Duh!

I'd be able to see the demo!

Medine..?

Nice to know that the editors are doing their job.

I looked at the README and cringed. These are really top-notch scientists, though they can't even get their (b)its and (B)ytes correct.

Going by what they said, the setup had 8GB RAM with 812.5GB of disk.

I hope that they don't mix up other measurements like this!

Damn it. I thought I was logged in.

Isn't this funny.

In some way, I hope this thread has helped contribute to the site.

Thanks for your feedback and views. It's been much appreciated.

Hear, hear!

If the editors did this it would make it less of an incentive for submitters (read: advertisers) to throw such 'articles' at us.

But then again, would Slashdot suddenly lose a certain amount of the submission base if the advertisers weren't able to get their jollies?

No, let me do that for you. I wouldn't want you to assume things that weren't really there.

i. Sarcastic reference about the submission style compared to 'Ask Slashdot' (a very worthy section). Inference: I don't expect to be told anything on this website as if I was a child. I do expect to find valuable content which is new and matters.
ii. Sarcastic reference to the Slashdot tagline, then a statement about the article not having any valuable content - plus that I could find this out quite trivially at Wikipedia.
iii. Yet more sarcasm (surprise!).

Nothing at all has been suggested about the intellect of Slashdot readers or where they should go.
Also, have you looked at nearly all of the other comments against this submission? I suggest you do that before replying. You will see that I am not alone with my views.

Do you have eyes but fail to see?

Yes, it's on idle.slashdot.org - but this isn't news in any sense of the word.

Just because it's from another computing website and the submitter has put other (dubious) articles through, it shouldn't mean that more drivel is allowed in as well.

Please, come on. Have you seen how many comments against this story that are saying that there is nothing to read in TFA? It was not written by an expert.

If an expert in the field had actually spent the time to go through all of the logos and tell me the ins-and-outs of what they actually mean or had provided a chart with break-down logo-by-logo.. then that would be good on Slashdot, and I would appreciate it.

The only assumption I made was that this was a news site - hence the tongue-in-cheek "Tell Slashdot" title in reference to 'Ask Slashdot'. Do you get it?

Throwing insults around and using capitals is a very intelligent way to put your point across. Thankyou.

Wow. Thankyou AC for the whoosh sound I just heard.

If I wanted stuff that didn't matter, I would go to Digg.
