Journal Journal: Main stories with personal comments/questions = BAD 1

Journal by mahdi13 on Tuesday March 09, 2004 @10:18AM

I've been noticing more and more that a lot of the posts stories lately have either stunk of personal bias or the preview ends with a personal question from the submitter. Do we really need this?

I read Slashdot for the articles, the news stories and the peeks at future technology. NOT for some punk trying to be witty to hundreds of thousands of geeks. I read the feedback for that.

Journal Journal: Software "Sharing" 1

Journal by mahdi13 on Friday December 19, 2003 @01:31PM

Very often on Slashdot you see P2P stories and people arguing over the legitimacy of "sharing" software and music.
One of the biggest arguments is that it is a 'copy' of the original and it can not technically be called theft.

Theft: The wrongful taking of the property of another. It is a broad term and includes larceny, pilfering, hold-up, robbery and pick-pocketing.

Journal Journal: Linux is free as in freedom, not beer

Journal by mahdi13 on Friday September 19, 2003 @11:11AM
