Slashdot is already dead. What will be left here when you remove community and discussion system? Hacker news is much better regarding stuff that matters already. On the other hand I am afraid that the next great thing has to just happen (like Slashdot happened) not to be engineered as some profitable project.

Might be a philosophical question whether tipping a developer is not in conflict with free software idea.

Judge Dismisses 'Other OS' Class-Action Suit Against Sony 403

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 13, 2011 @05:34PM from the product-may-not-behave-as-advertised dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You may recall that in early 2010, Sony decided to roll out an update that would remove the ability for PlayStation 3 owners to install a different operating system on the console, citing security concerns as the reason. Geeks and Linux enthusiasts were outraged at the move, particular since the "Other OS" functionality had been advertised as a feature of the PS3. A class-action lawsuit was soon brought against Sony. Many of the initial claims were thrown out, and now, a federal judge in California has granted Sony's motion to dismissed the lawsuit, saying, 'As a matter of providing customer satisfaction and building loyalty, it may have been questionable. As a legal matter, however, plaintiffs have failed to allege facts or articulate a theory on which Sony may be held liable.' Here's the full text of the order (PDF)."

I was reading slashdot for past 8 years since my high school. I have created this new account just to say THANK YOU. It is almost frightening that such a news about someone who I haven't ever met and who I know just as a strange nick under some of those interesting posts would bring so much nostalgic thoughts. Things are definitely changing way much faster than I would like. Thank you CmdrTaco for all the stuff that matters. Because of you I know what is going on in the world around.
