Sounds like someone might have been nobbled. But in any case, describing countries such as the US or Australia as "free" - when citizens are free to view whatever content they want so long as they have no objection to so-called "Intelligence" services spying on them and taking whatever action they see fit - seems a bit hollow to me.
what's the point of reading slashdot (Score:2, Insightful)
if its own editors don't even read it. because just scanning the headlines for one minute a day and having a barely workable human memory would send off dupe alarm bells
so taco: please tell us what website you are reading so we can stop reading here and go there instead, since you obviously don't consider slashdot worth your time. you obviously think slashdot is beneath your interest level
its insulting to slashdot's readers, and it just leaves you with the feeling that if the powers that be around here don't even care enough to read their own site, so why am i reading this site? its a major turn off
how long has the dupe problem dragged on?
what exactly is your fucking problem that you can't scan the headlines of your own fucking website for one minute a day?
