Slashdot

Engadget is providing coverage and story updates regarding the pending demonstration of Steorn's Orbo "free-energy" machine in the Kinetica Museum in London. A formal announcement will be made tonight at 6pm London time (1pm New York).

Apparently the trolling on slashdot was of substantially higher quality in the olden days, see here. Are there any free ways to get onto usenet, since /. is now basically 99.999+% 'corporatized'?

Slashdot is on a steady decline towards the likes of digg (that of a mindless link farm). The firehose feature is especially digg-like and lame.

** UPDATE **
http://www.adequacy.org/ -- Does anyone know what happened to this site (it is no longer maintained?! I am interested in finding a replacement for the increasingly dull slashdot.
