You said: "...but on a larger scale, it only draws attention to the posts that happen to get rated high..."
The answer IMO, is to default everything to a 10 out of 10, and then filter things down.Don't consider everything junk unless rated high. Instead, consider everything great, unless rated down.And this should work, because: a)There would be a lot of people rating. b)If you rate down a user's selection, you rate down ALL his/her selections on that category.
BTW, IMO, there shouldn't be URLS/article ids rated, but rather persons.(Authenticated with unique encrypted ids.) So you wouldn't have to say: "I like/dislike www.somewhere.there", but rather: "I like/dislike user X's selections about the category, ie., politics/economics". That way there can also be formed groups of people with same interests.Take notice, that I say "interests" and not "views", because mayby I don't agree with user Y about politics/economics, but I find his ideas interesting, and so I want to read what s/he has to say.
Finally, I think that the most difficult part will be to come up with these categories. I mean, is it politics/economics, or economics/politics, or ever economics/applied? (For a practical experiment, have you ever tried to locate a not-so-obvious setting in a submenu of a submenu of a submenu, ad infinitum, of emacs?(Thank God for apropos))
Thank you for posting this.Following what you said,I managed to install 2.2.1 I just have a Q: I had done exctly the same myself,except from the linuxconf part.(I had copied bzImage to/boot,and added the extra info to/etc/lilo.conf.) The only difference,as far as I can see,is that i didn't rename bzImage to vmlinuz-2.2.1.But why did that do any difference??? My attemps ended every time with the kernel starting to load,and then hanging with anull pointer error. Anyways,once again,THANKS:)

They say linux is 5-10% of all computers? Now the number is *much* bigger. Think about this.It's great news for linux.

Why don't all geeks unite,go/buy a remote island,

declare independance,and make their own laws?(eg.
free bandwidth/cryptography/whatever for all?)
