Hey regeya, Phil the Canuck here. No, I don't do this on K5. In fact, it drives me up the wall when people do this on K5 (as you well know, K5 is not Slashdot). I was just hopping over to/. to see if there were any good stories, and the opportunity to do this (3rd post, no less) was too great to pass up.
If it makes you feel any better, "Dick" doesn't even post to K5.
No, no! Silly/bot! As I said here, it was a joke. See, those that frequent kuro5hin will understand. The post was for their amusement, and my mod totals clearly show that some of them got the joke.
So you've flamed me for no good reason. I read and analyzed this (presumably, since you didn't get the joke) about 12 hours before you did.
If either of us has demonstrated any mental shortcomings, I'm afraid it is you. Your two (yes two - you're obviously the same maroon who posted the first "moron" reply) posts show hostility and an unwillingness or inability to resarch the meaning of a post you are moderating (that is why you're posting AC, after all).
In short, please fuck off and leave my posts alone until such time as your critical thinking skills have improved to an acceptable level.
Do not believe Satan's words. Follow in the path of light that the Lord our God has provided for us. This article is the work of Satan. Just like that Lunis Trovalds guy.
More voluntary donation bullshit. Voluntary models don't work. The vast majority will take a free lunch if they can get it. The poster I responded to clearly stated that he wanted to make money as an author. Try to keep up.
As an aspiring author, you should realize why publishers deserve to profit from your works and determine where they will be sold/displayed. Publishers provide authors the means to make a living from their works, and are therefore entitled to control the distribution.
If you have a problem with that, publish your works yourself. Just see how far you'll get.
I'm going to get moderated to (-50, asshole) for saying this, but it's about time.
Publishers have a right to profit from the works they manufacture and distribute, and libraries have had a free ride for too long. Libraries can charge small fees for issuing library cards to recoup costs. The only objection one can have to this is if they want a free (as in lunch) ride. The information would still be available and free (as in speech).

-1, I already saw this on Kuro5hin.
Monolith's Lithtech engine (No One Lives Forever) is pretty good.

That's not what Pavel and Sergei told me.
Well she was bound to catch a virus of some sort, what with dating all of those hockey players.
I choose quick and cheap.

But how do the authors make the money to pay for the publishers? And don't give me any volumtary donation bullshit.
I can't get my head around the posters at this site. Either it's ultra right-wing libertarian free-market zealots, or fucking communists.
Your non-point about producing economically viable product is asinine. The products are economically viable.
For a more complete explanation of what I'm talking about, go here.
Have a nice day.
Maybe if you stop being such a whiny little bitch, people will start respecting you.

I'll never understand the slashbot party line that anyone who makes a profit is evil.

Did you even read the fucking article?
Silly person, Canadian engineers don't work in Canada anymore.
Fuck off, you goddamn useless frog.
You bet!
Keep writing Jon, we all love you .
Someone mod this up! This is pure gold!
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
