No one happens to know of a way to take ownership of posts you mistakenly posted anonymously?
Naw, and probably won't happen. Too many people who are afraid of posting something that might not fit in with what ever group think they "think" is happening on/.
You know those "I'm posting AC because I can't speak my mind otherwise because I would get modded down one point." morons. They would just post AC, see how it panned out, then if it didn't work out they would leave it be, but if it got modded positively they would try to reclaim ownership.
That is a very good question, all I did was ask the same question many others had, I really didn't add to the discussion, but it did spawn some useful information.
shimage and instagib deserve more mod points than I do.

I'd like that also, but I imagine a lot of the changes with Google search results is due to spammers trying to game the system, and Google trying to fight them.
Curious though, what would you prefer to point # 4? What do you expect the wheel to do when you scroll it on a map? It's not like you can scroll sideways.
Marketing Marketing Marketing, where the real money from the movie is made!
I was going to post a response agreeing with you, but the more I think on it, well....
Marketing subsidizes my entertainment choices, considering how much Geico spends on advertising I think basic cable would collapse if Geico stopped advertising.
Marketing also helps the company I'm at. Our marketing consists of our catalog and website with our products and pricing. Without that how would our customers know what to buy from us? Some level of marketing is necessary.
Also, the marketing department where I work is full of some real cool people who do indeed like people.
"Something like allowing 3 mod points per day for any established user would be nice. I'd also like for a downvote to cost 3 mod points, to help reduce groupthink."
Not sure about you but I get mod points at 15 points a whack, sometimes twice a week.
"The problem is that you can't post and mod. That alone encourages downmodding, because you can't upmod a post in one thread and then reply with your criticism in another."
I'm sorry, you are not making sense, so rather than mod you down I am replying to you.
There is no "this is just plain wrong" option for a reason, because you need to post and explain why it is wrong. If you can't reply and state why it is wrong, then don't mod it.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like a piece of trivia a nerd might tell me.
Have you thought about submitting that story? Cause it sure beats the topic at hand.
What if it felt it was unappreciated and decided to leave (or at least to leave France)?
They'll just build more nuclear power plants.

Yes, but now with the right equipment we can cheat at it!

How about a Google Classic page, just the little friendly box that we type our queries into, hit enter, and get our results. Nothing else.
If you don't want people using the USB ports on your computers, why do you your computers have functioning USB ports?
Gotta have the USB ports functioning due to the lack of PS-2 connections on new motherboards and computers.
From the GP's sig.
What good is a police state if I cant rant online about it!
Was just riffing off of his sig, but it is a valid argument if you take it that way.
It's a prototype that is using common desert sand, it's not meant to be practical at this point.
I wonder what he'll be able to put out using higher quality sand with the current design.
What good is an eco-system if we can't exploit it?
How about the ankle bracelets that they use for people who are under house arrest? Those suckers are pretty hard to get off.
Tesla also keeps a log of driving behavior for the same reasons don't they? So, prior-art?

Same as any other spying. The end game is to know before hand who will win a battle.
Guess I should have clicked on their links before replying to yours.
Oh well.
Not wind, Solar.
Your linked article is about wind turbines, not solar power plants.
I kinda doubt that bats will get cooked by the solar arrays since they tend to only come out at night.

"Read the FAQ"
I have, it's quite a good read actually. It's nice that they included why the moderation system is as it is and what was attempted before.
This is fucking stupid.
Are we discussing the education system or are we discussing set top boxes?
These are two completely different topics and should not be merged like this.

There is no "this is just plain wrong" option for a reason, because you need to post and explain why it is wrong. If you can't reply and state why it is wrong, then don't mod it.
That is one way it was promoted at first. Buy one for yourself and one gets donated.
It didn't do too well, would be best for them to just plain sell them on the open market at a decent price point.
Last I knew paying your court fines was not tax deductible.
