Proof that Slashdot censors posts.
The same month that DICE Holdings announced they were selling slashdot, they also had a post asking for questions to ask Briana Wu in a subsequent slashdot interview. I wasn't the only person to ask why Wu was refusing to confirm or deny that she was a transsexual. Actually, I was more direct - Why do you refuse to admit you are a transsexual? Are you ashamed? And a few more questions, including how she can think it's not hypocritical to decry games depictions of women while her own game site has the characters hyper-sexualized, right down to camel-toe.
All gone.
Wouldn't have noticed except that today they posted some more click bait - Brina Wu To Run For Congress.
One poster asked why she hadn't answered the trans question, someone else claimed it hadn't been asked. Au contraire, and I was far from the only one to ask.
Slashdot can no longer benefit from the DMCA's safe harbor provisions for not censoring comments, since they can no longer claim they never censor comments.
I wonder if it happens here ... inquiring minds want to know.

Web sites i use for getting articles for submissions
Maybe a list for submitters of sites used to collect stories
I use (and ever expanding):
BBC
theverge.com
neweurope.eu (different perspective)
politico.com
washingtonpost.com (has an article limit per month)
reddit
cbc (canadian news plus a sort of unbiased news site)
Aljazeera
Can't think anymore. Vodka.
Maybe should set up a news source area? To help get submissions?
My mealworm farm
My mealworm farm has produced it's first babies: little mealworms about less than a baby finger width in length (no i am not about to try to measure them.
Hopefully i will get a good 'crop' and the cycle will go on with an increased 'harvest' of beetles (i already have more than my turtle can eat).
It's kind of cool: if you get close to the beetle 'farm' (a plastic bin filled with oatmeal and a water source (something like a pickle jar cap with carrot/celery/potato slices in it)) you can hear something like the rice crispies 'snap crackle pop' sound.
It's like a constant clicking sound. Fascinating, Captain.
I've heard you shouldn't eat the mealworms you buy from the pet store, but the next generation should be fine: whatever... it will be this batch or the next that i will be sampling.
Kind of doubting my wife and daughter will try them, but maybe my son-in-law?
Or they will all try it if i feel the need to be mean and MAKE them try it, lol.
When "computers" were the people who sat at "calculators"
THIS is the kind of thing I find interesting:
For an interesting wikipedia article on the history of computers/hardware, the link below will lead you to as many links as you may want to follow.
I remember my dad talking about punching cards to Program the huge computer at Queens university. In high school, I was filling in the cards with a pencil.
My young (at the time) brother-in-law won a vic-20 and was typing his commands.

My first personal computer was an Acorn Atom... I could only dream of the 64k that Bill Gates said was enough for anyone. I could never get the cassette tape to record my carefully typed and debugged programs.
