Bleh. Apparently not caring what you do on other sites or even requiring any personal information isn't good enough for the state of Confusion^WCalifornia, so we have a shiny, new, temporary Privacy Policy posted on every page and linked at the top of the nav bar.

If you feel like prettying the language, layout, or whatever up before I get around to it, feel free to do so and submit a pull request.

    "Have you seen /. recently? They completely disabled A.C. posts. You have to register and sign in to post comments."

    This appears to be completely false.

    Nope. I verified it a month or so ago. Logged in users can post anonymously like they can here but actual ACs were banned last year.

      I stand corrected.

      I got as far as seeing that the AC form displayed and looked normal before posting. But your right, I get a message "Sorry, anonymous posting has been turned off. Please register and log in." upon hitting the "Preview" button.

      Sad.
