Whoa, asshole. Lay off. Or is he not entitled to express the opinion that he thinks weblogs are mostly bullshit?
Just in case you have a short attention span, I'll quote: "Get over it: the internet stands for freedom of speech; anyone can express themself; and you can't gag them just because you think they're stupid."
Man, that's a wicked double standard you've got there. Watch out, you might hurt yourself with it if you're not careful.
Excellent idea! They should all be *forced* to use horrid input devices for weblogs... maybe they'll get tired of it and shut the hell up for a change. =)
Pork was not mentioned anywhere in the article. Insinuations of Nazism and anti-semitism need not apply, and are only figments of the submitter's hatred for the US, and your ignorance.
Next time, engage your brain before you show your ass.
There was an 1.5 hour delay between the articles. Taco had plenty of time to check.
And they should all know exactly what the other editors have posted anyway, it's not like there's hundreds or thousands of stories getting posted every hour. Maybe 2 dozen a day. If they can't keep up with that, they don't need to be editors.
Besides, the only one who really seems to have a problem with it is Taco. Everyone else has managed to avoid excessive duping. They probably refresh the main page once in a while...
The dupes that are months apart are one thing - sure, something might slip through the crack[pipe]s, but same-day dupes, and only two articles apart? Incompetence.
Yes, that's right, they wouldn't, but not for the reasons you think - not because it's 'wrong' or 'disgusting'; rather because people like you, people who can't distinguish between reality and fiction, would crucify them. Or sue them.
Do you know how terrible, how absolutely hellish WWII was? Neither do I, even though I've got a tiny window into it from reading many books and soldiers' accounts and seeing many pictures of it. It makes the whole WTC incident, including the footage of people jumping to their deaths, seem like a birthday party.
But that doesn't stop us from playing any of the WWII-themed games out there. And by 'us' I mean of course the people who can tell the difference between a game and real life.
But you're right about one thing. The only thing that's going to help states and municipalities deal with their budget deficits is for the states and municipalities to quit spending money excessively and irresponsibly.
Noticed that if I didn't buy cigarettes I couldn't smoke them.
Stopped buying cigarettes.
Quit smoking.
It's easier to restrain oneself from buying cigarettes than it is to get past the psychological barrier of "quitting smoking". Gotta look at the problem differently, is all... =)
Now, the old habits I *did* have trouble with. Every time I'd come downstairs I'd grab for the end table where I used to keep them, that was the meanest one. But even it wore off after a while.
Slashdot Mirror
Somehow, someone will manage to find a way to blame the US for this.
It's the Slashdot Standard Reaction, so lets get busy!

Not my fault you're slow. =)
And I did misquote it, didn't I? Oh well. Only cos I haven't seen it in a while. It was close...
"Do you know what irony is, Baldrick?"
"Yeah, my lord. It's like goldy and bronzy, only it's made of irony."
Yah, no kidding.. you're much more likely to find "Turd Bursts" instead of "Word Bursts" on a weblog...

"CT: Yeah yeah. It's a dupe. Funny that not a single reader emailed me in almost 2 hours to tell me."
Oh, I *see*. It's OUR fault. Gotcha.
Moron.
Hey spacklewit, you can't be bothered to read your own website, why would we think you'd bother to read your email too?

More like 'All your dopes are belong to Slashdot' =)
Same here, mine's been out for over a year now. Never thought I'd actually be happy about Bellsouth's incompetence...

it's "free" as in "$20 worth of beer"
Oboe lessons?
'They' are the states, not the feds.

An actual link
Yes! They just disappear!! Honestly, you'd think someone was coming in, stealing the damn things, and then selling them off.
Anti-distinctly-minty?
Only if someone's there to hear it.
Peter Johnson? Sounds like someone's got a willie fixation...
Smoked for 10 years.
Noticed that if I didn't buy cigarettes I couldn't smoke them.

Someone's obviously upset that it wasn't a porn link..
Holy shit, a voice of reason and sanity!
Didn't think there were any left..
Rock on =)
More like Dark City.
"Shut it down, Mr. Book."
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Pick any country, cos by the sound of it, anywhere has to be better than the US in your mind.
But if you're going to threaten it, do it. Don't be a Baldwin. And don't forget to renounce your citizenship while you're at it...
