Comment The problem is internet access. (Score 2) 71

It's fine that they're testing shit. That's fine.

But why is it not a complete dark site, with no connectivity whatsoever? Why isn't the traffic at the very least forced through a proxy and reviewed?

Sure fine they're exploiting stuff like artifactory to gain Internet access, but why was there any connectivity at all during the testing?

The number of people questioning the relevance of Fark on Slashdot, as if Slashdot has been relevant in the last decade.

Slashdot USED to do SOME original journalism, long long ago. Now, it's nothing more than a very low-volume link aggregator itself, with occasional effort put into some posts here and there.

Skills atrophy with lack of use. They were taught how to read an analog clock when they were ~7 years old, and then never used the skill again.

It's hard to expect a child to retain skills they haven't used. I learned how to use a sewing machine in Home Economics back in 1994 or so. Damned if I could get one started today.
