The focus on Murdock indicates that almost all are either too dumb/lazy to RTFA or so biased that they focus only on someone whose opinions they disagree with.
Given that this is Slashdot, I would definitely go with the first explanation. RTFA? Who the fchk RTFAs? And btw. AP got it's share of love from Slashdot in the past, when they started sending out DMCA take down damands to bloggers who quotes AP stories even though it was a fair use.
And most likely, this paper was never peer reviewed before accepting it to the conference.
I tried to find out some info about CSSE, and apparently the 2008 conference was the first conference ever. This conference takes place in China, and even though it calls itself an "international conference", it is not very international, and most presenters are either from china or a neighboring country.
Furthermore, it has a very wide list of subjects, too wide
My guess is: this conference was either not reviewed at all, or its review process was a joke and everything got accepted (probably less submissions than what they expected). I've looked at the paper and it is sufficient to read the abstract in order to understand this paper is a fake.
