Forget about fair moderation from Slashdot nowadays. Moderation has gone to the dogs with mass idiots joining this site.

I would like to know this too. PC batteries are the worst, they last 1 year or 300 cycles. Macs are far better, rated at 1000 cycles. But it's still not good enough considering the life of the product.

Do what I do. I exist and consume services. I don't put my name against anything online. Even if you found me, you wouldn't know anything about me.
