Darn you SlashEdsDoYourJob. The moment I read the article title, I knew this was a dupe but wanted to confirm my hunch. Did a quick search using Google and rushed back here to post the link. And here I find the first comment (at least the first comment visible to me) pointing to the original post. I hope you are happy. By the way, do you realize that if the Slashdot editors did their jobs, you would not have that nick?
Mods, I hope this post get a good mod as I did not post a duplicate dupe comment even after I took the pains to do a Google search to confirm that this post is indeed a dupe.
PS: The word that I got to type in to confirm that I am not a script was 'grieve'. How apt.
