1. Aha! A Slashdot subscriber!

The rest of the world (me included) will be able to see the /. story in an hour or so, I believe.

Yeah, I just noticed that, and planned to kick this thread then.

5. Not sure

I don't know if it will be front page or not; it' a "Your Rights Online" topic.

8. Don't sweat it

I've had three I think, out of twenty-five submission. I've just started to put any rejected ones into my own Slashdot "journal".

And I haven't gotten mod points this entire year, ever since I criticized Taco for having DirecTv.

But I get modded +5 a lot (14 in my last 24 posts, for instance), so I've got "excellent" karma
