Please make it stop. I can't decide if it's because it's (a) short, (b) unfunny, or (c) just lame, but stop making comments. Soon.
If it says Idle... don't read it? Why do people complain? Even the FRONT PAGE of slashdot says "Idle is a complete waste of your time, don't go there". This goes to show how many idiots will still post how much they hate something they are reading, even knowing they don't like it BEFORE reading it. What's next, going to a Microsoft forum and saying how much you hate Microsoft?
"If it says Idle... don't read it? Why do people complain?
Because not EVERYONE can see it IS idle. If you use the/. RSS feed you do NOT know if something is "idle" or not.
If/. must persist with this digg-based, lowbrow "idle" crap -- despite a large number of users complaining -- then they should at least remove the titles from the main RSS feed or put "IDLE:" at the beginning of every article title.
Then, those of us who do not wish to read this shit can avoid it. That seems fair, does it not?
Seriously? (Score:-1, Redundant)
