Slashdot Is Worthless

Slashdot Is Worthless 01/07/2003 09:53 PM
There. I said it. Slashdot is worthless. OK, I'll admit that the headlines are useful, but the comments certainly are not. The sad thing about Slashdot is that there are still people posting useful and interesting comments, and they're utterly and completely lost among the utter crap that floods the site. Generally I make do by simply ignoring the comments section on Slashdot entirely, but after reading the comments on the Jhai PC yesterday, I realized that the comments section is not just worthless but actually a malign force. -- rafeco

I see it slightly differently. Slashdot is great as a black hole for all the stupid comments you have kept deep down inside you, a place you can let go of all your shit. Just like this weblog!

Slashdot: The Hardened-PHP Project 05/17/2004 02:44 AM
Stefan Esser is the author of the Hardened PHP project. Reading through the feature-list, i cannot help but feel that some of these features should have been rolled into PHP's standard safe-mode. Implementing it as a set of patches just means a lot more work for everyone, particularly the maintainer.

Some of the responses to this post were quite interesting. Among other things, PHP appears to be a great programming tool for Porn.

RSS abuse and Slashdot IP banning

RSS abuse and Slashdot IP banning 05/12/2004 03:50 PM

I've had a number of people ask me about t his blog entry, whose title suggests that FeedDemon was banned from Slashdot. If you read the entire entry you'll find out that the subject is misleading - it's really about how Slashdot tries to protect itself from people who make too many requests on their feed.

Given the un necessary bandwidth consumption caused by some RSS readers, Slashdot certainly has every right to try to protect themselves from RSS abuse. The problem is that they ban based on IP address - which obviously causes problems for those behind a proxy server that shares a single IP address with dozens of other users. In all fairness, though, I'm not sure of a better solution to Slashdot's valid concerns.

Anyway...since some who read the aforementioned article thought it might be due to a problem in FeedDemon, I just wanted to make it clear that this will happen regardless of which RSS reader you use if you're behind an IP-sharing proxy. As I pointed out in an earlier post, FeedDemon employs a number of techniques to keep bandwidth consumption to a minimum - which not only keeps it 'Net-friendly, but also makes it extremely fast since it doesn't waste time performing unnecessary updates.

Slashdot Trolling Defined

Slashdot Trolling Defined 01/16/2004 11:33 AM

Slashdot trolling phenomena: Here's an example of awesomeness of Wikipedia combined with some pretty interesting reading. It's several thousand words on the trolling of Slashdot comments.

The Slashdot trolling phenomena make up a bizarre and complex subculture found on the popular Slashdot technology website. It is a mixture of juvenilia, sarcasm, deliberately bad jokes, tasteless nonsense and highly developed and artistic attempts to provoke outraged responses from other forum users, or amuse them. It is a subset and a microcosm of Internet trolling in general.

Legal uses for P2P catalogued on
Slashdot 12/27/2004 10:38 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Supreme Court have agreed to hear the appeal on Grokster v MGM, the court case that EFF won, legalizing P2P networks. To help save the Internet's bacon, Slashdot users have clubbed together to catalog noninfringing uses for P2P networks.

Durring the beginning of the Iraq war, I used P2P to get video and pictures that were censored from the US. The instant I hear about pictures, recordings, etc. on another network they can't show in the US, I go find them on P2P. Along with that search, I also found pictures that solders had taken along the way. Then I found gunship video (de-classified and classified because it had altitude/other readings) showing people walking into a building. The order came, and they leveled the building. Then started firing on anyone leaving the scene. You could actually see the men get thrown around after getting hit with munitions. On, and this video just happened to show one man running into a mosque so he was let go. (sure it wasn't leaked on purpose)

Slashdot Commentors on SuprNova

Slashdot Commentors on SuprNova 12/22/2004 01:03 AM

Following up on Torrent Shutdowns: Slashdot has posted a bit on Sup rNova being shutdown. What I found interesting were the comments: they are generally very anti-SuprNova, very pro-copyright. An example:

Furthermore, this is exactly what should be happening: the government attacks those who break the law, rather than those who create the tools. Bit torrent and p2p applications have legal, useful purposes; by seeking those who use them in illegal ways rather than banning them altogther is appropriate, rather than trying to ban them.

I find this odd (notice I said "odd," not "wrong") for a site like Slashdot.

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation. Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version. Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I don't have a clue there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.

Slashdot troll speaks

Slashdot troll speaks 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
Tom Coates has been discussing technical tricks for coping with message-board trolls on his Everything in Moderation blog, and, surpisingly, an avowed Slashdot troll has shown up to explain why he undertakes extreme technical measures to disrupt Slashdot's message baords.

...i believe that the people who must be treated with the most public, forthright, and open methods of censure are those who offend us the most. i do not believe that trickery is ever as effective as open methods because trickery is, at its core, dishonest to both the person being tricked and the online community you have secretly enacted policy for.

i believe that secret punishments inevitably lead to abuse and combativeness, that they lead to an arms race against people of equal intelligence and unlimited free time.

This comic served as an introduction to the Invasion of Theed role-playing game. When I posted the original story, I mentioned that I didn't yet have this particular comic for my own collection (the original scans came from one of our old news reports.) Well, I was soon contacted by Daniel Veesenmeyer himself, who not only hooked me up with a copy of the comic, but he even autographed it for me! A new scan of the cover is above, and I've added it to our gallery for The Phantom Menace, when the game takes place. Just goes to show how the Force brings us together.
