2) You can just remove his blog from DNS and still read the article.
3) Get off your ass and find interesting stories for us all to read.
He gets his articles pushed to the front page because they are generally decent submissions, I would hate to block the stories just because they came from one person. I look around slash, and see serial posters and submitters, its just the way it is.
Having said that, allowing a quick moderation on the article itself would be a good idea, moderators getting a chance to mark stories as Dupes or just plain incorrect directly from the page would possibly alliviate some of the more annoying issues we see.

There are a number of comments posted with offers of help with hosting, mirrors etc.
Anyone know where I can get the live version from to try???
For a while, the mails I get as part of slashdot (the ones to inform me of comment moderation etc) were filtered out as spam.
They are bulk driven mails that passed a criteria, and somebody with my old provider mustv clicked "Report as spam", or the filter was screwed.
I wanted these mails, but someone else might not, how should a spam filter decide who is right?
I do realise here on slash that its a preference to send or not, but I can quite feasibly see somebody getting irate and just saying "damn you all, stop sending me this crap" and clicking the SPAM button.
Should I be blocked from getting these mails because YOU said you think its spam?
As I said in my original posting, there will always be obvious junk that neither of us wants, but there is a VERY large proportion of grey area mails that depend upon a users' own preferences.
The problem is, one persons spam is another persons ham.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
It all depends on perspective.
Of course, there are common things that neither party wants, but giving a one size fits all filter for all but the most obvious will cause false positives.
Don't you think the big mail companies would have sorted it out by now if they could? They have the largest harvest of spam around.
[I was going to stop here, below are just random ramblings]
Having said all that, I believe every person should be allocated a bloom filter with their mail classification preferences. This filter is used against the results of all the identification rules.
All the mail companies should accept this token and display mail which passes. Currently, I have 4 mail providers who deal with spam differently, I would like to setup one set of rules. The good thing about using a bloom is that preferences can be merged increasing the effectiveness, for instance, a virus filter, a fakes filter, a childsafe filter, or an office filter, developers filter etc.
Of course, this way, we don't change the front end mailing system itself, and people who don't use this token are free to handle the mail however they like.
Word processing or web browsing would ROCK at those speeds.
I know I'm being pedantic, but there is no reason in faster bigger better when current tech is so underused.
Its like buying a car that does 200mph, but then only doing the school run in it.
For those of us that *use* our computers to the fullest, your right it will be a godsend. Direct access to memory without a deep cache, or needing a super pipeline would definately be nice.
The cache on my old 62020 was 256 BYTES, perfect for fitting a tight loop in and short enough to not cause problems. The current range of cpus have more cache than I used to have main memory!
Speaking of which, could you fit and run an entire OS from cache? is it even possible?
The grafiti you are seeing is part of the slashdot effect. Some of the hackers heree will swarm around a site looking for entry points. Wikis provide endless fun and amusement.
A wiki allows most pages to be edited by anyone, and you have discovered one of these abused pages.
It looks like its been cured now, but the revision notes still indicate the bad revision.
Most wikis impliment an administrator editable Locked flag to prevent such changes to special pages.
I'm torn. My mind is screaming not to look at this article, my eyes are busy locking themselves shut, all my instincts are telling me it will have a double shock!

I get similar concerns when looking at glowsticks.
I am reminded of the people standing on the rooftops looking through the cracks in the cherbobyl reactor and wowing at its strange glow.
Sends a shiver down my spine every time.

a few points on Rolands submissions.

2) You can just remove his blog from DNS and still read the article.
3) Get off your ass and find interesting stories for us all to read.
