I had a similar problem. Then I took a drink from the Firehose, and what do you know, I got modpoints again! Metamoderating might help too. Apparently the system favours a sort of balance of activites.
It's not just one preschool, but over a hundred, and it's been going on for at least a couple of years. This is just one school that's testing it. The Data Inspection Board (Datainspektionen) is investigating whether it complies with Swedish privacy laws.
The general reaction to this among the Swedish public (as I gather from papers and other forums) is that the real problem is that there are too few teachers per child in daycare, and many don't like it, although some do see it somewhat safer than just relying on teachers counting the kids.
Ok there may be quite a few bitcoin articles on slashdot, but no one is forcing you to read them.
It's not that the story exists, it's the text in it. When you write "a digital currency known as Bitcoins" you assume that the reader doesn't know what Bitcoin is. The target audience is Slashdotters. The first sentence should just have said "Security researchers have unearthed a piece of malware that mints Bitcoins by using the infected machine's GPU."
Even worse, it's _Bool with one underscore and uppercase B. If you #include<stdbool.h> you get a #define bool _Bool which you can undefine if you really need the bool name for your own code.
Oh, but don't delete articles! That's rude and makes people teh sadz.
So we start finding sources for the articles instead.
But that takes time. A lot of time. Much more time than making things up and creating Wikipedia articles. The list of unsourced articles is piling up. I can't use this crap.
So we stop all new submissions until all current articles are properly sourced.
Wikipedia just got incredibly outdated. I don't need an encyclopedia telling me Mubarak is the president of Egypt. And anyway, even when you're done, you're gonna get the same problem again.
So we create a process where all submitted articles and changes need to go through a process of proper sourcing, verification, and editing before going live.
There's the people who hate Wikipedia because it's full of errors, biases, fancruft and badly disguised advertisments, making it unusable. So Wikipedia admins delete anything that is improperly sourced, biased or irrelevant. Then come the people who hate Wikipedia for deleting information, stating that everything can be fixed. So the admins wait, leaving unsourced, crappy material in the encyclopedia. Repeat ad absurdum.
[...] or refer to any brand of MP3 player as an "iPod".
I think you just used "MP3" to mean any digital audio file and compression format. It's easy to fall into those traps. Language is full of similar misconceptions or alterations that have built up through the years. Sometimes the meaning differs depending on what area you are in, like the word "theory" which means different things in science and otherwise, or "hacker" for that matter, which means different things in engineering and otherwise.
Yeah, I've had some problems with my robot. He betrays me for money, he drinks, smokes and gambles. But still, he's my best friend. I don't think I'll be suing MomCorp.

Has Anonymous gone out of fashion? I would have expected a mention of the fact that the web pages of the exhibition and the exhibition hall (Kistamässan) were DDoSed with a message from AnonOps Sweden stating (in Swenglish): Your decision to politically censor the pirate party, excluding them from gamex has not gone unnoticed by anonymous. That you would at the same time favor other parties does not improve the situation to your benefit.
Only valid under the assumption that the accusations are bogus.
Discovered by John McCarcy?
Let's just say longjmp without setjmp.
Yes it was. Steven Paul Jobs.
Another great Swedish product :-D
The pressure wave would likely still be moving at c or less.

Those who don't understand pointers are doomed to expect them to be managed.

A digital currency called Bitcoins, you say? Intriguing, tell me more!
I hope PPH is not short for Pol Pot Hitler :-/

Videocracy. Look it up.
So delete all articles without credible sources.

Congratulations, you just created Citizendium!
So why don't you use that instead?

Damn it, you beat me to it :-) Well played!

What a nice look into the future. We might have colours, but we're not allowed to enjoy the media because we live in the wrong place.
I think an android would have to be a boyfriend.
