Here is why JonKatz is worse than John C. Dvorak as far as journalism goes. Yankees.com is THE reason Derek Jeter lost to Nomar in the All Star voting. Yankees.com has more than 2 times the email add than the Redsox.com, yet it failed to generate decent online voters for Jeter, Redsox.com not only send a newsletter in the beginning on the ballot, it sends another emergency email to register users in the end, which boosted just enough votes to surpass Jeter.

As a big yankees fan, I never care about the site except I found online ticketMaster from there. And normal yankees fan doesn't care it either, in news:alt.sports.baseball.ny.yankees nobody mention it either, you can check Dejanews if you don't believe me.
I havn't had a +1 at at least 6 weeks, yet my krama (8) is higher than yours (3), which just got a boost in this very comment. Also I has a Amiga bashing comment got knock down. I guess we will never know what witchery chant does it.
As far as I can remember, the "old" moderation system's weakness were exposed under 2 occasions. 1) The recent W. Richard Steven accident and 2) The Alan Turnning accident.
The closest to this one is at one post a couple of NT troll yelling stupid one-liners again and again, which is nothing. I have actual experience with the Turnning story because I was moderator at the time. This things can make you really angry because you don't have enough point to shoot down the dickheads.
What I'm suggesting is the new system that designed for the "sudden explosion", how about a emergency detecting script that silently waiting for the "5 percent posts are troll" scenario and quickly react by shutting down the "0" post from the anonymous readers for a couple of hours and distribute addition mod points to current moderators.
I don't understand the original explaination either, especially the "10 comment part. Are you showing the 10 mods of the supposedly bad moderators (he can only mod 5 posts is he) or the 10 mod of the M2 moderator.
Apple makes a combination HDTV/VCR/game console/internet access device/satellite receiver/etc. that you only have to connect three cables to at an affordable price, and it comes it various colors to match your interior decor. It sells well in educational, computer novice, and Sega-fan markets, but everyone else blows it off as not being a serious computer.
And people bitch that the combo doesn't have a flappy drive, "Only apple will make a one-button remote control!"
Moderators are not always right, how do you save a good post back if it's deleted? Evenmore, a script kiddie will quickly write a perl script that load the slashdot pages 10 godzillian times every day with different names, and have moderator access everyday. All he has to do is feed the script "flesh" usernames every 3 days. And delete Bruce Paren and Shoeboy's posts left and right. Now what do you do.
IMHO the only way to make the up coming auto "-1" policy is change from 5 negative scroe and out to 3 strikes and out. Let them losers log on and log off his ISP like a monkey.

Not if they saw an supermarket ad that sells the box 40% cheaper because they private windows --yea, a lot of little shop here in ny don't pay windows license and don't give you a windows CD, more than ebay anyway.
Their current dominance in office productivity software will not save them, Star Office being offered free will do to them what they did to Netscape (what sweet irony it is)
Don't forget when IE was being offer free, it was inferior to Netscape, but SUN doesn't has a OS to push it to people's mouth though. I guess they will have to "intergrade" it to the applidviewer hehe.
I'd like to point out that, MS is not the first one to play the online media company role, unlike what they did in X86 desktops. Don't you see AOL is AIM'ing microsofe pretty good, AOL has the leverage to force people to upgrade to an entirely different AIM if it want. Not to mention that AOL runs promotion and FUD as good as M$.
And the free ISP thing is a joke, everybody offers it now, there's another ISP offering the exact 3 years deal with eMachine (damn if I remember who) aol is keep sending you "another 2 free months" CD after you quick, And none of them is that much better that netzero, with free pop3. If I want to pay for the ISP, I want cable connection.

Re:Benefits of DVD on a desktop machine?

DVD for Linux

· Score: 1
*I* really want a light portable video solution, here are the solution I come across:
1)dvd player +2.2" CASIO TV (yes, 2.2 is fine by me the one I have has 600,000+ pixel. I really bought this for the baseball playoff.) $500+100
2) dvd +Sony Glasstron! simulates 38" screen in front of your eyes! 500+500, too rich for my blood, also I was turn off by mix review of glasstron (can't view too long; some people can't use it; LOOK LIKR AN ALIEN IN NEW YORK SUBWAY --why can't Sony make a rayband style glass?)
3) My libretto + portable 2X dvd and a PCMCIA card, I only need to invest 500 more.
This is a very good solution, one thing that stops me is the DVD price. I watch a lot of movie every week, I have like 7 video rental cards in my pocket and I know all about their discount policy. For DVD rental I had to feed 3.7 to blockbuster. (there is another thing is that I really want to catch all the "Law and Order" and I don't believe the old movies I'm renting form the central libriry has release in DVD format yet.)
4) So I finally find out this dream solution. It's light, this flexible, it can tape tv and movie in incredible resolution and brother, I can't afford it. http://bhphoto.com/video/sony%20prosumer/gvd300. html
It cost at least 1200 but blow out dvd format. Well maybe I'll buy it in two years.
5) Cheap bastard solution, a beat up used 8mm camcoder+ portable TV, but they all heeavy, so forget about it.
I don't care if PPC chip so much better than intel on portable pc, apple will never make a portable as light (2pound) and as small as the libretto, so what's the point. Maybe IBM can do something about it.
Do you really think they don't know about it all alone, the fact that it works indicates that they can't fix the backdoor. I "log" on my own account sent some warning mail and change the password, but I can't read mail when I "log" on to another account, (the account is my full name, just want to know the fellow that shares my name.:)
I have move my primary accound a year ago, but I still have 10~ mailing list accound on it. (it was the fastest at the time.) At least you got to change the password to something else no-resamble your other password.
That's what I thought before I moved to america. I still understand why people use "devil", "blue devil", "devil ray", etc, to name a sports team, most of these "evil" names are for small time teams, so food for thought for you.
I doubt that's possible --you can compose the post for 3 hours. If Rob did want to implement it, use the "reply button hit time" instead of the "submet" time, I suggest adding a feature on the posting page. Add a "this is not the first post" sentence for the first 20 posts except the first one, so there would be only one "true" first post and I think half of the people wouldn't waste it.
