	use Perl \| MIT Slashdotted
		Rob Malda, creator of Slashdot and rabid Perl fan, one of his rare appearances outside of his Holland, MI home to talk about what life is like on the Slashdot Compound, why coders should care about lawsuits, and why he'll never take a course in journalism.
		Malda half-jokingly bragged about not preparing for the speaking engagement in the slashdot news item annoucing his MIT appearance.
		When asked what his favorite part about slashdot is, Malda said that he can now get paid to do what he wants, he can live where he wants to and (because of slashdot's parent company, VA Research) play with all the hardware he wants.
