You quoted me the rules as of NOW. Look up the date which that rule was implemented for IAMA please. Then look up the date of my original post in said forum please.
I AM A Same user name as Slashdot. I wasn't banned by mods, rather lynched by the mob. That is, could no longer stay. Actions I took - I requested help from the moderators - who didn't even reply to the request.
Just over a year ago, I posted (by request) some truths - was quickly lynched by several thousand users, branded a liar and a troll and forced out of the community.
Reddit users had just redefined the truth in their own image.
The dangers of community driven information - be it reddit or wikipedia.
Congratulations CSIRO - you are either one hell of a mouse, or just joining in the fun that Apple, Google, Microsoft and every other damned tech company is having. Either way - I don't see what the problem is.
Oh - by the way, given my government is getting the money - I am a touch biased:)
After all - existing screens aren't that shiny until they put TruBright(TM) or Ultrabright(TM) or AmazaView(TM) or BlindUView(TM) coating of crap on them.
I've had this issue with Facebook for ages (i've cleared my Facebook account over a year ago, and logged out) - I visit a site I've never been to before and it goes "Welcome "... where the name is the name I have on my Facebook account.
1. If I ever invent something original, I wont own it - because I can't afford to patent it. 2. If someone actually has some world shattering amazing break through which could change the world - but they are not wealthy, that secret will go to the grave with them.
Go innovation... yippie.
PS: I fit into both categories, and I'm taking the goods to the grave.
Slashdot Mirror
We could say "Meet the Food of the Future".
... and leave the law to the authorities.
Mmmmk?
Looks like an exercise in OCD, not in design.
Getting the vowels to line up has little use in written language, but it might make an OCD a touch less stressed.
When you have +2000 over a week, then -4000 in one day, it is hard to imagine it has anything to do with what I'm saying.
I am just not that important.
.. and you guessed it.

Then you come back with YOUR burden of proof.
Burden of proof for an opinion ?
I was merely posting how I lived with a condition diagnosed by doctors.
So if I am the one that has a burden of proof, I assume you mean that the people calling me a liar do not need any proof ?
Again - if this is the case, it is indeed a problem.
There in lies the problem.
When those telling the truth are tarred with the same brush as those who are trolls, liars and the like - then there is a problem.
In my case - I was merely posting about my experiences with a disease that I have.
I AM A
Same user name as Slashdot.
I wasn't banned by mods, rather lynched by the mob. That is, could no longer stay.
Actions I took - I requested help from the moderators - who didn't even reply to the request.
I was diagnosed with a condition, and was asked to post about how it was to have it.
That is the reason Reddit picked up on it.

Talking contradictions, I would have thought that making cuts in power draw to avoid shortages - has not avoided a shortage, rather just accepted it ?
The US doesn't currently have a system of government, so anything useful that can come from this complete breakdown of government ... seems good to me.
Damn - a transformer got in the way of my post.
That should be Megaton and WTFaton ...
I think the 'heaviest' particle should be deemed the Megatron, in keeping with the WTFatron naming convention.
TVs with DVI ports... all round.
720p and 1080p - may have improved TV quality, but locked monitors into decade old resolutions.
... and web pages are getting narrower.
and while we are at it, why are 27" monitors the same resolution as 14" laptop screens?
and why is the highest resolution device easily available a 10.7" iPad ?
The world makes no sense to me.
... when the mouse bites its arse.

I have a computational linguistics invention ...and have had for around 15 years now.
I'm NOT ALLOWED to publish as I don't hold qualifications, nor do I have the wealth to patent it.
Believe me - getting ideas to the public is way more complicated than you may imagine if you don't have money.
The Australian economy is far from down the crapper ... this isn't the US or Europe over here.
The GFC barely even scratched us.
I've had this issue with Facebook for ages (i've cleared my Facebook account over a year ago, and logged out) - I visit a site I've never been to before and it goes "Welcome " ... where the name is the name I have on my Facebook account.
... and midday at 2am ?
So when the hell is noon ?
And yes... that 2 year warranty on the software lasts as long in Australia as it does in the US.
All the way until you take delivery.
Paying twice the price for Dreamweaver download in AU vs US ... no excuses make that right.
Not an issue for me... some how I got the upgraded bug fixes for free, no idea how that happened.
