Slashdot's biggest problem is that at "news for nerds", we're now vastly outnumbered by normals who think they're nerds because they have an iPad. I don't know of another, better nerd message board.
It isn't dead yet, but K5 died after Rusty started neglecting it; it was a pretty big deal in its time, now it's a ghost town. I see it happening here since Taco left.

Am I normal?

I finally understood BM not as bosun mate, but as bowel movement.
Some chiefs would say that's a distinction without a difference.

I have to agree with some of the other comments I see sprinkled here and there - it has become much more of a PITA to post here, and there are fewer and fewer people posting. There's enough happening to keep me somewhat interested, though.
