I was away from slashdot for a while. Is it just me, or have most of the comments turned from somewhat lengthy and on topic to little 5 word "witty" remarks (like found on reddit)?

Here's a good article I found on how "Space and time are bent into other dimensions".

Didn't realise it was such a simple concept.

Also, anyone notice slashdot acting up lately?
