    "Gaah. I don't tend to bother about slashdot, because quite frankly, the whole _point_ of slashdot is to have this big public **** session with people getting together and making their own "insightful" comment on any random topic, whether they know anything about it or not." -- Linus Torvalds, in an email

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ROFL. Brilliant.

    I know the guy's very good at what he does, but he's an arrogant knob from what I can tell.

    Well done....you did a good final year project, now sit down and shut up.

    LOL.. he does speak the truth though. Although /. has gone downhill a lot. You have multiple same stories (sometimes linking to the duplicates).

    There have been reports of certain reporters giving preference to certain people for stories. These people would post about a story and link to their blog (which links off to the actual story). The blog would then get lots of ad revenue hits.

    Some other stories are just blatant advertisements or PR releases.

    He's right, slashdot smells of pee.
