Did you even read the page you linked? Wikipedia's notability policy is simply "A thing is notable if and only if you can provide citations that make us think you're not just making shit up." The requirements of the journalism assignment were explicitly that the articles should be well researched, so if a student produces an article that doesn't satisfy that policy, they should fail the class.
Sure, somebody might keep track of you on the internet for six months and steal your TV. Somebody could also drive by your house every so often and do the same thing. Is it worth it to censor your entire life to cower from burglers? Life is hard, take some risks and have some fun. Social networking is fun. You can buy a new TV, you can't buy back having wasted your life hiding.
It's actually easy to do both of those things with a no-feedback arm. You might not be able to cause the insides of the egg to go where you want, but you can certainly crack it.:p
A post complaining about slashdot cliche about complaining about the article that is an obvious lead in for somebody to post a complaint about the cliche about complaining about cliches causing a recursive thread that spirals into infinity or at least far enough that a lot of people have wasted a lot of time?
I don't even think such a thing is possible on slashdot!
Well, first of all, "ARRHGHGHGHGHGHHHHH the tinfoil hat, it BURRRNNSSS", and
Secondly, if we raised the barrier of entry to the internet to require programing certifications, we would not need to worry about the worms and virii, because anybody worth their certification would have far less of a likelyhood of having a problem with such things, and the virii would have much less shelter to propigate from.
Third, how are you going to make it that only licensed people are allowed to program? Seize the computer of anybody who tries to write a program? Make compilers and assemblers highly contraband and only allow liscensed individuals have them? Shut down internet based tutorials for programing languages because they are not officaly approved by the certification body, and we cant allow people to learn basic programming on their own? Fourth, what the hell good would educating bus passengers do? Educated computer users ARE better at avoiding worms and virii, are educated bus passengers gonna be better at preventing crashes? I would like to know how that works. Using an electrical outlet to plug in a electronic device is nowhere near what an electrician is supposed to train for, and knowing not to click on the "PUNCH TEH MONKEY AND WIN $999999999 $$$$$ DOLLLARS!!!!" flash ads, is nothing near coding.
Your post frightens me severly, and I sincerely hope that this is not a majority opinion.
Well, reading over the linked definitons of geek and nerd, that is not a requirement.
If you either bite the heads off live chickens, are a character in a Dr. Seuss book, or a ventriliquist dummy then you are capable of being a geek and/or nerd without ever having seen a computer in your life.

Sure they can. It's called "fire".

In Brood War, the Dark Archons could capture units (including building building units), but that's it. There is no way to capture buildings directly.
I strongly agree. It's nonsense to rip someone apart for asking a legitimate question in a relevant place in order to gain knowledge...
I'm sorry, it's gotta be butterflies. There just isn't any other way.

OMG TEH HYPOCRACY!!!
That is almost as good as the MPAA illegaly distributing movies.
Not only did it crash, but it locked up my entire box. Fedora Core 4, Firefox 1.5, MPlayer media plugin.
Had to kill the power to get it to respond, couldn't even shell into it.
Just edit the article so that it was correct?

The fun stuff is hidden behind the package managers? I assume you mean installing from source?
Nothing is stoping you from downloading a source tarball and installing it the same way you would in slackware, in fedora.
If you mean a self installing binary, If those are avalible for slackware, you can use them the same way in fedora.
An ability to do things differently is not a bad thing, when the other method is still available.
If that is what IT is, then since CS Majors can do more that play solitare with a computer, then they would be qualified for that silly buzzword!
Make up your mind!!!
