Toss it. The reason those submitters earn their reputation is because you haven't killed his or her stories before. You need some kind of editorial policy where all your editors share the same basic guidelines for what to approve and what not to, and this should include a corpus of "known troublemakers".
I think you missed the boat on what CmdTaco was trying to say. Even though Rolland or Beatles Beatles may submit a horendous amount of articles, whats to say that this is bad? I would bet you that at least 90% or more of these articles go into the trashbin. Also, your label of "known truoublemakers" is naively defined as someone who submits a lot. I don't think submitting tons of articles is a crime. Heck, even Rolland or BB aren't on the Most Active Submitters Hall of Fame These "troublemakers" as you call them do their job of creating articles, along with the thousands of other people who submit articles each week.
Just so you know, this site is being hosted by the schools own server. wellington.org is on the IP address 205.182.87.5,
which lies in an ip block owned by "the wellington school". I sure hope to god they have an up-to-date server they have in the school's backoffice, or it will be toast tomarrow!
He might well be promoting his site, but his articles don't come in every single day. If someone writes enough good articles and submits them regularly, who is to say that he can't?
"If we wait until things are totally tested and analyzed in animals, it will deny some people treatment"
This kind of thinking does actually make sense in some specific cases. If you take a look at the history of Lorenzo's Oil, (or if you have seen the movie), it tells about how the father of a boy found a treatment for a disease (ALD in this case), and he started the treatment right away on his boy. ALD is a degenerative disorder that eventually kills its victims within 2-3 years of diagnosis. This father's treatment worked so well in stopping the disease that the medical community decided to start human trials right away, and it has saved literally thousands of lives already. If they had gone the usual method of rat testing, than maybe humans several years later, many ALD victims would have died by that time.
From the article: "If you've developed a treatment that might be beneficial in, say, motor neurone disease, then it's reasonable to allow people who are in the last stage of the disease to offer themselves. It sounds like they're being used as guinea pigs but sometimes people with a terminal illness volunteer to be used as guinea pigs if it will advance medical treatment for others," he said.
Just as with the ALD case, there are people out there with fatal diseases who do not have time to live to wait for some clinical trial ten years away. Assuming the treatment is as effective a Lorenzo's Oil and obvious, I say people should have a choice when it comes to these trials. Obviously there must be some safeguard againt fraud biotech/pharmo companies who make crap treatments. But even with the threat of these charlatans, there are many treatments out there with the advent of Stem cells that are sitting in petri dishes in labs around the world. Many of these treatments have yielded very promising results, and if terminally ill people had a chance to try these promising ones, good treatments that would otherwise have to wait for a decade or two could come to light much more quickly.
This freakshow of a power-supply is IMO useless in any real-world scenario
Unless, that is if you have your own server rack in your basement. THEN it does come in handy. But you are correct, this kind of thing is definitally overkill for even the totally suped-up computers
'In the current computing world, where more always equals "better than" the 1KW is king.'"
1KW? Pfffft, and you think thats Ub3r 133t? Check out my super-duper(tm) Cisco Systems 4200 WACV4.2KW powerhouse. This baby whoups any powersupply anyday, anywheres, anytime.
www.funnyfox.org has been around for several months now, and offers 3 short funny clips advertising Firefox. They're flash videos right now, but could easily be adapted for the TV.
Or they could release a "patch" mascarading as "very critical flaw" that would do absolutely nothing to you and me, but would monkey with EU-govn't computers to make it show that the fine was "paid".
The usage of BPL is inherently going to cause signal noise around the 30 MHz range, where quite a bit of ameteur radio is found. The BPL technology is routing signals over an UNSHIELDED wire, which unlike telephone cable, radiates the signal outwards. This means that the signal will be leaked into the airwaves and, if there is enough concentration of the signals, will disrupt or all togeather drown out any ameteur radio broadcasts.
To me, it seems like their stance on not encrypting passwords is a backwards. Having a non-encrypted passwords policy does not make sense to me, as it leaves things wide open.
Rember our friends priceritephoto.com? They are a full fledged eBay dealer. Though not as obvious as most other eBay scams, fraud companies like them are operating on eBay.
Its simply amazing how what can be considered today as antique technology that would be sitting in some electronics museum to a "hip" new product. As Old Skewl goes, this is pretty geeky!
The company suggests, for instance, that companies shouldn't always notify consumers of data breaches because they may be unnecessarily alarming people who stand little chance of being victimized."
Well, 250 informed consumers is much, much better then 250 uninformed consumers who don't know their identity was stolen until their credit card bill comes in.

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight [/singing]
I can hear the server thanking its lucky stars that the direct link was to a static text-only page.

You could say the heck with it all, join the Amish community and say the electron doesn't exist.
Well, Mao did try The Great Leap Forward, but as expected, it was a great step backward.

At first I thought maybe they were going to sue them for stealing one of the variations on the name "Vista".

Um...I should have made that in the past tense. They Were a full fledged eBay scam, now their just a dead link :)

It has been known for some time that google registered gbroswer.com. Could this simply be the beginning of the Google Browser?

My, that's a big population you have there, Europe! How did you get so big?
Linux my friend is also Open Source, but is probably one of the most bug-screened OSS projects out there. It is far from bugged-out.
