You are an idiot. The management of this site is such a huge job that the editors don't have time to play favorites. I don't know any of the editors and I've had three stories posted.
Perhaps, like all editors, they give preference to people that know how to spell and aren't annoying them with constant worthless submissions.
Get over yourself. People died on a scientific mission and all you can think about are Slashdot conspiracies.
Beyond this point of greater pay, more money would make current soldiers happier and cause them to recruit automatically, even if indirectly. The current economy is perfect for military recruiting so I think their recruiting fears will be alleviated without a pay raise within the next eighteen months or so.
While I'm not as annoyed as the AC, I think you are a troll and you don't know what you are talking about.
Education, as in kindergarten through 12th grade, certainly has major problems throughout the system but university level higher learning is top-notch, pays well and lures the finest minds in the world into abandoning their home country.

Maybe that will be a great incentive for people to stop buying crap that they don't really need. I've seen this neofrugality happening in computers for awhile now. I believe it's also happening in the public at large. Not that there's a problem with buying stuff but it can't be the fundamental basis of society.

Agreed. I don't wear a wristwatch anymore. There's no point. The cell phone is sufficient. Desk clocks handle the other instances requiring time awareness. Unless you are a student, wristwatches are wholly unnecessary and a matter of preference.
Somebody at Microsoft is smoking crack to think that people would wear a Microsoft watch. Perhaps they tried to give them away to employees but they wouldn't deal with that nonsense. Hence, stockpile of watches.
Topical, overblown, and in the end it was outdated by the time you got it.
There's no point in buying any book about computers or the Internet. There's particularly no point in buying any book about operating systems unless it's a reference book.
Trolling for traffic--as opposed to writing a great article that appeals to/. readers--and trolling for buyers are entirely different things.
First of all, editors are not the cause of "trolling for buyers", advertisers are. Publications offer advertisers the ability to troll at a certain price.
This is a case of an allegedly big magazine purposely putting/. in their predictions and essentially substituting their own name with/. to describe things that they will do (have done.)
But perhaps I'm giving Salon too much credit.
They needed 5 ideas. They needed traffic. They had only four thoughts that barely qualify as ideas. They have no traffic.
Add a dash of/. to give your site a momentary rise in traffic... Yay!
Exactly my sentiments. Slashdot should have rejected this submission solely on the grounds that Salon--a magazine that people allegedly read more than,say, New Scientist--was trolling for traffic.
I consider this piece of garbage to be irrefutable evidence that Salon is already dead.

These public officials are pompous asses that got what they deserved. The only thing that can protect citizens against government is a strong media and that is exactly what these guys lived up to.
You wouldn't know good journalism if it smacked you in the head. I can only guess that you either didn't RTFA or that your claim of being a journalist is bogus.

To figure out what's in the beef, just check out the little motto on every drive through window...
"People are our main ingredient." Or some other illiterate variation thereof.
I wish more cities had strict lighting laws. Tere is no valid reason for the US to look like a damn prison when the sun goes down. It's ridiculous for night to be as bright as day because a few people are cowards. Light helps criminals. Only sudden light-like motion detection trips-deter them.
Agreed. I'm not against someone looking at porn but the psychological effects worse than cocaine by orders of magnitude.
One misguided poster wrote about how his wife was addicted and how he was a bit physically premature. Things go faster but it isn't physical speed. In fact, I'd say that self-exploration is healthy and can increase physical stamina and let you try things out in the relative safety of your mind before asking a woman (to the women and fags on/., get over the semantics and don't tell me about your "special" man, someone or animal.)
The speed--and the damaging of interpersonal skills-- manifests itself in the form moving too quickly. I don't think it changes your personality or even your appeal. It is the emotional speed that basically makes a woman reconsider someone who was otherwise really cool if you waited a bit longer.
Like most geeks here, I've done my share of porn watching and used my skills to get the highest quality stuff out there but there is a real point where it moves from healthy to problematic. I'm happy and chilling without it anywhere near me. When I viewed it, there would be a mild undercurrent of neurotic jumpiness--a definite impatience with how fast things got done or moved in any sort of way. The social effects are very subtle... the kind of ambiguous "something's different" feeling. Not unlike cocaine's effects.
I don't like things that get me wired up and I'm definitely not down with destroying my ability to be mellow or romantic. Leaving porn isn't easy and probably won't be to most people here but it's kind of critical for society to *choose* not to view the stuff. My rationale is based solely on my interpretation of its side effects--not religion, politics or a politically correct agenda.
Porn has real damaging consequences. Luckily, as pointed out earlier, it has no physical consequences and can be eliminated with a bit of philosophical conviction on how a life should proceed.
yeah... right now, hydroponics is limited to the marijuana industry. Given the success of BC Bud, I don't see any reason that these methods can't be expanded to other crops.

Even beautiful Western Europe.
So get a grip, get a clue and get lost.

I think that has something to do with it.
Only in a Los Angeles Internet cafe... imagine that geek on geek violence that comes out of Counter Strike with this thing around.
That .walk stuff is indeed pedestrian.

Microsoft is pretty much double plus unclever.

I had some moderation points earlier today but they are gone now. I hope someone else puts this up as "Interesting."
If it's a lawsuit here, we don't have much of a say either... exactly when did /.ers have a say in the destiny of anything?
