Looks like the/. crew decided to remove "itsatrap". Hopefully they got rid of fud/notfud too. And it would be nice to get rid of itsnotatrap. But unless an intelligent way to weed out bad tags is implemented (for example, appearing in too many stories in one day) then these problem will simply happen again with different tags. (May I suggest: fixtags, followed by linux, just to be odd). And I know this is offtopic, but where else can we voice our opinions on these issues?
According to the tags teabagging is a trap. That's good to know. (Ok,/. time to put away the tags, we now know for certain that your readers are sophmoric. What did you expect?)
Wikipedia is OK for most people on most subjects. However when you want information on a specialized topic it is better to find other sources. For example when I need to look up something about philosophy I go to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy whose articles are contributed by people with PhDs about their area of expertise. It also has copious references on each topic. Such a source will always be better than wikipedia, at least if you need the most accurate information.
Gee, by that logic I guess cigarettes aren't an addiction either, at least for most people. I'll go tell the tobacco companies that they're off the hook.
store it in a proprietary file system, and then don't let anyone know how it works for "trade secrets" reasons. (Or better yet, just make it a really bad file system design, such that the it is extremely likely for the data to be damaged "accidentally" by a few bad writes.)
Likewise in windows you can change the background color and text color of the BSOD (or at least you could uder 98, I haven't had the desire to play around with it under 2000 / XP since they crash much less frequently).
We can draw two possible conclusions from this. Either a: MS' security team was made of good people who were doing the best they could for such a large project with such a large user base and extensive backwards compatability, and thus that Windows security was the best it could have been (even if that wasn't so good). Or Mozilla's security is going to go down the tubes. It's a slashdot paradox! Clearly we can't grant #1, because that wouldn't be sufficiently critical of MS, but be can't grant #2 either because we love Mozilla. I'm just glad Mozilla doesn't think this way.
Got any evidence to back up that theory cowboy? Note: a plausible analogy or "seeming likely" are not hallmarks of a credible theory, especially when said theory conflicts with a study done by professionals.
Lets see how long it takes for slashdot readers to swing into full hypocrisy mode. Specifically mocking windows because it is vulnerable to users running insecure software in administrator mode when every other OS has the exact same vulnerability. Of course windows users do have the unfortunate tendency to run as administrators, but 1- that is blaming the software for the problems of the user, and 2- Vista might be running in user mode by default.
And no, before you ask, I am not a windows user, I am on a Mac PowerBook G4. I prefer the mac because it is easier to use and I am not a gamer, not because of some imagined speed or innate security edge over every possible windows product.

Word on the street is that the pope is catholic too, and that bears shit in the woods.

Dear sir, your ability to detect sarcasm seems to be impaired. Please see your local mechanic.

Better solution: download to an external drive, then hide that drive (give to friend) when the RIAA comes knocking.
That's a relief, I really don't think I was ready to handle all that spam.
If the summary answers its own questions why even bother posting comments? Except to be a smart-ass (like me).
Which surprises me since "paradigm" is such a common word in post-modernist babble.
Post-modernism is a series of buzzwords. So I guess then yes, Web 2.0 is post-modern. How sad.
I can't tell if you are serious (in which case I feel pity for you) or if you are brilliantly mocking the article.

Gentoo Seed Destiny?
You must have meant Rarely Seen Sites since Rarely Seen Websites is RSW not RSS
If it isn't DRMed to hell this could be great, for example one could make techno-remixes of professors, ect.
You mean the world isn't black and white? Damn it, I hate having to think!

But crappier infastructure + being a cultural outsider + far from american friends and family = lower quality of life

when one of the most competent charachters is black? And married to a white man? And no one has a problem with it?

And how is this different from Tor or Freenet?
