I've had a slashdot account for quite a while, but I've only been reading/posting faithfully for a while here. For the most part, it's entirely enjoyable. My karma seems to take a lot of hits, though.:7
Mod this up! This is an excellent idea. Yet another measure to prevent this from happening, to some effect, is Google's caching service. It tends to work quite well if a myriad of changes aren't made to a page in a short time. Just a thought.
I agree that's an excellent idea. Unfortunately, many censorware applications try to block all "indecent" material, whether it be graphically or textually. Therefore, the idea doesn't hold up to what they want.
I'm 15 years old and attend a public high school here in suburban Denver. We surf through the Bess proxy which has blocked articles from Wired [the infamous Courtney Love speech], Salon [these articles are "constantly changing" and often include "sexual content." In my opinion, we go out in the hallways and hear far worse.], and even/. [some quickies have been blocked]. Luckily, the sysadmin isn't the brightest guy. A few other/.ers at the school and I have edited netscape.cfg so we could change the proxy at will. Bess involves censorship of unpopular ideas and must be stopped immediately.
I agree that getting Linux users on apps like StarOffice is important, but Windows producing a version of MS Office that doesn't run in WINe would likely get them into more anti-trust problems. Besides, MS products rarely go through many changes and the new versions of Office [including fileformats] are still compatible with the old. Therefore, I believe that this is an incredible advancement in Linux history.
To build an effective network of people with obscure songs and fast connections, a service must first be popular. Too many people like Napster's close-to-leeching format to switch to a service like MojoNation. MojoNation is great for the geeks like us, but it doesn't seem like a system that will ever go mainstream. Which means that I can't get live radiohead mp3s from 100 different t1 users.:(
I really enjoyed your column. I especially enjoyed the unusual shortness. ^_^ Anyway, I would have added one more continent: newbies. They're all around, and we can't ignore them. All we can do is try to make knowledgeable users out of them.
Yes, audiocatalyst is the best encoder in my opinion. Especially with the full version. You should really give it a try. It has fast CDDB support, which is really smooth.

...are you allowed to say that on /.?
This is not a troll. I repeat, this is not a troll.
Easy karma by making typos. :)
This isn't a troll, moderators. Merely a joke.
I agree with you completely about the editing of the draft.

What do you think of my mail client? Outlook not so good
Doesn't this belong in a quickie?
I don't like the somewhat random usage of the bold tag in this article

I find it ironic that you remembered the completely forgettable alphanumeric designation STR-1011. :)

Doesn't blockstackers already have a patent for everything? ^_^
