Slashdot Asks: The Beanies Return; Who Deserves Recognition for 2014? 299
It's been a long time since Slashdot has awarded the Beanies -- nearly 15 years, in fact. But there's no time like the present, especially since tomorrow edges on the new year, and in early 2015 we'd like to offer a Beanie once again, to recognize and honor your favorite person, people (or project; keep reading) of the past year. Rather than a fine-grained list of categories like in 2000, though, this time around we're keeping it simple: we can always complicate things later, if warranted. So, please nominate below whoever you think most deserves kudos for the last twelve months. Is it ...
A few guidelines to make this work:
- Edward Snowden, for the impact his leaks (though they began in 2013) have continued to make? (Or William Binney, for similar reasons?)
- Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzay, who fought a difficult battle for children's right to an education?
- Telescope popularizer John Dobson, who died earlier this year at the age of 98, after bringing space a little more down to earth for many thousands of people?
- May-Britt Moser, her husband Edvard Moser, and John O'Keefe for their discoveries about how the brain navigates through the world?
- Eben Upton, whose little educational hardware project has bloomed into millions and millions of cheap, hackable Linux computers?
- How about Maryam Mirazkhani, the first woman to become a Fields medalist?
- Theo de Raadt, who stepped in with replacement project LibreSSL soon after cracks appeared in OpenSSL, and who's been helming the OpenBSD project since 1995?
- The ESA team that landed a probe on a comet, or the ISRO engineers who managed to send a probe to Mars on a shoestring budget?
- Anita Sarkeesian, for helping draw attention to undue harassment faced by women in the video game world?
- Someone relatively quiet or obscure who's nonetheless made the world better through some kind of interesting innovation or contribution?
Read on below to see how you can take part, and then nominate your favorite in the comments below.
- Please use the title of your post well; in the form "Name: Description of why they're deserving." (Example: "Harold Ramis: Goodbye, and thanks for all the laughs.") That way, your title can help organize the discussion, and will be easy to scan for. (That's how we'll look to credit the first one to suggest a candidate, as well.)
- Speaking of which: please scan the other suggestions first; if you find there one you'd like to argue for or against, better to do it there, rather than start a new thread.
- Please name an actual person, or a specific group of people, so we can send your choice -- or a representative, as appropriate -- some kind of token (to wit, a beanie). But be as creative as you want: the names listed above are just starting points.
- Explain why your choice deserves to be lauded, with links and words; underrated heroes are welcome. If there's a relevant Slashdot story to link to, so much the better, but it's no requirement. Make it clear why your favorite deserves recognition for 2014, even if it's for contributions that started longer ago. Feel free to nominate yourself, but the same guidelines apply.
- Accentuate the positive. We figure beanies sent to Keith Alexander, John Brennan, or Kim Jong Un won't get worn very often. Maybe there can be some anti-Beanies down the road, but for now, name the good guys, of whatever variety.
- You need not be logged in to take part -- anonymous entries are welcome. However, because of comment thresholds, among other reasons, logged in comments may carry more weight.
We'll winnow down the suggestions below into a short list for further consideration -- and perhaps toss in a few more options to boot -- and aim to come up with a deserving new Beanie recipient (possibly more than one) before the first new moon of 2015.
Submit away.

The man even had a tattoo of the Rosetta landing needled onto his leg back in January! And garish casual shirts of all kinds are part of his everyday wardrobe. Matt Taylor could be a character in ''The Big Bang Theory.''
And part of Science Nerd culture seems to be that if your brain is big enough, it's OK for you to dress for every single occasion as though you were pondering the theory of relativity while walking your dog. So Matt Taylor donned completely inappropriate wear -- inappropriate because a scientist ought to dress professionally when presenting his work to the public, which is not the same as messing around in a lab.

You know, the overboard notions in your third statement indicate that you are intending a sarcastic tone for this; however, figuratively speaking...this statement is not far off from the truth. Let me change the sentence to make it more like how it really has become (with spelling corrections):
Even here on /. it's difficult to make a statement to showcase just how over the top the feminist voice has become without facing ad hominem rebuttals or getting modded down into oblivion.
The feminazis have made statements that they want a discussion about sexism in gaming, but whenever someone brings up a valid point on the opposing view the feminazis return with ad hominem attacks and such great stereotyping like the stupid ass "#YesAllMen" hashtag crap.
No.
I'm sorry, that's not a discussion.
That's a War.
The feminazis don't want discussion. They have drawn a line in the sand and the voices are either for them, or they're against them. Well, I am a feminist moderate looking for true equality between men and women (which Video Games have, on the great scale, equally objectified Men and Women)... and I stand firmly against them.

Who'd have thought. The gamepolitics.com link is Slashdotted.
It isn't; I had trouble with it even before I posted it (but I thought it was just me).
http://www.gamepolitics.com/20... [gamepolitics.com]
On September 16, 2012 GamePolitics published a story about Brad Wardell and Stardock Systems entitled " Report: Stardock Sued Former Marketing Manager After She Sued CEO for Sexual Harassment [gamepolitics.com] ." In that report we echoed a false narrative that Stardocks lawsuit against former marketing manager Alexandra Miseta was filed in retaliation for her filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Stardock CEO Brad Wardell and his company in late 2010.
After reaching out to Wardell, I have come to the conclusion that I fell short in my reporting on this story and felt compelled to set the record straight. I have also seen proof from Wardell that legal actions were in motion long before Stardock filed its lawsuit against Miseta in the Summer of 2012. It should be noted at this point that Wardell could not have shown me this proof in September of 2012 because of ongoing litigation.
According to that new evidence (an invoice I have seen from the American Arbitration Association dated June 29, 2011 - Case #54-160-00009-11 02 CHFL-C) Stardock founder and CEO Brad Wardell, his attorney Paul P. Asker, former Stardock Marketing Manger Alexandra Miseta and/or her legal representative, were involved in ongoing arbitration. While we do not know the exact start or end date of those arbitration proceedings, two things become pretty clear: the lawsuit filed by Stardock (alleging that Miseta "deleted, destroyed, and/or stole promotional materials, analytics data, and trade show information" vital to the launch of Elemental: War of Magic) after the court denied the companys motion to dismiss Misetas sexual harassment case on July 13, 2012 was a change in venue of sorts - going from arbitration to a full blown court case.
Ultimately both lawsuits were settled out of court, culminating in a letter of apology [kotaku.com] written by Miseta.
The other thing I want to emphasize here is that, because Wardell was in litigation with Miseta on two different fronts, there was no way he would have made a public comment to the media... but he was never given a fair chance to do so by us or the many other news outlets reporting on the story.
Whether someone is willing to comment on litigation while it is active is irrelevant; it is our job to give those that are the subject of tough stories like this one a reasonable amount of time to respond.
As President Harry S. Truman was fond of saying, "the buck stops here." I take full responsibility for the articles that continued this narrative (whether I wrote them or not) because as the managing editor I encouraged our writers to write them and approved them for publication. And while I did reach out to Wardell prior to publishing our story [gamepolitics.com], he deserved more than a few hours to respond to those accusations.
At the end of the day I let our readers down and did a disservice to all involved. For that I offer my sincerest apologies. On a personal note, I want to publicly thank Brad Wardell for taking the time to show me proof and to accept my apology. I only wish I had been able to see that proof sooner.
As an aside, I was compelled to revisit this topic after the Zen of Design blog [zenofdesign.com] wrote a lengthy story about it and apologized. If you have not read it, you should take the time to do so; it offers some additional perspective on the Stardock legal battles with Miseta.
