Question: It says the comment limit is 30. Does this mean I'll miss all but the 30 most recent comments posted?
No. Say there are 300 comments. You will first go to a page with the 30 top comments (depending on how you have them sorted -- I use highest score first). At the bottom of the page you will see something like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Meaning you are on the first page of 10, each with 30 comments.
I am currently a junior in high school. During my first two years of high school I was involved in debate. I was in CX debate. There are two types of debate and this one was not our school's main focus. CX debate is much faster, much more policy oriented, and requires more work for prep. than the other. As a result the CXers (about 10 or so last year, 4 or 6 this year) were left in the squad room to work on their own, usally unsupervised. My sophmore year I had two periods of this in a row which meant 3 hours every other school day, not including lunch, of debate. 2 of the 3 other students I had during that time mistreated me to no end. I do not (and try to not) remember many specific events but the last one I remember was being forced into a trashcan and having a bottle of coke dumped on me.
I quit debate between my sophmore and junior year because I was fed up with this abuse. Many jokes were made that one day I would snap and kill many students, but luckily that never happened. I dropped out quietly mainly because I was still afriad. I got it taken out of my schedule and skipped the end of the year banquet. I didn't show up at the before-school-year workshop and told them about my desicion when asked.
I was scared of school at the beginning of my Junior year, but now everything is okay. It's amazing how much of a difference a couple of peers can make in the world of high school. I am enjoying school, as much as a geek like me can. I still loath pep rallies, homework, and many other staples of school, but that doesn't stop me from having a good time inside my classes. I enjoy playing chess, spades, or other games with my friends during lunch of free time. (Many of my friends are gamers, but I enjoy more traditional games..)
My favorite is retrobution strikes. That is where you place a script to watch your logs. When you see some script kiddy running an exploit against your system, you hit him with all of your favorite denial of service attacks. The poor haxor's machine with suddenly be flooded (especially when they are trying to take on my T3.)
Why reinvent the wheel? I'm sure there's someway you could interface port 23 on your machine and dosemu/bbs software. That would be sweet. Telnet bre.slashdot.org... (:
I think a user should be able to "nice" his or her comments. Let's say I want to post a joke that is vaguely related to the subject at hand. I dont want my alignment to go down a point from someone bumping it down to 0 or -1. So, I could "nice" it to 0. Or, let's say my alignment is so high that my default score is 2. I want to post a "me too" post that doesn't have any value to the discussion. I should be able to "nice" it down to 1 or 0 because it doesn't deserve to be above the pack.
Anyways.. besides a nice option.. I think there should be an option to post as an AC without having to log out.
Ok, I remember reading a big thread about this special effect SOMEWHERE. (Ask Slashdot?) Basically, you put a whole bunch of cameras in a line/circle, and they all take a picture at the same time. You use computers or other editing effects to make it seem like it's just one camera moving around.

Why is this needed?

That's not even sheep behavior, you've moved on to lemming. Congrats.
Ever read "Civil Disobediance?"

Rob -- Good work. Everything seems good, but somehow I got Slashdot Lite, when I didn't check the box.

Make sense?
Yes but... WM with Kde support has no root menus!
There are debs for wm compiled with kde in potato. apt-get install wmaker-kde
Kpager.. you'll have to compile that yourself.. Can't be that hard.
