Umm, hello, they play the xbox. Without the "web server" they can't do that anymore.

But at least this will give them a chance to talk to the media, where they can work in the complaint that no one seems to want to hire philosophy students (the only know job seems to become philosophy teachers).

I had a look at the settings, you can specify how important you think stories from each section are, except idle. (The settings are on http://slashdot.org/help [slashdot.org] -- choose 'Sections'.)

I don't mind Idle but I agree that there should be a way to filter it from the main page like all the other sections. Seems absolutely ridiculous that there isn't.

I specifically complained about kdawson and the drivel that he posts but CmdrTaco defended him by saying that he (CmdrTaco) though that he (kdawson) did 'a pretty good job' as an editor.
Really, at that point, I realized that there is nothing that anyone can do. I mean, if you can defend kdawson's editing and story submission quality, then I guess you can defend anything.
I don't know how long the average user lasts on Slashdot before getting fed up and moving on; the first 5 years I read Slashdot it steadily improved in quality but the last 5 years have been all downhill. I'm really starting to reach my limit of tolerance for it. Many days I say to myself, "that's it, I'm not reading Slashdot at all anymore", but old habits die hard and I keep coming back.

I used to send corrections to them -- typos, dupes, factual errors, and such. About half the time they did then fix them. But Taco was very bitchy and unappreciative about it. I realised I was just being an unpaid proofreader for lazy jerks who didn't give a shit, so I gave up. Now I just ignore their errors or snark about them in the comments.

Gods, people, get a grip. If a story doesn't interest you, DON'T FREAKING CLICK ON IT. Duhh. It's not rocket science.
This is the same attitude that people have when they want to ban/censor TV shows and video games they don't like.
If you don't like it, ignore it.

Many fairy tales emphasize the importance of not messing with things you don't understand and not taking other people's possessions.
