Thank you Slashdot. You created one of the greatest communities on the internet. Yeah, it is a community, despite the fact that we mostly argue with each other all the time:-) No other site comes close to being as insightful and interesting, and occasionally hilarious.
I'm sure there will be lots of "Slashdot is dying" posts, but I think it is more of an inevitable change. Long gone as the Emacs vs. vi holy wars, to be replaced with the Android vs. iOS wars. How long ago the late 90s seem now.
Why, I remember the olden days before/. user accounts. I consider my UID to be artificially high because I waited days (weeks?) before signing up when they became available.
