Reminder that Soylent News keeps your IP, the hash is trivially unmasked, and logged in user's AC comments are forever tied to the username, in no way anonymous to anyone with database access. Admins selectively apply rules, but lately we're seeing a push against white supremacy. Admins can remove content but say they can not, but here is to hoping the slightly better quality of discourse remains.

More Spam Mods ought to fix this. Or, it should. Not sure why, only that some people hate people who disagree with them, especially when they prove clearly that their conservative beliefs are wrong and stupid. Oh, the pain and embarrassment!

Or, at the end, aristarchus has won, by making you ban him, and damage the very premiss upon which SoylentNews was founded. Ncommander is never getting his money back.
On the contrary - the front page is exactly as it should be. The journals are being used to discuss any topic that the community wish that isn't suitable or selected for the front page - exactly as they should be. aristarchus cannot create usable sock puppets - which is also exactly as it should be.
But if that is what he wanted to achieve then I suppose he has won. He just wasted a lot of his time going about it in a childish way.

I notice a sub by Ncommander in the queue, on SoylentNews shutdown. Like the guy in the rowboat in the hold of the Exxon Valdez in the movie "Waterworld", when Kevin Costner dropped the light flare, I just want to say, "Thank God."

Way too many. More than 20 on my primary work PC, then there's the main work VM, servers and other boxes I log on to. At home I've got my main PC, and several VMs..
I voted to many to waste time counting, mainly because that's what I'm generally at. I recently switched work computers, so I've not built-up to that point, though. Still, it's not that difficult to count the tabs. Just bookmark them all and then it's easy enough to find how many you have in the bookmark manager or favorites manager in Firefox/Chrome/Edge.
-- Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee"
If I started counting, I'd need to count all of the tabs, in all of the browsers, right? I have six browsers open, and I ain't bothering. And, I probably wouldn't be honest if I did bother to count.
-- Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.
Only three browsers, but two different PCs... what, maybe 20 tabs? I got bored and stopped counting. Plus a very large chunk of bookmarks that are tab groups saved because it was getting out of hand and I needed to shut down or something.
Actually there might be one running on another PC that nowadays mostly controls the printer. I'd have to check.
-- And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.

That is what I always thought. Expect Spam Mods shortly.

The only problem I have with browser tabs is everything that appears between the navigation bar and the bottom of the browser window.
How often should I have my memory checked? I used to know but...

I've only got 6 windows open, and of one of the windows I have so few tabs that the tab scroller isn't shown!
