1. Yes! Yes! Yes! OK, maybe not immunity, but a more K5-like (being careful to engineer it so that editors and users get equal mod points, and lots of them, but not so that it can be abused like on K5) 2. Where? Unfortunately, Slash isn't really the best engine to use for a system like that. I do agree that one is needed - the classic incident you mention in #3 was addressed by Rob with a user-created story, which is in a hidden area of Slashdot (Trolltalk resides in the same area). 3. See #2, and make it more democratic, like K5. 4. I agree. Also, I feel that the mod scores should show the actual mod scores, and how many of them were done by editors (who modded would be even better). Karma should also go back to displaying the number. 5. OK - I have it set to receive mod messages, but that is important 6. If you fix the mod system, you won't have to. However, I feel that the text should be "Your post, (post title), was moderated (type) on (time/date) by (user)". 7. OK, sounds good. How 'bout someone fire michael? Maybe even $rtbl him! 8. Didn't someone port it to CSS Strict a while ago? 9. I disagree. An open submissions queue period. Look at K5 - Rusty just keeps it running. 10. Myself, I use Nested, and the Javascript in the Dynamic modes just adds bandwidth and CPU usage.
Even though you're flaming GYDUMA promoters, and trolling us normal people who don't WANT GYDUOAs, you do have a point. How about a moderation system for auctions, and basically, -1 means Buyer Beware, 0 means Could Be Risky, +1 means Good Luck, +2 means Pretty Safe, +3 means Safe Enough (Taco would have to start putting in fraud protection for the buyer here), +4 means Very Safe, and +5 means Extremely Safe.
Hell, why does Epinions exist? Usually when I'm buying el cheapo consumer grade stuff, I look there for anecdotal reviews.
How 'bout they call it Melted Server? As for the K5 $5 for 1K impressions ads that someone in this thread suggested, why not just use Google AdWords? It's pretty cheap, and I think OSDN injects their ad system with Google ads. I certainly don't mind them - I'm running Opera with AdWords right now. It's almost useful (granted, on small screens, the first thing I do is crack it).
Classifieds would be good. Yes, people do use their journals to advertise old hardware they're throwing out, but that's not easily found. For now, could someone set up a classified ad journal? Basically, you pick a category (HW, SW, Other), and put an ad in with the details, a link to a picture, and a contact method (be it phone, snail mail, or e-mail).
If you're too lazy to copy and paste, it's $75 for use at ThinkGeek and three of their T-Shirt. Sucks, doesn't it? And/. can take away your rights, because of the agreement, and the fact that it is a work for hire.
I don't know how the admin end of/. works, but I think that when an editor goes into the admin section, and posts a story, it should be moved into a "posted stories - do not repost" section. Of course, I think Slashdot could use a better moderation system. K5 has a good idea in their philosophy that people should always have modpoints, but their implementation is poor, and a trollwar could end up in (3.00/84) posts or something like that. I think that there should be 10 modpoints per thread, and they should get hit with a multiplier derived from your karma. OK, so you'll need to milk those decimal places, but I think that's the best way to perform fair moderation. Also, I think that posts should go into a Bayesian filter and be scored based on their ranking, and after 1000 posts in a topic (after all, something that would be good in the Apple section could be bad in the Apache or BSD sections), the Bayesian filter gets a Karma 1. M2 will still work on mods, hurting their value (and the modders karma), and the Bayesian has one difference in karma handling for it; it gets separate karma for each topic.
Actually, what I find funny is that about 33% of the ads are for MS, 33% are for OSDN properties (including some other/. features), and the rest are for other technology related sites. Myself, I don't care about the horizontal banner or the block ads, but the vertical banners are a pain. However, why don't they release a subscription that has all of the features except ad suppression (or maybe just vertical ad suppression, now that they have those annoying pieces of crap)?
Actually, subscribers can help the editors correct stories before they leave the mysterious future. Read this: http://yro.slashdot.org/faq/subscriptions.shtml
It doesn't say that subscribers actually get to do that, but I've seen it happen.
No asterisk because I don't have a subscription here!
BTW, adding in a 1.4 Tualie P3 and a 1.7 Banias PM, and overclocking them to 1.8GHz would make it VERY interesting, as a 1.7 Banias can already take on a 3.06GHz P4 rather effectively, and a 1.8 Tualie would beat a 1.8 Northwood P4. And, a 1.8 Duron, Celery (sorta dumb, though, as a 1.8A P4 can murder a 2.6 celery), and Athlon XP (we'll even try a 1.53GHz 1800+ (for a PR of 1.8GHz) AND a 1.8GHz 2200+ (for an actual speed of 1.8GHz)) would be nice.
Also, I did not say cost would be prohibitive, just that R&D does cost money, and converting the current Pentium M to Socket 478 would not be cheap. If PowerLeap makes a Socket 479 to 478 adaptor, or Intel releases a Skt478, my next box WILL be a Pentium M on a low-end Skt478 mobo. If not, it'll be a Duron 1.8 on a low-end SktA, or a PM on a RadiSys LS855 (only *ATX Skt479 mobo, and it's uATX, which means I can use my old case).
Sorry about the flame, but you came off as a troll. Now, as for the Pentium 4 being a worthy processor, I'd like someone to set up a little... experiment. Someone should try to push a top-of-the-line Pentium Pro to 1.8GHz, in ANY WAY POSSIBLE, including modding a VapoChill to work with Socket 8. Obviously, this test should be performed using a high-end Socket 8 mobo, and throwing in as much modern hardware as possible. Then, that rig should be benchmarked against a P4-1.8A rig (2nd generation of NetBurst) with as close specs as possible (same graphics card, as much RAM, same HDD, etc., etc.) to make sure that the benchmark is of the CPU, and not the GPU and RAM. I'll be damned if the Pentium Pro doesn't come out on top (unless it's because of a low FSB).
That's the fscking point! He needs to migrate to Windows, but he only knows UNIX, so he's cornered - until he either finds out about Cygwin, or gets MS(R) UNIX(TM) Services(TM)
What about Afghanistan, for that matter? BTW, didn't Bush say something like he wouldn't try to build other nations when he was campaigning, and then he turned around and invaded Afghanistan and Iraq?
I'm not quite sure on how Fasttrack works, but wouldn't the current batch of K-Lite clients just get locked out of Fasttrack 3 (what post-KL++ KaZaA clients will use), and not the current Fasttrack 2? So, anyone with KL++ could still swap with anyone who has an old version of KaZaA or KL++ users, right?
No. The Pentium Pro is the first generation of Intel's P6 core. Then the Pentium II enhanced that, the Pentium III added SSE to it, Timna would have added integrated graphics, sound, and memory controllers to it, and the Pentium M made it even more efficient and powerful. The Pentium M is the last generation of the P6 core, whereas the Pentium Pro is the first generation of the P6. Actually, a P3 Tualie has a higher model number (Family 6 Model 11) than the Pentium M (Family 6 Model 9), and a P3 would be the closest to a Pentium M that uses the P6 core. BTW, I know that IHBT, but I figured that if someone stumbles across this thread, I didn't want them to be misinformed. FOAD, troll.
I was implying in the US... I've heard of the Acorns before, and almost downloaded an emulator for the Archimedes, but Acorns are nearly unheard of over here.
BTW, the VIA EPIA boards are based on the VIA C3 and the VIA Eden (an underclocked C3). Another advantage of the VIA CPUs is that they're multiplier unlocked, so you can easily overclock. If you can find a Nehemia Eden, and it's cheaper than a 1GHz Nehemia C3, crank that multiplier up through the roof.
