Why would you say that?
Anyway, in the press release (in dutch) it says they arrested them through the sale via an undercover agent. So they decided to meet IRL somehow.
Sounds like old school police work like me.

Also beta sucks.

Submitted by Forbo on Thursday February 06, 2014 @01:58PM

Forbo writes: Since the migration to Slashdot Beta was announced, it seems all meaningful discussion has been completely disrupted with calls to boycott and protest. Rather than pull an Occupy, what can be done to focus and organize the action? What is the end goal: To revert entirely to the previous site, or to address the problems with the new site?

I'm reviewing and getting comfortable with slashcode right now. I'm looking for volunteers to help with setup and running the site. If the site becomes profitable, I intend to hire from the pool of volunteers. If you've ever wanted to participate in a site like Slashdot, here's your chance! I'm particularly in need of people who can:

Set up and manage a high-traffic site (servers, load-balancers, data sites, &c)
Edit story submissions
HTML, CSS, and script creation/bugfix/repair

Did Slashdot read any of those articles?

Submission + - Dice Holdings has written off Slashdot Media at the close of 2013 (prnewswire.com) 3

Submitted by moogla on Thursday February 06, 2014 @12:32PM

moogla writes: Apparently Dice.com could not make Slashdot work they way they wanted to; with a murky plan to tap into the Slashdot-reader community to somehow drive attention or insight into other Dice Holdings properities, they've burned through

$7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media

and have only started to realize some improvement on related sites. With ad revenue declining and not expected to pick up (read: everyone who uses Slashdot uses adblocking softwarwe), it appears that the Slashdot stewardship experiment by Dice Holdings has been a financial failure. Since the site has been redesigned in a user-hostile fashion with a very generic styling, this reader surmises Dice Holdings is looking to transform or transfer the brand into a generic Web 3.0 technology property. The name may be more valuable than the user community (since we drive no revenue nor particularly use Dice.com's services).

Submission + - Fuck beta 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 06, 2014 @12:04PM

An anonymous reader writes: The beta is bad. It's so bad. The comments are reduced in screen width about 50%. Subject lines are deemphasized, scores are minimized, etc.

The discussions are the reason to come to Slashdot, and the beta trivializes them entirely. It looks like the comment section on a generic news site.

The comments now look like an afterthought, whereas they used to be the primary focus of the site.

My router also gives warnings like this all the time. It doesnt mean that someone is trying to attack you.

Physically disconnect all computer and my suspicion is that the messages will disappear. If that's the case just keep reconnecting computers and starting services until they come back again.

Or maybe your or their provider has some issues with their upstream provider, or they have some weird routing issues, ... It could be anything, but not an indication of NSA data gathering. That still might happen, but even if they do need to change your route it's not like your going to see 'nsa-logging.gchq.gov.uk' in your traceroute.
