World's Smallest Camera Plane is Revealed in Public [PICS]
livescience.com — It has a 4-inch wingspan and weighs just over 3 grams. It looks like a dragonfly, and its flapping wings make it fly just like one. But it's a man-made aircraft which carries a tiny camera that transmits live video of what it sees — and it is intended to be merely the forerunner of much smaller aerial drones to come.

- MacBigot, on 07/23/2008, -19/+2MakiMaki = automatically buried for continually and shamelessly resubmitting other people's stories despite enjoying a ridiculously high popularity ratio.

Get your facts right.
Next time, don't jump to assumptions of automatic guilt.- Kyan, on 07/23/2008, -11/+3MakiMaki, you have 21,357 recent shouts and 27,372 recent diggs. Who the hell do you think you are kidding?

"The dupe engine didn't catch it" excuse must apply to a lot of your submissions. Meanwhile the rest of us toil in vain. - MakiMaki, on 07/23/2008, -3/+12@MacBigot
You've got to be kidding me. You're actually pointing fingers when you are resubmitting stories yourself.
Look at this fine exhibit here:

The problem here is that a TON of stories are submitting everyday. The dupe filter only gives a SNAPSHOT of them and sometimes it doesn't even work properly. Recent examples: The Dark Knight/George Carlin's passing etc... you have dupes flying all around by all digg users.
You've been using digg long enough, you know the dupe filter sometimes fails. Especially when the titles and source site is completely different.
I didn't intentionally dupe that Holocaust story. That's the honest truth. You can continue to doubt and insinuate that I'm wrong till you're blue in the face, but that's what happened. I don't lie.
You have 2 options. Either ignore the rational explanations of another person and insist that he or she is wrong or you can take them at their word and drop the issue.
I don't see the point in arguing over something as silly as this. It's just digg, for ***** sake.

- thatfunman, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3To be fair, I dugg both of the stories. In my opinion, if a story is awesome, does it really matter if the same story has already been submitted before? Now that teh Google will be running things, I'm sure Digg will be tweaked out for better performance in the dupe department.
