Slashdot doesn't edit stories anymore. The actual editors are lazy people who just post up whatever is submitted to them. Countless times there have been submissions in the firehose with many comments about the inaccuracies of the submitted story yet nothing is ever done. Even when simple spelling and grammar mistakes are pointed out they are never fixed.

And no matter how many times this gets said, no matter how many people say it, Slashdot keeps going downhill fast.

Maybe someone should submit a story about how horrible slashdot's editors are at correcting inaccuracies, spelling/grammare mistakes, and generally how they prefer submissions that are overly dramatic and exaggerations of the facts just for more clicks. Slashdot is just a clickbait website now that only cares about its ad revenue. And that means it will continue to post inaccurate and misleading stories, written poorly, and nothing will be done about it. Because it brings in money and money is the only thing that matters to slashdot these days. They could prove me wrong by generally doing their fucking jobs as editors but thats never going to happen.

There was an article from 2010 that talked about the theoretical limit to laser beam energy. From the article:

"At high laser intensities interaction of the created electron and positron with the laser field can lead to production of multiple new particles and thus to formation of an avalanche-like electromagnetic cascade"

Here's the link to the article in question: http://physicsbuzz.physicscent...

That article was ultimately using this article as a source.

One time at a normal family outing to D&B's my sister had a problem with the photo booth which required an employee come and restart the machine. As it booted up I saw something very familiar, it was a grub boot screen with a fedora core 2 OS selectable on-screen.
