Slashdot or /. is a popular tecnhology/open source/geek website. It’s also one of the rare web-site’s that has been around for long enough that I can actually say that I grew up with it.

To casual observer it might seem that it’s just pieces of random stories that are badly written, often with extreme pro-linux bias and no serious editorial policy. To which long time users would reply: that’s all true, but that’s not the point of /.
Recently, I’ve found this gem as a comment to a random story that perfectly expresses the true nature of /.
You’ve never really slashdotted until you’ve dived head first into the 5th page of comments on a story whose title you read only half of, and the subject of which does not interest you in the least. Then you will find, as your tired eyes browse, in a lively offtopic thread, surrounded by song and laughter, words to tickle your mind and taunt your intellect. And you will post. And you will say: I have been on slashdot today.
