So, in short: Slashdot wants Slashdotters to foam at the mouth so they get more pageviews. Pretty common tactic.
Huh. I'm not foaming, and I learned something from/. today. Call me stupid, but I didn't know the process for going after a malicious poster of Wikipedia entries...
It sounds like the approach of this team is slightly different. They are looking (and have potentially) found a damaging side effect of autism, regardless of its origin in the person, and are not looking for the cause or causes.
So if there is a common side effect (just as there is are common symptoms, again, regardless of the origin), perhaps there can be a common compensatory therapy. So, while I understand your pessimism, I'm wondering if their approach might actually help some (but probably not all) cases.

You're entering a gray area. You can't just say if the patient publicly criticizes the doctor, the patient's privacy WRT to medical records goes out the window. What if, say, the patient has AIDS? While that might be an extreme case, where does one draw the line?
In response to her public campaign, his recourse was to sue the patient, and a ruling was made. While you or I might not agree with the ruling, I think your suggestion is dangerous.
vi is the basis/root of so much of what is out there. The obvious/popular one is the quick search mechanism in FF. I'll leave it as an exercise to the user to come up with programming examples.:-)
That being said, I wonder if it's worth it for newbies to learn it...
Your question remind me of a case where a burglar sued the homeowner who left a ladder out up to a window of the home: The burglar went up the ladder, the ladder fell, and the burglar got injured...
To paraphrase Ish from The End, "It depends on how you look/interpret at it/the law."
Stupidity/ignorance is not the issue here. If I leave my apartment door open, it's still against the law for anyone to come in and take my things. Is leaving an AP open and someone taking my bandwidth analogous to leaving my apartment door open? If someone takes something, I surely won't get compensated by my insurance company, but the person who took something still committed a crime.
But beyond the law, is leaving an AP open really an invitation for anyone to use it? I don't see it that way, unless the network is named "Free Bandwidth" or something like that. With an AP, it's easier to make a mistake and hop on than it is to go into the wrong apartment, so intent is probably a factor.
As your punishment, you should write some kind of data-mining algorithm that starts from the point you disabled threading and try to construct intelligent threads based on the subject and the body of comments...
SIDS is virtually unheard of in countries where the parents sleep with their infants. I hope that the treatment consists of telling the parents to put the child in their bed as opposed to some kind of drug therapy...
The bot issue is orthogonal to AI research WRT hold'em at this point. The theory behind deploying bots is playing 'solid' poker in low-stakes games (since that's where the 'bad' players are), winning pennies or small bucks per hour, and massively scaling up. The AI angle is, of course, more intriguing against 'good' players.
There is, believe it or not, a sound foundation for it: simply, gambling (and other 'evils' such as alcohol) potentially leads to the degeneration of society in general. Case in point: have you been to Atlantic City lately? Is it some place YOU'D like to live? But whether or not you agree that some governing body should 'babysit' us is the question. Should the government be obligated to 'protect' Atlantic City residents from the demise of the city? Do these people really have a choice to live there?
Even as I write this, I know I sound...well...compromised, but it is about relative right and wrong in some school systems. Ever witness what goes on in some public schools these days? In some cases, it is figuratively an urban combat zone. And while cell phone searches do not get to the root of the problem, the root is too deep to attack. I know this attitude sounds defeatist, but anyone who is disdainful of this remark is welcome to study the problem and come up with a solution.

Kids??? Figures that you're a UC as opposed to a dedicated /. subscriber...
RTFA? WTF??? My original title for the post was "Possibly convert all transfusion blood Type O" so he/she wouldn't have to RTFA...
IMHO, the more interesting thing is whether or not they up the attachment max. Otherwise, it's a bunch of lip service...
Old news. Move on. These companies and others have been offering them for years. And they run Linux...

Actually (even better for /.ers wet dreams), Pamela is really Pamela Anderson...
She was really Anna Nicole Smith...
I'm not saying she doesn't exist, but her having a wikipedia page doesn't prove anything to me.
I fail to see the logic...

I wish that /. would build in vi so I could use it to write this f'ing comment!
Man, we must be getting old...

What do you mean, nowadays? What do you think advanced printing press technology further, the Bible or PR0N?

Most of the issues with the browser started after that.
