Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Of course
It seems they never accept anything the first time it's submitted, unless it's an announcement of a point release in the kernel.

Naah, I'm not really bitter they rejected it when I sent it in. I've nearly stopped caring about /. since they upped the number of mod points.

Cripes, I just went and looked and it's very nearly the write-up I gave it. But now it's running unattributed. Cool.


[Edit]

What a bunch of tools. If you scan the replies at +5 the first half are all either jokes or absolutely dismissive. But if you chack the timestamps on them, they're all posted within a half-hour of the article going up. There's no way any of them read the whole thing in that time, much less followed the links you offered in support.

Yes, this is the other reason I've stopped caring much about /.

[Edit 2]

In update 6, I think you mean "overseas".

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

New Also note...
I believe that Microsoft long ago figured how to manipulate the slashdot moderation system.

Watch. In any discussion about something that is possibly IMPORTANT to Microsoft, there are a ton of similar posts that go to +5 fast.
