How about all you fucking whiners spend 5 minutes learning how to set a few preferences and STFU? You guys are as bad as the parents who want lily-white safe TV for their kids to watch but are offended at suggestions they simply use the on/of button on their remote instead.
"Slashdot is supposed to be a mature community " You must be very new here:) Slashdot is full of trip, flame wars, script kiddies, all flavor of zealot, intolerance, and a few sparks of brilliance that make it all worth while. In other words it mirrors life pretty dang well.
Funny but I don't think that they do. I have made a post and then found out that I was wrong thanks to a realy. Then the funny thing is my post got modded up and the post that was correct was modded down. It really sucks because I actually felt bad that more people got to read my incorrect post than the right answers. As to more mature than Fark/Digg/Engadget?

Slashdot is supposed to be a mature community with articles that pertain to important items.
Visitors to the website will see this because they don't have a "Setting" to adjust.
