I used to, but it just got out of hand. Kind of like Kuro5hin.

 

[Ameesh]

no slashdot is full unamerican pinkos

 

[tweakmm]

I visit slashdot and kuro5hin daily, it's nice to get a different view on issues. I'm sure this doesn't suprise most of you

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

yea, I read it almost every day. What is kor5hin? have to check it out.

I stick mainly to the Science and space stuff and stay away from most everything else.

No, it has the worst UI of almost any snob/chic/geek site I've seen.

As far as this being the most useless poll ever, I'm just curious.

Forgot about Cowboy Neal heh.

They ayes have it so far though, 19-12.

 

[SuperSix]

MMMmm.... tacos.....

 

[SmooveB]

amnesiac 2.0, I'd like to point you over to this poll. I'm thinking mine is only second most useless.

First off, it's slashdot.ORG, not slashdot.net!

Slashdot is a half decent site, if you can look past their pro-Linux and anti-MS biases. The site is owned by a Linux software development company, and it shows both their editorials and choice of stories that they post on their homepage.

The thing that bothers me the most, however, is that many of their editors are total hypocrites. They'll post story opon story about how evil big corporations like Microsoft and AOL-Time Warner are, but they'll also be the first people to post news stories about the release of new Lord of Rings and X-Box products! Can you say "Confilct of Interest?!?" I like some of the cool stories that they post, but I have no respect for the editors like CmdrTaco who can't "practice what they preach".

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I'm Cowboy Neal, you insensitive clod.

 

[dukdukgoos]

Slashdot's fun. I like the Register too.

 

[Whitecloak]

[wfbberzerker]

[Nemesis77]

I read /. daily

Yep, freedom of speech sure is un-american

 

[brtspears2]

The site has lost its touch over the years.

Besides, a good number of them are one sided, defending open source like ... saliors to women in a new port of call.
