[01:40:28] <chromas> Filthy conversions!
[01:44:44] <Bytram> grr. It is an *excellent* article! Clearly explained to me how noise could be beneficial in a resonant cavity, and I cannot atm see a way to chop the story down so that it is still informative, but does not also impinge on fair use. :/

[07:45:25] <chromas> Would it be bad form to swap out the reddit link on the MS Update story to point to old.reddit.com ?
[08:19:02] <janrinok> if we change something in the story after release we have to accompany it with an Editors' Comment and explain why the change was made. I would suggest simply adding the link at the end of the story, accompanied by an Eds' Comment, and a message saying that we thought it might be better to point to the 'old school' style or whatever. But the first question is - does it enhance the actual story?
[08:25:03] <chromas> It doesn't. In fact, probably most people won't even click through :)
[08:25:25] <chromas> However, the default reddit style is the beta of reddit :D
