Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal 854
Our marketing department has done extensive research over
the last 3 quarters and discovered that our audience is strangely disproportionately
skewed towards males. Like, 98.3% males to be precise. To correct this
oversight, we have decided to subtly tweak Slashdot's design and content
to widen our appeal to these less active demographics. Don't worry! We'll still
continue to serve our core audience, but we hope you'll work with us as
we try to find a balance that will work for all.

Don't get me wrong, we owe RMS for the GPL and more, but you have to admit, he looks Jerry Garcia after an all nighter.

Except for, possibly, mine. I wonder if this counts as "insightful".... oh well, fuck it.

Considering the fact that /. is based in the United States I fail to see how being North American-centric in this case as being "silly".
I agree, it's not silly at all. But it is silly to assume that North American time is the only reasonable choice.
