I know slashdot does not generate articles. It only links to articles,
sometimes in a VERY misleading paragraph, than leaves some uninformed
geeks debate about the misleading text.
The article you most probably missed is some other place[1]
And the text supports that first paragraph of yours. But nothing of the
rest of your text.
