not the monopoly of us (self-claimed) know-it-alls.
