And as it turns out, that is not the case at all. Imagine that, a completely misleading summary on slashdot.

Summary says: :The US State Dept has started to warn potential recruits from universities not to read leaked cables,"

TFA says: Columbia University career services got a recommendation from an alumnus that if you want a job with the State Dept, he recommends
"you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter. Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government."

So,
(1) This is not official policy; it is an alumnus giving personal advice to undergrads at his alma mater.
(2) It has nothing to do with reading/not reading wikileaks.

I really have to spend less time reading /. summaries.

If it takes phone companies as long to eliminate phone books as it takes for Slashdot to get around to the topic of phone book elimination, the phone books should be safe for awhile. (e.g. New York)

Was the irony intended?

This is slashdot. What site were you looking for?

Meanwhile, free will, property rights, and individuality negate everything else when misapplied (and definitely when correctly applied too).

Everything is a tradeoff; that's life.

I'm just amazed that there's a court in the U.S. that doesn't subscribe to the opposite fundamentalist philosophy: sacrifice everything for the weakest. But given that one exists, I'm not surprised it's Texas.

If we ever meet in the 4th dimension, it will only be in passing...

It doesn't make sense to replace titanium with aluminum. Busted, mofo.

5 = 4.999999....

WTF?

If I see them publicly notice my death, I am going to be so pissed!

It ended in a 0-0 tie?

And here I thought this story was about patients having thin skin...

I found it more of an excursion into simple division.

Most typical lightning game: 1 0
Most typical blitz game: 3 0

3/1 = 3
331/24 ~= 14

Orders of magnitude off. So even the roughest of estimates suggests that lightning games wouldn't be the majority of games. Anyway, there's no need to even use my estimate, since I've now posted freechess's statistics elsewhere in this thread.

Blitz games outnumber lightning games about 5 to 1. (What a coincidence, 14:3 is on the rough order of 5:1.)

Ok, if 15% counts as "most", then you are right.

This is what I get for posting in a chess thread.

Most? I'm logged in right now:

Lightning games in progress: 24
Blitz games in progress: 331
Total in progress: 473
