But isn't the red tape method more rewarding in the end?
I'd say that depends.. are we talking about the original poster, or the tech guy whose name is most likely to appear in a logfile stating that ports were unblocked?;)
Remember, this is a valid request you're making, and implementing that request in a safe and secure manner is their job.
Hold your horses there, Master Monkey!
Techies shouldn't take just any order from any employee.
In any sane chain-of-trust, the employee should contact his department-manager, who should either check higher up or check with the tech manager.
A research lab has potentially dangerous information on hand, and as such, access to any sort of data is most likely on a very restricted basis.
In other words, the original poster would probably get in trouble by contacting tech straight away.
Slashdot has been getting a lot of flak lately.
As slashdot edges ever more into what has traditionally been Mainstream Media, readers will have to take steps to re-imagine what makes Slashdot special.
Zonk is an "editor" that hard-core enthusiasts can point to if they want a great example of what separates Mainstream Media from Slashdot.
Pitched, high tension battles fought thread to thread and post-to-post about who can flame Zonk in the most creative manner are experiences that mainstream media just can't offer up yet.
Keep reading slashdot to gain your own impression of what Slashdot's most incompetent "editor" contributes.
user may be a reserved word, but that doesn't matter at all. Pretty much any MySQL book tells you to encapsulate your tablenames and fieldnames with backticks.
You claim we're a part of nature, but I'd rather say we're apart from it. We combat diseases that are supposed to be effective as population-control (yes, yes I know, I'm a sinister/twisted person). We take more from nature than we need.
Maybe Agent Smith wasn't all that wrong in his statement about humans being parasites.
I guess my main problem is that the animals in danger of extinction are the wrong animals. Mosquitos, flies, cockroaches etc.. Get rid of 'em! Just don't touch my cuddly stoned koalas with sharp teeth and sharper nails!
Dear SlackBastardNetworks,
in Our bank [citibank.com] - "Citibank" - we pride ourselves on the fact that we only hire people with a SlashDot [slashdot.org] UserID less than 100000.
We meticulously screen our employees from time to time, to make sure we do not have employees that are a liability.
In fact, I feel so strongly about our bank that I'll give you a 8% monthly interest on your savings account, if you just Sign up [citibank.com] for a new account.
Advocate the usage of dupes as a valid means of distributing information? Applaud the lack of editing the... editors.. do? Re-establish slashdot as THE website that doesn't conform to html standards?

Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Your comment looks too much like ascii art.
Because it takes days to cook 200 kilo of bacon?
But isn't the red tape method more rewarding in the end?

All of the above?
/. in ten points!
Well, number five ain't that bad.
Other than that, I'd like to congratulate you on summing up
You forgot one point though:
11. Posts complaining about slashdot automatically getting modded down.

DELETE FROM `user` WHERE `username` LIKE 'Gu%en';
Wouldn't pigs re-entering Earth's atmosphere count as flying pigs, sort of?
On a tangent, maybe you should stop to consider how very nice and awesome it is to work at McDonalds or your average grocery store.
Now you tell me.. What's for dinner tonight?
Maybe they could disable the annoying DJ by default.
When you're on crack, everything's funny!
Or so I've heard.
One is Free, the other is easy to use.
I feel for you, who are probably working in an office without access to several printers and an unlocked supply-cabbinet.
Since when do big media companies learn from their mistakes?
You have the top post when browsing at +1 right now. You mention separate networks, and you FRIKKIN FAIL TO MENTION SKYNET?
What is WRONG with you?
No, you just missed the memo saying "Moderators are on crack this week.. and the next.. and the.."
I'll get someone to leave a copy of the memo on your desk - try not to lose it.
So I guess OEM installations don't count?
I mean, who buys computers with preloaded operating systems, drivers and productivity suites these days?
But this is OPEN SORES!
OF COURSE NOBODY WILL BOTHER COUNTING AVAILABLE MAINSTREAM OPERATING SYSTEMS.
Questions asked on slashdot have their own rules, much like the polls regularly conducted on the frontpage.
Which mainstream operating system is the most likely to be first when it comes to biometric authentication:
(*) Linux
( ) Hurd

Depends.
Leopards and lions aren't obsessed with hunting elephants just to get at their tusks.
When it's a matter of survival, rather than fetching a good price on the black market - let me know.

So what are you anti-anti-slash guys going to do?
Advocate the usage of dupes as a valid means of distributing information?
Applaud the lack of editing the... editors.. do?
Re-establish slashdot as THE website that doesn't conform to html standards?
Doom III was a very dark game, not something the bright people in Capitalist America would find entertaining.
