Was that the same show where thay take security camera footage and "enhance" it to show the crystal clear picture of something that once was only one pixel?
Maybe that gives you a clue on theit other techniques
From now on, we should only speak of the 'Christianity theory' and the 'Islamic theory', as neither is scientifically proven. For some reason however, I have the feeling that the 'theory' zealots won't like this...
Given the accepted fact that nobody is perfect, dupes happen. I understand it is difficult to remove a story once posted and sometimes a new fruitful discussion actually comes in the dupe. So how about this: * I'm conviced that, once a dupe is detected, 500 people will mail the editor about it. * Slashdot makes another category: dupes * once a dupe is detected, it gets listed in the dupes category * Users can put in their prefs whether they want to see stories in the dupes category. As far as I can tell, this would solve the problem without code. Whiners can easily be told to edit their prefs, no stories need to be yanked. Everyone happy
ALthough the moderator may disagree with parents opinion (finding it naieve for example), the post is not a flamebait at all. Although I also disagreee with the opinion stated in the post, the text itself is honestly expressed, not meant to insult and should therefore not be modded as such.
If you disagree with the post, reply. Don't be a weazel and abuse your mod points
although you won't read this I think it's safe you say many people just do not believe your explanation anymore. The thing is that it's not just this incident. The many Ronald Piquepaille post, which are shown many times to be copyright-infringing ripoffs, solely meant to make money just shows, over and over again, that slashdot editors allow this kind of abuse. And it is you allowing this to happen rather that their attempt to try that annoys many. The same issue goes for **BB. Many people submit highly interesting posts, and just having one guy getting three posts in a row by one editor really is too unbelievable to be a coincidence. I find you naive in believing Scuttlemonkey has no added reasons to keep on posting these.
I didn't know corporations had anything to say over which laws are passed in parlement. I know we jest on how the government is 0wned by MegaCorps, but to see it brought as bluntly as this (on a topic that doesn't really interfere with their businessplan!!!) is a bit scary. It is possibly even more scary that not a whole lot of posters seems to notice this fact, and apparently accept that the CEO of a company can pass laws in parlement.
90% of the people of Sudan are dying of starvation. The political background of their death should not be a reason to not help them. Or are you, from your cosy chair, going to tell them it is OK that they die becaus it is because some fuckheads decided to have a war. I'm going there next week. Wanna come so you can tell them that?
oh come on. Get off your high horse and wonder how many donations you made to Sudan where over 2 MILLION people died in the last few years. Yes, the tsunami is a disaster, but unfortnualtely there are many countries that are fare worse off. Just because you don't go there on holiday doesn't make it right to ignore it.
You'll have to look it up, but from the many times this issue has come up in/., the consensus seems to be that the vendors don't have a conspiracy not to include it, but simply because the hardware can't handle it...
Slashdot Mirror
he is not a US citizen nor will he ever set foot in the US again given his last experience.

Degrees Kelvin is not a unit.
Uh, as long as we're being pedantic, yes, it is.
No it's not.
the name of the unit is "Kelvin", not "degrees Kelvin"

If you want that, than you can more easily post some porn as the people who even know what an IP address is tend to have secure machines.

No
You can use a proxy like squid
Is this in writing?
Is it in lawyer-compatible writing?
Is it written in a way that they cannot duck out of it Rambus style?

I usually give them postmaster@127.0.0.1
(Number 4 on top 500 list)
...while being Number 6 on top 300 list, and Number 65 on top 2000 list.
This is like those CDs that have 'best of the Top40' and not contain the top10 list of that
After the whole debacle with the DNS somehow i don't see Verisign prioritize ethics over profit any time soon

I'd rather suggest we all check that page with lynx from all over the world and let them scream DDos attack to CNN

Because Ogg decompression is much more relient on CPU power which embedded devices tend not to have.
